I am a bit suprised that there is not some speculative buying in CLM with all this bad weather etc.. maybe its just too far off the radar for most speculative investors...

If CLM dont have a bumper year on the back of all this bad news then there would be something seriously wrong with the business model of the claims handling side of the business (i.e. its a screaming no brainer to me!! ADYOR etc..).

Kleinwort Capital Trust PLC
31 March 2006

Kleinwort Capital Trust PLC ('KCT') announces a £15 million commitment to
Parallel Ventures

London - August Equity Limited, the Manager of KCT, has today announced a
commitment of £15 million by KCT to the Parallel Ventures Limited Partnership
(the 'Fund') managed by Parallel Private Equity Limited ('Parallel'). The
commitment will be drawn down over a period of one year with the intention of
making a further £15 million commitment in 2007. Parallel has contractual
arrangements with a number of leading United Kingdom and European investment
firms which offer the Fund opportunities to invest in a fixed proportion of
their mid market buy-out deal flow.



The KCT Board believes Parallel provides an excellent fit with KCT's existing
investments. It provides investment diversification for KCT whilst at the same
time retaining the mid-market focus. The Parallel team is well regarded and has
a strong track record of delivering value to investors. Parallel's principals
have been known to KCT's Manager for many years. John Mackie is a director of
Parallel Private Equity Limited and Barry Dean is a member of its Investment
Advisory Committee. Both John Mackie and Barry Dean are on the Board of KCT.

The Board is continuing its strategic review of the Company and will announce
the outcome of that review in due course.

The bigger question is- why would a "special situations" investor be taking a big stake in CLM?

Yes, the potential here is exciting imo, and now they are well on course to their second year of profits then they should attract more attention from investors.

H1 was up 800% over H1 last year - little bit better than a flat H2 and the PE is 10 and falling fast.

PRELIMINARY RESULTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Key Points

* Turnover for the year has increased by 90% from #1,035,024 to #1,965,724

* Maiden profit this year of #135,313 compared with loss last year of
#304,032, and a loss for the previous year of #934,186

* Growth achieved both organically and by acquisition

* Balance sheet strengthened

I am pleased to announce our results for the current year, and our maiden profit
since the company floated on the Alternative Investment Market in October 2000.
Turnover for the fiscal year 2003 has increased by 90% to #1.96 million (2002:
#1.03 million) and losses have been converted into aprofit of #135,000 (2002:
#304,000 loss). For a start-up to achieve profitability in such a relatively
short period is, I believe, remarkable and this progress has been reflected in
our increased institutional shareholder base, our strengthening share price and
our ability to raise additional working capital.

Our strategy of providing claims handling, consultancy and website facilities to
the insurance industry has been well received. The group employs leading edge
technology with a unique web-based claims notification and monitoring system,
and this is now being used by a number of leading insurance companies. Our low
cost centralised operating model is a key feature of our success.

The year began well with the start of the LiverpoolVictoria contract which had
an immediate impact on turnover and profitability. This was consolidated with
client wins for our 'Verify' product which provides a quick appraisal of
accident damage for insurers and has proved an effective low-cost route to new
client business. We also experienced improved support from existing clients,
notably Norwich Union and HSBC, and new work flows from Cox and other insurers.

I am pleased that I am able to announce a substantial increase in turnover in a
year when some competitors have seen significant reductions in general claims
volumes, mainly due to the absence of winter weather.

In August we strengthened our balance sheet by the placing of 25 million new
ordinary shares with institutional investors raising #375,000 and following
which ISIS Equity Partners became one of our key investors holding 15.64% of the
company's issued share capital.

This capital raising enabled us to acquire the loss adjusting business of CCS
Global UK in September and this is now integrated into our operations. CCS has
already made a positive contribution to our profits.

We continue to monitor our general level of costs very carefully and will
achieve further efficiencies and economies of scale as our level of activity
increases.





PRELIMINARY RESULTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2003

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued)

Initial indications for current trading show significant increases each month
relative to last year and we enter 2004 with enhanced confidence.

Our policy of expansion both organically and by acquisition will continue into
2004 and we are actively pursuing opportunities on which I hope to be able to
report shortly.

Finally I wish to thank our loyal employees and our shareholders for their
support.

As institutions have been willing to buy, I can't see that the present price is much less of a sound investment for the retail investor.

i think at the moment a lot of investors confuse this share wih claims direct hence no buyers there is no connection
