consideration of the above matters, were duly passed by shareholders.
Each Ordinary Share was then converted into C Shares at a rate of 0.82701277

Shares. The 26,657,715 C Shares then in issue were redesignated as new Ordinary
Shares. The balance of 1,947,957 Ordinary Shares arising from the conversion
were converted into deferred shares and bought back by the Company for an
aggregate price of one penny, and cancelled by the Company.
At 10 September 2010 the net asset value of the enlarged share class was £
24,228,910 and the number of new Ordinary Shares in issue 26,657,715, giving a
net asset value of 90.89p per new Ordinary Share.

In July, Digico Europe made a further partial repayment of loan stock of £
40,966 plus a premium of £3,051 for the Ordinary Share Fund and the C Share

Monsal secured a strategic investment of £4 million from Four Winds Capital in
exchange for an equity stake in the business and an additional £10 million made
available to establish a new business. This investment increased the value of
the Company's investment in Monsal by £585,343 from the valuation held by the
