Notes to the Unaudited Financial Information

1.  The unaudited financial information for the nine months to 30 November 2015 has been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 104 "Interim Financial Reporting" and in accordance with the accounting policies and principles that will be adopted in the next financial statements which are to be prepared under Financial Reporting Standard 102 for the first time.  No restatement of prior periods has been necessary.  The unaudited financial information for the nine months to 30 November 2015 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 415 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative figures for the year ended 28 February 2015 have been extracted from the audited financial statements for that year, which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.  The independent auditor's report on those financial statements was unqualified. 

2.  The calculation of earnings per share for the period is based on the return attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

3.  Listed investments are stated at market value based upon bid prices at the accounting period end.  The unrealised depreciation or appreciation on the valuation of investments are dealt with in the revaluation reserve.
