Material Events and Transactions
During the period from 1 January 2012 to 17 May 2012, the Company did not issue or buy back shares.

The Company continues to offer a Dividend Reinvestment Scheme to existing shareholders.  Details of this Scheme can be found at www.albion-ventures.co.uk/Our Funds/Kings Arms Yard PLC.

There have been no further significant events or transactions that the Board is aware of which would have a material impact on the financial position of the Company between 1 January 2012 to 17 May 2012. However, the Board notes that it is in advanced discussions to sell one of its holdings.  Since there is no certainty the sale will complete, no change has been made to the valuation at this stage.  However, if the transaction were to take place, and depending on any performance criteria required under the relevant acquisition agreement, then it may result in a material uplift in the net asset value. 

In view of the above, the Board considers that the Company is currently unable to purchase any of its own shares in the market.
