as at 31 March 2011

Market value GBP4,215,000 representing 7.54% of Net Asset Value

RPC is the largest company plastic packaging company in Europe. A new chairman has restructured the business and this will lead to a significant improvement in profitability over the next few years. The company completed a major acquisition in early July and this has seen a significant re-rating of the shares which has continued into the current year.

Market value GBP3,858,900 representing 6.91% of Net Asset Value

BBA Aviation's principal business is Signature which is the leading provider of aviation support facilities for private jets throughout the world. The company has modest debt and is seeing good growth as the US in particular emerges from recession and business travel on private jets returns to historic level.

CVS Group Plc

Cost GBP3,635,969 (3,750,000 shares)

Market value GBP3,787,500 representing 6.78% of Net Asset Value

Market value GBP3,759,135 representing 6.73% of Net Asset Value

The company is an industrial conglomerate with its principal subsidiary being Coats - the world's largest manufacturer of thread. The company is in the process of breaking itself up which we expect will lead to a 40% profit for the Trust.

IDOX Plc

Market value GBP3,550,000 representing 6.35% of Net Asset Value

Market value GBP3,328,128 representing 5.96% of Net Asset Value

Gleeson is a small builder with operations in the Midlands and North of England. The company has no debt and was modestly profitable for the six months ended December.

Quarto Group Inc

Market value GBP2,813,000 representing 5.03% of Net Asset Value

The company is the world's largest publisher of 'coffee table' books, and a significant publisher of 'How to' books. Both these segments appear to be more resilient than traditional publishing. The shares currently trade on a modest price earnings of multiple of around 6.

Orthoproducts Limited

Cost GBP1,206,964 (319 shares)

Market value GBP2,791,250 representing 4.99% of Net Asset Value

Orthoplastics is one of two companies in the world capable of manufacturing advanced plastic materials to the orthopaedics industry. In addition the company is successful in rapidly growing plastic components for the same industry. Recent results have been very good and the outlook of the business looks encouraging.

Augean

Cost GBP5,592,911 (10,600,000 shares)

Market value GBP2,703,000 representing 4.84% of Net Asset Value

Augean owns 60% of the hazard based landfill capacity in the United Kingdom. Recent results have reflected a weakness in the construction industry. However, the company is attempting to secure a license to bury low level nuclear waste which if successful could lead to a significant uplift to the share price.

GTL Resources Plc

Cost GBP2,171,204 (3,000,000 shares)

Market value GBP2,490,000 representing 4.46% of Net Asset Value

The company owns a 110 million gallon per annum ethanol facility in Rochelle Illinois. Although the business is a commodity, there are reasons to believe that over the long term supply and demand will be broadly in balance and that 'crush' spreads will widen.
