INVESTMENT IN STRUCTURED PRODUCTS In line with the Company's strategy set out in the original offer documents,part of the initial cash raised has been used to build a portfolio ofStructured Products. The portfolio of Structured Products was constructed withdifferent issuers and differing maturity periods to minimise risk and create adiversified portfolio. The majority of this portfolio has now reached full termand paid a positive return, with all products which have reached full termpaying their maximum return. The recent changes are listed below. There have been no significant changes to either the Ordinary or C Shareportfolios in the past few months. The next maturity in the Ordinary shareportfolio is May 2015. There is now one product in the C share portfolio left which is due to maturein 2017; the strike of this is 5,246.99. The continued strong performance of the FTSE 100 has supported valuations inthe Structured Products portfolio. The FTSE 100 has remained far above all ofthe product's strike levels. As at 31 May 2014, the FTSE 100 was 6,844.51. Overthe past three months, swap rates have increased slightly and volatility hasremained low, mainly due to improvements in the UK economy as a whole. No new investments were made in Structured Products during the period. The Structured Products will achieve their target return subject to the FinalIndex Level of the FTSE 100 being higher than the Initial Index Level. Thecapital is at risk on a one-for-one basis ("CAR") if the FTSE 100 Index fallsmore than 50 per cent any time during the investment term and fails to fullyrecover at maturity such that the Final Index Level is below the Initial IndexLevel.

The use of averaging to calculate thereturn can reduce adverse effects of a falling market or sudden market fallsshortly before maturity. Equally, it can reduce the benefits of an increasingmarket or sudden market rises shortly before maturity. ** The Nomura Structured Product was sold prior to maturity with a return oninitial investment of 28.8 per cent.
