Notes To The Unaudited Financial Information on pages 2 and 3
1 The financial information for the interim period ended 31 August 2000 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 to be adopted in the company's statutory accounts for
the period ending 28 February 2001.
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 from the launch of the fund.
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.
