If market rates of interest on our variable rate debts,
increased by 10%, then the increase in interest expense on the
variable rate debts would be $4.1 million annually. As of
31 December 2007, the fair value of our debts was
$1,680.6 million. See Notes 21 and 26 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on
