Chairman's Statement 
 
Our result at mid-year has been adversely affected by both the catastrophe 
losses in the first six months and by the much publicised deterioration in the 
operating performance of UK motor business which has impacted the 2008, 2009 and 
2010 years of account reducing our result for the period by some GBP350,000.  It 
is important to remember however, that the full year results normally tell a 
different story to the half year, as indeed was the case last year and in the 
absence of an abnormal loss pattern in the remaining months of the year, we 
fully expect a satisfactory outcome for 2010.  On a three year account basis, 
the portfolio of syndicates supported by Hampden Underwriting continues to 
outperform Lloyd's on both the 2008 and 2009 accounts with Hampden Agencies (our 
Lloyd's adviser) estimating profits of 6.11% on capacity for 2008 and 12.68% for 
2009.  They are currently targeting a profit of 5% on capacity for the 2010 year 
of account although it must be borne in mind that the hurricane season usually 
continues until the end of November.  In this respect the current year is still 
very much on risk. 
 
Whilst current prospects are undoubtedly more challenging, we remain confident 
of the resilience of the syndicates in our portfolio. 
 
I said in my statement in 2009 that our policy of expansion through the 
acquisition of Namecos remained an important part of our strategy and therefore 
I am delighted to report that in August this year we were able to buy Nameco (No 
321) Ltd., thereby increasing our underwriting by a further GBP800,000.  It is 
also gratifying that despite the mid-year result, the cash balance, held by the 
Group, has increased by GBP571,000.
