in a diversified portfolio of private equity funds and, occasionally, directly
in private companies.

During the quarter ended 31st March 2011 PIP received distributions from
private equity assets of £45.3m and invested £18.2m through calls to underlying
private equity funds. Overall net cash inflow from investments amounted to

In addition, at 31st March 2011 the Company's $117.4m US dollar and €85.9m Euro
bank loan facilities were completely undrawn. The Company also had available
£150m of standby commitments to subscribe for redeemable shares. It should be
noted that, if called, £100.5m of the proceeds from a redeemable share issue
under the standby commitments would be needed to repay outstanding unsecured
