3  1        The financial information for each of the interim periods ended 31 August 2010 and 31 August 2009 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those set out in the company's statutory accounts for the year ended 28 February 2010. The financial information for the year ended 28 February 2010 has been extracted from the company's statutory accounts for that period which contained an unqualified audit report and which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.  2The calculation of earnings per share for the period is based on the return attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.  3Listed investments are stated at market value based upon middle market prices at the accounting period end.  The unrealised depreciation or appreciation on the valuation of investments are dealt with in the revaluation reserve.  4Copies of the Interim Statement are being sent to shareholders and further copies can be obtained from the Company's Registered Office.
