The valuation movement of £600,000 relates to a full provision against the loan to Quiet Revolution Limited ("QR").  QR is a developer and distributer of wind turbines which has, so far, been unable to progress towards profitability in line with its plan.  As a result, QR required a further funding round in which the Company chose not to participate but converted the outstanding loan into equity.  Whilst QR is optimistic about its future profitability the Board concluded that it was appropriate to make a full provision against the investment at this time and will monitor QR's trading performance with a view to reassessing the provision in order to reflect future positive updates.

All other investments are generally performing in line with expectations.
