Notes to the Accounts

Basis of Preparation

The interim accounts, which have not been audited, have been prepared using
accounting policies unchanged from those set out in the Group's 14 August 2001
statutory accounts. The investment properties have not been revalued at 14
February 2002. The abridged accounts for the period ended 15 June 2001 are taken
from accounts filed with the Registrar of Companies which contain an unqualified
audit report.

On 15 August 2001 South Ocean Group plc was sold to Apreit V LP and on the same
day the company resolved to change its name to Ashpah plc which was subsequently
changed to Ashpol PLc on 30 August 2001.
