During October, the  price of  WTI crude continued  its upward  trend
trading between US$71  and US$81 and  ending the month  at US$77  per
barrel.  Equity  levels were  range-bound during  the month  with  an
initial rally tailing off as the earnings season got into full  swing
and as  November approached.   The high  yield bond  market was  less
volatile than in previous  months with the ML  Euro High Yield  Index
returning c.2%.

In the FPSO sector, EOC Limited announced that it has been awarded  a
contract at Premier Oil's Chim  Sao project in Vietnam. The  contract
has a firm period of 6 years and options of up to 6 years. The  value
of the firm period is  approximately US$527 million, equivalent to  a
day rate of c.US$240,000.  This contract is  the third FPSO  contract
awarded in 2009 and it is  encouraging to see long term contracts  at
firm day-rates such as these being awarded.

The Company's portfolio recorded  gains over the  month related to  a
number of its positions.

Master Marine ASA finalized its restructuring plan. The Company  held
a position  of EUR2million  in  the bonds.  The  plan resulted  in  a
recovery to  bondholders  of  approximately  67%,  of  which  58%  is
scheduled to be received in cash  in three instalments prior to  year
end 2009.  The remaining 9% is in the form of equity shares in Master
Marine ASA.  More details of the company refinancing can be found  on
the website www.master-marine.no.

Mark-to-market gains  on the  month were  recorded once  more on  the
position in Nexus  Floating Production  Ltd as  further progress  was
reported to have been made towards the sale of the vessel.

Gains were also recorded in the three bonds issued by Skeie  Drilling
& Production  ASA.  After  the recent  financial  restructuring,  the
market has become more optimistic about the prospects for the 3 giant
jack-up rigs being built in Singapore.
