In accordance with AIC guidelines the net asset value calculations include
estimated current period revenue.

The net asset value calculations include 50% of the costs associated with the
circular issued to shareholders relating to Tender Offers for ZDP and Income
Shares. As detailed in the circular these costs are split between revenue and
capital on a 50:50 basis.

The net asset value calculation includes the time value of unlisted warrants in
respect of the portfolio valuation. The Company has adopted the Black Scholes
methodology and will calculate the time value (in dollars) of unlisted warrants
every quarter. The twice weekly NAV calculations will be calculated by valuing
the intrinsic value of the warrants and adding the time value as at the most
recent quarterly valuation.

 

Intrinsic value of unlisted warrants as at 31 May 2008:             $191,250
