Manager's Review
Markets drifted for the majority of the period under review with the FTSE Small Cap TR Index up 0.7% and the FTSE All-Share TR Index (£) down 0.9%. It is pleasing to report that against this backdrop the net asset value rose by 8.8% to 296p per share. The increase in the portfolio was broadly based, although there was no movement in the value of the unquoted portfolio. Whilst current market conditions are difficult the manager believes there is inherent value in the portfolio which will be realised in the next quarter.

15 April 2011 a total of 250,000 ordinary shares at a gross price of £2.30 per share.27 May 2011 a total of 170,000 ordinary shares at a gross price of £2.30 per share.
