changes in benchmark interest rates.

Unquoted equity investments at cost include £1.8 billion attributable to the Group’s investment in Bank of China which was completed
on 31 December 2005. Also included are equity investments in the Federal Home Loans Bank and Federal Reserve Bank that are
redeemable at cost (£0.8 billion). The remaining investments at cost cannot be measured reliably and comprised numerous small
shareholdings including those received on trouble debt restructuring. Disposals in the year generated gains of £85 million.
At 31 December 2005 the £13 million gross unrealised losses represented 23 equity issues with fair value of £30 million which were in
an unrealised loss position for less than 12 months.
