---------------------------------  --------------  ---------------------------------  --------------------------------

The Company has a holding of 723,560 shares in Datawind Inc., with a middle market value of approximately GBP1.6million as at 31 October 2014, in relation to which it has entered into a contractual lock-up whereby the shares in Datawind Inc. may not be sold until 2015. The sale proceeds from this holding are therefore not available for distribution at this time. Instead the proceeds of eventual sale of the Company's holding in Datawind Inc. will form part of a further liquidators' distribution to Geared Ordinary Shareholders which is expected to be made within a year of the Company being placed into liquidation.

Zero Dividend Preference shareholders who have rolled over their investment into the I-ACC unit class of the Jupiter Strategic Reserve Fund (ISIN: GB00B7KKF583) received an issue price of 54.32p per unit, which equates to 0.745582 Units for each Zero Dividend Preference share previously held (at 40.5p each).

The liquidators anticipate that payments of their first distribution will take place in the week commencing 3 November 2014 in accordance with the timetable set out in the Company's reconstruction circular dated 4 September 2014.
