3          Accounting policies 
 
Basis of preparation 
 
The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company for the six
months ended 31 December 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries,
together referred to as the "Group".   The financial information set out in
this announcement for the year ended 30 June 2015 does not constitute the
Group's statutory accounts for that period within the meaning of Section 434
of the Companies Act 2006.   Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June
2015 are available on the Company's website at www.caledoniantrust.com and
have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.   These accounts have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union.   The auditors have reported on
those financial statements;  their reports were (i) unqualified, (ii) did not
include references to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way
of emphasis without qualifying their reports, and (iii) did not contain
statements under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The financial information set out in this announcement has been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union ("adopted IFRS").   The financial information is presented in

The financial information has been prepared applying the accounting policies
and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the company's
published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015. 
 
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management
necessarily makes judgements and estimates that have a significant effect on
the amounts recognised in the interim statement.   Changes in the assumptions
underlying the estimates could result in a significant impact to the financial
information.   The most critical of these accounting judgement and estimation
areas are included in the Group's 2015 consolidated financial statements and
the main areas of judgement and estimation are similar to those disclosed in
the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.

5          Income tax 
 
Taxation for the 6 months ended 31 December 2015 is based on the effective
rate of taxation which is estimated to apply to the year ending 30 June 2016. 
Due to the tax losses incurred there is no tax charge for the period. 
 
In the case of deferred tax in relation to investment property revaluation
surpluses, the base cost used is historical book cost and includes allowances
or deductions which may be available to reduce the actual tax liability which
would crystallise in the event of a disposal of the asset.  At 31 December
2015 there is a deferred tax asset which is not recognised in these accounts.
