This is an estimated valuation of the net assets of the Company as at 30 June
2006. This valuation is for information purposes only and has not been verified
by the Company or the Manager. This valuation includes the most recent
information available from the Company's underlying private equity fund managers
for their respective private equity portfolios. It is based on unaudited
estimated valuations supplied by the administrators, managers or investment
advisers of the Company's underlying investments. Whilst the Manager believes
this information to be useful investor information, it is subject to material
change and consequently no reliance should be placed as to its accuracy.

Neither the Company nor the Manager accept any liability whatsoever in regard to
this information. The only official valuation of the Company's portfolio is the
valuation produced as at the last business day of each month and reported via
RNS when released.

* The NAV is positively impacted by $0.01 or 1 cent per Ordinary Share due to a
change in the Company's valuation methodology.  During this quarter, the Company
changed its financial accounting policy for quoted investments to comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted for use in the
European Union.  As such, the Company will no longer apply discounts to quoted
investments and will apply bid prices rather than close price at the end of the
relevant accounting period.
