The Secretary of State in exercise of the powers conferred on him by sections 1, 2AA(1), 2A(1), and 6(1) of the Government Trading Funds Act 1973[1], with the concurrence of the Treasury, hereby makes the following Order:
Citation and commencement

Amendment to the Principal Order

-
"
(2) £12,900,000 of the amount by which the values of the assets of the fund exceed the amounts of the liabilities shall be treated as the revaluation reserve and a revaluation reserve shall be maintained.

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the ABRO Trading Fund Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/719). Capital assets additional to those estimated in that order were allocated to the Fund when it commenced. A revaluation of stock and work in progress was also required. These changes altered the revaluation reserve and the computation of the public dividend capital. Consequent amendments have therefore been made by this Order.
