Material Transactions There were no material transactions during the quarter ended 31 December 2007. The Board is not aware of any significant events or transactions which have occurred between 31 December 2007 and the date of publication of this interim management statement which would have a material impact on the financial position of the Company. Material Events Conversion of C shares As stated in the Interim Report, on 12 October 2007 the Company's C Shares were converted into Ordinary Shares at a ratio of 0.34581 Ordinary Shares for every one C Share. 8,637 Ordinary Shares remain to be cancelled. These Ordinary Shares arose from 24,978 C Shares acquired as part of the proceeds on an underlying investment. Following the conversion the Company's issued share capital is: 24,828,739 Ordinary Shares of 50 pence each with ISIN GB0006630163, of which 8,637 Ordinary Shares are held by the Company pending their cancellation. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 24,820,102. Interim Report On 27 November 2007, the Company posted its Interim Report to 30 September 2007, to Shareholders. Result of AGM All the Ordinary Resolutions put to the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 9 November 2007, were passed. In addition, the Special Resolution to wind the Company up was voted down by over 98% of the proxies received and accordingly the Company will continue and will not be wound up. There were no other material events to report during the period under review. General During the period under review the net asset value fell by 11.5%, an underperformance as compared to the FTSE Small Cap Indices which on a total return basis fell by 8.9%. Poor performances from two of the Company's largest holdings, Georgica and Inspired Gaming contributed -2.9% and -1.1% respectively to the under-performance. Despite this setback the Manager believes the fundamentals of the investee companies are sound and the opportunities to add additional value remain. Market volatility has continued at unprecedented levels, however the Fund has no exposure to financials and limited exposure to the property sector which should offer a degree of protection, and as institutions look for safe harbours away from the small and mid cap sectors, this will create opportunities for the Company over the year.
