"Company")
London Finance & Investment Group P.L.C.
Interim Management Statement
Lonfin today reports on its performance to date.
Since the 31st December 2011, our net assets per share, including investments
at market value, increased by 3.8% from 32.7p to 33.93p at 30th April 2012. The
Company's General Portfolio of equities increased in value by 6.4% compared to
an increase in the Eurofirst 300 index of 5.0%. The value of our Strategic
Investments: Western Selection P.L.C., Finsbury Food Group plc and MWB Group
Holdings Plc increased marginally in the period with a 10.5% rise in the value
of our holding in Western Selection P.L.C. offset by falls in the other two
holdings.
Following the disposal of the London investment property earlier this year, we
have recently started to invest the sale proceeds in blue chip stocks held in
our General Portfolio. This will be a gradual process as the aim is to buy the
shares at what the Board considers to be good value.
The Board remains cautious about the remainder of the Company's financial year
given the continuing uncertainty in the Euro-zone.
