NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2011
1. General information, basis of preparation and principal accounting policies
These interim statements, which have been approved by the
directors, are unaudited, and have not been reviewed by the
auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board (APB) guidance on
Review of Interim Financial Information.
These interim statements do not constitute full financial
statements as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The
comparative figures for the year ended 31 March 2011 do not
constitute full financial statements and have been extracted from
the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011.
The accounts for the year ended 31 March 2011 were reported without
qualification by the auditors and have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies.
These interim statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. In arriving at their decision to prepare these interim
statements on a going concern basis, the directors have reviewed
the anticipated income and expenditure of the Group and compared
with the Group's expected cash resources. This included
consideration of the anticipated realisation proceeds of the
investment portfolio, the timing of the realisation process and the
cash flow implications.
These interim statements comply with IAS 34 "Interim Financial
Reporting" and AIM Rule 18. The accounting policies and methods of
computation adopted in these interim statements are the same as
those adopted in the preparation of the audited financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2011.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011 were
prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) adopted by the European Union and those parts of
the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under
IFRS.
The following new standards and amendments to standards are
mandatory for the first time for the financial year commencing 1
April 2010. Where relevant to the Group these interim statements
have been prepared under the revised disclosure requirements:
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (revised) - The revised standard is
required to be adopted for any acquisitions made in the year but
had no impact on these financial statements.
IFRS 7 (revised) Financial Instruments Disclosure - The
amendment requires enhanced disclosure of fair value measurement
and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires
disclosure of fair value measurements by level of hierarchy.
IAS 24 (revised) Related Party Disclosures - This revision is in
response to concerns that the previous disclosure requirements and
the definition of a related party were too complex and difficult to
apply in practice, especially in environments where government
control is pervasive. The Group has adopted the revised IAS 24 in
these financial statements.
There has been no change to the principal risks and
uncertainties facing the Group since the publication of the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011. In summary,
the principal risks are:
-- Investment and strategic;
-- Liquidity risk;
-- Regulatory;
-- Reputational;
-- Operational;
-- Financial;
-- Interest rate risk; and
-- Foreign currency risk
Full details of the principal risks can be found in the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011 on page 9, a
copy of which can be found at www.strathdoninvestmentsplc.com.
1. Basic and Diluted Loss per share

(30 September 2010: 51,817,057 and 31 March 2011: 62,892,399) being
the weighted average number of shares in issue during the
period.
The final exercise period for the share options within the

assets of GBP2,890,000 and 104,317,057 shares in issue at the
period end (30 September 2010: assets of GBP2,290,000 and
51,817,057 shares, 31 March 2011: assets of GBP2,980,000 and
