its first Interim Management Statement in accordance with DTR 4.3 of the FSA
Handbook.
Material Transactions
Oryx is pleased to report that the Fund has made further progress during the
three month period to the end of June 2007, assisted by the reverse acquisition
of DM Technical Services Limited by Castle Acquisitions Plc (now renamed Castle
Support Services plc).
There were no other material transactions during the quarter ended 30 June 2007.
Material Events

General
Current market conditions are extremely volatile but the Fund has no exposure to
financials and less than 2% of assets in property.
The Board is actively pursuing the conversion of the C shares of 50 pence each
in the capital of the Company, issued to Baltimore shareholders as consideration
for their Baltimore shares, into ordinary shares of 50 pence each in the capital
of the Company, and it is anticipated that this will be completed in the short
term and in any event by 31 December 2007.
A number of interesting opportunities are presenting themselves and the Board
remain optimistic for the future.
