CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Results
Our sole remaining substantial asset is our shareholding in SRG, previously called Mining Scotland. We have kept the value of this
shareholding at the same level as at the previous year end and our results therefore merely reflect the net costs of running the company for
the year. These were £123,000, which reflects our tight control of overheads and is a very low figure for a public company. Our net assets
in the balance sheet fell by only £118,000 to 8.56p per share (2007: 8.64p).
Scottish Resources Group
SRG's final audited results for the year to end March 2008 have not yet been published. After a return to profitability the previous
year, it is likely that these results will show an increased profit, helped by the sale of property assets and of the biomass fuel
subsidiary during the year.
It is too early to be able to determine the trading of SRG in the current year, but several circumstances have impaired performance.
These have included delays in bringing some new sites into operation, much higher fuel costs, wetter than normal weather conditions during
the summer and autumn and geological problems
at two sites. However, there has been a marked improvement in international coal prices which has provided some modest improvement to
the average selling price achieved during the year.
Looking to the future, SRG is likely to benefit to an increasing extent from improved coal prices, as older legacy contracts are
fulfilled. The outlook for coal prices remains reasonably optimistic and demand for the company's coal has remained strong. The Group is
planning to increase production in 2009 and has implemented a substantial capital investment programme. The impact of the international
credit crisis on SRG's future sales contracts and on its banking relationships is uncertain but the whole of the UK economy faces the same
difficulties.
SRG's extensive property interests were also actively managed during the year. The Group has a large land ownership across Scotland and
is working to develop a significant number of projects. Whilst the property market has suffered in the current downturn, SRG Estates
continues to invest to move projects forward through the planning processes in order to be in a position to benefit when there is an
improvement in the market. The Group's flagship development is a large scale new township development at Blindwells in the East of Scotland.
Detailed planning permission for this is being sought, and it is thought likely that this will be granted in due course.
Conclusion
Our assets are entirely focused on SRG. We remain optimistic about the potential for realising this investment in the future at a
favourable price when normal market conditions return.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. Accounting policies
A summary of the principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year,
are as follows:
Basis of accounting:
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards. At 30 June, 2008, the company had no subsidiaries
and therefore its results are not consolidated. In accordance with Rule 19 of the AIM rules the company's accounts are prepared under UK
GAAP rather than IFRS.
Turnover:
Turnover represented amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts and
VAT.
Income and expenses from investments:
Income from securities is credited to the profit and loss account when the securities are listed ex-dividend. Interest receivable,
interest payable and other expenses of management are dealt with on an accruals basis.
Foreign currency transactions:
Overseas income is converted to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling on the date of the transaction.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet
date.
Investments:
Fixed Assets: Listed investments are stated at values based on market prices at the balance sheet date. Unlisted investments are valued
by the directors at cost less amounts written-off or on an earnings multiple basis. Provisions are made for permanent diminutions in value.
Unrealised appreciation reserve:
The unrealised appreciation reserve represents the difference between the book cost and the market value of fixed asset investments,
held at the balance sheet date. This reserve is non-distributable.
Realised gains and losses on investment transactions:
Gains and losses on realisation of fixed asset investments and realised exchange differences thereon are transferred from the unrealised
appreciation reserve to the capital reserve at the time of the realisation of the investment. The capital reserve is a distributable
reserve.
Taxation:
The charge for taxation is based on the profit or loss for the year and takes into account deferred taxation arising on short term
timing differences between the treatment of certain income for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred taxation is provided for at
anticipated tax rates on differences arising from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods that
differ from those in which they are included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded only where it is
expected that an asset or liability will crystallise in the foreseeable future.
