                  CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
  AND UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER
                          1998
                            
During   the  year  your  Company  continued  to  invest
internationally in those companies which we believe were
best  placed  to  benefit  from increased  environmental
protection expenditure.  We prioritised earnings  growth
potential,  purity  of exposure, strong  management  and
shareholder value.

I  am pleased to report good relative performance during
the  year  despite considerable volatility  in  markets.
Strong market rises in the first half gave way to  sharp
falls  in  the  second,  although these  were  generally
recovered  by  the  year  end.  During  the  year  small
companies  in  general  continued to  underperform  main
markets.  Your Company's portfolio reflected this trend,
although   it   was  able  to  maintain   the   relative
outperformance  registered in the first half,  with  net
assets rising over the year by 1 per cent compared to  a
fall  in the CRI Global Smaller Companies Index  of  3.5
per  cent.  At 31 December 1998 fully diluted net assets
per share were 135.2p.

For  the  full  year the total return  was  0.96p.   Net
revenues  amounted  to  #136,000, with  good  underlying
dividend growth generated from the investment portfolio.
The  Directors declare a maintained interim dividend  of
0.5p  (net)  per ordinary share for the  year  ended  31
December 1998.

Unaudited  Results  for  the  twelve  months  ended   31
December 1998
