Notes:
Alternative Performance Measures (APM) definitions used in the Annual Report are as follows:
1. Total Assets : Total assets are defined as total assets less current liabilities.
2. Debt at par or fair value : Par value is the carrying value of the debenture which will equate to the nominal value at maturity. Fair value is the estimated market value the Company would pay (on the relevant reporting date), as a willing buyer, to a debenture holder, as a willing seller, in an arms-length transaction.
3. Net Asset Value : The Net Asset Value (NAV) is the value of all of the Company's assets less all liabilities. The NAV is usually expressed as an amount per share.
4. Gearing and Potential Gearing : Gearing represents the amount of borrowing that a company has and is calculated using the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) guidance. It is usually expressed as a percentage of equity shareholders' funds and a positive percentage or ratio above one shows the extent of the level of borrowings. Gearing is calculated as borrowings less net current assets to arrive at a net borrowings figure. Potential Gearing excludes cash from the calculation. Details of the calculation for the Company are in note 22.
5. Total Return : Total returns include any dividends paid as well as capital returns as a result of an increase or decrease in a company's share price or NAV.
6. Ongoing Charges Ratio (OCR) : Ongoing charges are a measure of the regular ongoing administration costs of running a company, as calculated in accordance with AIC guidance. Further information is shown in the Business Review section of the Strategic Report.
7. Adjusted Capital and Reserves : This is as defined in the debenture Trust Deed. It essentially removes unrealised gains from the Company's reserves (see investment policy.
8. Adjusted Equity Shareholders' Funds : Equity Shareholders' Funds restated to include debt at its fair value, rather than par value (see note 22).
