Investment Adviser's quarterly commentary on the portfolio

Over the quarter to 30 June 2014, NAV per share declined by 0.88%.  Over the
2014 fiscal year, NAV per share rose by 20.8% or 21.11% including the dividend
paid in August 2013.  The Fund's average cash position over the fiscal year has
been 13.7%, implying a return on the investment portfolio of 25.72% per annum. 

The top three contributors to NAV growth over the quarter to 30 June 2014 were
Hurricane Energy plc (+2%), NBNK Investments plc (+1.6%) and Sutton Harbour
Holdings plc (+1.4%).  The three main detractors have been Thorntons plc
(-2.1%), Leaf Clean Energy Company (-1.6%) and Johnston Press plc (-1.4%). 

Over the quarter to 30 June 2014, the Fund disclosed holdings in NBNK
Investments plc, Johnston Press plc and Juridica Investments Ltd. 

During the quarter, the Fund participated in Johnston Press plc's refinancing
exercise. Positions exited, included Connect Group plc (previously known as
Smiths News plc) and Norcros plc, realising profits of £2.7m and £3.9m
respectively. 

Sutton Harbour Holdings plc ("Sutton Harbour")

During the quarter, Sutton Harbour reported a 5.2% increase in NAV to 40p per
share.

The Fund is confident in the leadership of the new Chairman, Graham Miller, who
is addressing the key issue of asset efficiency.

Over the quarter, Sutton Harbour's share price increased by 24%.

Thorntons plc ("Thorntons")

The Fund is now the largest shareholder in Thorntons and retains the view that
the company's operating margins have the potential to increase very
significantly and that current market estimates fail to reflect this. 
Moreover, international sales can provide an additional channel for top-line
growth as the business continues to benefit from its brand recognition.  The
Fund believes that the profit trajectory will enable the company to make
dividend distributions as free cash flow generation increases.

Over the quarter, Thorntons' share price was hit by disappointing third quarter
trading. However, the full year trading statement released on 3 July 2014
reported fourth quarter double digit revenue growth in UK commercial. As a
result, the share price recovered by 9 % following the announcement.   

Over the quarter, the share price of Thorntons declined by 28.3%.

NBNK Investments plc (`NBNK')

Over the quarter, the Fund increased its stake in NBNK to 25.11%. The Fund has
acquired more than 25% of the issued share capital of NBNK at 15% below the
value of NBNK's reported net cash.

In 2011, NBNK competed against the Co-op to acquire 631 Lloyds TSB and
Cheltenham & Gloucester branches, in earlier rounds.  However, when the Co-op
failed to complete, Lloyds went ahead with plans to float the business,
culminating in the recent IPO.  Since failing to buy the branches, or find
another banking business to acquire, NBNK's operations have been scaled back
and costs reduced to a minimum.   
  

The Fund has engaged with the current board of NBNK and with founding director
Lord Levene. The Fund is fully supportive of the board.

Over the quarter, NBNK's share price increased by 43.8%.

AER Lingus Group plc ("AER Lingus")

The Expert Panel investigating a resolution of the industrial relations issues
connected to the Irish Airlines pension fund put forward a proposal to address
the fund's deficit. This was subsequently accepted by the company. 

Over the quarter, trading has been negatively affected by the threat of strike
action. Whilst the Expert Panel proposal implies a cost higher than
anticipated, in our view it is a step forward towards a final resolution of
this labour unrest.   

Resolution of the above, in addition to clarity surrounding pressure on Ryanair
to dispose of its 29.8% stake, should prove near term catalysts for realising
shareholder value.

The company retains €420 million of net cash.  Its market capitalisation is €
775 million.
 

The share price of AER Lingus declined by 11.8% over the quarter.

API Group plc ("API")

During the quarter, API announced its full year results, demonstrating further
strengthening of the company's financial position.  API closed the fiscal year
with year on year revenue growth of 2% and a net cash position for the first
time in fifteen years (2013: net debt of £2.6m).  The company proposed a final
dividend of 1.3p per share, giving a total of 2p for the full year.  Strong
performances have been maintained from Laminates and Foils Europe and
restructuring of UK foils has been successfully completed. 

The Fund remains supportive of management's actions and is continuing its
engagement with the board over its composition and over the quantum of the
dividend.

Over the quarter, API's share price declined by 2%. 

Leaf Clean Energy Company ("Leaf")

Mark Lerdal, the Executive Chairman proposed by the Fund, has carried out his
first review of Leaf Clean's portfolio.  As a result, in June, Leaf Clean
announced that MaxWest would not receive additional funding and that its value
would be written down to nil. Having met with the board of MaxWest as part of
our due diligence, we were unsurprised at this outcome. However, we remain
confident in the realisable value of several of Leaf's assets, including
Invenergy.  Moreover, we note the new board's decisiveness and are confident in
its ability to realise Leaf's investments in an orderly manner and return all
proceeds to shareholders.

Over the quarter, Leaf's share price declined by 29.2%.

Hurricane Energy plc ("Hurricane")

On 25 June 2014, Hurricane announced that it had successfully completed the
testing phase of its key horizontal appraisal well in the Lancaster fractured
basement oil discovery West of Shetland.  The flow rate far exceeded
expectations and should significantly de-risk the company's acreage across this
basin. 

Production tests achieved a sustainable oil flow rate of 9,800 stock tank
barrels of oil per day, the established oil flow rate being constrained by the
capacity of the surface test equipment. The Lancaster Field, which is 100%
owned by Hurricane, has estimated 2C Contingent Resources of 207 million
barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe).

Hurricane's share price increased by 131% over the quarter.       

Transactions in Shares

Over the quarter, the Fund bought back 1,440,000 shares at an average price of
149.09p as part of its previously announced buyback policy. 

On 5 June 2014, the Fund sold an aggregate of 1,151,656 Treasury shares at a
price of 158p per share, which equated approximately to the then net asset
value of the Fund per share, in consideration for the acquisition of 5,703,912
ordinary shares in NBNK Investments PLC ("NBNK"), representing 10.61% of the
issued share capital of NBNK.

Cash Resources

The Fund is currently almost fully invested as a result of additional
investments in existing holdings and a number of new investments in positions
with strong activist potential. 

Dividend

The board has declared an interim dividend of 0.5p per ordinary share in
respect of the year ended 30 June 2014. The dividend will be paid on 15 August
2014 to shareholders on the register (the record date) on 18 July 2014. The
shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 16 July 2014.
