note • Accruals and deferred income includes £2m (1999: £4m) relating to the unamortised profit arising out of the unwinding of a sterling interest rate swap in 1994. The swap was arranged in 1992 in connection with the issue of £100m 10.75% Sterling Bonds 2002. The profit is being amortised over the remaining life of the bonds. None of the amount falls due after more than one year.
