AGCiT employs a significant amount of bank debt to provide gearing in its 
capital structure. 
 
The number of Income Shares of 1p currently in issue is 24,500,000.  The 
number of Capital Shares of 1p currently in issue is 10,500,000.  All net 
income will be attributed to Income Shares which have a capital entitlement 
of 96.59p each rising to 100p by the Planned Winding Up Date of 31 December 
2011, which date will subsist unless an earlier reconstruction is approved. 
Capital Shares receive no dividends but all capital after repayment of bank 
debt and capital entitlement of Income Shares. AGCiT's Bank facility is GBP 
34.3m (GBP30.0m of which is at a fixed interest rate of 6.47%).  The fair 
value of AGCiT's interest rate swap agreement based on the bid price at 12 
August 2010 was a liability of GBP1,724,000 and is accounted for within the 
NAV of the Capital Share. 
 
Dividends are paid, semi-annually, to Income Shareholders with the first 
interim announced each July and paid in August and the second interim 
announced each January and paid in February.
