Investment in Structured Products

In line with the Company's strategy set out in the original offer documents, alarge percentage of the initial cash raised has been used to build a portfolioof Structured Products. The portfolio of Structured Products was constructedwith different issuers and differing maturity periods to minimise risk andcreate a diversified portfolio.

Part of the portfolio has matured and several of the investments have nowreached full term, including the HSBC investment and the RBS Autocallable,paying a 25.1 per cent. and 10.5 per cent. return respectively. We sold theMorgan Stanley product on 31 October 2012, at a price of 132.24 per cent.,which resulted in a positive return of £161,200 on the original £500,000investment. The product was sold to release cash flow for further QualifyingInvestments.

The strong performance of the FTSE 100 has supported valuations in theStructured Products portfolio, and the FTSE 100 has increased to sitcomfortably above all of the product's strike levels. As at 15 January 2013 theFTSE 100 was 6,117.31. Over the past three months, swap rates have remained lowand market volatility has declined even further.

No new investments were made in Structured Products during the period.

The Structured Products will achieve their target return subject to the FinalIndex Level of the FTSE 100 being higher than the Initial Index Level. Thecapital is at risk on a one-for-one basis ("CAR") if the FTSE 100 Index fallsmore than 50 per cent any time during the investment term and fails to fullyrecover at maturity such that the Final Index Level is below the Initial IndexLevel.

* The Final Index Level is calculated using 'averaging', meaning that theaverage of the closing levels of the FTSE 100 is taken on each Business Dayover the last 2-6 months of the Structured Product plan term (the length of theaveraging period differs for each plan). The use of averaging to calculate thereturn can reduce adverse effects of a falling market or sudden market fallsshortly before maturity. Equally, it can reduce the benefits of an increasingmarket or sudden market rises shortly before maturity.
