Notes:

1. Units invested in the FSP Equities Leaders Fund are valued at the audited unit price published by the investment manager, FSP Equities Management Limited, as at month end – the unit price reflects the net asset backing of the fund; there is no buy/sell spread price; there is no recognition of realisation costs as there are no exit fees charged on redemption of units.

2. The post-tax NTA backing per share figure is reported net of provision for tax liabilities on realised and unrealised gains on investments, in accordance with the Company’s income tax accounting policy (refer note 1.6 (Summary of Accounting Policies – Income Tax) at page 29 of the Company’s 2012 Annual Report released on ASX on 23 October 2012).

3. Bentley’s current accounting policy is to recognise deferred tax assets arising from its carried forward tax losses and its unrealised loss on investments only to the extent of offsetting any deferred tax liabilities arising from its unrealised gains on investments.

4. Bentley’s current accounting policy uses the first in-first out method of calculating gains or losses on sales of share investments.
