1. Financial highlights
• Net Asset Value* ('NAV') of 81.1p at 31 May 2007 which, although unchanged
from the NAV at 28 February 2007, represents an increase of 4.9% over the
three month period when the 4p per share dividend paid on 23 March is taken
into account.
• Final dividend of 2.8p per share approved for payment on 27 July 2007.
*The NAV is unaudited and reflects the closing bid price of quoted securities at
31 May 2007. Unlisted companies are valued on a six monthly basis and the NAV
incorporates the Directors' valuation of unlisted investments as at 28 February
2007.
2. Investments and Disposals
During the quarter ended 31 May 2007, investments totalling £4,011,000 were made
in 14 unlisted or AIM quoted companies.
During the same period, a combination of partial and complete disposals of 16
unlisted or AIM quoted investments generated aggregate proceeds of £2,214,000
against cost of £757,000.
