Interim Management Statement

Quarter ended 31 May 2012

   1.            Net Asset Value 

The net asset value (NAV) was 38.6p at 31 May 2012 compared to 38.7p at 29 February 2012.

The NAV at 31 May 2012 reflects the valuation of unlisted investments at 29 February 2012, as shown in the annual report, and the closing bid price of quoted securities at 31 May 2012. The Board undertakes a full valuation review on a six monthly basis except where a significant development in an unlisted investment requires an earlier revaluation.

   3.            Disposals during the quarter 

During the quarter under review realisations totalled GBP174,592 in respect of investments in ATR Holdings, Walker Technical, Space Student Living and Deltex.

   4.            Update 

Since 31 May 2012, investments totalling GBP115,000 have been made in Glacier Energy Services Group and in a refinancing of Venmar Limited (trading as XPD8 Solutions).

The Board is not aware of any other events or transactions that have taken place between 31 May 2012 and the date of publication of this statement which would have had a material impact on the financial position of the Company.
