Return/(loss) attributable
to equity shares ( GBP'000) 389 (359) 30 410 (121) 289

The weighted average number of shares is calculated excluding treasury shares of
2,341,500 (2011: 2,242,955).
There are no convertible instruments, derivatives or contingent share agreements
in issue, and therefore no dilution affecting the return per share. The basic
return per share is therefore the same as the diluted return per share.

statement differs from the amount shown above, due to an investment settlement
creditor in the prior year.
The Directors believe that the carrying value of loan stock measured at
amortised cost is not materially different to fair value. The Company does not
hold any assets as the result of the enforcement of security during the period,
and believes that the carrying values for both impaired and past due assets are
covered by the value of security held for these loan stock investments.
The amended FRS 29 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' requires the Company to
disclose the valuation methods applied to its investments measured at fair value
through profit or loss in a fair value hierarchy according to the following
definitions;
