   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 year, 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. 
 
   Additions and disposal proceeds included in the cash flow statement 
differ from the amounts shown in the note above, due to deferred 
consideration and settlement creditors and the restructuring of 
investments. 
 
   A schedule of disposals during the year is shown on page 18 of the full 
Annual Report and Financial Statements. 
 
   IFRS 13 'Fair value measurement' and IFRS 7 '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: 
 
 
 
 
Fair value hierarchy  Definition of valuation method 
Level 1               Unadjusted quoted (bid) prices applied 
Level 2               Inputs to valuation are from observable sources and 
                       are directly or indirectly derived from prices 
Level 3               Inputs to valuations are not based on observable market 
                       data 
 
 
 
   Quoted AIM investments are valued according to Level 1 valuation 
methods. Unquoted equity, preference shares, convertible loan stock and 
debt issued at a discount are all valued according to Level 3 valuation 
methods. 
 
   The Company's investments measured at fair value through profit or loss 
(Level 3) had the following movements in the year to 30 June 2014:

   Level 3 valuations include inputs based on non-observable market data. 
IFRS 13 requires an entity to disclose quantitative information about 
the significant unobservable inputs used. Of the Company's Level 3 
investments, 23 per cent are held on an Earnings or Revenue multiple 
basis, which have significant judgment applied to the valuation inputs. 
The table below sets out the range of Earnings and Revenue multiples and 
discounts applied. The remainder of Level 3 investments are held at cost 
(reviewed for impairment), recent investment price, net asset value 
(supported by independent valuation) or net assets.

   IFRS 13 and IFRS 7 requires the Directors to consider the impact of 
changing one or more of the inputs used as part of the valuation process 
to reasonable possible alternative assumptions. After due consideration 
and noting that the valuation methodology applied to 62 per cent. of the 
Level 3 investments (by valuation) is based on third party independent 
evidence, recent investment price, agreed sale price/offer price and 
cost, the Directors believe that changes to reasonable possible 
alternative input assumptions for the valuation of the remainder of the 
portfolio could lead to a significant change in the fair value of the 
portfolio. The impact of these changes could result in an increase in 
the valuation of the equity investments by GBP1,545,000 or a decrease in 
the valuation of equity investments by GBP1,094,000. 
 
   The unquoted equity instruments had the following movements between
