Further to the Company's interim results announcement on 7 December 2010, the

group, are pleased to announce the sale of its Guernsey based investment
management company, Syndicate Asset Management (C.I.) Limited ("Syndicate

("Consideration") to Hume Capital LLP.
The Consideration is to be satisfied by a cash payment to the Company at
completion of GBP850,000 for the goodwill of Syndicate C.I., a pound for pound
payment for the net assets of Syndicate C.I. at the date of completion, which
is expected to be approximately GBP440,000 (but which is subject to potential
adjustments following the preparation of the completion accounts for Syndicate
C.I. as at 31 December 2010) and the writing-off of the existing inter-company
loan provided by Syndicate C.I. to Syndicate of approximately GBP530,000.
Syndicate C.I., which is the appointed manager of the Zenith Funds, made an
operating loss of GBP384,000 and a reportable segment loss before tax to the
Group of GBP546,000 for the year ended 31 March 2010. Revenue for the same period
was GBP2.69 million.
The Zenith Funds provide individuals and financial intermediaries a range of
investment funds and multi-manager investment funds available in Euros,
Sterling and US Dollars and invested in multiple asset classes. The Zenith
Funds total approximately GBP238 million as at 30 November 2010.
Peter Dew, Syndicate Asset Management, Chairman, commented:
"The Board is delighted to have concluded the sale of its Guernsey operation
which, following a strategic review, was viewed as non-core to the Group's
activities."

"Hume Capital is an independently owned UK investment firm specialising in
active fund management. Our objective is to build a strong asset management
business focused on delivering outstanding investment performance and client
