ACP CAPITAL LIMITED CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT At year end, the Group's net asset value was 28.7 pence as compared with 58.7 pence a year earlier. During the year the Group sold its interests in IFR preferred equity, IFR ordinary shares, and D tranche position in IFR debt, structured product investments and GCI Automotive debt and equity. In addition, the Leasecom ABS loan was repaid in full and cancelled. In total GBP92.2 million was received from asset realisations and GBP108.2mnmillion was distributed to shareholders; as compared with last year, the portfolio now comprises the following (based on year end book value): +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | ACP Capital Limited | ACP Mezzanine | | | | Limited ** | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | IFR Capital plc | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | GBP13,408,634 | EUR7,070,217 | | Tranche A | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | GBP8,252,614 | EUR4,351,507 | | Tranche B | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | GBP8,096,888 | EUR4,269,395 | | Tranche C | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | (GBP6,707,239) | - | | Currency hedge | | | | impact | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | Leasecom Group SAS | GBP17,738,433 | - | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GCI Management AG | GBP3,387,140 | - | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | Davenham Group plc | GBP455,566 | - | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | ACP Mezzanine | GBP7,389,523 | - | | Limited * | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | | | | +----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ * Based on the mid market price of the shares held by ACP Capital Limited in ACP Mezzanine Limited on 31 December 2009 ** 100% of investments held by ACP Mezzanine Limited on 31 December 2009, including minority interest The remaining assets primarily comprise three tranches of IFR debt, an equity investment in Leasecom, and equity investments in Davenham Group plc and GCI Management AG, two public companies, quoted, on AIM in London and on the Frankfurt stock-exchange in Germany, respectively. The most significant event during the year was the sale in November of the Group's interests in IFR preferred shares, equity and D tranche debt for proceeds totalling EUR80 million. All outstanding litigation with IFR was also settled with no admission of liability and each party bearing its own costs. Our remaining investment in IFR comprises mainly three tranches of debt. The "A" tranche bears interest at 225 bps over 3 month Euribor and is amortising with the final payment due in December 2014. The "B" and the "C" tranches are interest only, respectively, at 275 and 325 bps over 3 month Euribor and repayment of principal due in December 2015 and December 2016 respectively. Following the sale of our interests in the IFR preferred shares and equity, two shareholders control nearly all of IFR's ordinary equity, and the company has now been delisted from AIM. IFR is up to date with its interest payments under these tranches of debt. Leasecom is a French equipment leasing company functioning as a financial intermediary, providing financing to lessors of computer and IT equipment and then selling these leases to French financial institutions. Leasecom is well managed, well financed with very little debt, and profitable. On shareholders' equity of EUR35.0 million the company made a dividend payment for 2009 of EUR7.0 million on 7 January 2010. Our share of that dividend is EUR3.14 million, which has already been received and will soon be distributed. At the ACP Mezzanine level, the EUR15 million loan facility to Leasecom was cancelled and repaid in full, and has since been returned to ACP Mezzanine's shareholders. Our remaining investments are relatively small. We own approximately 22% of the equity in GCI, a Munich based merchant bank and approximately 29% of the equity in Davenham, a Manchester based finance company. Neither of these investments has performed well with GCI valued at the year end at EUR3.8 million (GBP3.4 million) compared with an original investment of approximately EUR27.0 million in 2007. Davenham is valued at the year end at GBP0.5 million compared with an original investment of approximately GBP25.0 million during the course of 2006 and 2007. Both companies have had poor trading results, financial difficulties and operate in difficult markets. Davenham has considerable exposure to residential property in northern and central England while GCI has been heavily invested in small, often family owned, German companies. We are continuing to reduce costs through staff and overhead reductions. Our objective remains to sell assets at appropriate prices and return the proceeds less expenses to our shareholders. I am hopeful that there will be progress to report when we release our interims results in six months. Respectfully yours, John D. Chapman Chairman ACP CAPITAL LIMITED DIRECTORS' REPORT The Directors present their report with the financial statements of ACP Capital Limited ("ACP" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2009. The Company was incorporated on 30 August 2005. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITES AND REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS The Company is incorporated in Jersey and, while it was in investment mode, provided specialist integrated finance and asset management solutions focused on European small and mid-sized enterprises. The Group provided equity, mezzanine and senior debt to companies targeting an integrated finance solution across their capital structure. At an EGM held on 17 July 2008, the Company announced that it would seek to dispose of assets on an orderly basis and return the proceeds to shareholders by way of distributions. A review of the business during the year is contained in the Chairman's statement. ACP Mezzanine Limited ("ACPM") The Company owns 54.37% of ACPM. As a result, ACPM is a subsidiary of the Company and these financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis including the balances of ACPM at 31 December 2009. At an EGM held on 9 December 2008, shareholders approved a change in investment policy to enable ACPM to seek to dispose of its assets on an orderly basis and return the proceeds to shareholders by way of capital distributions. Accordingly, during the year, ACPM sold all of its collateralised loan obligations and collateralised debt obligations, and part of its debt facilities. RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS The results for the year are set out in the financial statements. For the 2009 calendar year the Company has distributed to shareholders a total of 38.1 pence per share.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS So far as the Directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditors are unaware.

AUDITORS BDO LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditors. A resolution to reappoint BDO LLP will be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. On behalf of the Board Director 15 March 2010 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Directors are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance. The Company is incorporated in Jersey. The Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 does not contain a mandatory code of corporate governance, although it does impose statutory obligations on directors to act in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company. The Company currently complies with applicable corporate governance requirements in Jersey. The Directors acknowledge the importance of the principles of corporate governance set out in The Combined Code issued by the Financial Reporting Council in June 2008. Although the Combined Code is not compulsory for AIM traded companies, the Directors have applied the principles as far as practicable and appropriate for a relatively small public company as follows: Board Operation The Board is currently comprised of a non-executive Chairman (John Chapman) and four non-executive Directors. The Board considers that all non-executive Directors are capable of exercising independent judgement. The non-executive Chairman and other Directors are engaged on terms whereby their appointment can be terminated on three months' notice, save as noted in the Directors' Report above. Directors are subject to re-election by the shareholders at Annual General Meetings. The Articles of Association of the Company provide that a certain proportion of the Directors will be subject to re-election at each Annual General Meeting. The Board meets regularly and is responsible for commercial strategy, performance, approval of investments, monitoring and approval of major business. The Board has a formal schedule of matters specifically reserved to it for decision. To enable the Board to discharge its duties, all Directors receive appropriate and timely information. Briefing papers are distributed to all Directors in advance of Board meetings. All Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary, who is responsible for ensuring that Board procedures are followed and that applicable rules and regulations are complied with. The appointment and removal of the Administrator is a matter for the Board as a whole. In addition, procedures are in place to enable the Directors to obtain independent professional advice in the furtherance of their duties, if necessary, at the Company's expense. The Board met 18 times during the year, including the Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings. Board Committees Audit Committee The Audit Committee comprises Stephen Coe (Chairman), Patrick McCann, and James Lowenstein. Stephen Coe is a Chartered Accountant who has financial experience of acting as a non-executive finance director. The Audit Committee carries out a variety of functions, including reviewing annual and interim results, receiving reports from its auditors, agreeing the auditors' remuneration and assessing the effectiveness of the audit and internal control environment. The Audit Committee oversees the relations with the external auditors and where necessary, may obtain specialist external advice from either its auditors or other advisers. Audit Committee meetings coincide with meetings of the Board and take place not less than twice a year. The Audit Committee has written terms of reference. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - continued Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee comprises Stephen Coe, Antony Gardner-Hillman and James Lowenstein. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing the scale and structure of the senior employees' remuneration and the terms of their service or employment contracts, including share option schemes and other bonus arrangements. Remuneration Committee meetings coincide with meetings of the Board and take place at least once a year. The Remuneration Committee has written terms of reference. A full summary of Directors' Remuneration is set out on page 4. Nomination Committee and Litigation Committee The Nomination Committee comprises John Chapman, Patrick McCann, and James Lowenstein whilst the Litigation Committee comprises John Chapman, Patrick McCann, and Antony Gardner-Hillman. The Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing the Board structure, size and composition and making recommendations to the board of any changes deemed necessary. The Litigation Committee is responsible for reviewing litigation issues, and making recommendations to the Board in relation to what actions should be taken on these issues. The Nomination Committee and Litigation Committee have written terms of reference. The Nomination Committee and Litigation Committee meet as required. REGULATORY Compliance The Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure compliance by the Directors with the provisions of the AIM Rules for Companies as published by the LSE relating to dealings in securities of the Company and has adopted a share dealing code for this purpose. The Company is also aware of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Companies and will take all reasonable steps to ensure compliance by the Directors and senior employees with the relevant provisions of this code. Internal Financial Control The Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining the Group's system of internal financial control and places importance on maintaining a strong control environment. Procedures which the Directors have established with a view to providing effective internal financial control include: · the Group's organisational structure has clear lines of responsibility and delegation of authority; · a budgeting system whereby actual performance is measured against budget on a regular basis; · periodic results and activity reports are closely monitored by the Directors; · the Board is responsible for identifying the major business risks faced by the Company and for determining the appropriate courses of action to manage those risks; and · the Audit Committee monitors the effectiveness of the Group's internal financial control system. The Directors recognise, however, that such a system of internal financial control can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. Relations with Shareholders Communications with shareholders are given high priority. The Group makes regular announcements, including announcements of the half year interim results and the preliminary year end results. The Board uses the Annual General Meeting to communicate with investors and welcomes their participation. The Board aims to ensure that Directors are available at Annual General Meetings to answer questions. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - continued CREDITORS PAYMENT POLICY Group operating companies are responsible for agreeing the terms and conditions under which business transactions with their suppliers are conducted. DIRECTORS LIABILITY INSURANCE The Group maintains liability insurance to indemnify the Directors for losses that may arise from their duties as Directors of the Company or subsidiary companies. DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Directors are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and International Financial Reporting Standards. Jersey company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Company and of the profit or loss of the Group and Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to: · select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; · make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; · state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and · prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue in business. The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Going Concern After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

General information ACP Capital Limited ("ACP" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group"), while they were in investment mode, provided specialist integrated finance and asset management solutions focused on European small and medium-sized enterprises. The Company was incorporated on 30 August 2005 and registered in Jersey under registration number 91066. The Company's shares were admitted to trading on AIM on 6 January 2006. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2010. At an EGM held on 17 July 2008, the Company announced that it would seek to dispose of assets on an orderly basis and return the proceeds to shareholders by way of distributions. Any new lending subsequent to the EGM has been due to previous commitments. 2 Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (collectively "IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 applicable to companies preparing their financial statements under IFRSs. The financial statements have been presented in Sterling, the functional currency of the Company. Some of the subsidiary entities of the Group use a different functional currency, being the currency in the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. They are prepared under the historical cost convention modified to include available-for-sale investments and investments measured at fair value through profit or loss. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on the experience of the Directors and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The most significant techniques for estimation are described in the accounting policies or notes to the financial statements. Note 3 sets out a description of the significant accounting policies of the Group. The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the year ended 31 December 2008, and amended to reflect the adoption of the new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations which are mandatory for the first time for the financial year ended 31 December 2009. New and amended standards adopted by the group The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRSs as of January 2009: IFRS 7 'Financial instruments - Disclosures' (amendment) - effective 1 January 2009. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy. As the change in accounting policy only results in additional disclosures, there is no impact on earnings per share. IAS 1 (revised). 'Presentation of financial statements' - effective 1 January 2009. The revised standard amends the presentation of certain aspects of the financial statements. None of the other new standards that are effective from 1 January 2009 have had a material effect on the financial statements. Standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards not yet effective The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the group's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 or later periods, but the group has not yet adopted them: IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010). IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010). IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010). IAS 36 - Impairment of assets (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010). IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010). IAS 24 (revised) - Related Party Disclosures (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). 3 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies have been consistently applied across the Group entities for the purpose of producing these consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies applied are as follows: a) Basis of consolidation The financial information in the Group's Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 incorporates the Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that the control commences until the date control ceases. Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the Financial Statements of the Group. b) Acquisitions Acquisitions are accounted for as a business combination, in which case, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary or joint venture are measured at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of acquisition is measured as the fair value of the consideration given together with any liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Where the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceed the fair value of consideration paid, the excess is credited in full to the profit or loss on the acquisition date. Where a subsidiary is acquired in stages, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at their estimated fair value and compared to the cost of acquisition at each date investment in the subsidiary took place. c) Investments in an associate An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associates that are held as part of the Group's investment portfolio are carried at fair value even though the Group may have significant influence over those companies. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these investments are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they arise. This treatment is permitted by IAS 28 Investment in Associates which allows investments held by venture capital organisations and similar institutions to be excluded from the scope of IAS 28 Investment in Associates provided that those investments upon initial recognition are designated at fair value through profit or loss and accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, with changes in fair value recognised through profit or loss in the period of change. d) Investments measured at fair value through profit or loss Investments are recognised and derecognised at trade date. All listed and unlisted equity investments are designated as at fair value through profit or loss and subsequently carried in the statement of financial position at fair value, and the changes in fair value are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income analysed between accrued interest and other fair value movements. The valuation technique used for each class of investment is as follows: Equity - publicly traded equity is valued at bid price at the reporting date. Unlisted equity is stated at Directors' valuation having regard to venture capital guidelines and third party reports. Preference equity - valued as a percentage to par using the same percentage to par of indicative bids of junior debt in the company in which the preference equity is held. Syndicated loans - are stated at Directors' valuation based on similar assets traded in the secondary market. e) Loans and receivables These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the Group will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable, these impairments together with foreign exchange gains and losses and associated interest on these assets are recognised through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. f) Available-for-sale Non-derivative financial assets not included in the above categories are classified as available-for-sale and comprise principally the Group's CDOs, CLOs and small and medium sized enterprises ("SME") loans. They are carried at fair value and valued based on an average of indicative valuations from market makers. Available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value with changes in fair value generally recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated available-for-sale reserve; exchange differences on assets denominated in a foreign currency and interest calculated using the effective interest rate method is recognised in profit or loss. Where there is a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the available-for-sale financial asset (which constitutes objective evidence of impairment), the full amount of the impairment including any amount previously recognised in other comprehensive income, is recognised in profit or loss. Purchases and sales of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised on trade date with any change in fair value between trade date and settlement date being recognised in retained earnings. g) Property, Plant and Equipment Office equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line method to allocate the cost over the estimated useful life. The estimated life of office equipment is 3 years. h) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value. A provision for impairment is established where there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables concerned. i) Cash & cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. j) Loans All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowings. After initial recognition, these are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the liabilities. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement. k) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost. l) Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds or fair value received with the excess of the amount received over 0.1p par value being credited to the share premium account. Direct issue costs are deducted from equity. m) Revenue Income from loans and receivables is recognised as it accrues by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's carrying value. Fee income earned on financing arrangements that relate to investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognised when that investment is made. Fees earned from financing arrangements that relate to investments classified as loans and receivables are recognised over the life of the assets. Fees in respect of any ongoing services are recognised as that service is provided. Dividends from equity investments are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the shareholders rights to receive payment have been established. n) Dividends Dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. In the case of interim dividends to equity shareholders, this is when declared by the Directors. In the case of final dividends, this is when approved by the shareholders at the AGM. o) Share-based payments Where equity settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied a charge is made irrespective of whether the market vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition. When the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the remaining vesting period. p) Finance expense Interest expense is calculated using the effective interest rate method. Finance costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the period of the loans and borrowings related to those costs. q) Foreign currency translation Transactions entered into by group entities in a currency other the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (their "functional currency") are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the reporting date, and are recognised immediately through profit or loss. On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translation the opening assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised directly in equity (the "translation reserve"). r) Derivative financial instruments ("derivatives") The Group uses foreign exchange swaps to manage its currency risk. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes. All derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. The gains or losses on derivatives, are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income immediately. 4 Significant judgments, key assumptions and estimates The Group's significant accounting policies are stated in note 3 above. Not all of these significant accounting policies required management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgements or estimates. The following is intended to provide an understanding of the policies that management consider critical because of the level of complexity, judgment or estimation involved in their application and their impact on the consolidated financial statements. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Fair value of financial instruments The Group determines the fair value of financial instruments that are not quoted by using either indicative prices or valuation techniques. These indicative prices and valuation techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimation cannot always be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and in many cases may not be capable of being realised immediately. At the reporting date GBP17.8 million (2008: GBP19.1 million) of investments were valued using valuation techniques. The valuation technique used is based on a relative valuation method (EBITDA multiple) and a discounted cash flow analysis. The multiples used in the valuation are in line with multiples of peer companies. If the EBITDA or multiple had been 5% lower or higher the investment value would have reduced or increased by GBP0.8 million (2008: GBP1.0 million) respectively. 5 Segment reporting The Directors consider that there is only one business segment being specialist integrated finance and asset management and only one geographic area being Europe. 6 Financial risk management The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: concentration risk, market price risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. a) Concentration risk Concentration risk arises from individual investments to which the Group has significant exposure. The Group defines significant exposure as 10 percent of gross portfolio value. Concentration risk is managed through regular review of public information and from review of reports from debt agents and similar, where appropriate. The Group seeks to have board representation on such investments and to communicate regularly with managers of these investments. ACP Capital UK LLP and ACP Investment Management Limited report quarterly to the Board on concentration risk. The concentration risks at year end were: -IFR Capital plc - the Group's exposure totalled GBP37.1 million of the net asset value total of GBP68.8 million (2008: GBP89.7 million of GBP155.0 million). -Leasecom Group SAS - the Group's exposure totalled GBP17.7 million of the net asset value total of GBP68.8 million (2008: GBP24.7 million of GBP155.0 million). b) Market price risk Market price risk arises from uncertainty in the future value of financial instruments. During the year significant investment disposals have been made. Existing investments are managed by the investment advisor who reports regularly to the Board to review past and expected future performance. The nature of investments is diverse. Monitoring includes reviewing monthly and quarterly financial management reports and monthly portfolio managers' reports. Regular contact is maintained with borrowers, agent banks and portfolio managers. Board meetings are also attended. Where available, prices are monitored daily as are companies on watch lists. Investments are not actively traded but opportunistic sales of investments have occurred. Other than listed equity investments all pricing is indicative only as there is little, if any, actual trading in other instruments. The Company's investments are exposed to market price fluctuation. The market price of the Group's remaining investments fluctuated by 17 percent during the year ended 31 December 2009. The Directors' consider that price volatility during the year ended 31 December 2010 will be at a similar level. As such, if the market price of these investments had been 17 percent lower at 31 December 2009 the Company's profit and net assets would have been lower by GBP9.98 million (2008: 22.20 million). A 17 percent increase in market price would, on the same basis, have increased the profit and net assets by the same amount. c) Interest rate risk As the Group has no borrowings, interest rate risk arises solely from interest received in respect of the Group's investments and loans and cash balances. Investments and loans issued at floating interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group is also exposed to fair value risk interest rate risk on the debt instruments held at fair value through profit or loss. The table below details the Group's exposure to interest rates at 31 December 2009 by reference to the earlier of the contractual repricing or maturity date: +--------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+-------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+-------------------+ | 2009 | | | | Within | | | | More | | | | | | | | | | | | than | | | +--------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+-------------------+ | | | | | 1 | | 2-5 | | 5 | | Total | | | | | | year | | years | | years | | | +--------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+-------------------+ | | | | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | +--------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+-------------------+ | Fixed rate: | | | | | | | | | | | +--------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+-------------------+ | Investments measured at fair | | -

In the year to 31 December 2010, the Directors consider that any movement in the Eurobor rate will be upward and the increase will be a maximum of 150 basis points. At 31 December 2009, if interest rates on Euro floating rate investments had been 150 basis points higher with all other variables held constant, the Group profit after tax for the year would have GBP0.7 million higher (2008: loss GBP1.5 million lower). d) Foreign exchange risk The Group invests in assets denominated in currencies other than Sterling. The Group has foreign exchange hedging agreements in place with IFR Capital Plc ("IFR") under which ACP's (but not ACPM's) Euro denominated investment in IFR's senior debt (the "Senior Facilities") was fixed into Sterling by reference to the Euro-Sterling exchange rate on 20 December 2007. The effect of the hedging agreement are that to the extent that ACP makes foreign exchange gains or losses on the Senior Facilities then ACP is due to pay such gain to, or receive such loss from, IFR on the date that ACP 's total debt commitments to IFR are reduced to zero. This foreign exchange hedging covers 34.0% (2008: 15.9%) of the foreign denominated assets. This foreign exchange derivative has not been separated from the host IFR Capital investment as the whole instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss. For the remaining foreign currency denominated assets, the Directors consider that further reduction in foreign currency exposure does not warrant the cash flow risk created from such hedging techniques. Therefore in relation to these assets, the movements in the exchange rate between Sterling and any currencies in which the Group transact exposes the Group to currency risk resulting in gains or losses on retranslation into Sterling all of which are recognised through profit or loss. These movements in the exchange rate may be influenced by factors such as trade imbalances, levels of short term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation and political developments. The Group's policy is for Group entities to settle liabilities denominated in their own currency with cash generated from operations in that same currency. If Group entities have liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency (and have insufficient reserves of that currency to settle them) cash already in that currency will, where possible, be transferred from elsewhere in the Group. The table below details the Group exposure to foreign currencies at the balance sheet date: +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | 2009 | | Sterling | | Euro | | Euro | | Other | | Total | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | | | unhedged | | hedged | | currencies | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | Total Assets | | 2,310,919 | | 43,989,220 | | 23,050,897 | | | | 69,351,036 | | | | | | | | | | - | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | Total Liabilities | | (469,778) | | | | | | | | (469,778) | | | | | | - | | - | | - | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | Net assets | | 1,841,141 | | 43,989,220 | | 23,050,897 | | | | 68,881,258 | | | | | | | | | | - | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | 2008 | | Sterling | | Euro | | Euro | | Other | | Total | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | | | unhedged | | hedged | | currencies | | | | | | | | (as | | (as | | | | | | | | | | restated) | | restated) | | | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | | GBP | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | Total Assets | | 7,280,417 | | 125,517,430 | | 23,969,563 | | 942,998 | | 157,710,408 | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | Total Liabilities | | (2,461,985) | | (243,003) | | | | - | | (2,704,988) | | | | | | | | - | | | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | Net assets | | 4,818,432 | | 125,274,427 | | 23,969,563 | | 942,998 | | 155,005,420 | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+------------------+-----+--------------------+-----+--------------------+ The table below shows the effect on the net assets of the Group at the reporting date if the Euro had strengthened or weakened by various percentages against sterling with all other variables held constant.

The Group is exposed to credit risk from deposits with banks and financial institutions.

Accordingly the Directors consider credit risk has been reduced. To mitigate against potential interest default and loss in value, the remaining investments (IFR Senior Facilities), are managed on an ongoing basis as follows: · Review of monthly reports. · Review of quarterly financial covenant compliance certificates. · Regular contact with agent banks or in some instances the borrower directly, to determine covenant compliance, trading status and performance. However, there is no guarantee that these credit risk management procedures will be able to limit potential loss in investment value or loss of income from counterparties who default on their obligations. If any or the Group's counterparties default on interest payments, the Group's revenues and profitability will be adversely affected. Financial assets that were overdue or impaired are disclosed in note 15. f) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its immediate financial commitments.

Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the Group will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable. 12 Available-for-sale investments +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | 2009 | | 2008 | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | GBP | | GBP | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Opening balance | | | | | | | | 24,585,894 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Transfer from | | | | | | | | | | 47,416,660 | | loans and | | | | | | | | - | | | | receivables | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Additions | | | | | | | | 2,828,052 | | 1,520,190 | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Interest income | | | | | | | | | | 38,644 | | accrued | | | | | | | | - | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Impairment of | | | | | | (3,166,941) | | (32,567,588) | | available-for-sale investments | | | | | | | | | +---------------------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Exchange differences on | | | | | | (1,399,623) | | 8,177,988 | | translating foreign operations | | | | | | | | | +---------------------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Disposal | | | | | | | | (22,847,382) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | Closing balances | | | | | | | | | | 24,585,894 | | | | | | | | | | - | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+---------------------+ Following the EGM on 17 July 2008, the Group announced that it would seek to dispose of its assets and distribute proceeds to its shareholders by way of distributions. Accordingly assets previously disclosed as loans and receivables have been reclassified to available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale investments were carried at fair value which was determined by using indicative prices. In relation to the prior year, where the valuation of the assets was based on an average of indicative prices, if the lowest or highest price had been used then the value of the Group's available-for-sale investments at 31 December 2008 would have been GBP2.17 million lower or greater respectively. 13 Property, plant and equipment +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | GBP | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+---------------------+ | Cost | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+---------------------+ | At 1 January 2009 and 31 | | | | | | | | | | December 2009 | | | | | | | | -

+-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------------------+-----+-----------------------+ 25 Prior year adjustments The prior year adjustment relates to an embedded hedging agreement within the investment agreement (the "Agreement") between ACP and IFR Capital Plc ("IFR") under which ACP's (but not ACPM's) Euro denominated investment in IFR's senior debt (the "Senior Facilities") was fixed into Sterling by reference to the Euro-Sterling exchange rate on 20 December 2007. The effect of the Agreement is that to the extent that ACP makes foreign exchange gains or losses on the Senior Facilities then ACP is due to pay such gain to, or receive such loss from, IFR on the date that ACP 's total debt commitments to IFR are reduced to zero. The Group's financial statements as at 31 December 2008 did not reflect this element of the embedded hedging agreement, and treated the debt as a foreign denominated monetary asset. Accordingly, in prior periods the Group has incorrectly recognised gains and losses on the translation of these loans at the reporting dates. This foreign exchange derivative has not been separated from the host IFR Capital investment as the whole instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss. The effect that this has had on the previously published financial statements is: +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | 2008 | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | Statement of Comprehensive | | | | | | | | GBP | | Income | | | | | | | | | +---------------------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | Increase in losses on investments at fair value through profit or loss | | 8,574,017 | | and Group loss attributable to owners of the Company | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | Statement of | | | | | | | | | | | | Financial | | | | | | | | | | | | Position | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | Reduction in asset value for investments measured at fair value through | | 8,574,017 | | profit or loss and Group net assets (excluding non-controlling interest) | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | Earnings per | | | | | | | | | | | | share | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | Basic (increase | | | | | | | | | | 4.22 | | in loss per | | | | | | | | | | pence | | share) | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | Diluted (increase | | | | | | | | | | 4.22 | | in loss per | | | | | | | | | | pence | | share) | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +-------------------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-------+-----+-----------+ This misstatement would have had an immaterial effect on the consolidated statement of financial position as at the beginning of the comparative period (1 January 2008).
