This Statement has been prepared solely to provide additional information in order to meet the relevant requirements of the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, and should not be relied on by Shareholders, or any other party, for any other purpose.

1.	Financial highlights

·      Net asset value (NAV)¹ of 82.22p per share at 31 August 2014, after payment of the interim dividend, compared to 84.20p per share at 31 May 2014;

·      Interim dividend of 2.00p per share in respect of the year ending 30 November 2014, paid on 29 August 2014.

¹The NAV is unaudited and reflects the closing bid price of quoted securities at 31 August 2014. Unlisted companies are normally valued on a six-monthly basis and the NAV incorporates the Directors' valuation of unlisted investments as at 31 May 2014, adjusted for subsequent events where appropriate.

²NAV total return is the sum of NAV per share and dividends paid per share since launch.

During the quarter ended 31 August 2014, a total of £1,520,752 was invested in six unlisted companies. In the same period, full or partial disposals from five unlisted company investments generated aggregate proceeds of £1,324,801 against a cost of £1,268,270; disposals of two quoted investments generated aggregate proceeds of £33,547; and proceeds of £1,000,000 were realised from the sale of UK Government Securities.
