Comment

In  the six months to June 30th, 2005, the Funds Net Asset Value per share fell
4.6%  to  US$37.19  (based upon previous accounting standards).  Over  the  same
period the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) index expressed in US Dollars fell
2.1%. The total deficit per Participating Preference Share was US$1.971 and  the
Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend.

Malaysias smaller market capitalisation stocks have performed poorly for over a
year  now,  and  have  been  de-rated compared with their  larger  counterparts.
Indeed,  the  KLSE  Second Board of smaller companies reached a  seven-year  low
recently  while in early August the broader index made a five-year high  (albeit
under-performing its neighbours). Although disappointing, your Manager continues
to  believe  that  the small and medium size companies, in  which  you  Fund  is
primarily  invested, continue to have good prospects for growth  which  will  be
recognised by the stock market.

UK  Accounting Standards (UK GAAP) have changed in anticipation of UK  companies
moving  to  International  Financial Reporting Standards.  The  main  alteration
affecting   the  Fund  is  the  reclassification  of  the  Funds  Participating
Preference  Shares  as  debt rather than equity. Further changes  involving  the
valuation  of  investments  at bid price rather than mid-market  price  and  the
inclusion of transaction costs have also been incorporated.
