restated to incorporate a revised "Deferred  consideration"  figure based on the
cumulative effects of accounting  adjustments  relating to changes in accounting
policies  regarding  the  treatment of  corporation  tax and deferred tax plus a
one-off   adjustment  of  income  receivable  from  the  mortgages  trust.  This
restatement  does not affect the past or current cash value of amounts  standing
to the credit of either the first or the second reserve funds.
