In accordance with AIC guidelines the net asset value calculations include
estimated current period revenue.

The net asset value calculation includes the time value of unlisted warrants in
respect of the portfolio valuation. The Company has adopted the Black Scholes
methodology and will calculate the time value (in dollars) of unlisted warrants
every month. The twice weekly NAV calculations will be calculated by valuing
the intrinsic value of the warrants and adding the time value as at the most
recent monthly valuation.

 

Intrinsic value of unlisted warrants at 4 November 2009:            $714,618
