Commenting on the markets, Sam Vecht and David Reid, representing the
Investment Manager noted;

Market overview

The MSCI Emerging Europe 10/40 Market Index returned -5.9% in USD terms during
September.

The weakest market was Turkey. The Istanbul bourse sold off as part of a
broader Emerging Market decline in response to strong data in the US. This
increased the prospects of a US rate hike and strengthened the US Dollar, which
has implications for countries that have a current account deficit such as
Turkey.

Russia outperformed the index during September. The beginning of the month saw a
moderate tightening of EU sanctions as their scope was broadened. This had no impact
on the Company’s ability to own or trade equities of listed companies. Towards the
end of the month the situation on the ground in Ukraine appeared to be easing. The
ceasefire has been holding, with minor violations and on September 23rd NATO’s
spokesperson said that “there has been a significant pullback of Russian conventional
forces” from Ukraine.

The worst performing stocks over the period were Russian conglomerate Sistema
and its oil producing subsidiary Bashneft. The stocks fell precipitously after
Chairman, Vladimir Yevtushenkov, was detained under house arrest pending an
investigation into the privatization process of Bashneft. The Company does not
own shares in either company.

Focus on: Lukoil

Lukoil was formed in 1991 following the merger of three state-run companies in
western Siberia. The three companies were called Langepasneftegaz,
Urayneftegaz, and Kogalymneftegaz and this heritage is preserved in the
company's current name.

Today, the company is the largest privately-owned company by proved oil
reserves. The stock is a relatively new entry to the largest 15 stocks held by
the Company. We had previously avoided exposure due to Lukoil's extensive
capital expenditure programme. This capital expenditure cycle is coming to an
end and there has been a shift in management attitudes towards greater
investment discipline. We believe that this new focus will allow the company to
generate free cash flow which will enable it to pay a 6% dividend yield. Being
an exporter, the company is also a beneficiary of the weakening Rouble.

Activity

We added to the position in Turkish telecom Turkcell. The company's shares have
pulled back further than the Turkish market since the summer, despite the
company's defensive profile and progress in the shareholder legal dispute which
has been holding back dividend payments.
