NEW INVESTMENTS The Company made one further investment of £307,071 into The Plastic Surgeon Holdings Limited, which provides snagging and finishing services to domestic and commercial properties. DIVESTMENTS There were several disposals by the Company, the most notable being as a result of a recapitalisation at HWA Limited, which realised proceeds of £2,381,880 and a profit of £2,347,328. Arising from this recapitalisation, the Company also increased its equity interest in HWA Ltd from 17% to 21%. In addition, a further receipt of £79,803 was received in respect of the Company's former investment in Secure Mail Services Limited, where further deferred consideration became payable to the Company, all of which is an additional realised gain. Finally, VSI Limited made a partial loan repayment of £157,583, at a premium of £14,326. COMMENTS ON FALL IN NET ASSET VALUE Net asset value per Ordinary share has fallen by 8.5% over the quarter. This decrease can be attributed mainly to a reduction in the price-earnings ratios of directly comparable quoted companies. However, the Board has also made significant reductions to the valuations of two investments where development prospects have deteriorated. S SHARE FUND The Company raised net funds of £11,171,285 from the issue of 11,806,467 S 1p shares. The net asset value was 94.52 pence per S 1p share, including current year income of 0.3 of a penny per share. This Fund also made its first qualifying investment, of £99,011 into The Plastic Surgeon Holdings Limited.
