Interim Management Statement

Date: 18th May 2012 On behalf of: London Finance & Investment Group P.L.C ("Lonfin" or "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. Enquiries to: London Finance & Investment GroupP.L.C.
