The proportion of floating rate debt at 31 December 2005 was 96% of total finance debt outstanding. Aside from debt issued in the US municipal
bond markets, interest rates on floating rate debt denominated in US dollars are linked principally to London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR), while
rates on debt in other currencies are based on local market equivalents. The group monitors interest rate risk using a process of sensitivity analysis.
Assuming no changes to the finance debt and hedges described above, it is estimated that a change of 1% in the general level of interest rates
on 1 January 2006 would change 2006 profit before tax by approximately $180 million.
The group uses finance leases to acquire property, plant and equipment. These leases have terms of renewal but no purchase options and
escalation clauses. Renewals are at the option of the lessee. During the year, the group terminated its finance leases on the petrochemicals
manufacturing plant at Grangemouth, Scotland. Future minimum lease payments under finance leases are set out below.
