* The Company incurred litigation costs (with Sofcom Limited (SOF) and Altera Capital Limited (AEA)) in relation to the 3 company's investment in Scarborough Equities Limited (formerly Rivkin Financial Services Limited) (SCB). SOF, as the major shareholder in SCB (of the three companies), had primary conduct of the payment of the costs of the litigation proceedings and legal cost settlement amounts arising therein. Such costs are shared between SOF/SRK/AEA in proportion to each company's relative interest in their collective stake in SCB (prior to the sale of SCB shares by SOF and AEA on 30 June 2005) - SOF's share is 67%; SRK's share is 18% and AEA's share is 15%. The above amount has been paid by SRK to SOF (including accrued interest owed to SOF). There are no outstanding amounts owed by SRK in this matter.

NOTE:
The Company currently holds the following share investments: $(1)$
| 13-Feb-06 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company | No Shares | % | Bid Price | Market Value |
| Orion Equities Ltd (OEQ) | 505.026 | 2.8% | $0.640 | $323,217 |
| Queste Communications Limited (QUE) | 826.950 | 2.9% | $0.210 | $173,660 |
| Altera Capital Ltd (AEA) | 20,002,860 | 32.3% | suspended | |
| Sofcom Limited (SOF) | 12,420,439 | 27.8% | suspended | |
| Total | $496,876 |
Share investments are regarded as liquid assets to supplement the Company's cash reserves.
The Company is the largest shareholder in AEA and SOF both of which are ASX listed companies, currently suspended awaiting a potential recapitalisation and re-admission to ASX. SRK is in discussions with a number of parties regarding a sale of its interest in these companies. SRK's nil valuation for its shareholding in these companies does not reflect any potential "control premium" upon a possible sale of such shareholdings.
