Net Tangible Assets

We advise that the unaudited net tangible asset backing for the Company's shares at 31 May 2017 was:

Fully Paid Ordinary Shares

Fully Paid Ordinary Shares

30 Apr 2017

31 May 2017

NTA before tax

$0.110

$0.111

NTA after tax

$0.111

$0.114

As the Company continues its wind down strategy the number of underlying investments in the portfolio also continues to decline and the five largest exposures are now approximately 70% of the total private equity portfolio value. Consequently, the potential exists for greater volatility in the monthly NTA. That NTA relies heavily on the fund valuations advised by the various managers within the portfolio and those managers generally value their investments on a quarterly or six monthly basis.

Cash Position

At 31 May, the Company held $0.9 million in available cash ($0.9 million at 30 April).

The Company has no debt. Future cash requirements are expected to be modest and able to be managed through operating cashflow.

On Market Share Buy-Back

There were no transactions resulting from the Company's on-market share buy-back scheme during May.

Private Equity Portfolio

During May, the Company sold its interest in Direct Capital Partners (DCP) III at a modest discount to its carrying value which was only 0.4% of the Company's NTA.
