HAREWOOD STRUCTURED INVESTMENT PCC LIMITED (the "Company") 
Disclosure on Corporate Governance 
 
 
In accordance with the requirements of the Regulations of the Budapest Stock 
Exchange Ltd. and the Corporate Governance Recommendations prepared by the 
Corporate Governance Committee of the Budapest Stock Exchange, the Company 
announces its Corporate Governance Report as follows: 
Harewood Structured Investment PCC Limited, a closed-ended protected cell 
investment company, was incorporated with limited liability on 27 January 2005. 
The Company is managed by its Board of directors who have appointed Harewood 
Asset Management SAS of Paris, France as the Company's external investment 
manager in respect of all cells, the shares in which are listed on the Channel 
Islands Stock Exchange. No external investment manager has been appointed in 
respect of the shares in BNP Paribas Agribusiness, the shares in which are 
listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange. Administrative and secretarial support is 
provided by Anson Fund Managers Limited in Guernsey, Channel Islands. 
BNP Paribas SA acts as distributor and investment counterparty to each of the 
Company's cells. 
The Company is controlled by the "One Tier System". The Board of directors (the 
"Managing Body") comprises John Le Prevost, Francois-Xavier Foucault, Youri 
Siegel and Peter Atkinson, all of whom are non-executive directors. Biographies 
of the directors are provided in the Company's annual financial report, a copy 
of which can be downloaded from the Company's web-site 
www.harewoodsolutions.co.uk/press.aspx. A hard copy of the report is available 
from the Secretary, Anson Fund Managers Limited, upon request. 
 
The directors' remuneration is fixed by the Managing Body and is not expected to 
exceed GBP30,000 in aggregate for all directors in the financial year ended 31 
October 2008. Francois-Xavier Foucault and Youri Siegel have waived their right 
to remuneration by the Company in relation to their incumbencies as directors of 
the Company. 
 
The Managing Body has put in place a framework for corporate governance which it 
believes is suitable for an investment company of its kind. 
The Managing Body meets at least four times a year to consider the business and 
affairs of the Company for the previous quarter and between those quarterly 
meetings the Board meets to consider specific matters of a transactional nature 
and there is regular contact with the Secretary. During the year under review 
the Managing Body met 14 times. The directors are kept fully informed of 
investment and financial controls and other matters that are relevant to the 
business of the Company and should be brought to the attention of the directors. 
The directors also have access, where necessary in the furtherance of their 
duties, to professional advice at the expense of the Company. 
The Managing Body has a breadth of experience relevant to the Company, and the 
directors believe that any changes to the Managing Body's composition can be 
managed without undue disruption. With any new director appointment to the 
Managing Body, consideration will be given as to whether an induction process is 
appropriate. In accordance with the provisions of the Combined Code on Corporate 
Governance appended to the UKLA Listing Rules, the performance of the Managing 
Body and each director is reviewed annually by the Managing Body and all 
directors are subject by rotation to re-election at the Company's Annual General 
Meeting. 
An Audit Committee has been established consisting of all four directors. The 
Audit Committee examines the effectiveness of the Company's internal control 
systems, the annual and half-yearly financial reports, the auditors' 
remuneration and terms of engagement, as well as the auditors' independence and 
any non-audit services provided by them. The Audit Committee receives 
information from the Secretary's compliance department and the external 
auditors. 
The Managing Body is responsible for the Company's system of internal control 
and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Managing Body confirms that there is an 
ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks 
faced by the Company. This process has been in place since the first formal 
meeting of the Managing Body and is reviewed by the Managing Body regularly, at 
least twice in each financial year. 
The internal control systems are designed to meet the Company's particular needs 
and the risks to which it is exposed. Accordingly, the internal control systems 
are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve 
business objectives and by their nature can only provide reasonable and not 
absolute assurance against loss. 
As a Guernsey-incorporated company listed on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange, 
the Company and its Managing Body are required to comply with the Model Code for 
securities transactions by directors of listed companies. The Model Code 
restricts the freedom of directors and certain employees of listed companies to 
deal in their company's securities. Its purpose is to ensure that directors, 
certain employees and persons connected with them do not abuse, and do not place 
themselves under suspicion of abusing, price-sensitive information that they may 
have or be thought to have. They are prohibited from insider dealing. It is a 
criminal offence for an individual who has information as an insider to deal on 
a regulated market, or through or as a professional intermediary, in securities 
whose price would be significantly affected if the inside information were made 
public. It is also an offence to encourage insider dealing and to disclose 
inside information with a view to others profiting from it.

report on corporate governance), the Supervisory Board should request 
confirmation of independence from those of its members who are considered 
independent. (2005/162/EC 13.3.2.) 
    No (Please explain)

R 2.6.1 Members of the Managing Body should inform the Managing Body and (if 
there is one operating) the Supervisory Board (in case of a unitary board 
structure the Audit Committee) if he (or any other person in a close 
relationship to him) has a significant, personal interest in a transaction of 
the company (or of any of the company's subsidiaries). 
    Yes (Complies) (No such transactions) 
 
 
 
 
R 2.6.2 Transactions and commissions between members of the Board and executive

accordance with the provisions of the law. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
 The Managing Body established its guidelines regarding insiders' trading in 
securities and monitored compliance with those guidelines. 
    No (Please explain) 
    As a Guernsey-incorporated company listed on the Channel Islands Stock 
Exchange, the Company and its Managing Body are required to comply with the 
Model Code for securities transactions by directors of listed companies, so it 
is not considered necessary to establish separate guidelines on trading in the 
Company's securities. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.7.1 The Managing Body, as well as a committee set up from among the members 
of the Managing Body should establish guidelines and rules ("Remuneration

the Supervisory Board and the executive management. The remuneration guidelines 
formulated by the Managing Body should be assessed by the Supervisory Board, and

separate item on the agenda. (2004/913/EC 4.1.) 
    No (Please explain)

decisions relating to remuneration of the Managing Body are made by the Managing 
Body having considered the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

    There is no Supervisory Board, as the Company is controlled by the One-Tier 
System. 
 
 
 
 
The guidelines regarding the remuneration for the Managing Body and the 
Supervisory Board and the changes in those guidelines were approved by the 
general meeting, as a separate item on the agenda. 
    No (Please explain) 
    There is no Supervisory Board and there are no executive management. As all 
expenses of the Company are borne by a third party, it is not considered 
necessary or appropriate for the Company's shareholders to approve guidelines 
for the remuneration of the Managing Body. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.7.2 The Managing Body and the Supervisory Board should evaluate the 
performance of the Board(s) annually. (2005/162/EC 8.) 
    Yes (Complies)

System. 
 
 
R2.7.3The responsibilities of the Managing Body should include control over the 
performance and establishment of the remuneration (including incentive payments, 
share options, special contracts, agreements and other allowances) of the 
executive management. It is recommended that this duty is performed on the basis 
of the Remuneration Committee's proposal (See 3.4). In order to avoid conflict 
of interest, it is recommended that the system of option and share allotments, 
the terms of individual loans granted by the company, and the framework for 
other benefits applied by the company (and significant changes in them), if they 
do not represent normal practice, should be approved by the general meeting as a 
separate agenda item (2004/913/EC 6.1.). The Managing Body should pass a 
resolution to determine the persons whose remuneration falls under the review of 
the Board. 
    No (Please explain) 
    There is no executive management.

by the general meeting as a separate agenda item. 
    No (Please explain) 
    There is no executive management. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.7.4In the case of share-based remuneration schemes, the structure should be 
approved by the general meeting, as well as the amount of actual remuneration in 
the case of Managing Body and Supervisory Board members. In the case of the 
members of the executive management, the level of actual remuneration is not the 
responsibility of the general meeting. 
    Before voting, shareholders should be provided with detailed information on 
the share-based remuneration schemes (and any amendments to them), how the 
company provides the necessary shares and what cost this entails. (2004/913/EC 
7.1.-7.2.) 
    No (Please explain) 
    There are no share incentive schemes. 
 
 
 
 
Prior to the decision by the general meeting on share-incentive schemes, 
shareholders received detailed information (at least according to those 
contained in 2.7.4). 
    No (Please explain) 
    There are no share incentive schemes. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.7.7 On the remuneration principles and the actual remuneration of the 
members of the Managing Body, the Supervisory Board and the executive management 
the company should provide information ("Remuneration Statement - 0) for 
shareholders which should be submitted to the general meeting. The Remuneration 
Statement should contain the remuneration of each member of the Managing Body, 
the Supervisory Board and the executive management.. 
    No (Please explain) 
    As all expenses of the Company are borne by a third party, it is not 
considered necessary or appropriate for the Company's shareholders to approve 
receive a separate remuneration statement. All expenses incurred by the Company 
are fully disclosed in the annual financial report sent to all shareholders. 
 
 
 
 
The Remuneration Statement includes information about the remuneration of 
individual members of the Managing Body, the Supervisory Board, and the 
executive management. 
    No (Please explain) 
    For the reasons stated above, no separate reumuneration statement is 
prepared. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.8.1The Managing Body or a committee operated by it should have 
responsibility for overseeing and controlling the complete risk management of 
the company and should, at regular intervals, be obliged to look into the 
effectiveness of risk management procedures. A report on risk management control 
should be submitted to the annual general meeting in the report on corporate 
governance. In order to ensure the successful operation of the company, it is 
the duty of the Managing Body to take measures necessary to identify major risk 
areas. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
The Managing Body requests information on the efficiency of risk management 
procedures at regular intervals. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
The Managing Body took the necessary steps to identify the major risk areas. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
 
 
R 2.8.3 It is the duty and responsibility of the Managing Body to formulate 
principles regarding the system of internal controls and to ensure the 
development of a reliable system of internal controls by the executive 
management which ensures the management of risks affecting the operation of the 
company and the achievement of the company's performance and profit targets. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
 
 
     The system of internal controls established by the executive management 
guarantees the management of risks affecting the activities of the company, and 
the achievement of the company's performance and profit targets. 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    There is no executive management. The Managing Body regularly reviews and 
agrees policies for managing the risks relevant to the Company. As a 
closed-ended investment company with fixed investment portfolios, the Company 
has no performance and profit targets. 
 
 
R 2.8.4When establishing the guidelines on the system of internal controls, the 
Managing Body should take into consideration: 
 
a.)what kind of risks and what degree of risk the company is exposed to during 
its operation; 
b.)what kind of risks and what degree of risk the company considers acceptable; 
c.)what kind of risks the company considers important; 
d.)what measures the company can apply to reduce the risks in the operations of 
the company; 
what the proportion is between the quantity and quality of the company's risk 
management and internal control resources and the efficiency expected in these 
areas. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
 
 
R 2.8.5 It is the executive management's task and responsibility to establish 
and maintain a system of internal controls. 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    There is no executive management.  An Audit Committee has been established 
consisting of all four directors. The Audit Committee examines the effectiveness 
of the Company's internal control systems. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.8.6 As an integral part of the system of internal controls, it is 
recommended that the company sets up an independent internal audit function 
("Internal Audit") which reports directly to the Audit Committee. At least once 
annually, it should prepare a report on the operation of risk management, 
internal control mechanisms and governance functions. In its report on the 
operation of internal controls, the Internal Audit should provide information on 
deficiencies that may have a significant effect on the performance of the 
company. 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
The Company does not have an internal audit department. All the Company's 
management and administration functions are delegated to independent third 
parties and it is therefore felt there is no need for the Company to have an 
internal audit facility. However, this matter is reviewed periodically. 
 
 
 
 
The Internal Audit reported at least once to the Audit Committee on the 
operation of risk management, internal control mechanisms and corporate 
governance functions. 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    The Company does not have an internal audit department for the reasons set 
out above. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.8.7 On the basis of authorisation by the Managing Body or the Supervisory 
Board, the Audit Committee should assign to the Internal Audit the execution of 
the monitoring activity specified in the internal audit strategy, the annual 
plan, and the internal audit charter and manual. Within this framework, it 
should provide unlimited access to all necessary information, documents, data 
and persons involved in the activity or process under review. To maintain his 
independence, the head of the Internal Audit should report directly to the 
Managing Body or the Supervisory Board (in the case of a unitary board 
structure, to the Audit Committee). 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    The Company does not have an internal audit department for the reasons set 
out above. 
 
 
 
 
As an organisation, the Internal Audit function is independent from the 
executive management. 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    The Company does not have an internal audit department for the reasons set 
out above, nor is there any executive management. 
 
 
R 2.8.8 On the basis of the anticipated financial, operational, regulatory and 
other risks of the company, and with the involvement of the executive 
management, the head of the Internal Audit prepares an internal control 
schedule, which, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, is approved by 
the Managing Body or the Supervisory Board. 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    The Company does not have an internal audit department for the reasons set 
out above. 
 
 
 
 
R 2.8.9 The Managing Body should regularly review the reports on the operation 
of internal controls (prepared by the executive management or the Internal 
Audit), on the basis of which - as part of the report on corporate governance - 
it prepares an annual evaluation for shareholders. The Managing Body should 
establish procedures regulating the processing and acceptance of reports and the 
preparation of its annual report on the operation of the system of internal 
controls. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
 
 
     The Managing Body developed its procedures regarding the receipt, 
processing of reports on the operation of internal controls, and the preparation 
of its own report. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
 
 
R 2.8.11 If the Managing Body detects an important deficiency or flaw in the 
system of internal controls, it should attempt to eliminate the deficiency. The 
Managing Body should identify the cause of the flaw or deficiency, and the 
situation which brought about the problem; it should review and re-evaluate the 
executive management or the Internal Audit's (planning, operational and 
continuous monitoring) activity regarding the systems of internal controls. 
    Yes (Complies) 
 
 
 
 
R 2.9.2In the event that the company or its management give an assignment to the 
company's auditor to provide other professional services, the Managing Body, the 
Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee should be notified in all cases when 
the fee for the services, the type of the service or any other circumstance may 
result in significant additional expenses for the shareholders or may cause a 
conflict of interest, or affect normal business practices significantly in any 
other way. 
    No (Please explain) 
    Complies in all respects except that there is no Supervisory Board, as the 
Company is controlled by the One-Tier System. 
 
 
R 2.9.3If the auditor or an external advisor is assigned to audit an event that 
has significant bearing on the company's operations, the Managing Body should 
inform the Supervisory Board (Audit Committee) and shareholders about the event 
and the type of assignment given to such external auditor. The Managing Body 
should pre-determine in its resolutions what circumstances constitute 
'significant bearing'. 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    There is no Supervisory Board, as the Company is controlled by the One-Tier 
System. 
 
 
 
 
     The Managing Body pre-determined in a resolution what circumstances 
constitute "significant bearing". 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    No such assignments are ordinarily given to the external auditor. Where such 
assignment was to be given, it would be the subject of a separate Letter of 
Engagement, which Letter of Engagement would be considered by the Managing Body 
in consultation with its advisors before being executed. 
 
 
 
 
R 3.1.6On its website, the company should publish the tasks delegated to the

The members of the Managing Body consider new appointments although there is no 
separate nomination committee. The Managing Body or other appropriate persons

changes with the aim that the replacement of a Managing Body member leaving due

continuing uninterrupted. The Nomination Committee examines the practice of the 
Managing Body for selecting and appointing members of the executive management,

meeting, the Managing Body) should set up a Remuneration Committee from the 
members of the Managing Body, which assists in outlining the principles of the 
remuneration of the members of the Managing Body, the Supervisory Board and the 
executive management.

the members of the executive management. (2005/162/EC App. I. 3.2.) 
    No (Please explain)

     The remuneration of the Managing Body was approved by the general meeting 
based on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee.

are borne by a third party, it is not considered necessary for shareholders to 
be consulted on the remuneration of the Managing Body.

reimbursement and other benefits in the remuneration system. 
    No (Please explain)

R 3.5.1When setting up the committees, the Managing Body may decide that the 
duties of the Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee will be 
executed by one (merged board) committee. In this case, an explanation should be 
given as to the causes of the decision, and it should be indicated how, 
according to the Managing Body, the committees, with a reduced number of 
members, will be able to achieve the general goals of two (remuneration and 
nomination) committees. (2005/162/EC 7.1.) 
    No (Please explain) 
 
 
    The Company has no Remuneration Committee nor Nomination Committee.

R 4.1.3 The company's disclosure guidelines (basic principles and procedures 
relating to disclosures) should ensure that information intended for disclosure
