CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

On June 9 2010, Northwest Investment Group Ltd. ("NWIG" or the "Company") raised 3 million pounds from the investors and was successfully admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. We are continuing to seek out investment opportunities in the hydropower energy market in Western China in line with our investment policy.

Losses for the period amounted to Β£148,000 (2012: loss Β£175,000; year ended 31 December 2012 Β£336,000) and at the period end the Company had cash and cash equivalents of some Β£1,947,000, down from Β£2,177,000 at 31 December 2012.

Β 

At the Company's annual general meeting held on 30 June 2013, shareholders approved the Company's Investing Policy in preference to a potential liquidation.

9 EARNING PER SHARE

Β 

The calculation of the basic earning per share is based on the profits attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

Β 

The calculation of diluted earning per share is based on the basic earning per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares and the post tax effect of dividends and/or interest, on the assumed conversion of all dilutive options and other dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Β 

Reconciliation of the earning and weighted average number of share used in the calculations are set out below.
