Interim Report 30 November 2011

Chairman’s Statement The first quarter of the current financial year showed encouraging signs of progress but then September, October and particularly November proved in the event to be disappointing. The degree of uncertainty surrounding the Eurozone has in fact steadily increased over 2011 and still no end is in sight and in those circumstances markets will continue to be lacklustre. It is obvious that the powers that be in Europe have no comprehension of the scale of the crisis and its causes. Unfortunately they are unable to execute a solution that is both economically sound and politically acceptable, and in this instance are also vociferous and addicted to grandstanding summits. The outlook is sombre for the UK economy and for investment performance. Our prime concern, however, must be to look after the best interests of our clients even where that means that our revenue suffers in the short term. This is especially a market for investors to tread cautiously. There are of course many small steps we can take and are taking to control costs and to improve trading performance. We have negotiated improved terms with our bankers and insurers. As a result and given the strength of our balance sheet, we are confident of our position whilst we look and wait for markets to pick up and as an expression of our confidence will be maintaining our dividend at 2p per share, although for this half year period it will not be fully covered by earnings. The shares will be traded ex-dividend on 15 February 2012 and the dividend will be paid on 16 March 2012 to shareholders on the register on 17 February 2012. C F Harrison Chairman 9 February 2012

Independent Review Report to Fiske plc We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 November 2011 which comprise the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated cash flow statement and the related notes 1 to 3. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements. This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed. Directors’ responsibilities The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange. As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies the Group intends to use in preparing its next annual financial statements. Our responsibility Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review. Scope of Review We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 November 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial information contained in this half-year financial report does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures and financial information for the period ended 31 May 2011 are extracted from the latest published audited financial statements of the Group and do not constitute the statutory financial statements for that period. The audited financial statements for the period ended 31 May 2011 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The report of the independent auditors on those financial statements contained no qualification or statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments. The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are followed in the condensed set of financial statements as applied in the Group’s latest annual audited financial statements. While the financial figures included in this half-yearly report have been computed in accordance with IFRSs applicable to interim periods, this half-yearly report does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as that term is defined in IAS 34. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these half-yearly financial statements. 2. TAXATION The tax charge for the six months to 30 November 2011 reflects all the necessary provisions for current tax, taking into account the availability of losses brought forward, and movements in deferred tax. In arriving at the effective tax rate account has been taken of the change in the rate of tax charged and the disallowance of the cost of share-based payments charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 3. DIVIDENDS PAID Dividends paid of £169,000 (2010 – £169,000) refer to the second interim dividend paid for the preceding year. The Interim dividend of 2p will be paid on 16 March 2012 to shareholders on the register on 17 February 2012. The shares will be marked ex-dividend on 15 February 2012.
