Commenting on the markets, Mike Prentis and Richard Plackett, representing the
Investment Manager noted:

During July the Company's NAV per share rose by 7.2% and the benchmark index
rose by 6.6% whilst the FTSE 100 Index rose by 6.5%; all figures on a cum
income basis. Markets rebounded from the weaker tone experienced in June as
confidence grew that the US Federal Reserve is unlikely to taper bond purchases
until it is satisfied that economic growth is clearly sustainable. It is
also likely that markets took some comfort from the fact that the Chinese
Government appeared committed to an economic growth rate of approximately 7%.

The relative contribution from the long only portfolio stock selection was
positive. Contributions from the long only portfolio sector allocation and the
CFD portfolio were also slightly positive.

No one stock contributed to, or detracted from, relative performance by more
than 20 basis points during the month. On the positive side the best
contributors were Workspace, LSL Property Services and Blinkx. On the negative
side the largest contributors were ITE Group and Consort Medical, although
newsflow from these companies remained positive during the month. 

Activity during the month was limited. We added small holdings in Speedy Hire
and Grainger, both companies have been owned before, and both are largely
focused on the UK economy.
