Floating rate interest is based on Libor and Euribor and a fixed margin. 
The Group monitors movements in interest rates on an ongoing basis and has 
factored in the current low rates of Libor and Euribor in its projections. 
At 31 December 2008, if interest rates on Euro floating rate investments had 
been 150 basis points lower with all other variables held constant, the Group 
loss after tax for the year would have GBP1.5 million higher (2007: profit 
GBP0.95 million lower). 
At 31 December 2008, if interest rates on Euro floating rate investments had 
been 150 basis points lower with all other variables held constant, the Company 
loss after tax for the year would have GBP0.9 million higher (2007: profit 
GBP0.95 million lower). 
The Directors consider that 150 basis points is the maximum likely change in 
Euro interest rates over the next year. The Directors consider that UK and US 
interest rates are unlikely to fall significantly further than their current 
rates. 
 
 
 
 
 
d)  Foreign exchange risk 
 
 
The Group invests in assets denominated in currencies other than Sterling. The 
Group has no foreign exchange hedging in place as the Directors do not consider 
that the reduction in foreign currency exposure warrants the cash flow risk 
created from such hedging techniques. Therefore the movements in the exchange 
rate between Sterling and any currencies in which the Group transact exposes the 
Group to currency risk resulting in gains or losses on retranslation into 
Sterling. These movements in the exchange rate may be influenced by factors such 
as trade imbalances, levels of short term interest rates, differences in 
relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long term 
opportunities for investment and capital appreciation and political 
developments. 
The Group's policy is for Group entities to settle liabilities denominated in 
their own currency with cash generated from operation in that same currency. If 
Group entities have liabilities denominated in a currency other than their 
functional currency (and have insufficient reserves of that currency to settle 
them) cash already in that currency will, where possible, be transferred from 
elsewhere in the Group. 
The table below details the Group and Company's exposure to foreign currencies
