Following the EGM on 17 July 2008, the Company announced that it would seek to 
dispose of its assets and distribute proceeds to its shareholders by way of 
distributions. Accordingly assets previously disclosed as Loans and receivables 
have been reclassified to Available-for-sale investments. 
 
 
Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value which is determined by 
using indicative prices. 
 
 
Where the valuation of an asset was based on an average of indicative prices, if 
the lowest price had been used then the value of the Group's Available-for-sale 
investments at 31 December 2008 would have been GBP2.17million lower (GBP2.17 
million greater if highest price used). 
 
 
Where the valuation of an asset was based on an average of indicative prices, if 
the lowest price had been used then the value of the Company's 
Available-for-sale investments at 31 December 2008 would have been GBP0.54 
million lower (GBP0.54 million greater if highest price used).
