Notes:
1. Basis of preparation.
The preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards up to and including FRS 19 and with the Statement of
Recommended Practice 'Financial statements of investment trust companies' and
under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of
investments. The principal accounting policies have remained unchanged from
those set out in the company's 2001 financial statements.
2. Return per Ordinary Share
The calculation of revenue return per share is based on the net deficit for the
financial period of £54,000 (2001: profit of £70,000) divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares of 6,000,000 (2001: 5,954,117) in issue during
the period.
The calculation of capital return per share is based on the net capital return
for the financial period of £2,637,000 (2001: £117,000) divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares of 6,000,000 (2001: 5,954,117) in issue during
the period.
