The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

| | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value |
| | 1999 | 1999 | 1998 | 1998 |
| | $000's | $000's | $000's | $000's |

| Bank overdraft | (41) | (41) | - | - |
| Interest rate swaps | - | (2,018) | - | 808 |

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash, short term investments, bank overdraft and short term debt. The carrying amounts of these balances are equivalent to their fair value.

Interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements (FRA's) and options. The fair value of interest rate swaps, FRA's and options, is estimated based on quoted market prices of those instruments and apportioned between the mandatory convertible notes (assigned to line business) and other debt (not assigned to line business).

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Interest Rate Hedge Contracts

Fluctuations in interest rates give rise to market risk.

The company has short term investments which are subject to interest rate variations in the market.

Interest rate swaps, FRA's and options, are employed to manage interest rate exposure on long term borrowings.
