London Finance & Investment Group P.L.C. Results of Annual General Meeting and Quarterly Update

The Annual General Meeting of the Company was held today and all resolutions were passed unanimously.

London Finance & Investment Group P.L.C. , the investment company, today provides a first quarter report on its investments.

In the three months to 30th September, net assets fell by 6% from 66p to 62p. This was primarily due to widespread declines in European stock markets and the decreases in the values of our strategic investments in Finsbury Food Group plc and Western Selection P.L.C.. The Company is currently trading at a 33% discount to its net asset value.

During the period, the Company invested ‚£429,000 in Western Selection Warrants.

In spite of current market volatility, the Board of the Company is confident that it will be able to produce satisfactory results for the year.
