The unclassified shares may be allotted and issued as one or more classes of shares, including participating redeemable preference shares ("preferred shares" or "Shares"). To qualify as participating redeemable preference shares, the preferred shares are required under Guernsey Law to have a preference over another class of share capital. The preferred shares may be redeemed at the option of the Company, subject to the discretion of the directors.

The common or founder shares have been created so that preferred shares may be issued. The common or founder shares are not redeemable and do not carry any right to vote or receive dividends and are only entitled to participate in the assets of the Company on a winding-up.

REPURCHASED

In the period ended 30 June 2013, no shares were repurchased (2012: 18,000 shares for a total cost of US$107,966).

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Company has the ability to issue share options representing 20 per cent of the fully diluted capital of the Company under its share-option plan. The share options are exercisable in three equal tranches on the first three anniversaries of the grant date and have ten-year lives. At 30 June 2013, 1,552,927 share options (31 December 2012: 1,552,927) were exercisable, with a weighted average exercise price of US$12.99 (31 December 2012: US$12.49).

   15.       FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks, which include interest-rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.

The value of investments within the Company's portfolio can fluctuate on a daily basis as a result of changes in interest rates, economic conditions, the market and company news related to specific securities within the Company. The level of risk may depend on, inter alia, the Company's investment objective and the type of securities in which it invests.

The primary investment objective of the Company is to generate long-term capital growth by investing expansion capital in companies that provide services and technology to the upstream oil and gas industry. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs a formal review of its investments. This review includes, but is not limited to, an assessment of the global macro-economic environment, the outlook for credit and the amount of active risk being taken in the Company.

The Company's overall risk management programme seeks to minimise the potentially adverse effect of risk on the Company's financial performance in a manner consistent with the Company's investment objective.

Full details of potential risks faced by the Company were set out in the latest Annual Report and Accounts. These risks did not change during the period to 30 June 2013 and are not expected to change during the six months to 31 December 2013. An abbreviated summary of these risks is set out below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price.

Market risks

Interest-rate risk

Interest-rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or fair values of financial instruments. Interest-rate risk arises when the Company invests in interest-bearing financial instruments.

Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the market value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices other than those arising from interest-rate risk.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

   16.       CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

The Company considers Shareholders' Equity to be its capital. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements.

   17.       POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENT 

As noted in the chairman's letter, the deteriorating cash position of the Company has led the Board to propose a share issue of up to 9.99 per cent of the Company's existing share capital. The Company has canvassed shareholders representing more than 50 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company and they have given their indicative support to a capital raising.
