                       Financial Results for the Quarter

                             ended 31 December 2006


Queen's Walk Investment Limited ('Queen's Walk') is a Guernsey-incorporated
investment company listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Company's investment
objective is to preserve capital and to provide stable returns to shareholders
in the form of quarterly dividends. To achieve this, Queen's Walk invests
primarily in a diversified portfolio of subordinated tranches of asset backed
securities, including the unrated 'equity' or 'first loss' residual income
positions typically retained by the banks or other financial institutions which
have originated the loan assets that collateralise a securitisation transaction.
The Company makes such investments where its investment manager, Cheyne Capital
Management (UK) LLP ('Cheyne Capital'), considers the coupon or cashflows from
the investment to be attractive relative to the credit exposure of the
underlying asset collateral. For more information regarding Queen's Walk, please

Highlights

   •Queen's Walk generated distributable net profit of €9.5 million and
    earnings per ordinary share of €0.23 for the quarter
   •An interim quarterly dividend of €0.23 per share has been declared,
    resulting in a cumulative interim dividend of €0.75 for the financial year
    to date
   •Although the majority of the Company's investments continued to perform
    better than or in line with expectations, the performance of certain UK
    assets led to an adjustment to current prepayment and default assumptions.
    The net effect of all adjustments was a reduction of the Company's asset
    portfolio and a charge to income of €2.7 million for the quarter
   •The Company's diversified investment portfolio totals €565.0 million as
    at 31 December 2006, with net indebtedness of €160.8 million, representing
    approximately 28.5% of the investment portfolio
   •NAV per share has declined marginally to €9.90 from €9.93 per share as at
    30 September 2006
   •The weighted average yield of new assets added to the Company's
    investment portfolio was 13.5% in local currency terms. After taking both
    new assets and valuation adjustments into account, the weighted average
    yield for the investment portfolio as a whole decreased slightly to 12.9%
    from 13.1% as at 30 September 2006
   •The Company added five new assets to its investment portfolio in the
    quarter and Cheyne Capital continues to evaluate new investment
    opportunities
   •The Directors will seek the requisite shareholder authorities to enable
    the Company to buy back shares up to 9.99% of its existing share capital
    without requiring an offer to be made for the Company's shares by the
    'concert party'

Company Performance

In accordance with the Investment Manager's valuation methodology, adjustments
were made to default and prepayments assumptions in respect of the quarter ended
31 December 2006. Generally, the curves used to value the assets were adjusted
to reflect higher default rates in the UK, stable default rates in Europe and
the US, and generally lower prepayment rates globally.


While the Investment Manager's initial changes to asset valuations in the course
of the quarter had a relatively muted impact on income and NAV, performance data
subsequently received in respect of certain UK assets reflected a higher than
expected upturn in prepayment rates that was not offset by an increase in income
from prepayment charges. While prepayment rates appear to be slowing generally
in the UK, this upturn was related to borrowers whose mortgage loans had
recently reverted from a discounted (or 'teaser') mortgage interest rate to a
full mortgage interest rate. This performance data led the Investment Manager to
further adjust its valuations in respect of these assets. The net effect of
these and all other adjustments to asset valuations was a reduction of the
Company's investment portfolio and a charge to income in the quarter of €2.7
million. The Company issued a press release on 20 February 2007 to announce this
charge to income and to adjust its dividend targets.


As a result of the charge taken to income in the quarter, the Company's total
revenues for the quarter declined by 7.6% to €14.5 million. Net profit for the
quarter was €9.5 million, a decrease of 9.9% on the previous quarter. This net
profit translates into distributable earnings of €0.23 per share.


The Company's investment portfolio as at 31 December 2006 (including amounts
receivable under total return swap agreements but excluding cash) totalled €565
million, compared to €531 million as at 30 September 2006. The Company's net
indebtedness as at 31 December 2006 (including amounts payable under total
return swaps and net of cash) totalled €160.8 million, compared to €126.1
million as at 30 September 2006. In percentage terms, leverage on the portfolio
at the end of the quarter was 28.5%, compared to 23.7% as at 30 September 2006.
The weighted average leverage ratio during the quarter was 26.5%.


Five assets were added to the Company's portfolio in the quarter. As highlighted
at the end of the previous quarter, the Company has sought to increase portfolio
exposure to the Small-and-Medium Enterprise (SME) sector. Over the quarter ended
31 December 2006, SME residual positions totalling approximately €39.4 million
were added to the portfolio. Consequently, the Company's exposure to the SME
sector has increased from approximately 4% to 9.3% of the portfolio. These
acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the redemption of certain
investments, principal repayments and external financing.


The weighted average yield of the Company's investment portfolio in local
currency terms decreased slightly to 12.9% from 13.1% as at 30 September 2006.
This reduction is due to a decrease in the overall portfolio yield that resulted
from revising the individual booking yields for the assets in the portfolio to
take account of changes to assumptions. The reduction was partially offset by
the addition of new assets in the quarter, including SME residual positions. The
weighted average yield of assets added during the quarter was 13.5% in local
currency terms.


Portfolio Overview

The Company's investment portfolio as at 31 December 2006 is comprised of 28
investments in total. While the portfolio remains well diversified both
geographically and by asset class, it continues to be backed predominantly by
residential mortgages - the largest European asset class. As at 31 December
2006, the portfolio was comprised of: 86% RMBS (87% as at 30 September 2006); 9%
(SME) (4%); and 5% ABS CDO (9%). The geographic breakdown of the portfolio as at
31 December 2006 relative to the portfolio as at 30 September 2006 (net of
foreign exchange movements) is set out in the tables that follow.

Buy Back of Company Shares

The Directors are mindful of the need to manage the share capital of the Company
for the benefit of all shareholders and have decided that they wish to have in
place all necessary authorities to enable a managed programme of share buybacks
of up to 9.99% of the issued share capital of the Company to commence as soon as
practicable.


On listing, the Directors were given authority to purchase the Company's own
shares up to a maximum of 9.99% of the Company's share capital on completion of
the initial public offering. However, as disclosed in the Company's prospectus,
Cheyne ABS Opportunities Fund LP holds 44.1% of the Company's shares and parties
deemed by the City Code on Takeover and Mergers (the 'Code') to be acting in
concert with it (together the 'Concert Party') hold a further 1.7% of the
Company's shares. If the Company were to repurchase shares such that the Concert
Party's percentage holding were to increase, the Concert Party would, unless the
Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the 'Panel') agreed otherwise, be required by
the Code to make an offer for all the shares in the Company not held by it.
Following consultation with the Panel, the Company intends, at the earliest
practicable opportunity, to seek the approval of shareholders, in accordance
with the 'whitewash' procedures in the Code to effect repurchases of shares in
circumstances where as a result of such repurchases the holdings of the Concert
Party and of Cheyne ABS Opportunities Fund LP may increase.



Outlook

While the Company has limited exposure to US assets (which account for
approximately 12% of the Company's investment portfolio as at 31 December 2006)
and while those assets have performed broadly in line with expectations, recent
movements in the US ABS market indicate that a negative sentiment has spread
from concerns regarding particular sub-prime loan vintages to the entire US
sub-prime market and to other segments of the mortgage market. These market
movements reflect a wider and higher range of discount rates as well as an
increase in implied future cumulative loss rates, some of which are
significantly in excess of the cumulative loss rates projected for the Company's
assets and historic cumulative loss rates across the entire market. As the
accounting policies of the Company require valuation of the Company's assets at
fair value, these higher discount rates and the increased credit risk implied by
the market may have a material adverse impact on the valuation of the Company's
US assets for the quarter ended 31 March 2007. Any resulting adjustment to
valuations will be charged through the income statement and will reduce the net
asset value of the Company (in accordance with the Company's accounting policy).
As valuation changes arising from higher discount rates do not have an impact on
the cash flows generated by its portfolio, the Company does not expect that any
significant adjustments will be made to distributable profits or that the amount
of future dividends will be affected.


The Company's dividend target for the quarter ended 31 March 2007 is €0.22 to
€0.25 per share. The reason for this range is that the Investment Manager is
continuing to assess the significance of recent prepayment activity by borrowers
reverting to full mortgage interest rates. As the level of actual prepayment
activity relative to the Investment Manager's assumptions will impact the
effective yield and valuation of a particular asset, the Company's earnings and
target dividends may be affected. While the Investment Manager has made prudent
adjustments to its prepayment assumptions in respect of the Company's UK asset
portfolio, it will continue to evaluate them further as additional performance
data is received.


Consistent with its increased focus on SME investments in recent quarters, the
Company expects to continue rebalancing its investment portfolio in order to
diversify risk and to further enhance portfolio yield. While asset dispositions
to effect this rebalancing may entail some minor volatility in both quarterly
earnings and NAV going forward, the Company maintains its dividend target for
the financial year ended 31 March 2008 of not less than €1.00 per share.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
As at 31 December 2006

1. General information

Queen's Walk Investment Limited (the 'Company') was registered on 6 September
2005 with registered number 43634 and is domiciled in Guernsey, Channel Islands.
The Company commenced its operations on 8 December 2005. The Company is a
closed-ended investment company with limited liability formed under The
Companies (Guernsey) Law, 1994 and its Ordinary Shares are listed on the London
Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Company is Dorey Court, Admiral
Park, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3BG, Channel Islands. 'Group' is defined as
the Company and its subsidiary. At 31 December 2006, the Company's only
subsidiary was Trebuchet Finance Limited.


The Company's investment objective is to preserve capital and provide stable
returns to Shareholders in the form of quarterly dividends. It seeks to achieve
this by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of tranches of
asset-backed securities ('ABS') where the Investment Manager considers that the
coupon or cash flows on the tranche are attractive relative to the underlying
credit. These are and will be, in most cases, below investment grade or unrated
and do or will, in many cases, represent the residual income positions typically
retained by the originator of a securitisation transaction as the 'equity' or
'first loss' position.


The Group's investment management activities are managed by its Investment
Manager, Cheyne Capital Management (UK) LLP (the 'Investment Manager'), an
investment management firm authorised and regulated by the Financial Services
Authority. The Company has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the
'Investment Management Agreement') under which the Investment Manager manages
its day-to-day investment operations, subject to the supervision of the
Company's Board of Directors. The Company has no direct employees. For its
services, the Investment Manager receives a monthly management fee (which
includes a reimbursement of expenses) and a quarterly performance-related fee.
The Company has no ownership interest in the Investment Manager. The Company is
administered by Kleinwort Benson (Channel Islands) Fund Services Limited (the
'Administrator').


2. Distributable and non-distributable profits

Non-distributable profits relate to gains from investments which under the
United Kingdom Listing Rules are prohibited from being distributed to investors.
All other income is classed as distributable income. Distributable profits
represent the net of this distributable income less operating expenses.


3. Subsequent Event

The Company's Investment Manager believes that recent movements in the US ABS
market indicate that a negative sentiment has spread from concerns regarding
particular sub-prime loan vintages to the entire US sub prime market and to
other segments of the mortgage market, and that these market movements reflect a
wider and higher range of discount rates as well as an increase in implied
future cumulative loss rates, some of which are significantly in excess of the
default rates projected for the Company's assets as well as historic default
rates across the entire market. As the accounting policies of the Company
require valuation of the Company's assets at fair value, these higher discount
rates and the increased credit risk implied by the market may have a material
adverse impact on the valuation of the Company's US assets for the quarter ended
31 March 2007. Any resulting adjustment to valuations will be charged through
the income statement and will reduce the net asset value of the Company (in
accordance with the Company's accounting policy). As valuation changes arising
from higher discount rates do not have an impact on the cash flows generated by
its portfolio, the Company does not expect that any significant adjustments will
be made to distributable profits or that the amount of future dividends will be
affected.
