(the "Company")

Interim Management Statement

This interim management statement relates to the period from 1 July 2011 to the date of publication of this statement and has been prepared solely to provide additional information in order to meet the relevant requirement of the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, and should not be relied on by Shareholders, or any other party, for any other purpose.

The Company is a closed-ended Guernsey protected cell company with one cell known as the US Traded Life Interests Fund (the "Fund").

Investment objective

The Company's investment objective in respect of the Fund is to provide investors with an attractive capital return through investment predominantly in a diversified portfolio of US Traded Life Interests ("TLIs").

Financial position and performance

Over the period to 31 October 2011, the Company's net asset value per share decreased by 7.0% to 71.8 pence. As at 31 October 2011, the shares were trading at a 38.0% discount to net asset value.

Two policy maturities on a single life were identified during the period, and policy maturity proceeds were received during October 2011 adding circa 1.8 pence to the NAV per share. There will then have been, in aggregate, 32 policy maturities since the Fund's inception.

The Company's loan agreement with Allied Irish Banks plc ("AIB") expired on 31 July 2011, and pending the necessary approvals, AIB switched the loan to "repayment on demand", allowing the Company to continue fulfilling its obligations, including the payment of premiums. Following all the necessary approvals from AIB and the Central Bank of Ireland the loan agreement was renewed to cover the necessary funding up to the end of March 2012. As at 31 October 2011, total borrowings under the agreement amounted to US$23,192,000.

At an Extraordinary General Meeting on 20 September 2011 it was resolved to change the Company's investment policy to remove the requirement to hedge the currency exposure of the assets of the Fund into Sterling. Following agreement with AIB, the Directors have subsequently closed out its existing forward sale contracts of the remaining US$66 million, realising a loss of £7,388,291 to be settled at the end of March 2012.

At the same Extraordinary General Meeting on 20 September 2011 it was also resolved to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company's borrowing limit from 50% to 75% of the Fund's NAV. This was as a result of the losses referred to above and the resulting requirement of an increase in the Company's borrowings, which would in the absence of policy maturities or policy sales, result in a ratio of approximately 65%.

The Board is not aware of any other material events during the period from 1 July 2011 to 31 October 2011, or in the period from 1 November 2011 to the date of this announcement, which would have had a material impact on the financial position of the Company.

In previous reports, the Board has attempted to give investors an appreciation of the effects on valuation of differing assumptions as to both LE and IRR. These tables have tended to become quite complex, and the Board has been considering how best to improve them. The new, simplified illustrative 'Sensitivity Matrix' set out below is, in the first place, now expressed in terms of NAV per share, an easier concept to understand than that previously used (based on IRR to an assumed maturity date). Secondly, the tables now enable the Board to show the effect of differing market IRR assumptions.

- The first line of NAVs in the new table uses the 'Latest LE' assumption, that is to say either an LE based on a recently updated assessment or, for the remaining 34% of the portfolio by face value (the 'non-updated policies'), based on the original LE assessed at the time of purchase. The average LE (weighted by policy value) is shown for reference (4.75 years). NAV is then shown at four different discount rates, ranging from 10% to 20%. This shows the effect of IRR on current value, but it also allows investors to assess the effects of forced sales if, for example, the portfolio was to be liquidated before 31 December 2016.

- The second line uses the assumption that updated LEs obtained for the non-updated polices would broadly follow those already obtained for other policies, resulting in an LE increase of 20% on the non-updated policies. In practice, the LE changes exhibited by actual revised assessments vary widely and the Board does not feel it is necessarily correct to extrapolate the changes for the non-updated policies. The overall effect is to increase average LE by 0.21 years.

- The third line assumes an increase in LE of 40% on the non-updated policies. The effect on NAV is roughly proportionate to that shown in the second line, but the increase in LE is only 0.1 years because of the fact that policies are weighted by value - such an extension to LE of course has significant impact on the values of some of these policies.

- Finally, the fourth line shows the outcome of assuming LEs are simply based on the current table of life expectancies for the general population, the 2008 Valuation Basic Table (Ultimate), i.e. ignoring LE assessments. The Board does not suggest that this is a realistic assumption, but it gives a measure of the degree to which the portfolio is dependent on assessed LEs being shorter than for the population as a whole.
