Financial Calendar
Interim Report and Accounts sent to shareholders by 28 February 2011. Annual Report and Accounts sent to shareholders by 28 September 2011. Annual General Meeting to be held during October 2011.

Investment Objective and Policy


The Groups investment objective is to seek to provide a total return to shareholders of 10-15% per annum over a rolling 3-year period with annual standard deviation of less than 5%. The Groups investment policy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of asset backed loans and debt made predominantly to, and equity warrants and similar instruments issued predominately by, publicly traded small and micro-cap companies in the US. The exact number of assets and strategies in which the Group invests may vary over time but the Directors expect that the Group will be invested at all times in a minimum of 30 underlying companies. The Company has one Subsidiary, PSD SPV 2, Inc (SPV2), which has been established to hold certain US assets. For reasons of tax efficiency, the Group proposes to make newly originated direct investments and enter into co-investments through this Subsidiary. In prior periods the Company also used another Subsidiary, being PSource Structured Debt SPV1 Limited (SPV1), to make newly originated direct investments and enter into co-investments. On 29 December 2010, when this

Chairmans Statement
Period ended 31 December 2010

It is my pleasure to present the semi-annual report for PSource Structured Debt Limited (the Company or PSD) for the half-year ended 31 December 2010. The past 6-months have continued to be challenging for the Company seeing a return of -5.15% to 31 December 2010. However, there have been steady improvements in key areas including the bank debt, cash realisations from the non-PetroAlgae portfolio, and the progress of PetroAlgae. I would like to discuss each in turn.

PetroAlgae, Inc.
The Companys largest holding is its holding in PetroAlgae (US$81.5 million). PetroAlgae, Inc., a leading Florida-based renewable energy company, licenses a commercial lemna based micro-crop technology system that enables the production of green diesel and a high-value protein food source in an environmentally friendly manner. PSDs holding in PetroAlgae is being held at a valuation of US$11.56 per share as of 31 January 2010. This compares to average trading on the OTC in the year at US$12.16 per share, albeit on thin trading. In early 2010 a process was set in motion to list PetroAlgae on a broader exchange. This move will create the opportunity for PSD to realise the full value of its investment in PetroAlgae although shareholders should understand that it is likely that there can only be a partial realisation at the time of the new listing with the remainder only possible after the expiry of any customary IPO lock-ups required of existing shareholders. I am pleased to note that PetroAlgae filed its draft prospectus (Form S-1) in August. Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Citi are managing this process. Since that time PetroAlgae has announced the signing of one umbrella contract with the Chinese state renewable energy company (CECEP) to build a trial facility in Hainan Province. CECEP has committed to build ten further full size units, each 5,000 hectares, contingent on the success of the trial facility. It is the commercial progress of PetroAlgae, such as the signing of further contracts, which underpins any realisation. We look forward to updating the market as PetroAlgae converts further advanced leads to commercial contracts.

Bank Debt
The terms of the banking facilities have necessarily prioritised paying off the Companys debt and significant progress has been made in this respect. During the 6-month period the Company has reduced its net borrowings from US$8.5 million to US$5.1 million (U$S4.6 million after taking into account brokerage account cash) as at 31 December 2010. At 31 January 2011 the bank debt has been further reduced to US$4.2 million. On 30 November 2010, PSD secured a new 6-month US$8 million US Dollar denominated credit facility with its existing lender, Bank of Scotland, to replace the expiring credit facilities. The reduction in the bank facility and strong nature of the cash flows this calendar year, US$10.4 million in cash receipts in 2010, have enabled the Company to obtain this refinancing on relatively attractive terms.

Cash Realisation Process


The Company is dependent upon liquidity in the US small and micro cap public markets to exercise the warrants in its portfolio and to sell the resultant shares. I am pleased to report that opportunities continue to reveal themselves as the markets recover, and total activity in this area has resulted in significant cash receipts (US$1.9 million) by the Company in the second half of 2010. In particular this has come from the Companys disposal of the majority of its holdings in Mitek and Bioniche. In addition to warrant and share sales, the firm has visibility of cash realisations from a number of identified asset sales and liquidations over the next two quarters significantly in excess of our current indebtedness, although such asset sales have been and remain subject to delays. This is independent of both the PetroAlgae IPO process and any cash realisations from the holdings in Biovest.

Change in Custody Arrangements


Effective from 26 November 2010, the Company migrated its custody and clearing services for its short term trading assets from Fidelity Prime Services to Albert Fried & Company, LLC. In addition, effective 1 December 2010, the Company migrated its trading services from Fidelity to GP Nurmenkari Inc., a New York based trading firm. The purpose of both of the above changes in service providers was to reduce costs for the Company. The Companys main custodian remains Wells Fargo which held all of the

Chairmans Statement continued


Period ended 31 December 2010

Change in Custody Arrangements continued


Companys certificated assets at 31 December 2010, which includes the Companys loan, warrant and PetroAlgae investments. It is clear that the banks in the US continue to reduce lending to small companies. The opportunity set for the strategy remains, therefore, attractive. Prior to this years AGM the Board and Manager intend to liaise with shareholders to ascertain how best to realise value from the strategy. William Scott (Chairman) Date: 21 February 2011

Share Price
Until October 2008, the Companys shares traded at or above NAV. However, the shares have recently fallen to a low of 37p in January 2011. This share price fall was due to a number of factors; a fall in liquidity which affected the entire investment company sector, uncertainty over the Companys banking facilities, the continued suspension of our dividend, and the lack of certainty and timing of a liquidity event from PetroAlgae. The Board shares investor concern and frustration with the level of the share price and has taken such steps as our banking facilities permit to address this. Notably, we believe that progress on extinguishing the bank debt and realising as cash the position in PetroAlgae should remove two of the major factors holding back a restart of distributions and material share repurchases, also key to the share price.

Future prospects for PSource Structured Debt


While a full exit from PetroAlgae is likely to take some time, a successful IPO will unlock a significant initial cash payment which the Company could use for dividends or share buybacks. The Annual General Meeting for PSD occurred in October 2010 and included a continuation vote. The Board believes that the success of this vote has preserved fund value and will enable the shareholders to benefit fully from the planned PetroAlgae IPO. It is the intention of the Board to hold another continuation vote at the next AGM.

Responsibility Statement
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge and in accordance with DTR 4.2.10R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules: a) The financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority and with IAS34 as adopted by the EU, Interim Financial Reporting and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group as at and for the period ended 31 December 2010.

The financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of investments and assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, in accordance with IFRS, The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority. (ii) Functional and Presentation Currency The Groups investors are mainly from the UK, however, the vast majority of underlying investment portfolio is denominated in US Dollars. For this reason the Directors consider the presentation and functional currency of the Group to be US Dollars. As at 31 December 2010 the performance of the Group is measured and reported to investors in US Dollar. The financial information is presented in US Dollars, which is the Groups functional and presentation currency.

Principal Accounting Policies continued:


(a) Basis of Preparation continued (ii) Functional and Presentation Currency continued Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Translation differences on the revaluation of non-functional currency financial instruments are included in net unrealised gains and losses on investments and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. (iii) Judgements and estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results could differ from such estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate was revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The most critical judgements, apart from those involving estimates, that management has made in the process of applying the accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are the functional currency of the Group (see note 2(a)(ii)) and the fair value of investments designated to be at fair value through profit or loss (see note 2(d)(i)). The valuation methods/techniques used in valuing financial instruments involve critical judgements to be made and therefore the actual value of financial instruments could differ significantly from the value disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. (iv) Going concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis taking into account the renewal of banking facilities during the next financial year. The Directors anticipate that the Group will generate further net cash during the twelve months following the date of signing these consolidated financial statements to repay the Companys current bank loan. (v) IFRS New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the current period, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these will have an effect on the financial statements of the Company, with the exception of the following:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, published on 12 November 2009 as part of phase I of the IASBs comprehensive project to replace IAS 39, deals with classification and measurement of financial assets. The requirements of this standard represent a significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39 in respect of financial assets. The standard contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost and fair value. A financial asset would be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the assets contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets would be measured at fair value. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, available for sale and loans and receivables. For an investment in an equity instrument which is not held for trading, the standard permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual share-by-share basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in other comprehensive income. No amount recognised in other comprehensive income would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments are recognised in profit or loss, rather than other comprehensive income unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment. Investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. The standard requires that derivatives embedded in contracts with a host that is a financial asset within the scope of the standard are not separated; instead the hybrid financial instrument is assessed in its entirety as to whether it should be measured at amortised cost or fair value.

(b)

Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its one wholly owned subsidiary made up to 31 December 2010. There are no minority interests in the income or assets of the subsidiary. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary so as to benefit the Company.

(c)

Income: Bank interest, loan interest income and other income are included in these consolidated financial statements on an accruals basis, using the effective interest method. Where interest income falls past due it is assessed for impairment and where impairment is identified a 0-100% provision is made, on a case by case basis after the recoverability of each interest receipt has been assessed. Subordination fee income is included in these consolidated financial statements on an accruals basis and is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Principal Accounting Policies continued:


(d) Investments: The Groups investments comprise loans, fees receivables, royalties, equities, warrants (for listed equities) and options (for listed equities). (i) Classification Equity investments have been designated as fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39 (Revised) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Warrants and penny warrants Investments meet the definition of Derivatives under IAS 39 and have been designated as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39 (Revised) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. They are accounted for as fair value through profit or loss. Investments in loans, royalties and fees receivable have been classified as loans and receivables in accordance with IAS 39 (Revised) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. (ii) Measurement Equities, warrants and penny warrants are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Subsequent to initial recognition, equity, warrants and penny warrants are measured at fair value. Realised gains and losses on disposal of investments, where the disposal proceeds are higher/lower than the book cost of the investment are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising on the fair value of investments are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise. Dividend income, if any, from equity investments is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within dividend income when the Groups right to receive payments is established. Loans, royalties and fee receivables are initially recognised at fair value, which at the point of acquisition is equal to cost, less any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Royalties are measured at the discounted value of future cash flows. Fee receivables are measured at fair value. (iii) Fair Value Estimation Quoted equity investments at fair value through profit or loss are valued at the bid price on the relevant stock exchange. Unquoted investments at fair value through profit and loss are valued in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital valuation guidelines or any other valuation model and techniques which can provide a reasonable estimate of fair value of the investment involved. Warrants and penny warrants are valued based on the listed price of the equity for which the warrants and penny warrants relates and then adjusted using the Black Scholes method. The Directors consider it prudent to apply certain discounts (7% against the value of penny warrants and 30% against the value of standard warrants) when valuing warrants and penny warrants for the purposes of calculating the Companys issued monthly NAV and for these consolidated financial statements due to their illiquid nature and the fact that there is no active market to trade these warrants and penny warrants.

(d) Investments continued: (iii) Fair Value Estimation continued Royalty investments are valued using a discounted cash flows approach, based on the Companys contractually determined portion of projected revenue streams from specific products and/or businesses. When valuing the royalty investments, the Directors consider it prudent to apply a discount that reflects the full risks associated with each specific investment, including but not limited to the certainty of the projected cash flows and the liquidity of the investment. Fee receivables are valued at fair value with fair value being the value of the fee receivables less impairments to reflect the collectability of the fee receivable (see note 2(e)). Loans are valued at amortised cost and reviewed for impairment in accordance with IAS 39 (see note 2(e)). (iv) Recognition/derecognition All regular way purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date - the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. (e) Impairment of financial assets: Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. (f) Expenses: Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash in hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, deposits in bank and overdrafts.

(h) Taxation: The Income Tax Authority of Guernsey has granted the Company exemption from Guernsey income tax under the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 and the income of the Company may be distributed or accumulated without deduction of Guernsey income tax. Exemption under the above mentioned Ordinance entails payment by the Company of an annual fee of 600. It should be noted, however, that interest and dividend income accruing from the Companys investments may be subject to withholding tax in the country of origin. With effect from 1 January 2008 the standard rate of income tax for most companies in Guernsey is zero%. Tax Exempt status continues to exist and the Company has been granted this status for 2010. The Company has not suffered any withholding tax in the period. PSD SPV 2, Inc is a Delaware corporation and subject to US taxation. As such, PSD SPV 2, Inc will suffer taxes on realised capital gains and income generated by assets which it holds, to the extent that pre-tax earnings are not offset by expenses and realised losses. Moreover, as generated by a business wholly-owned by the Company, distributions of pre-tax earnings of PSD SPV 2, Inc to the Company (e.g. any interest payments on intercompany loans) will likely be subject to a withholding tax. To the extent permissible, the Company will seek to minimise the income tax and withholding tax suffered, although for accounting purposes, no benefits have been assumed. A 35% income tax liability is accrued against any income and capital gains accrued by PSD SPV 2, Inc, and a 30% withholding tax liability is accrued against any interest accruals related to intercompany loans between PSD SPV 2, Inc and the Company. An accrued asset of US$17,895 (30 June 2010: US$8,966 liability) associated with income tax rebates and withholding tax rebates related to PSD SPV 2, Inc has been made as at 31 December 2010. (i) Other Receivables and Other Payables: Other receivables are stated at amortised cost less any provision for doubtful debts. Other payables are stated at amortised cost.

As at 31 December 2010 the Directors identified impairment charges on loans and receivables, in accordance with IAS 39, due to an underlying investment filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. This resulted in the investments being written down by a further US$2,193,953 during the period (period ended 31 December 2009: US$2,879,156 write back). This impairment charge is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Due to several restructurings during the period ended 31 December 2009, a number of previously unrealised impairment charges were realised. This resulted in a transfer between unrealised and realised impairments during that period, with a net credit to the movement in unrealised impairment charge of U$2,879,156. Both realised and unrealised impairment charges are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period ended 31 December 2009.

10. Loan and Overdraft:


As at 31 December 2010 the Company had credit facilities with Bank of Scotland plc (Bank of Scotland), in accordance with a facility agreement dated 30 November 2007 and a supplemental restatement facility agreement (utilisation date 1 December 2010). The facilities comprise a US$ 6.5million term note and a US$1.5 million committed overdraft. The key terms of these facilities are as follows: Facility available for 6 months from 1 December 2010; Interest is chargeable at a rate of the US 3 month LIBOR plus 5.0% per annum; Arrangement fee of US$75,000; No fixed amortisation; Cash sweep equal to 80% of monthly free cashflow; No net debt/gross asset covenants; Margin ratchet applicable based on repayment schedule set out in agreement; and Dividend payments by the Company may be permitted subject to approval by Bank of Scotland.

A further condition to the amendment and restatement of the facility agreement (utilisation date 1 December 2010), the Companys subsidiary, PSD SPV 2, Inc. (SPV2), would accede to the facility agreement as a guarantor and grant security over its assets in favour of the Bank. In turn, the Company was required to grant security over its shares in SPV2 in favour of the Bank. As at 31 December 2010 the Companys outstanding loan balance was US$6,500,000 (30 June 2010: US$7,484,003) and the overdraft balance was US$1 (30 June 2010: US$1,136,519). The above credit facility is secured against the Companys investment portfolio.

On 27 July 2007, an ordinary resolution was passed at an extraordinary general meeting of the Shareholders approving the cancellation of the entire amount which will stand to the credit of the share premium account immediately after the Placing, conditionally upon the issue of the Shares and the payment in full thereof and with respect to any further issue of Shares. The cancellation was confirmed by the Royal Court on 25 January 2008 that the surplus thereby created formed a distributable reserve. By a resolution dated 2 November 2009, the holders of the Subscriber Shares in the Company granted the Company the authority to make market purchases of up to 14.99% of its own issued Ordinary Shares. A renewal of the authority to make purchases of Ordinary Shares is sought from Shareholders at each annual general meeting of the Company. Following closing of an Offer for Subscription on 18 June 2008, the Placing and the Offer raised 26.53 million (net of placing costs) and on 20 June 2008 24,154,681 additional Ordinary Shares in the Company were admitted to the Official List of the London Stock Exchange. On 30 July 2008 the Company issued 5,410,000 Ordinary Shares of no par value, representing 9.9% of the Ordinary Shares in issue. These Ordinary Shares were issued and admitted to the Official List on the London Stock Exchange for trading on the same day. Re-Designation of Sterling Shares into US Dollar Shares On 30 January 2009, a special resolution was passed by the shareholders so that the sterling currency of all of the issued Sterling Shares of the Sterling Class be re-designated into the U.S. Dollar currency in accordance with article 3.12 of the Companys Articles of Association at an exchange rate of US$1.4593/ calculated as at 31 December 2008.

A penny warrant is a derivative financial instrument with similar economic characteristics to the underlying equity instrument which gives the right, but not the obligation to buy a specific amount of a given stock, at a specified price (strike price) during a specified period (American option) or on a specific date (European option). The fair value of the penny warrants are included in options classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss disclosed in note (b) above. All the penny warrants the Group owns have an exercise price of US$0.01 or less (quasi equities) and are valued at a 7% discount to net intrinsic value (see note 2(d) (iii)).

A warrant is a derivative financial instrument which gives the right, but not the obligation to buy a specific amount of a given stock, at a specified price (strike price) during a specified period (American option) or on a specific date (European option). The fair value of warrants are included in warrants classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss disclosed in note (b) above. The warrants are valued at a 30% discount to Black Scholes value (see note 2(d) (iii)). Forward foreign currency swaps As at 31 December 2010 and 30 June 2010, the Group had no outstanding forward foreign currency swaps. In accordance with the Groups scheme particulars the Group may invest in forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of efficient portfolio management.

15. Financial Risk Management:


Strategy in Using Financial Instruments: The Group's investment objective is to seek to provide a total return of 10-15% per annum over a rolling 3-year period with annual standard deviation of less than 5%, primarily through investing in a diversified portfolio of asset backed loans made predominantly to publicly traded small and micro-cap companies and equity warrants issued predominantly by publicly traded small and micro-cap companies. The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value, interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Groups overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Groups financial performance. These policies include the use of certain financial derivative instruments. The risk management policies employed by the Group to manage these risks are discussed below. Market Price Risk: Market price risk results mainly from the uncertainty about future prices of financial instruments held. It represents the potential loss the Group may suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements and changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates, with the maximum risk resulting from financial instruments being determined by the fair value of the financial instruments. The Groups investment portfolio is monitored by the Investment Manager, Investment Consultant and the Directors in pursuance of the investment objectives.

15. Financial Risk Management continued:


Market Price Risk continued: All investments present a risk of loss of capital. The profitability of a significant portion of the Groups investment program depends to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of movements in interest rates, currencies and other investments. There can be no assurance that the Investment Manager will be able to predict accurately these price movements. The Investment Manager moderates this risk through a careful selection of securities and other financial instruments within specified limits. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is determined by the fair value of the financial instruments. The Groups portfolio and investment strategy is reviewed continuously by the Investment Manager, Investment Consultant and on a quarterly basis by the Board and the Manager. By their nature, the Groups equity investments at fair value through profit and loss, and, warrants and penny warrants investments held for trading are directly exposed to market price risk. The Groups investments in loans and receivables are not directly subject to market price risk in the same way as equities and derivatives. By their nature there is no upside in the value of loans and receivables. However market conditions may dictate that loan investments need to be impaired. The Groups exposure to this risk is dealt with under credit risk. The following details the Groups sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in market prices of equities, with 5% being the sensitivity rate used when reporting price risk internally to key management personnel and representing managements assessment of the possible changes in market prices. At 31 December 2010, the Groups market risk is affected by four main components: changes in actual market prices, credit risk, interest rate and foreign currency movements. Credit risk, interest rate and foreign currency movements are covered below. A 5% increase in the value of equity investments, with all other variables held constant, would bring about 4.19% or US$4,476,206 (30 June 2010: 4.11% or US$4,631,776) increase in net assets attributable to equity shareholders. If the value of equity investments had been 5% lower, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to equity shareholders would have fallen by a 4.19% or US$4,476,206 (30 June 2010: 4.11% or US$4,631,776). Warrants and penny warrants by their nature may be more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying equity instrument dependent upon a number of factors including time to expiry and whether or not they are in the money. A 5% increase in the value of underlying equity prices for derivatives held, with all other variables held constant, would bring about a 0.19% or US$203,037 (30 June 2010: 0.17% or US$192,761) increase in net assets attributable to equity shareholders. A 5% decrease in the value of underlying equity prices for derivatives held, with all other variables held constant, would bring about a 0.19% or US$198,559 (30 June 2010: 0.16% or US$185,945) decrease in net assets attributable to equity shareholders. Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment that it has entered into with the Group, resulting in financial loss to the Group. To the extent the Group invests in derivative instruments, certain types of options or other customised financial instruments or non-UK securities, the Group takes the risk of non-performance by the other party to the contract. This risk may include credit risk of the counterparty and the risk of settlement default. This risk may differ materially from those entailed in UK exchange-traded transactions which generally are supported by guarantees of clearing organisations, daily marking-to-market and settlement, and segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries. Transactions entered directly between two counterparties generally do not benefit from such protections and expose the parties to the risk of counterparty default. In addition, there are risks involved in dealing with the custodians or brokers who settle trades particularly with respect to non-UK investments.

33

15. Financial Risk Management continued:


Credit Risk continued: At the reporting date financial assets exposed to credit risk include loan instruments, receivables and derivatives disclosed in note 14 to these financial statements. It is the opinion of the Board of Directors that the maximum exposure to credit risk that the Group faces is equal to the carrying value of these financial instruments held by the Group. The loan and receivable instruments are private loans and receivables with the underlying counterparties and as such do not have associated agency credit ratings. To mitigate the credit risk on these loan and receivable instruments the Directors consider impairment on an ongoing basis also taking into consideration the results of any reviews performed by Clayton. Clayton is employed to review a sample the of loan and receivable instruments on a monthly basis and report to the Board of Directors/Investment Manager any issues with regards to the valuation of the loan and receivable instruments in accordance with the Independent Valuation Consultants Agreement. Any impairment on the loan and receivable instruments is written off to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. As at 31 December 2010, impairment charges totaling US$9,122,898 (30 June 2010: US$6,928,945) had been written off to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income since the Group commenced trading (see note 2(e)). The credit risk on cash transactions and transactions involving derivative financial instruments is mitigated by transacting with counterparties that are regulated entities subject to prudential supervision, or with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. In accordance with the investment restrictions as described in its Placing Document, the Group may not invest more than 10% of its total assets in any one underlying company (calculated at the time of any relevant investment being made). As at 31 December 2010, the following amounts on debt instruments were past due: 31 December 2010 US$ Principal default Interest default 3,215,977 14,511 30 June 2010 US$ 2,150,820 140,187

The Group has entered into certain agreements with affiliates of the Investment Manager in which the Group and the affiliates have investments in the same loan instruments. The Group has agreed to alter the allocation of cash principal and interest repayments in the event of a restructuring or liquidation of the entity in which the Group and affiliate(s) are invested. The agreements provide for the Group to receive upfront consideration from the affiliate(s) in exchange for reallocating the cash liquidation proceeds received by the Investment Manager in respect of the loan securities first to the affiliate(s) and secondly to the Group. This reallocation applies only to regular principal and interest, and not to any contingent amounts including default interest and fees. The Group has mitigated the credit risk of these certain agreements by only entering into agreements related to loan instruments in which the collateral and/or operating strength of the invested companies was sufficiently in excess of the loan amounts outstanding such that doing so did not materially alter the credit risk of the loan instruments held by the Group. This determination of whether the loan instruments were sufficiently collateralised was made by Clayton IPS Corporation at the time of the agreements, and Clayton IPS Corporation continues to evaluate the loan instruments in the context of these agreements. As at 31 December 2010, of the total loans held by the Group of US$23,183,468 (30 June 2010: US$30,031,017), US$10,859,960 (30 June 2010: US$10,902,976) were subordinated.

15. Financial Risk Management continued:


Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter in realising assets or otherwise raising funds to meet financial commitments. The Group invests in loan notes and warrants that are not liquid and there may not be any secondary market for these instruments. Even though the warrants are generally convertible into securities listed on the national securities exchanges, quoted on NASDAQ or traded in the over-the counter markets or other markets (eg pink sheets). The instruments themselves are not liquid. In addition, the Groups assets (including the loan notes) may, at any given time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations which are very thinly traded or for which no market exists or which are restricted as to their transferability under applicable securities laws. The sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts. Further, such investments may be extremely difficult to value with any degree of certainty. The Group may also invest in private placements and other similar issues of securities (including investments in privately held companies). This may involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses. In addition, there is no existing market for the purchase and sale of such investments and the Group may not be able to readily sell such investments. Such investments may be subject to greater economic, business and market risks than the marketable securities of more well-established companies. While the Investment Manager will attempt to spread the Groups assets among a number of investments in accordance with the investment policies adopted by the Group, at times the Group may hold a relatively small number of investments each representing a relatively large portion of the Groups net assets. Losses incurred in such investments could have a materially adverse effect on the Groups overall financial condition. Whilst the Groups portfolio is diversified in terms of the companies in which it invests, the investment portfolio of the Group may be subject to more rapid change in value than would be the case if the Group were required to maintain a wide diversification among types of securities, countries and industry groups. In particular the Group is exposed to its large holdings in Petrotech Holdings/PetroAlgae which constitutes 70.57% (30 June 2010: 64.92%) of the investment portfolio as at 31 December 2010. At any given time, the Group may have significant investment in smaller and medium sized companies of a less seasoned nature whose securities are traded in the over-the-counter market. These secondary securities often involve significantly greater risks than the securities of larger, better known companies. Such securities may not be liquid and there may be only a limited market for such securities. The Groups liquidity risk exposure is moderated by the careful selection of securities and other financial instruments by the investment Manager. The Groups portfolio and investment strategy is reviewed continuously by the Investment Manager and on a quarterly basis by the Board. In addition the Directors will seek to review capital requirements on an annual basis. The Groups principal financial commitment is its indebtedness to Bank of Scotland plc (the Bank) which facilities are due to expire on 31 May 2011. In the event that the Groups indebtedness to the Bank has not been extinguished and a replacement facility is not agreed with effect from that date, there is a risk that the Bank could enforce its security over the Groups portfolio which could result in losses for shareholders. Given the significant reduction in the size of the banking facility required by the Company during the current period and prior year, the Board currently anticipates that the facilities will not need to be renewed.

Interest Rate Risk: The Group is exposed to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial instruments and future cash flows. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it invests in loan instruments bearing interest at both fixed and floating interest rates. Other financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk include borrowings which are invested at long term interest rates and cash and cash equivalents which are invested at short term rates. The Investment Manager manages the Groups exposure to interest rate risk daily in accordance with the Groups investment objectives and policies, as disclosed on page 3. The Groups overall exposure to interest rate risk is monitored regularly by the Board of Directors. The table below summarises the Groups exposure to interest rate risk: 31 December 2010 Weighted average effective interest rate Total % US$ Assets Fixed rate equity (preference share holdings) Fixed interest rate unlisted loan instruments Floating interest rate unlisted loan instruments Floating interest rate cash and cash equivalents Non-interest bearing Total assets Liabilities Floating interest rate cash and cash equivalents Floating interest rate loan Non-interest bearing Total liabilities 30 June 2010 Weighted average effective interest rate %

The analysis below has been determined based on the Groups exposure to interest rates for interest bearing assets and liabilities (included in the interest rate exposure table above) at the reporting date. The Groups interest bearing assets are comprised of fixed rate equity preference share instruments, fixed and floating rate loan instruments and floating rate cash and cash equivalents. The floating rate assets are generally indexed on US Prime. As of 31 December 2010, 63% (30 June 2010: 70%) of the floating rate loans have an interest rate floor, with an average floor of 7.46% (30 June 2010: 8.00%). In contrast, the interest rate of these loans in absence of the floor provisions would have been 2.25% (30 June 2010: 2.67%) lower. Therefore, the majority of the interest income generated by the Group is not sensitive to normal changes in interest rates. An immediate 200 basis point drop in US Prime would cause the yield on the interest bearing assets to fall by zero basis points or US$392 (30 June 2010: 0.1 basis points or US$622). Conversely, an immediate 200 basis point increase in US Prime would cause the yield on the interest bearing assets to increase by 3.7 basis points or US$39,168 (30 June 2010: 0.3 basis points or US$3,886).

Interest Rate Risk continued: The Groups interest bearing liabilities are comprised of floating rate cash and cash equivalents and floating rate loans. The floating rate loans are comprised of loans that are indexed on US LIBOR with a margin of 500 basis points, and reset either monthly or quarterly. The change in yield on these liabilities therefore changes directly with changes in US LIBOR. The 3 month US LIBOR as at 31 December 2010 was 0.26% (30 June 2010: 0.35%) an immediate drop to zero in the US LIBOR on the interest bearing liabilities would cause net assets attributable to equity holders to increase by US$17,104 or 0.02% (30 June 2010: US$30,248 or 0.03%) on an annualised basis due to the reduction in interest payable on floating rate interest bearing liabilities. Conversely, an immediate 200 basis point increase in US LIBOR would cause net assets attributable to equity holders to decrease by US$130,000 or 0.12% (30 June 2010: US$172,410 or 0.15%) on an annualised basis due to the increase in interest payable on floating rate interest bearing liabilities. As a result of low interest rates generally causing the floating rate loan asset yields to be based upon their floor rates, marginal increases of interest rates up to approximately 3% would only marginally increase net income on interest bearing assets less expenses on interest bearing liabilities, with a cumulative increase of approximately US$49,238 (30 June 2010: US$11,571 decrease) on an annualised basis if rates increased by 3%. Foreign Currency Risk: Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a foreign currency financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. As at 31 December 2010 the Groups assets are invested predominately in securities and other investments that are denominated in the same currency as the reporting currency. Accordingly the Group is at low risk to fluctuations in foreign exchange rate. However, should this change the Group has the ability to manage any significant exposure to foreign currencies through forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure back to US Dollar. As at 31 December 2010 there was no open currency hedging (30 June 2010: none). PSD was originally a Sterling denominated fund investing principally in US Dollar assets, with the foreign exchange risk hedged out using a rolling swap programme. During the second half of 2008 Sterling fell in value by 27% against the US Dollar. The result of this foreign exchange movement increased the Sterling value of the Groups US Dollar assets but also created a significant cash settlement liability on the foreign exchange contracts which exceeded the natural cash inflow from the Groups portfolio. PSD stopped hedging on 12 December 2008 and the reporting currency was changed from Sterling to US Dollars, as agreed by shareholders at an EGM at the end of January 2009. Following from these changes, the significant majority of the Groups assets and liabilities, and shareholder equity are dominated in US Dollars, significantly reducing the foreign currency risk of the Group. On 1 December 2010, PSD secured new US Dollar denominated credit facilities with its existing lender, Bank of Scotland plc, to replace its previous US$7.5 million reducing facility and a US$1.5 million committed overdraft. Bank of Scotland plc agreed to a US$6.5 million facility and a US$1.5 million committed overdraft. The cost of the debt is 500bps over 3 month US LIBOR (currently 0.263131%) with monthly repayments equal to 80% of monthly free cash flow.

Currency Exposure: As at 31 December 2010 the majority of the net assets of the Group are denominated in US Dollars. The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities are as follows: Assets 31 December 2010 US$ British Pound Canadian Dollar Euro US Dollars 105,514 278,785 8 118,944,816 119,329,123 Assets 30 June 2010 US$ British Pound Canadian Dollar Euro US Dollars 38,253 196,729 8 127,087,036 127,322,026 Liabilities 31 December 2010 US$ (130,198) (1) (12,297,801) (12,428,000) Liabilities 30 June 2010 US$ (187,525) (1) (14,426,376) (14,613,902) Net 31 December 2010 US$ (24,684) 278,784 8 106,647,015 106,901,123 Net 30 June 2010 US$ (149,272) 196,728 8 112,660,660 112,708,124

The Group has no significant currency risk. The Group has the ability to implement a policy of currency hedging. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the sensitivity of the Groups outstanding foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities to a 10% increase/decrease in the US Dollar to Sterling, Euro and Canadian Dollar, translated at the year end date. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents managements assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. As at 31 December 2010 if US Dollar had weakened by 10% against Sterling, Euro and Canadian Dollar, with all other variables held constant, the increase in net assets attributable to Ordinary Shareholders would have been US$25,411 or 0.02% (30 June 2010: US$4,746 or 0.00%) higher. Conversely, if US Dollar had strengthened by 10% against the Sterling, Euro and Canadian Dollar with all other variables held constant, the increase in net assets attributable to equity shareholders would have been US$25,411 or 0.02% (30 June 2010: US$4,476 or 0.00%) lower. As at 31 December 2010, the Groups sensitivity to foreign currency risk is low due to the majority of the net assets of the Company are denominated in US Dollars.

Concentration Risk: While the Investment Manager will attempt to spread the Groups assets among a number of investments in accordance with the investment policies adopted by the Group, at times the Group may hold a relatively small number of investments each representing a relatively large portion of the Groups net assets. Losses incurred in such investments could have a materially adverse effect on the Groups overall financial condition. Whilst the Groups portfolio is diversified in terms of the companies in which it invests, the investment portfolio of the Group may be subject to more rapid change in value than would be the case if the Group were required to maintain a wide diversification among types of securities, countries and industry groups. Please refer to the Analysis of Significant Investments and Portfolio Analysis that follows the Notes to Financial Statements and the Liquidity Risk section of note 15. Classification of Fair Value Measurements: The Company adopted the amendment to IFRS 7, effective 1 January 2009. This requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2); and Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, the measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. The determination of what constitutes observable requires significant judgement by the Company. The Company considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy the Companys financial assets (by class) measured at fair value at 31 December 2010: Fair Value as at 31 December 2010 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total US$ US$ US$ US$ Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Equity securities Warrants Penny warrants

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified within level 1, include active listed equities. No adjustments are made to the quoted price for these instruments. None of the Companys investments are categorised as level 1 financial assets. Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within level 2. As level 2 investments may include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information. Investments classified within level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. Level 3 instruments include unquoted equity instruments which the Company values in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital valuation guidelines or any other valuation model and techniques which can provide a reasonable estimate of fair value of the investment involved. The Company considers liquidity, credit and other market risk factors. The table below provides a reconciliation from brought forward to carried forward balances of financial instruments categorised under level 3: 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010 Equity securities Penny warrants Total US$ US$ US$ 87,521,003 (2,456,621) 57,228 85,121,610 166,978 166,978 87,687,981 (2,456,621) 57,228 85,288,588

16. Dividends:
At inception, it was the Groups intention to pay an annual dividend (paid gross quarterly) of not less than 5 pence per Ordinary Share (or its equivalent in US Dollars) in its first year growing by 0.5 pence per Ordinary Share (or its equivalent in US Dollars) per annum in its second and third years. Although this was achieved in respect of the first accounting period of the Group, a breach of the Group's banking facilities led to the suspension of dividends during the current period and prior year. It is the Boards intention to resume dividends at a sustainable level as soon as practicable. All dividends in prior periods were paid from the Groups reserves.

17. Significant Investment Holding:


PetroAlgae/PetroTech Holdings Inc. The Group has a significant holding in PetroTech Holdings Inc, a Delaware corporation. PetroTech Holdings Inc is a privately held holding company whose principal asset at 31 December 2010 was 100,000,000 shares (30 June 2010: 100,000,000 shares) of the common stock of PetroAlgae, Inc (PetroAlgae). PetroAlgae is a renewable energy company based in Florida which is registered with the SEC and quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (PALG.OB), following a reverse merger into a quoted shell in December 2008. The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. Technology and Commercial progress PetroAlgae was founded in 2006 based on technology developed at the University of Arizona over the previous decade. PetroAlgae is an early stage company which has developed and is licensing new technologies to enable the global production of renewable energy. The Company is based in Melbourne Florida and has a 20 acre pilot facility. PetroAlgaes approach is to select the most suitable microorganism for each specific location (indigenous to the region), and then apply PetroAlgaes distinct proprietary processes to significantly increase output to 2 or 3 times that found naturally. Suitable microorganisms include macro-algae, micro-algae, diatoms, micro-angiosperms, cyanobacters and other small fuel and food-producing organisms of extremely rapid exponential growth.

Technology and Commercial progress continued PetroAlgae is licensing a modular bioreactor system which can be built and operated cost-effectively on a very large commercial scale. The primary product derived from this system is feedstock for the production of fuel in existing oil refineries. However, a complimentary co-product produced in production of these feedstocks is high-quality proteins, which can be used for animal feed or human consumption. PetroAlgae is commercialising a licensing methodology which includes significant upfront payments without incurring costs related to capital expenditures. PetroAlgae intends for revenue to be realized through licensing fees and royalties. PetroAlgae has achieved a number of significant milestones. At the end of 2009 PetroAlgae entered into a Master License Agreement with Green Science Energy LLC for the use of its proprietary technology to produce biofuels in Egypt. This agreement generated US$4 million, the first commercial cash flow for PetroAlgae. PetroAlgae is in commercial discussions with over 300 active prospects spanning 40 countries around the globe, with numerous qualified business discussions having arisen from over 100 corporate visits to its pilot plant. While sales cycles for large licensing deals are long, the Company has recently signed a number of non-binding Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) from among the many qualified business discussions. PetroAlgae and these potential licensees agree to negotiate a final license contract. Nonetheless, key contract terms that are generally set forth in the stated MOUs may change pending final negotiations; moreover the negotiations may not always result in a final contract. The following are certain groups that have reached the MOU stage: Memorandums of Understanding China (CECIC/CECEP): In March 2009, PetroAlgae entered into a Master Licensing Agreement with GTB Power Enterprise Ltd. to construct and operate at least ten separate 5,000 hectares license units for the production of microcrop biomass in China. In December 2009, PetroAlgae entered into a strategic MOU with the China Energy Conservation Investment Corporation (CECIC) whereby the parties contemplate that CECIC would acquire the Master License Agreement for China from GTB Power Enterprise Ltd. Its intent, in supporting the anticipated transfer to CECIC is to accelerate PetroAlgaes penetration of Chinas renewable energy market. CECIC, a State owned corporation with over 11,000 employees, was established in 1988 to invest in energy saving technologies and infrastructures. Thus far, CECIC has undertaken more than 3,000 major projects in the areas of energy-efficiency, environmental protection (treatment of waste gas, solid waste and waste gas), and renewable energy production (wind, solar, and biomass). In October 2010, PetroAlgae announced the agreement of a contract with CECEP (the new translation of CECIC) of China to build a pilot facility through the finalisation of a pilot facility agreement and a master framework agreement. Under the terms of the pilot facility agreement, CECEP will pay for the construction of a pilot facility. Following the successful running of the pilot facility and other conditions being met, CECEP is committed to construct a minimum of 10 units over a ten year period.

Technology and Commercial progress continued Memorandums of Understanding continued Indonesia: In December 2009, PetroAlgae signed an MOU to lead to the license of the Companys proprietary micro-crop technology to the largest conglomerate in Indonesia. This prospects various businesses cover a range of activities including palm oil, property development, leisure and agriculture. The MOU contemplates that this group would initially build a partial license unit to demonstrate the commercial viability of producing renewable fuels in Indonesia through the use of PetroAlgaes technology. Upon achieving success, the remaining portion of the full license unit 5,000 hectares or 12,355 acres) would be built for the large scale production of biofuels. Indian Oil: In November 2009 PetroAlgae entered into an agreement to license its proprietary micro-crop technology to Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) for its future large-scale production of renewable fuels. Under the terms of the MoU and the license agreement to be completed, IOCL will build a pilot facility to demonstrate the commercial viability of producing renewable fuels from micro-crops. Upon achieving success, the pilot facility is expected to lead to the completion of a licensed unit for large-scale production of renewable fuels by IOCL. Partnership with Foster Wheeler: In December 2009 PetroAlgae announced today that it signed an MOU with Foster Wheeler AGs (Nasdaq: FWLT) Global Engineering and Construction Group for engineering services to be performed in conjunction with PetroAlgaes micro-crop technology, which allows for the production of dry biomass at an unprecedented scale. PetroAlgae intends to work with Foster Wheeler to develop commercial solutions that will allow existing oil refineries to convert micro-crop biomass into fuels that are functionally compatible with petroleumbased fuels in the current market. For refineries, the solutions are expected to provide strong economics from the large-scale processing of PetroAlgaes micro-crop biomass into green fuels. The two firms will create end-to-end market solutions for the large-scale production of green gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and specialty chemicals. On 28 September 2010 Foster Wheeler AG announced that it had completed its initial testing of PetroAlgae's biomass, with encouraging results. The biomass, produced at PetroAlgae's micro-crop farm in the U.S., was being tested as a delayed coker feedstock supplement to provide renewable biofuels to the market. Testing was conducted at a state-of-the-art commercial coker testing facility operated by the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences at the University of Tulsa (Oklahoma). The combination of PetroAlgae's proprietary patent-pending biomass production system, and Foster Wheeler's SYDECSM delayed coking technology, is being designed with the intent to allow the delayed coker to incorporate biomass into the coker feedstock, with minimal configuration changes to an existing unit. Testing was conducted to demonstrate that the biomass is an effective add-in complement to vacuum residue coker feedstock, and does not significantly affect overall coker operations. The initial test results demonstrate that biomass, mixed with vacuum residue, yields additional valuable hydrocarbons as a result of biomass carbohydrate and lipid decomposition. Further testing and engineering development is underway to optimize process parameters and feedstock blend ratios. AIQ: In April 2010 PetroAlgae announced that it signed an MOU with Asesorias e Inversiones Quilicura (AIQ), a major shareholder in Subus Chile S.A., that is expected to enable the development in Chile of a micro-crop technology system for the large-scale production of green gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Under the agreement, AIQ has acquired an option to purchase from PetroAlgae a standard license to build a full micro-crop technology system for commercially producing biofuels and high-value protein.

Technology and Commercial progress continued Memorandums of Understanding continued Eco-Frontier: In July 2010 PetroAlgae announced that it had signed a Non-Binding Commercial Offtake Agreement with Eco-Frontier, a leading cleantech management firm and Asian renewable energy developer based in Seoul, Korea. Eco-Frontier expressed its willingness to establish a market for biocrude products produced by the PetroAlgae system for use in co-firing energy applications in Korea and in other markets. Depending on the satisfaction of a number of different conditions, Eco-Frontier would be prepared to commit to purchase from PetroAlgaes licensees up to 850,000 metric tons of biocrude over a three year period beginning in 2012. Sky Airline: In October 2010, PetroAlgae announced that it had signed a non-binding offtake agreement with Sky Airline, a leading Chilean airline providing passenger, mail and cargo transport services. Subject to certain conditions, Sky Airlines and PetroAlgae have agreed to collaborate to enable Sky Airline to purchase fuel feedstock produced by licensees of PetroAlgae technology for conversion into renewable jet fuel. Valuation The Group owns 8.24% (30 June 2010: 8.24%) of the common stock and US$7.2 million (30 June 2010: US$7.2 million) in preferred stock in PetroTech Holdings Inc. The preferred stock is held at par plus accrued interest. The common stock is valued based on an assessment of the realisable value of PetroAlgae Inc. PetroTech Holdings Inc received PetroAlgae shares in a private placement that occurred in December 2008, and it is therefore subject to restrictions on the sale of the securities. There is limited liquidity in the market for shares of PetroAlgae. The shares have traded between US$3.25 per share and US$40 per share since trading commenced in December 2008. Since 1 September 2009, the shares have traded mainly in a range of US$10-25 per share. PSD initially valued the PetroAlgae (PALG) shares in PetroTech Holdings Corp at last trade and then at 1 month volume weighted average trading price (1mo VWAP), although the carrying value was therefore subject to high volatility that resulted from thin trading and illiquidity, and it was therefore deemed imprudent from a valuation standpoint. Multiple observable reference points are available to assist with determining a fair carrying value for the PALG shares, most notably the OTC trading data (bid, last trade, 1mo and 6mo VWAP) and the on-going private placement trades. From 31 October 2009 to 31 January 2010, following discussions with Clayton, the Group had based its valuation of PetroTech Holdings Inc common stock on a weighted average of i) the private placement-implied PetroAlgae share price of US$6.59 resulting from private subscriptions in excess of US$20 million, and ii) the 1mo VWAP of PetroAlgae shares in the OTC market. The weighting ascribed to each component had been determined by the following schedule. Private Placement Implied Price Weight 91.7% 83.3% 75.0% 66.7%

*Note: PSD Carrying Value does not include accrued dividends which accrue at 9% per annum on the PetroTech Preferred Stock. As of 31 December 2010, accrued dividends totaled US$1,607,599 (30 June 2010: US$1,276,468). Following statements made by PetroAlgae related to its stated intention to move to a broader stock exchange, the PSD Board believes it appropriate to hold the valuation of PetroAlgae shares in PSD constant from the 31 January 2010 NAV at US$11.56, until further material valuation information is made available on this process. Technology and Commercial Progress On 5 November 2010 the Aquaculture Research Institute at the University of Idaho announced that it had found that PetroAlgae protein concentrate (PPC) produced as a co-product along with the renewable fuel feedstock by the companys micro-crop technology system can replace menhaden fishmeal protein at levels up to 100% in feeds for tilapia. The study also found that PPC would be suitable as a fishmeal replacement for other farmed fish species. Prospects The Directors continue to monitor PetroAlgae with a view to its commercial progress and the liquidity in the stock. In particular, the Directors will look to any significant capital markets transactions that PetroAlgae may undertake in the future as an important indicator of value. Longer term, the Group continues to examine, together with its Investment Manager and Investment Consultant, the best options for realising its significant holding in PetroAlgae Inc. PSource Capital Guernsey Limited, the Manager of the Company, is acting as an advisor to PetroAlgae Inc in its proposed IPO.
