NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
for the period ended 30 June 2014 
 
1          ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
(a)        Basis of preparation 
 
The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
adopted by the European Union and applicable Guernsey 
 
law.  The Financial Statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis except for the 
 
measurement at fair value of unquoted and quoted financial assets designated at fair value through profit orloss. 
 
The Financial Statements are presented in Sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the Company operates. 
 
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures: 
 
The following Standards orInterpretations have been adopted in the current period. 
 
Their adoption has not had any impacton the amounts reported in these Financial Statements. 
 
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - amendments relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. 
 
The following Standards or Interpretations that are expected to affect the Company have been issued but not yet adopted by
the Company and are shown below. Other Standards or Interpretations issued by the IASB and IFRIC are not expectedto affect
the Company. The Board has not yet assessed the impactof the standards below on the Company and will do so prior to the
earliest period of adoption. 
 
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - amendments requiring disclosures about the initial application of IFRS 9
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 (orotherwise when IFRS 9 is first applied). 
 
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - original issue (classification and measurement of financial assets) effective for
annualperiods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. 
 
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - amendments resulting from Annual improvements for annual periods beginning on or after1
July 2014. 
 
IFRS 39 Financial Instruments - original issue (classification and measurement of financial assets) effective for
annualperiods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. 
 
No formal analysis has been completed on the impact of the adoption of any of the above standards or interpretations on
theFinancial Statements in the period ofinitial application. 
 
(b)        Going concern 
 
As described in Note 10, should the average 12 month discount at which the shares of any class trade to their net asset
value exceed 5% of NAV per share, the Company is obliged to 
 
offer a continuation vote to classshareholders. 
 
The Company has adequate financialresources and as a consequence, the Directors believe the Company is well placed to
manage its business risks successfully. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectationthat the Company
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Directors have
adopted the going concern basis in preparing thefinancial information. 
 
(c)        Taxation 
 
The Company has been granted exemptionunder the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 from Guernsey Income
Tax, and is chargedan annual fee of 
 
£600. 
 
(d)        Expenses 
 
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses relating to the Company are allocated across the three share
classes proportionally based on theirNAVs. 
 
(e)        Interest income 
 
Interest income is accounted for on an accruals basis. 
 
(f)         Cash and cash equivalents 
 
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as call deposits and short term deposits readily convertible to known amounts of cash
and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, 
 
together with bank overdrafts. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cashequivalents consist of cash
and deposits at bank, togetherwith bank overdrafts. 
 
(g)        Investments 
 
All investments are designated upon initial recognition as financial assets at "fair  value through profit orloss".
Investments areinitially recognised on the date of purchase (on 'trade 
 
date' basis) at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given, excluding transaction costs associated with the
investment.   Investments are subsequentlyre-measured at fair 
 
value at each reporting date. Unrealised gains andlosses on investments arising from change 
 
in the fair value of investments from prior periods is recognised in the Statementof Comprehensive Income. 
 
Realised gains or losses on the disposal of investmentsare determined by reference to average purchase cost. These are
recognised in theStatement of Comprehensive Income. 
 
In order to assess the fair value of the unquotednon-current and current investments, the NAVof the underlying investment
in AllBlue, AllBlueLeveraged and the ICS Funds is taken into consideration. The Company's holdings are realisable at their
NAV on quarterlydealing days facilitated by the administrators of these funds. Having taken account of the Company's
history of successfully realising its holdings at NAV, the Directors are satisfied that the reported NAV is a fair
estimationof fair value of the Company's currentholdings. 
 
The Company redeemed a portion of its investment in each share class of AllBlue (on a pro- rata basis) on 1 April 2012 in
order to generate a cash reserve (the "Cash Reserve") for the purposes of managing day-to-day cash flows, for meeting
expenses of the Company and for funding any repurchases of the Company's shares. 
 
During the period, part of the Cash Reserve was placed in funds of the Institutional Cash Series plc ("ICS Funds") (an
umbrella investment company with variable capital and having segregated liability between its funds) namely the
Institutional Sterling Government Liquidity Fund - Core (Acc). This asset is classified as current as it is expected to be
used for funding the purchase of the Company's own shares. 
 
The Company's NAV is based on valuations of unquoted investments. As described above, in calculating the NAV and the NAV
per share of the Company, the Administrator relies on the NAVs of the shares supplied by the Administrator of
AllBlue,AllBlue Leveraged and ICS Funds. Those NAVs are themselves based on the NAV of the various investments held by
AllBlue,AllBlue Leveraged and theICS Funds. 
 
(h)        Foreign currency translation 
 
The Financial Statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.  Operating
expenses in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the 
 
functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities 
 
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange rulingat the reporting date.
Investments in US Dollars and Euro share classes are initially recorded in their respective currencies and translated into
the Company's functional currency at the reporting date. All differences on these foreign currency translations are taken
to the Statement ofComprehensiveIncome. 
 
(i)         Segment information 
 
For management purposes, the Company is organised into one business unit, and hence no separate segment information hasbeen
presented.The Company  determines  that  this operating  segment  is  the  investment  in  three  share  classes  of  a 
fund  of  hedge  funds 
 
incorporated in the Cayman Islands. 
 
(j)         Shares 
 
Sterling, Euro and US Dollar Ordinary Shares have been classified as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 because of the
provisions contained in the Company's Articles of Association as described in Note 10.  The Directors have been advised
that this treatment does not result in 
 
the Shares being treated as a liability for the purpose of applying the solvency test set out in 
 
Section 527 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended. 
 
The Shares are initially recognised on the date of issue at the net of issue proceeds and share issue costs. The carrying
value of the shares is subsequently re-measured as equal andopposite to the other net assets of the Company. In prior
periods, the Company did not recognise any gain on the purchase of its own shares as the total discount to NAV on purchase
of own shares was considered immaterial. The Directors now consider this gain to beworthy of highlighting to Shareholders
because of its impact on the growth in NAV per share, although in absolute amountin remains immaterial, and so goingforward
the Company will recognise any gain on the purchase of its own shares within the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the
Treasury shares will then be held at their NAV at the date of purchase, see Note 12. The prior period figures have also
been restated to reflect this change intreatment. 
 
2          CRITICAL   ACCOUNTING   JUDGEMENTS   AND   KEY   SOURCES   OF   ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY 
 
In the applicationof the Company's accounting policies, which are described in Note 1, the Directors are required to make
judgements,estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are
considered to berelevant. Actual resultsmay differ from theseestimates. 
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the periodof the revision
and future periods if the revision affects both current and futureperiods. 
 
Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies 
 
The following are the critical judgements and estimates that the Directors have made in the process of applying the
Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant 
 
effect on the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements. 
 
Valuation of investments 
 
The Directors consider that the confirmed NAV of AllBlueand AllBlue Leveraged, as produced by the administrator of those
funds, represents the fair value of the investments in 
 
the Company. Fair value can be confirmed through redemptions, which can occur on a quarterly basis.  These can only be
suspended at the discretion of the board of AllBlueor 
 
AllBlue Leveraged as appropriate. To further satisfy themselves as to the fair value of the investments, the Directors
attendsite visits and scrutinise independent reports prepared by 
 
reputable Audit firms relating to the existence of assets and their valuation as well as checks 
 
and procedures in place withinthe underlying funds and administrator of AllBlue.Different assumptions regarding the
valuation techniques of AllBlue and AllBlue Leveraged could lead to different valuations of the investments being produced
by differentparties.
