Notes to the Unaudited Financial Information
1 The financial information for each of the interim periods ended 31 August 2006 and 31 August 2005 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 companys statutory accounts for the year ended 28 February
2006. The financial information for the year ended 28 February 2006 has been extracted from the companys 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 Listed 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 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 Companys
Registered Office.
