This Report has been issued on behalf of Herald Investment Trust plc, and has
been approved by Herald Investment Management Limited, its investment manager.
Herald Investment Management Limited is regulated by IMRO. You should remember
that past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future. Markets and
currency movements may cause the value of shares, and the income from them, to
fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invested when you
decide to sell your shares. Warrants often involve a high degree of gearing so
that a relatively small movement in the price of the security to which the
warrants relate may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavourable
as well as favourable, in the price of the warrants. 

These figures are not audited.
