Background

The Company was formed as the Malta New Issues Investment Co. Limited on 29 April 1963. The Company's name was changed on 11 May 1965 to Malta Shareholdings Limited when the Company was converted to a public company with the objects of carrying on the business of a finance trust in all branches. The name was changed again on 29 September 1978 to Santumas Shareholdings Limited. The Company's objects also provided for property development, with the main property development being the Santumas Estate at Marsascala.

Calpabrin Properties (Investments) Limited merged into Santumas Shareholdings Limited on 2 April 1987 and Marsascala Development Limited and Santumas Contractors Limited merged into Santumas Shareholdings Limited on 15 December 1989.

On 9 May 1996, the Company was licensed as a Collective Investment Scheme under the Investment Services Act. Cap. 370 of the Laws of Malta Financial Services Centre. The Company was registered as a public limited liability company under the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta on 24 December 1997, thereby changing its name to Santumas Shareholdings plc.

On 12 December 2003, the Company's shares were accepted for listing on the Malta Stock Exchange.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The directors submit their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2012.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the Company during the year continued to be the carrying out of investment activities as a Collective Investment Scheme as licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority.

Results and dividends

The Statement of Comprehensive Income is set out on page 10. The current economic situation within the eurozone area and beyond, with austerity packages across the board being seen as the immediate solution to current woes, is inevitably having a downward effect on international equity markets. The Malta Stock Exchange has not been immune from the effects of this austerity led drive with a consequential reduction in the levels of demand for local listed Companies as investors look to government backed securities as a preferable safe haven for their money. This general downward pressure has adversely effected the value of the Company's equity holdings and the short term outlook does not appear to offer with the potential for short term economic growth uncertain at best. With this in mind, the directors do not at this stage consider the payment of a dividend to be appropriate however the dividend position will be reviewed at the half year stage.

The loss before tax for the year amounted to EUR202,336 as compared to a profit before tax of EUR21,611 for the corresponding period last year. There was a tax charge of EUR88,349 as against a charge of EUR77.575 for the previous year. The income which is subject to tax consists in the main of investment income which has remained at much the same level to the previous year. The year did not result in a lesser income tax expense due to the fact that fair value gains and losses, which are unrealised, are not subject to tax. The net loss for the year ended 30 April 2012 was therefore EUR290,685 as against a loss of EUR55,964 for the year ended 30 April 2011.

Review of the business

With a fall in the MSE Index from 3,346.04 as at 30 April 2011 to 2,969.16 as at 30 April 2012 the local equity portfolio has seen a drop of EUR426,093 in its fair value. This is an unrealized loss and as such the Company. although aware that an immediate short term recovery is unlikely, retains full confidence in the long term viability of the local equity market.

Dividend and interest income over the twelve months has been broadly in line with the previous year's levels with interest income seeing a slight increase due to longer deposit time of the Company's term deposits.

Property

There has been no significant purchase or sale of property for the twelve months to 30 April 2012.

As required by the Company Prospectus, the Company's property holdings were last professionally revalued as at 30 April 2011.

Malta Stock Exchange

In line with previous years, trading in Company shares has been extremely thin throughout the twelve month period under review. As at 30 April 2012, the share price stood at EUR1.80 (2011: EUR2.57) and was still at this level as at 30 July 2012. Over the year, the share price traded at a high of EUR 2.50 and a low of EUR 1.80.

DIRECTORS' REPORT - continued

Net Asset Value

As at 30 April 2012, the Net Assel Value of the Company stood at EUR3.78 as compared to EUR3.95 at 30 April 2011. Although the change has been marginal the level of discount of the share price to the NAV has grown from 46.83% as at 30 April 2011 to 52.33% as at 30 April 2012. As with the previous years there are no objective reasons, other than market sentiment, for this disparity between the NAV and the share price.

Directors

The directors for the year ended 30 April 2012 were listed on page 2.

In accordance with Clause I of the Company's Articles of Associations contained in Part 1 of the First Schedule to the Companies Act, 1995 shall apply. Accordingly, Dr. Edward Firman and Chev. Anthony P. Demajo Jnr. are due to retire. Being eligible, they offer themselves for re-election.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

The directors are responsible for ensuring that:

  • · appropriate accounting policies have been consistently applied and supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates;
  • · the financial statements have been drawn up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union;
  • · the financial statements are prepared on the basis that the Company must be presumed to be carrying on its business as a going concern; and

DIRECTORS' REPORT - continued

Statement of directors' responsibilities - continued

The directors are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Standard license conditions

In accordance with paragraph 2.15 Appendix II of Part B of the Investment Services Rules for Retail Collective Investment Schemes issued by the Malta Financial Services Authority, license holders are required to disclose any regulatory breaches of the standard license conditions in their annual report. During the year under review, there were no material breaches of the license conditions nor regulatory sanctions imposed by the Malta Financial Services Authority.

Auditors

Ernst & Young Malta Limited have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution for their reappointment will be proposed to the Company at the forthcoming annual general meeting.

Risk Warning

The Company is not a normal trading, manufacturing or services company but a specialized investment fund whose assets are not immediately realisable. As a consequence, the price of its shares and the income (if any) there from can go down as well as up and investors may not realize the amount of their initial investment. Past performance is no guide to future performance.

The directors' report was approved by the board of directors and was signed on its behalf by

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SANTUMAS SHAREHOLDINGS PLC

We have audited the financial statements of Santumas Shareholdings plc set out on pages 10 to 33 which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 April 2012 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Statements

As described in the statement of directors' responsibilities set out on page 5 to 6, the directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate for the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements:

  • · give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 30 April 2012, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union: and
  • · have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.

The adoption of IFRS 9 will primarily have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Company's financial assets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9, however the impact of adoption depends on the assets held by the Company at the date of adoption, therefore it is not practical to quantify the effect at this stage.

The other standards, amendments and interpretations mentioned above are not expected to have an effect on the Company's financial position and performance.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below:

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue is reliably measured. The following specific revenue criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Investment income

Interest income is included in the statement of comprehensive income on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Ground rents and other rents are included in the statement of comprehensive income on an accrual basis. Dividend income is included in the statement of comprehensive income when the right to receive the payment is established.

Upon disposal of investment properties consisting of land, leasehold property and ground rents capitalised, the difference between the proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount is recognised as a gain or loss through the statement of comprehensive income.

Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assels and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax

Deferred taxation is provided using the liability method, on temporary differences, at the reporting date, arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • · where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of transaction, affects nither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • · in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and an associate, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Under this method the Company is required to make provision for deferred income taxes on the revaluation of certain non-current assets. Such deferred tax is charged or credited directly to the statement of comprehensive income, and is charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged in the same or a different period, directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that future taxable profit will be available such that realisation of the related tax benefit is probable.

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Transactions 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 retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the year end date. All differences are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Non monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Investment properties consisting of land, buildings and leasehold property

Investment properties, consisting of properties not occupied by the Company and held to earn rentals and for capital appreciation, are regarded as long term investments.

All investments are measured initially at cost, being the consideration given, including acquisition charges associated with the investment. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the year end date. This is based on market valuations performed by independent professional architects every two years or earlier whenever their fair values differ materially from their carrying amounts. In the year when a market valuation is not performed, an assessment of the fair value is performed to reflect market conditions at the year end date. Gains or losses on changes in the fair values of investment properties are taken to the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 40 "Investment Properties". Unrealised gains are subsequently transferred to other reserves in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year of retirement or disposal.

Investment properties consisting of ground rents capitalised

On 30 April 1990, the directors capitalised ground rent. The value of this asset was included with long term assets with a resultant increase in the capitalisation reserve included within other reserves. Up to 30 April 2001, ground rents were revalued in the financial statements after capitalising the net annual amount receivable at 8% per annum. As from the year ended 30 April 2002, the capitalisation rate was changed to 5% per annum. The capitalisation rate reflects the fair value of the capitalised ground rent.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Leasehold property is subsequently measured at fair value less depreciation and impairment. All other property, plant and equipment, are subsequently stated at cost amounts less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value, if any.

Leasehold premises consists of property that is occupied by the Company as its offices.

It is Company policy to carry out a professional market valuation of leasehold every two years which is frequently enough to ensure that the fair value of the revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. To the extent that a revaluation results in an increase in the carrying amount of the asset, the increase is credited to the revaluation reserve within equity. To the extent that a revaluation results in a decrease in the carrying amount of the asset, the decrease is charged against the revaluation reserve to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation reserve in respect of that same

2.3 SUMMARY OF SICNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

asset, any excess of the decrease is taken to the statement of comprehensive income. The accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, other than leasehold property, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition, of each asset on a straight line basis over the expected useful life.

The annual rates used for this purpose are:

10
Fixtures and fittings 15.0
Equipment 33.3
Improvements to premises 10.0

Depreciation is provided on leasehold property to write off the valuation on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the lease.

Each year, the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset (the depreciation charged to the statement of comprehensive income) and depreciation based on the asset's original cost, is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there are indications of impairment for all nonfinancial assets. If any such amount exists, or when impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to the recoverable amount

Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end. The Company classifies its financial assets as fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. The Company does not hold financial assets classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments or a financial guarantee contract. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

0/

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

The Company assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host contracts when the Company first becomes party to the contract. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required.

Receivables

Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.

Receivables are recognized and carried at cost.

Fair value

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Company will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are composed of cash at bank and short term deposits.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

2.3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Trade and settlement date accounting

All "regular way" purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the "trade date," that is, the date the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases and sales are purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised. A contingent liability is disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Employee benefits

The Company contributes towards the State pension in accordance with local legislation. Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on undiscounted basis and recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the period they are incurred.

Events after the reporting date

Events after the reporting date are those events, favourable, that occur between the reporting date and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Adjusting events require the Company to adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements while non-adjusting events do not require any adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgment are inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates and the differences may be material to the financial statements. These estimates are reviewed on a regular basis and if a change is needed, it is accounted in the period the changes become known. The most significant judgements and estimates are as follows:

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment and investment properties

The Company carries its investment properties at fair value, with changes in fair value being recognised in the income statement. In addition, it measures land and buildings at revalued amounts with changes in fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income. This is based on market valuations performed by independent professional architects every two years. The last market valuation was performed on July 2011. As at 30 April 2012 an assessment of the fair value of investment properties consisting of land and building was performed to reflect market conditions at the year end date. No changes in fair value have been recognised.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS - continued

In the opinion of the management, except for the above, the accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments made in the course of preparing these financial statements are not difficult, subjective or complex to a degree which would warrant their description as critical in terms of the requirements of IAS 1 (revised)-"Presentation of Financial Statements'.

Leasehold buildings were acquired in the financial year ended 30 April 1993 at a cost of EUR34,097. Subsequently these leasehold buildings were revalued in July 2011 at EUR97,693; based on market valuations performed by independent professional architects. As at 30 April 2012, the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value. The remaining life of the lease is 41 years.

Had leasehold buildings not been included in the financial statements at revaluation less accumulated depreciation, the carrying amount at 30 April 2012, based on cost less accumulated depreciation charged on cost, would have been EUR22,737 (2011: EUR23,305).

Fully depreciated fixtures, fittings and equipment are still in use.

14. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's principal financial liabilities are composed of interest-bearing borrowings payables and payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Company's operations. The Company has various financial assets such as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, receivables and cash at bank, which arise directly from its operations.

The Company did not enter into derivative transactions. It is, and has been throughout the year, the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.

The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (which is composed of foreign exchange currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk). The board of directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities primarily from investments classified as fair value through profit or loss, receivables and deposits with banks.

The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. Credit risk relating to financial assets is addressed through careful selection of the issuers of securities bought by the Company. The Company obtains expert technical advice from its stockbrokers and monitors the markets for changes in the credit status of companies in which securities are held.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in notes 14, 15 and 16. The directors are of the opinion that these amounts are recoverable in full. Cash at bank are placed with quality financial institutions. Other than ground rents receivable, mentioned in the following paragraph, none of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired. Therefore, the Company has no significant concentration of credit risk.

No provisions have been made against ground rent receivables since the Company is entitled to enforce these amounts on the basis of contracts on which the property giving rise to the ground rents is available as a security.

The Company's exposure to concentration of risk as at 30 April 2012, arising from financial instruments exceeding 10% of the Net Assel Value of the Company with the same counterparty, amounted to EUR 1,334,904 (21.2% of NAV), EUR 1,293,750 (20.6% of NAV), and EUR 1,166,840 (18.6% of NAV). As at 30 April 2011 these exposures amounted to EUR2,503,404 (38.1% of NAV) and EUR 1,116,842 (17.0% of NAV).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due. The Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the maturity of its financial liabilities and projected cash flows from operations.

The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of interest-bearing borrowings and payables.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of financial assets will fluctuate due to changes in the market variables such as exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - continued

Foreign exchange currency risk

The Company has sterling denominated cash in bank and transactional currency exposures arising from its US dollar denominated financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Company monitors movements in the currencies in which these assets are held although they do not significantly affect the Company's statement of financial position.

Interest rate risk

The bank overdrafts are subject to rates of interest determined by the banks, which may be revised at the banks' discretion depending on movements in banks' base rates. The Company's favourable balances earn interest at rates determined by the banks. In view of the Company's marginal net cash and cash equivalents, the amount of interest rates risk is not considered to be significant.

The Company's financial assets are not significantly influenced by changes in interest rates since most holdings are equity and managed funds.

Equity price risk

Equity price risk is the risk that the fair values of equities decrease as the result of changes in the levels of equity indices and the value of individual stocks.

The effect on the statement of comprehensive income (as a result of a change in the fair value of equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss at 30 April) due to a reasonably possible change in the Malta Stock Exchange index, with all other variables held constant is as follows:

Change in equity price
1/0
Effect on profit
before tax
EUR'000
2012 11/-11 427/(427)
2011 5/-5 140/(140)

Fair values

At 30 April 2012 and 2011, the carrying amounts of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, receivables, cash at bank, receivables, interest-bearing borrowings and payables approximated their fair values.

Capital management

The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust capital structure, the Company may adjust dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or process during the year ended 30 April 2012 and 2011.
