   Reconciliation of NAV per share movements for the month ended 31 May 2023:

    

    

                                                            May 2023 (pence)
   NAV at the beginning of period                                     103.09
         Operating Income available to distribute (3)                   0.62
         Realised FX gains / (losses) not distributable (4)             0.00
         Unrealised FX gains / (losses) (5)                           (0.08)
   NAV at the end of the period                                       103.63

    

   (3)  Operating  Income  available  to  distribute  comprises  loan  income
   recognised in the period less the cost of debt facilities utilised by  the
   Group and  operating costs  incurred. The  Operating Income  available  to
   distribute also includes  any realised  foreign exchange  gains or  losses
   upon settlement of hedges, except those described in note 4.

   (4) On occasion, the Group may realise a gain or loss on the roll  forward
   of a hedge if it  becomes necessary to extend  a capital hedge beyond  the
   initial anticipated loan term.   If this situation  arises the Group  will
   separate the realised  FX gain  or loss from  other realised  FX gains  or
   losses and not consider  it available to distribute  or as a reduction  in
   distributable profits. The FX gain or loss will only be considered part of
   distributable reserves or as a reduction in distributable profits when the
   rolled hedge matures or is settled and  the final net gain or loss on  the
   capital hedges can be determined.

   (5) Unrealised foreign exchange  gain/losses relate to  the net impact  of
   changes in  the valuation  of  foreign exchange  hedges and  the  sterling
   equivalent value of Euro loan investments (using the applicable month  end
   rate).  Mismatches between the hedge  valuations and the loan  investments
   may occur depending on the shape of  the forward FX curve and this  causes
   some movement in  the NAV.   These unrealised FX  gains /  losses are  not
   considered part of distributable reserves.
