Emphasis of matter - significant uncertainty with respect to the Group's ability 
to continue to hold non-agency US mortgage-backed securities accounted for as 
loans and receivables at amortised cost. 
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 39 which explains the 
significant uncertainty with respect to the Group's ability to hold non-agency 
US mortgage-backed securities accounted for as loans and receivables at 
amortised cost. 
While the Group has the current intention and the ability to continue to hold 
its portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, a substantial portion of these 
securities are pledged as collateral and are subject to minimum rating and 
valuation requirements. 
Valuations of such securities have been very volatile and if sales of 
non-agency US mortgage-backed securities are required to obtain other assets, 
the Group would reduce net assets in the amount of the shortfall between the 
sale price and the book value on an amortised cost basis. As of 28 February 2009 
the book value of non-agency mortgage backed securities was $165.2 million 
higher than the market value provided by the Group's pricing service.
