                              CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


As all our shareholders will be aware 2002 has been a difficult year for
virtually all Investment Trusts and all companies involved in unquoted
investments or start up situations.


The investment environment has been the most difficult since the traumatic
period around 1974. The three years to 31st December 2002 has seen the FTSE All
Share Index fall from 3125, which was close to its peak, to 1895, a drop of
39.4%.


Our results for the year to 31st December 2002 show an increased loss per
ordinary share from 1.5p, for the previous year, to 56.3p. This is largely a
reflection of falling markets, combined with a 5.7% fall in income and an
increase in other expenses.


The basic net asset value per ordinary share however has been relatively
resilient, having fallen 11.6% during the year to 488.3p as against the FTSE All
Share Index, which in the same period fell from 2558 to 1895, a drop of 25.9%.
Put in an overall three-year context your Company's net asset value per ordinary
share increased over these same three years from 291.4p to 488.3p, an increase
of 67.5%.


The share price, despite its recent fall, has increased over the same three-year
period by 364.3%.


Your Company's share performance has in the past largely reflected that of its
better known small company investments. A prime example is that of Transense
Technologies, which in recent years has been our largest investment but now
represents only 7.7% of the share portfolio, primarily as a result of the drop
in its share value resulting from the delay in its flow of royalty income.
Consequently Image Scan Holdings, which is also quoted on AIM, becomes our
largest holding representing 17.5% of the portfolio.


Image Scan's core technology relates to innovative imaging techniques, their
interpretation and application. It has developed an expertise, supported by
patent applications, in multi-view X-Ray imaging, where it is possible to
extract three-dimensional information from objects under inspection. It has
particular relevance in the field of security, such as airport baggage
inspection, and in industrial inspection, evidenced by in-line and on-line 3D
X-Ray inspection of assembled high value and safety critical components.


Continuing our strategy of seeking innovative early stage investments we
subscribed for an equity interest in the formation of SpaceandPeople Limited at
the beginning of 2001.

SpaceandPeople Limited specialises in the marketing of promotional areas of the
UK's leading shopping centres. In its first two years of trading it increased
the portfolio of shopping centres under its management to seventy leading
centres addressing a weekly footfall of over fifteen million people. This new
form of highly economic advertising and customer communication media shows every
prospect of offering substantial potential growth.


The performance of the property portfolio has remained steady. A number of
renovations have been carried out to older buildings and in one case we have
completely rebuilt one of our large warehouse units. The costs of these
improvements, which have increased the value of the portfolio, have been
reflected by a similar increase in the related borrowings.


The performance of your Company will of course largely reflect that of the
economy as a whole and in particular the general economic sentiment, in that it
materially affects the fortunes of young companies. We continue to see a number
of potentially attractive investments but we remain cautious as to growth in the
short term.


In consequence your Board proposes that the final dividend be maintained at its
present level of 3.1p.

Notes

(i)          The revenue column of this statement is the consolidated profit and loss
             account of the group.
(ii)         In accordance with the Company's accounting policies the above figures take into account the results of 
             significant investments only to the extent of dividends received
             amounting to #1,717 .
(iii)        Dividends - Ordinary                                                     2002                  2001

             - proposed final dividend of 3.1p per share (2001: 3.1p)                                                   
               payable on 25th June, 2003 to shareholders on the register at 16th      141                   136

(iv)         The summary of results for the year ended 31st December, 2002 does not constitute statutory accounts 
             within the meaning of s240 of the Companies Act 1985. The full statutory accounts which will be available
             to shareholders by 16th May, 2003 have not been reported on by the Company's auditors and have not been 
             delivered to the Registrar of Companies. Full accounts in respect of the year ended 31st December, 2001 
             have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and the Auditor's Report on those accounts was
             unqualified.

(v)          Basic revenue and capital returns per ordinary share are based on the net revenue return on ordinary 
             activities before deduction of dividends of #1,023,000 (2001: #2,202,000) and on the net capital return 
             of #(3,497,000) (2001: #2,270,000) respectively, and on 4,396,526 (2001: 4,337,288) ordinary shares being 
             the weighted average number of those in issue
             during the year.

             The diluted revenue per ordinary share is based on the net revenue return on ordinary activities before
             deduction of dividends of #1,023,000 (2001: #2,202,000) and on 4,729,490 (2001: 4,608,876) shares. The 
             number of shares is based upon the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year together 
             with 332,964 (2001: 271,588) shares deemed to have been issued at nil consideration pursuant to 
             (i) options outstanding and (ii) the maximum number of shares that can be issued under the terms of the
             8% Secured Loan Stock issued by Gresham House Finance plc.
