(the "Company")
Net Asset Value calculation to 31 March 2015
Jim Mellon, Chairman, commented: -
"The Net Asset Value ("NAV") calculation for the Company as at closing on 31 March 2015 was 12.32 pence per share, including un-invested cash of £405,665. The portfolio is valued under IFRS at bid price.
Net Assets stand at £2.9 million including Investments of £2.5 million. This follows the successful completion of the tender offer which gave shareholders the opportunity to sell a proportion of their holding back to the Company at their implicit value rather than the historically discounted market price. Our holding in the Magna Biopharma Income Fund now represents 52.2% of the Company's portfolio.
This quarter's NAV represents a decrease of 13.8% from the previous valuation of 14.29 pence per share, which included un-invested cash of £431,744. On this basis, no additional management fee is due to Shellbay Investments Limited.
The reported NAV to 31 March 2015 suffered due to some share price fluctuations in our smaller quoted holdings, all of which have recovered some value in the opening stages of the second quarter. Our principal investment in the Magna Biopharma Income Fund continued to perform strongly, reporting an uplift in share price of 14.7% during the first quarter."
