Now that we have the "green light", can we please start the process of
setting up the UK entity that will act as agent for this activity. According
to Jeff, the bond trading activity will not start right away and, in any
case, the volume for this activity will be fairly light. Therefore, I think
it would be best if we just set up one agent now and decide on the need for
another separate entity at a later date.

Thanks and regards,
John

Subject: Bond & Equity Trading

I have just received the letter SFA promised us. SFA have accepted our
argument that our proprietary bond and equity trading can be carried on in
London through an unregulated UK entity. The letter also states that SFA
will not be applying their consolidated capital supervision rules to the
unregulated entity, which they have the discretion to do.

From a regulatory perspective this means we can move ahead at full speed to
set up an appropriate Chinese Wall and then begin trading.

Best regards

Paul
