INTERIM REPORT AND UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present the Chairman's report for the interim period ending 30 June 2011. During the period under review the Company reported a net loss of GBP97,241 (six months ended 30 June 2010: GBP37,378) and as at 30 June 2011 has liquid cash balances of GBP3,099,008 (30 June 2010: GBP3,214,038).

During the period under review, the Company focused its attentions on one specific transaction and for much of the period was carrying out legal and commercial due diligence on this target company. The target company's principal asset is a near term revenue generating bulk commodity project in West Africa which your Board believes may generate significant market interest and shareholder value. However, as a result of the due diligence exercise carried out by your Company, certain issues have arisen that have led your Board to conclude that this transaction is unlikely to be consummated in the near term. As a result of this, the fees incurred on this transaction to the balance sheet date have been expensed. We are disappointed that this transaction has not been able to be concluded in a timely manner but we continue to investigate other suitable opportunities. I look forward to updating you with our progress in due course.

Malcolm Burne

Chairman

Due to there being a loss during each period under review, the share options are anti-dilutive and therefore no diluted loss per share has been presented.

5. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The "basic" net asset value per share figures are calculated on the basis of the net assets attributable to equity shareholders divided by the number of ordinary shares in issue at the relevant dates.

As the exercise price of the share options is above the "basic" net asset value per share the share options are anti-dilutive and therefore a "fully diluted" net assets per share has not been calculated.
