Notes to the Unaudited Financial Information
1 The financial information for each of the interim periods ended 31 August 2003 and 31 August 2002 is unaudited and
does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 1985. It has been prepared using
accounting policies consistent with those set out in the company's statutory accounts for the year ending 28 February
2003. The financial information for the year ended 28 February 2003 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.
2 The 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.
3 The unrealised depreciation or appreciation on the valuation of investments and the gains and losses arising on the
disposal of investments are dealt with in the capital reserve.
4 Copies of the Interim Statement are being sent to shareholders and further copies can be obtained from the Company's
Registered Office.
