Commentary
The Group is continuing to pursue it's strategy of reducing costs with a further
fall in the level of administration costs during the third quarter.
As reported in the previous two quarters, Crosby Wealth Management (CWM)
continues to make modest progress in terms of assets under management but
margins remain subdued. The Group is pleased to state that there have been no
substantial developments in the legal proceedings that have been brought against
CWM in relation to an execution error.
As announced on 28 August 2009 CAM has withdrawn from its joint venture with
Apollo Multi Asset Management LLP.
The process of winding up the Crosby Forsyth hedge fund of funds continues,
following the appointment of a liquidator in July 2008. Crosby Capital Partners
Limited continues to manage the Forsyth Managed Balanced and Institutional
Property funds.
Due to the lack of critical mass within the Crosby Active Opportunities Fund
('CAOF') CAOF has continued to liquidate positions, where possible, in order to
return cash to shareholders.
Stronger oil prices have continued to help with the development of Orchard
Petroleum, in which CAM has a five per cent. equity stake (rising to between
nine per cent. and ten per cent. after the repayment of debt to preference
shareholders). Total production for the period under review has been largely
stable. Whilst the overall well count has not increased substantially (now
standing at 47 wells), Orchard Petroleum has identified new prospects through
the deployment of better drilling technology and the identification of
additional geological features and is presently evaluating the best way to
exploit these opportunities and how best to fund any further development.
