Trading Update

Ahead of the Company's announcement of full year results, currently being audited by our auditors PwC, Daniel Stewart is pleased to provide a market update.

The year to 31st March 2014* will show a further loss although we anticipate a substantial improvement over last year. The second half of the year showed considerable improvement, benefitting from the improvement in economic and market sentiment, but not sufficient to generate a profit for the period.

The first quarter, to 30 June 2014, saw a further improvement in activity during which we completed a number of small secondary fundraisings. Our current pipeline gives us encouraging visibility through the remainder of the half year, subject always to the successful completion of these opportunities.

The Company expects to release its full year results during September 2014.
