ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The principal accounting policies are as follows: (a) Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except that investments and derivative financial instruments are stated at their fair value. (b) Investments At 1 October 2005, the Company designated all its investments into the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss category. The fair value of investments is based upon their quoted market bid price at close of business on the balance sheet date. (c) Gains and losses on investment transactions Gains and losses arising on sales of investments are taken to realised capital reserve. Changes in the fair value of investments are recognised in the income statement through the unrealised capital reserve. (d) Income and expenditure Dividends on equity investments are credited to revenue on the date when the investment is first quoted ex-dividend at the amount receivable without any attributable tax credit. Interest income from certain fixed interest securities is recognised in the income statement as it accrues, using the effective interest rate of the instrument calculated at the acquisition date. Interest income includes the amortisation of any discount or premium or other differences between the initial carrying amount of the interest-bearing instrument and its amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest rate basis. Interest from deposits, interest payable and expenses of management are dealt with on an accruals basis. The finance costs of borrowings and the fee payable to the Company's managers are charged partly to capital and partly to revenue in proportion to the expected long-term split of returns in the form of capital gains and income from the Company's entire investment portfolio. All other expenses of management are charged to revenue. The Company has in place medium-term funding in the form of zero coupon finance through a series of option transactions on the FTSE 100 Index. These options are classed as derivative financial instruments and are shown separately at their fair values on the face of the balance sheet. Movements in the fair value of these instruments are recognised in the income statement and charged against the unrealised capital reserve. Underwriting commission is taken to revenue, unless any shares underwritten are required to be taken up, in which case the commission received is deducted from the cost of the investment.
