10: The purpose of this statement is to set out facts relevant to the positions entered into

between NCI Finance Limited and MFGUK which, along with the Initial margin and

Variation margin posted withMFG UKinrespect of these positions,are the subject of the

throughout the day which, in the n 0(111 a I course, are available from financial information
