Interim Results

Artemis Alpha Trust PLC 21 December 2005 ARTEMIS ALPHA TRUST PLC Preliminary Unaudited Results for the six months ended 31st October 2005 Chairman's Statement Performance Over the six months to 31st October 2005 your Company's basic net asset value fell by 5.5% (diluted down 5.0%) which compared to a rise in the capital value of the benchmark index, the FTSE All Share, of 11.2%. Whilst it is always disappointing to report a period of underperformance, the objective of the Company is to achieve above average rates of return over the longer term. This has been achieved, with the net asset value rising by some 151.4% since May 2003 when Artemis Investment Management was appointed Manager. This compares with a rise in the benchmark of 35.3% over the same period. Dividends Your Board has declared a maintained first interim dividend of 1.0 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 30th April 2006. This dividend will be paid on 3rd February 2006 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 6th January 2006. It is intended that any increase in total dividends for the year to 30th April 2006 will be reflected in the second dividend for the year. Accounting Standards Shareholders will be aware that many UK listed companies are now adopting International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') for the preparation of their financial statements. Your Company has adopted IFRS for the first time in this accounting period and the interim financial statements and related notes reflect the requirements of these new standards. The two main changes in the Company's financial statements are, firstly, the change in the basis of valuing the listed investments, which is now done using bid prices as opposed to mid prices, and secondly, the timing of recognition of dividends, which will now be done when the dividend is paid. Previously dividends were included on an accrual basis. Accordingly, the first interim dividend cost of Â£333,000 has not been deducted from the Company's net assets at 31st October 2005. Further information on these new standards is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment Plan The Investment Plan is now fully operational and your Board considers that it provides shareholders and new investors with a cost effective way to acquire the Company's shares. Documentation for the Investment Plan is available on the Manager's website (www.artemisonline.co.uk/pdf/brochures/ alphatrustinvestmentplan.pdf) or by contacting the Manager on 0800 092 2051. Manager Warrants As the Board indicated previously, it undertook to review the level of Manager Warrants from time to time to ensure that the Manager was being incentivised fairly in light of the assets being managed. Having recently reviewed the position, the Board has concluded that it is now appropriate to offer further Manager Warrants to Artemis. The issue of additional Manager Warrants will be subject to shareholder approval and you will find enclosed with the Interim Report, a Chairman's letter setting out more fully the background to the proposal, together with the notice convening an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company. Outlook The continuing high price of oil and the affect this may have on inflation, coupled with a general slowdown in consumer spending, are a concern for stockmarkets. However, there remains a significant amount of institutional money waiting to be invested and this may provide a certain level of support for equities. Your Board believes that your Company's wide investment policy and the Manager's ability to identify companies and sectors that offer the prospect of good returns will continue to produce positive returns for shareholders over the longer term. Subsequent event In March this year, your Company acquired a 1.9% holding in the Manager, Artemis Investment Management. Following a recent third party transaction in the underlying shares of Artemis, in which Artemis Alpha Trust reduced its holding, the Board has revalued the remaining shares (with effect from close of business yesterday), on the basis of an appropriate discount to the transaction price. The combined effect of the disposal and revaluation has been to add 14 pence to the Company's basic net asset value per Ordinary share. As at close of business on 20th December 2005 the basic net asset value per Ordinary share was 205.4 pence (diluted: 191.0 pence). Further details will be contained in the Annual Report & Accounts.

Accounting Policies The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee of the IASB (IFRIC). These are the Group's first financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and IFRS1, First Time Adoption, has been applied. Previously the financial statements were prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK GAAP). UK GAAP differs in certain respects from IFRS. In preparing the financial statements under IFRS, the Directors have amended certain accounting and valuation methods applied under UK GAAP. Reconciliations concerning the transition to IFRS are shown in note 2. (a) Basis of Preparation EU law requires that the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 April 2006 be prepared in accordance with accounting standards adopted for use in the EU. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRS in issue that either are adopted by the EU and effective (or available for early adoption) or are expected to be adopted and effective (or available for early adoption) at 30 April 2006. The financial statements are prepared on an historical cost basis, except for the measurement at fair value of investments and derivative instruments. (b) Investments Investments are all held at fair value through profit or loss. Listed investments are measured initially at cost, and are recognised at trade date. For financial assets acquired, the cost is the fair value of the consideration. Subsequent to initial recognition, all listed investments are measured at their quoted bid prices without deduction for the estimated future selling costs. Unlisted investments are valued by the directors using primary valuation methodologies such as earnings multiples, recent transactions and net assets. Where fair value cannot reliably be measured the investment will be carried at the previous reporting date value unless there is evidence that the investment has since been impaired. In such cases the value will be reduced to reflect the estimated extent of impairment. Assets are derecognised at the trade date of the disposal. Proceeds will be measured at fair value which will be regarded as the proceeds of sale less any transaction costs. (c) Movements in Fair Value Changes in the fair value of all held-at-fair-value assets are taken to the Consolidated Income Statement. On disposal, realised gains and losses are also recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. (d) Income Dividends receivable on equity shares are treated as revenue for the year on an ex-dividend basis. Where no ex-dividend date is available dividends receivable on or before the year end are treated as revenue for the year. Provision is made for any dividends not expected to be received. Income from fixed interest securities is recognised on an effective yield basis. Interest receivable from cash and short term deposits and interest payable is recognised on an accruals basis. (e) Expenses All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses have been charged to the revenue column in the Consolidated Income Statement except as follows: â€¢ expenses which are incidental to the acquisition or disposal of an investment are treated as capital. â€¢ expenses are treated as capital where a connection with the maintenance or enhancement of the value of the investments can be demonstrated. As a result management fees and finance costs are allocated on the basis of 10% to revenue and 90% to capital. (f) Taxation Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all temporary differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date, where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. This is subject to deferred tax assets only being recognised if it is considered more likely than not that there will be suitable profits from which the future reversal of the temporary differences can be deducted. (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash comprises current deposits and overdrafts with banks. These are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purpose. (h) Dividends Payable Dividends are recognised from the date on which they are irrevocably committed to payment. (i) Foreign Currency Translation Transactions involving foreign currencies are converted at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Sterling at the rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. 2. Transition to IFRS Reconciliation a) Reconciliation of Equity at 31st October 2004 At 1st May 2004 the Company adopted International Financial Reporting Standards. In accordance with IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards the following are reconciliations of the figures previously reported under the applicable UK Accounting Standards.

Non-current asset investments are all classified as held-at-fair-value under IFRS and are carried at bid prices which equates to their fair value. They were previously carried at mid-market value. The resultant difference is included in Retained earnings. ii. Current asset investments are classified as held at fair value under IFRS and are carried at bid prices which equates to their fair value. They were previously carried at the lower of cost or mid-market value. The resultant difference is included in retained earnings. iii. No provision has been made for the dividends relating to the period ends as these were not declared until after the balance sheet date. Under IFRS the dividend is not recognised until paid. This is therefore added to retained earnings. iv. Under IFRS, there is no differentiation between 'capital' and 'revenue gains /losses'. The previous headings of 'Capital reserve - realised' and 'Capital reserve-unrealised' are now included under the heading Retained earnings. v. Bank interest paid is now shown under operating activities rather than servicing of finance. vi. Equity dividends paid are now disclosed under financing. 3. Earnings per Ordinary Share and Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share 31st October 31st October 30th April 2005 2004 2005 Net revenue attributable to Ordinary shareholders Â£510,000 Â£581,000* Â£1,080,000* Net capital (losses)/gains attributable to Ordinary shareholders Â£(3,909,000) Â£4,729,000* Â£18,616,000* Equity shareholders funds Â£61,200,000 Â£45,347,000* Â£64,935,000* The weighted average number of Ordinary shares in issue during each period, on which the return per Ordinary share was calculated, was: 33,320,799 30,593,452 30,914,756 The actual number of Ordinary shares in issue at the end of the period on which the net asset value was calculated, was: 33,320,799 30,593,452 33,320,799 Revenue earnings per Ordinary share 1.53p 1.90p* 3.49p* Capital earnings per Ordinary share (11.73p) 15.46p* 60.22p* ---------- ---------- ---------- Total earnings per Ordinary share (10.20p) 17.36p* 63.71p* ---------- ---------- ---------- Net asset value per Ordinary share 183.67p 148.22p* 194.88p* Revenue earnings per share (diluted) 1.42p 1.84p* 3.30p* Capital earnings per share (diluted) (10.91p) 14.96p* 56.83p* ---------- ---------- ---------- Total earnings per share (diluted) (9.49p) 16.80p* 60.13p* ---------- ---------- ---------- Asset value per share (diluted) 172.62p 142.26p* 182.09p* ---------- ---------- ---------- * Restated see note 2. The calculation of the fully diluted revenue and capital returns per Ordinary share are carried out in accordance with International Accounting Standard 33 'Earnings per Share.' For the purposes of calculating the diluted revenue and capital returns per Ordinary share, the number of Ordinary shares is the weighted average used in the basic calculation plus the number of Ordinary shares deemed to be issued for no consideration on exercise of all Manager Warrants by reference to the average share price of the Ordinary shares during the period. The calculation indicates that the exercise of Manager Warrants would result in an increase in the weighted average of Ordinary shares of 2,494,670 (31st October 2004: 1,024,458; 30th April 2005: 1,844,066). The diluted net asset value per Ordinary share has been calculated on the assumption that the warrants of 6,118,689 (31st October 2004: 6,118,689, 30th April 2005: 6,118,689) were exercised on the first day of the financial period resulting in a total of 39,439,488 Ordinary shares (31st October 2004: 36,712,141, 30th April 2005: 39,439,488). 4. Comparative Information The above financial information does not constitute statutory financial statements as defined in Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. Information for the year ended 30th April 2005 has been extracted from the audited financial statements for the year ended 30th April 2005 and restated to comply with IFRS. These financial statements contained an unqualified auditor's report, have been lodged with the Registrar of Companies and did not contain a statement required under Section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. 5.
