Sensitivity analysis is based on the Group's monetary foreign currency instruments held at each balance sheet date.

If Sterling had weakened against the US Dollar by 10%, this would have increased the net assets by GBP558,942 (2010: GBP432,413) and reduced the net loss by GBP558,942 (2010: GBP432,413).

If Sterling had strengthened against the US Dollar by 10%, this would have decreased the net assets by GBP457,316 (2010: GBP353,793) and increased the net loss by GBP457,316 (2010: GBP353,793).

If Sterling had weakened against the Euro by 10%, this would have increased the net assets by GBP247,183 (2010: GBP377,105) and reduced the net loss by GBP247,183 (2010: GBP377,105).

If Sterling had strengthened against the Euro by 10%, this would have decreased the net assets by GBP202,240 (2010: GBP308,540) and increased the net loss by GBP202,240 (2010: GBP308,540).

If Sterling had weakened against the New Zealand Dollar by 10%, this would have increased the net assets by GBP417,682 (2010: Nil) and reduced the net loss by GBP417,682 (2010: GBPNil).

If Sterling had strengthened against the New Zealand Dollar by 10%, this would have decreased the net assets by GBP341,740 (2010: Nil) and increased the net loss by GBP341,740 (2010: Nil).

Interest rate risk

Interest rate movements may affect:

-- the fair value of the investments in fixed rate securities (including unquoted preferred shares - page 9);

-- the level of income receivable on cash deposits;

-- the interest payable on the Group's variable rate borrowings.

The possible effects on fair value and cash flows that could arise as a result of changes in interest rates are taken into account when making investment decisions and borrowings under the loan facility. The Board reviews on a regular basis the values of the unquoted loans and preferred shares to companies in which private equity investment is made. Interest rate risk is not significant to the Group.

Other price risk

Other price risks (i.e. changes in market prices other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk) may affect the value of investments.

The Group's exposure to price risk comprises mainly of movements in the value of the Group's investments. As at the year-end, the spread of the Group's investment portfolio is analysed on pages 8 and 9.

The Board of Directors manages the market price risks inherent in the investment portfolios by ensuring full and timely access to relevant investment information from the Investment Manager. The Board meets regularly and at each meeting reviews investment performance. The Board monitors the Investment Manager's compliance with the Group's objectives and is directly responsible for investment strategy and asset allocation.

The Group's exposure to other changes in market prices at 31 March 2011 on its investments was as follows:

 
                                                 2011         2010

                                          -----------  ----------- 
 
 

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the profit and net assets to an increase or decrease of 10% in the fair values of the Group's investments. This level of change is considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Group's investments at each balance sheet date, with all other variables held constant.

(ii) Liquidity risk

This is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

The Group is faced with liquidity risk as the Group invests in unlisted equities and other investments that may not be readily realisable.

In accordance with the Group's policy, the Investment Manager monitors the Company's liquidity risk, and the Board of Directors reviews it. Details of the Group's debt instruments are disclosed on page 9.

The table below shows the split of investments with maturity dates of less than a year and investments with no maturity date.

                 ----------- 
 

The Group's financial liabilities are due to mature within one year from the balance sheet date.

(iii) Credit risk

The Group does not have any significant exposure to credit risk arising from any one individual party. Credit risk is spread across a number of counterparties, each having an immaterial effect on the Group's cash flows, should a default happen. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date is represented by the respective carrying amounts of the financial assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

The fair value for each class of financial assets and liabilities, compared with the corresponding amount in the statement of financial position were as follows:

 
                                    2011                       2010
