from

Notes to the interim statement
for the six months ended 31 December 2009
1. The unaudited interim financial information is for the six month
period ended 31 December 2009. The financial information does not include all
the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements of the company for the year ended
30 June 2009, which were prepared under the historical cost convention as
modified by the revaluation of current asset investments and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The accounting policies adopted in this report are consistent
with those of the annual financial statements for the year to 30 June 2009 as
described in those financial statements.
The interim financial information has been prepared on the going concern basis
which assumes the Company will continue in existence for the foreseeable future.
No material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the directors.
Accordingly, the directors, believe it is appropriate for the interim financial
statement to be prepared on the going concern basis.
The interim financial information has not been audited nor has it been reviewed
under ISRE 2410 of the Auditing Practices Board. The financial information
presented does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by section 434 of
the Companies Act 2006. The Company statutory accounts for the year to 30 June
2009 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditors, Grant
Thornton UK LLP reported on these accounts and their report was unqualified and
did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or Section 498(3) of the
Companies Act 2006.

6. Web communications
Provisions of the 2006 Act which came into force in January 2007 enable
companies to communicate with members by electronic and/or website
communications. The New Articles allow communications to members in electronic
form and, in addition, they also permit the Company to take advantage of the
provisions relating to website communications. Before the Company can
communicate with a member by means of a website communication, the relevant
member must be asked individually by the Company to agree that the Company may
send or supply documents or information to him by means of a website and the
Company must either have received a positive response or have received no
response within the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the
request was sent. The Company will notify the member (either in writing, or by
other permitted means) when a relevant document or information is placed on the
website and a member can always request a hard copy version of the document or
information.
