BHPBilliton have reimbursed FOGL with US$12.75 million in respect of prior costs and they will be funding 68% of costs through the drilling programme. The introduction of such an experienced Company underpins the exploration effort as we move closer to drilling, which is expected to take place in 2009. Earnings and dividends Earnings per share (“EPS”) on underlying profits rose by 18.7% to 16.5p per share (2007: 13.9p) and diluted EPS calculated on all earnings after amortisation were 16.1p per share, compared with 18.8p per share last year, which included a profit on the sale of an investment. The Board is recommending to shareholders a dividend of 8p per share, an increase of 14.2% on last year (2007: 7p). The dividend is twice covered by earnings. Net assets The purchase of Momart for £10.3 million comprised cash (£4.6 million), contingent consideration payable in 2009 and 2010 (£3.2 million) and new FIH shares (£2.5 million). The consideration was financed from existing cash resources and a new term bank loan of £4.0 million. However, the Group remains in a strong financial position with good interest cover. At the year end, interest bearing obligations totalled £9.1 million and cash balances were £3.0 million. The application of IFRS has meant that the investment in FOGL is now stated in the accounts at market value at the year end (123.5p) of £18.5 million (2007: £12.9 million) equivalent to 204p per FIH share. Outlook In the coming year we anticipate solid performances from our three businesses which should be relatively defensive to global economic difficulties. The new financial year has started in line with the Board’s expectations and the Group is well positioned to make further progress during the year. We look forward to FOGL’s future drilling campaign with keen anticipation since any success would have a transformational impact on the value of the investment and of your Company. We thank our employees for their commitment and contributions to building the business, and we thank our shareholders for their support. David Hudd Chairman Overview I am pleased to report that 2007/8 has been another good year for Falkland Islands Holdings (“FIH”) with significant growth in underlying profits and earnings. We were particularly pleased to announce the acquisition of Momart International Limited (“Momart”), a UK market leader in fine art logistics in March 2008. The acquisition met our strategic objective of strengthening the Group’s portfolio of market leading businesses. The acquisition, which was immediately earnings enhancing, brings increased scale and improves the Group’s growth potential without compromising the financial position. Our three businesses achieved solid organic growth during the period and the prospects for Falkland Oil and Gas (“FOGL”) (in which FIH holds a 16.3% interest) were transformed by the introduction of BHPBilliton as a farm- in partner in October. These achievements have been received positively and this has contributed to the 53% increase in the FIH share price over the financial year. Results In the year to 31 March 2008, the Group’s sales increased by 10.1% to £17.20 million from £15.62 million while underlying profit, defined as profit before tax, amortisation and non-recurring items was up by 17.6% to £1.94 million from £1.65 million. Profit after tax, but before amortisation and non-recurring items increased by 19.7% to £1.40 million from £1.17 million. Operating profit before non-recurring items increased by 14.8% to £2,010,000 from £1,751,000 in 2006/7, of which Momart contributed £84,000 in the short period of ownership. Both the Falkland Islands Company (“FIC”) and the Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company (“PHFC”) achieved improved results. In the Falklands auto sales, fishing agency, property income and shipping volumes were positive factors while other retailing profits declined. The ferry benefited from a 1% increase in passenger numbers. Falkland Oil and Gas The Group holds 15 million ordinary shares (16.3%) in FOGL which has a 49% interest in licences covering 49,000 sq km to the South and East of the Falklands. BHPBilliton has been the operator since 1 January 2008 and they have a licence commitment to David Hudd Chairman 26 June 2008 Managing Director’s Business Review FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 3 John Foster Managing Director The year to 31 March 2008 was a year of progress and development for FIH. Our existing businesses performed well and increases in revenue and underlying profits were delivered by both FIC and by PHFC, our UK ferry business. The results to 31 March 2008 also reflect a contribution from Momart which was acquired on 5 March 2008. Momart is a specialist provider of transport and logistics services to the art world and is a market leader in the UK with an international reputation for excellence. This is the first year that the Group has been required to report its results under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the financial statements, notes and prior year comparative figures have been shown under IFRS. The greatest impact arises in the balance sheet where the holding in FOGL is now shown at its market value. This has the effect of producing a significant increase in the Group’s reported assets and reserves. Group performance Including nearly a month of post acquisition trading from Momart, the Group’s revenues in the year to 31 March 2008 rose by 10.1% to £17.20 million (2007: £15.62 million). On a like for like basis, revenue increased by 3.3%, as steady progress was delivered by FIC and PHFC in the year. In the Falklands, FIC started well, helped by another very strong Illex squid catch in April and May, and first half activity was also boosted by visitors to the islands in May and June to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the liberation of the islands. Despite a generally sluggish local economy, FIC posted a strong second half with record automotive sales and buoyant 3rd party freight and carriage revenues, which helped to increase turnover in the Falklands business by 2.8% for the year. In the UK, PHFC’s ferry business benefited from an increase in passengers, and revenues increased by 5.0% during the year. The revenue of £1.07 million generated by Momart in the 27 days following the acquisition reflected healthy trading and the continued buoyancy of the UK art market.

On a like for like basis underlying profit increased by 12.1% to £1.85 million. In the current year reported profits have been largely unaffected by one off items or amortisation charges, whereas in 2006/7, profits before tax were increased by the sale of FIH’s shares in Falkland Gold and Minerals Limited. To show the underlying position before non- recurring profits and the amortisation of intangible assets a separate column has been included on the face of the Consolidated Income Statement on page 22.

The charge for the post acquisition period to 31 March 2008 amounted to £28,000. No amortisation charge is required in respect of goodwill, relating to Momart or to PHFC, since there had been no diminution of value in those assets during the year. Non-recurring items There were no non-recurring items in the current year. In 2006/7 the Group incurred costs of £105,000 to close the small defined benefit pension scheme in the Falklands and a profit of £485,000 was realised from the sale of the Group’s holding in Falkland Gold and Minerals. Profit before tax After taking account of charges for the amortisation of intangibles of £28,000 the Group’s profit before tax for the year ended 31 March 2008 was £1.91 million (2007: £2.03 million). Earnings per share Earnings per share based on underlying profit before non recurring items and amortisation charges (PBTA) saw a healthy 18.7% increase in the year to 16.5 pence per share.

Group structure Momart became a 100% owned subsidiary of FIH and this is reflected in the chart below. FIH’s holdings in the Falkland Islands Company and the Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company remained unchanged. The Group also retained its strategic 16.3% shareholding in FOGL of 15 million shares. On 7 September 2007 these shares were transferred to Erebus Limited a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in the Falkland Islands. Acquisition of Momart International Limited On 5 March 2008, FIH completed the acquisition of Momart Limited and its parent company Momart International Limited. The total consideration payable, including transaction costs of £566,000, was £10.8 million comprising cash, shares in FIH, contingent consideration Falkland Islands Holdings plc The Falkland Islands Company Limited The Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company Limited Momart International Limited Percentage of shares held 100% Percentage of shares held 100% Percentage of shares held 100% Falkland Oil and Gas Limited Percentage of shares held 16.3% FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 5 Consideration payable Net tangible assets on acquisition Existing bank borrowings Intangible assets (trade name, etc.) Deferred tax linked to intangibles Goodwill on acquisition £m 10.8 1.3 (1.6) 4.8 (1.3) 3.2 7.6 Momart is a leading provider of specialist transport, storage logistics and consultancy services for the art market.

At the time of the acquisition, Momart had identifiable net tangible operating assets of £1.3 million and bank borrowings of £1.6 million. In addition, the Group also acquired intangible assets of £4.8 million and related deferred tax liabilities of £1.3 million. Goodwill on acquisition amounted to £7.6 million. 6 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED Services to public galleries and museums accounted for approximately 56% of Momart’s revenues in 2007. In addition to its public sector clients, Momart provides specialist storage and transportation services for many of the UK’s leading commercial art galleries and collectors. Services to private galleries accounted for approximately 34% of Momart’s revenues in 2007. Storage rental income represented 10% of revenue. In recent years Momart has enjoyed strong growth in both revenue and profit, with the continued expansion of the global art market further growth is expected over the medium term. Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company PHFC performed well in the second half of the year, building on the solid performance reported in the Interim results. The core passenger ferry service continued to account for more than 90% of revenue. Whilst the encouraging increase in passenger numbers seen in the first half of the year slowed a little in the second half, for the year as a whole the total number of passengers carried by the ferry increased by 1% to 3.66 million. PHFC also continued to provide water taxi services for Berkeley Homes, with a small 72 passenger vessel operating at peak times during weekdays taking residents from Royal Clarence Yard on the Gosport shore to our pontoon at Portsea. PHFC also enjoyed success with a smaller, more focussed programme of summer leisure cruises in Portsmouth harbour and along the Solent, and this made a small positive contribution for the first time in several years. A similarly focussed programme is scheduled for this Summer. As in the prior year fares were increased on 1 June 2007, with normal daily adult return fares rising by 5% to £2.10 and fares for regular users buying open 10 trip tickets increasing from £8.00 to £8.40. In addition, the Company continued to offer concessionary fares to children and seniors over 60. With the 1% increase in passengers and fare rises in June, partially offset by the elimination of loss making cruises, total revenue from PHFC increased by 5% to £3.53 million. 2007/8 saw continued cost inflation with particularly large increases in the price of fuel, but efficiency improvements and active cost management mitigated their impact. As a result, after the allocation of head office costs, the profit before tax of the ferry operations increased from £0.55 million to £0.61 million in the year to 31 March 2008. The ferry currently benefits from the free use of the pontoon on the Gosport side of the harbour which is owned by Gosport Borough Council. The Council are moving ahead with plans to replace the existing pontoon The Spirit of Portsmouth departing Portsea. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 7 which is now expected to be delivered in late-2009. It now seems clear that the Council will seek to finance the cost of the pontoon by charging a full commercial rent for its use. With installation of the new pontoon now delayed into late-2009 these additional pontoon rental costs will not affect the current financial year. However, the Group will be required to implement significant increases to fares to offset these additional operating costs next year. The ferry service continues to be popular with local residents and this was confirmed during the year by a customer satisfaction survey which revealed that 89% of passengers felt the service was good or very good. The key to this high level of passenger satisfaction is the ferry’s exceptional reliability and in 2007/8 over 99.6% of all 72,000 ferry trips departed on time. The value placed on PHFC’s operations by the people of Gosport and Portsmouth was also emphasised when the Company was awarded the prestigious “Service to the Community” award at the “Go Gosport” awards ceremony in December 2007. This award was a welcome recognition of PHFC’s unique contribution to the local community which it serves and underlines the value local people place on a service which is: • safe; • reliable; • quicker; • cheaper; and • more environmentally friendly than using a car. With spiralling costs of petrol, and increased awareness of green issues, the excellent value for money, combined with the convenience of the shorter harbour crossing, mean that the Gosport Ferry remains an attractive and compelling choice for local commuters and tourists. Falklands operations (FIC) Total revenue in the Group’s Falklands businesses in the year to 31 March 2008 increased by 2.8% to £12.60 million (2007: £12.26 million). Turnover 2007/8: Retailing • Other • 20% 80% The economy of the Falkland Islands is not directly linked to the business cycle in the UK, but is subject to the same increases in raw material prices, food and energy costs. In particular oil, which despite the recent introduction of a small farm of wind turbines, continues to form the basis for almost all the Islands’ electricity generation, saw sharp price rises in the year and these increases were more acutely felt by consumers without the dampening effect of the high government duty seen in the UK. In general terms, economic activity in the Falklands remained largely flat in the year, constrained by rising costs and restricted government spending. Retailing remained competitive and margins, particularly in the West Store supermarket, came under renewed pressure. However, continued growth in the numbers of cruise ship visitors provided an important stimulus to the Group’s Capstan gift shop. Automotive sales were buoyant with continuing strong military orders supported by increased sales of newly introduced budget 4x4’s. In addition the Company’s freight business, Darwin Shipping, benefited from exceptional volumes of third party cargoes being shipped to the Islands during the year. After allocating head office costs, the Group’s Falklands business activities, generated a profit before tax and non- recurring items of £1.24 million, an increase of £0.15 million on the prior year (2007: £1.09 million). Retailing – Sales £10.0 million (2007: £9.8 million) important business activity Retailing undertaken by the Group in the Falklands and accounts for 80% of revenue. is the most Despite increased competition and a generally flat local economy in the year to 31 March 2008, overall retail sales increased by 1.9% to £10.0 million. Helped by a reorganisation of management responsibilities and improvements in store layout, sales at the flagship West Store supermarket increased by 1.2%. However, competition from local independent retailers remained fierce and this put pressure on margins during the year. At the Capstan gift shop a refreshed product line up and continued increases in tourist activity, particularly of cruise ship passengers, saw sales increase by 10.2%. During the year the Company’s Gallery clothing store was closed for refurbishment and re-opened in September 2007 re-branded as “Basics”. With a simplified offer of clothing staples, customer reaction was positive and both sales and margins at the renamed “Basics” store improved in the second half. The Group’s DIY business, Homecare, was also re-branded during the year and its two constituent parts, selling 8 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED building materials and home furnishings and accessories were split off into separate trading areas and renamed “Home Builder” and “Home Living”. The refurbishment was completed in December 2007 and the new outlets re-opened in time for Christmas. Customer reaction was positive and again sales increased in aggregate by 9.7% for the year to 31 March 2008, reversing the trend of decline seen in the prior year. Revenues from FIC‘s insurance agency and property rental activities saw steady growth in the year, and with lower property maintenance costs in 2007/8 the contribution from FIC’s property arm increased significantly. At the year end, FIC had a portfolio of 28 commercial and residential properties, all of which are let. Port Services which provides stevedoring services also increased its contribution in 2007/8. FIC’s automotive dealership had another excellent year with record numbers of vehicle sales (95 compared to 84 in the previous year). Increased sales of the newly introduced budget Ford 4x4 models complemented the Company’s more traditional Land Rover sales, targeted at local businesses and the military, which still form the bedrock of the auto section’s activities. Other activities – Sales £2.6 million (2007: £2.4 million) Overall sales in the Company’s other activities increased by £0.2 million to £2.6 million in the year to 31 March 2008. The Fishing Agency had a good year with revenues and net income marginally ahead of 2006/7 thanks to another strong performance from the Illex squid fishery. Darwin Shipping, which charters space on UK Ministry of Defence supply vessels, benefited from exceptional levels of third party cargos during the year, most notably its carriage of three 44 metre wind turbines for the newly installed wind farm on the outskirts of Stanley, which will help reduce the Islands’ reliance on expensive fossil fuels. Despite an increase in MoD shipping rates in November 2007, a strong increase in volumes of third party freight and a continued tight control on costs, enabled Darwin to make a welcome advance in the year. The Upland Goose Hotel benefited from the “Falklands 25” visitors in the first quarter, but in the remainder of the year, as expected, demand for beds fell away and occupancy levels dropped, resulting in increased losses for the year as a whole. After a careful review of the prospects for the Wind turbines in the Falklands – the turbines were transported by Darwin Shipping. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 9 Goose it was decided to close the hotel at the end of March 2008 and convert the building back into its original use as residential accommodation. Planning permission for eleven residential units has been granted and work commenced on the conversion in April 2008. The project will capitalise on the site’s excellent sea front location in the centre of Stanley, and produce prestigious premium priced heritage cottages and apartments, available for sale or letting in 2009. During the year the Company was also granted planning permission to build up to 350 residential units at its 37 acre site at Dairy Paddock, on the Southwest edge of central Stanley, part of which was received in exchange for FIC’s Racecourse site. Discussions are progressing with a UK house builder, Galliford Try plc, and the Falkland Islands Government to assess the potential for the profitable phased development of this site. If successful, this would see a substantial increase in the size and the quality of the housing stock in Stanley, and would provide a significant boost to the value of FIC’s property portfolio. Trading outlook for 2008/9 With the acquisition of Momart, the overall profitability of the Group is set to increase significantly in the current financial year as the Group benefits from a full year’s contribution. Although the general economic outlook in the UK is more uncertain than for some time, both Momart and PHFC have seen a solid start to the new financial year, with both companies seeing year on year increases in revenue in the first two months. In the Falklands, the first quarter has experienced a slower start, with a fall in the squid catch in April and May and a corresponding reduction in the income generated by the Fishing Agency. In addition, the first two months of 2007/8 benefited from the 25th anniversary commemorations, and as a result in comparison FIC has not enjoyed as strong a start this year. The outlook for the remainder of the year remains positive, and although it is unlikely that FIC will match the exceptional level of profitability seen in 2007/8, a solid contribution from Stanley is anticipated. In the UK further strengthening of the central management function will take place following the near doubling in size of the Group brought on by the recent acquisition. In the UK operating companies both PHFC and Momart are expected to make further progress. Falkland Oil and Gas (FOGL) The Group continues to hold its strategic stake in FOGL of 15 million shares which represents a 16.3% interest. At 31 March 2008 the bid price of FOGL shares was 123p giving a market value for FIH’s shareholding of £18.5 million (2007: £12.9 million). The investment has a cost value to the Group of £2.5 million. In the year the exploration programme continued with expenditure of £11 million in FOGL’s calendar year. The major components were the Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) Survey and the 2D infill survey. The 2D survey, which was completed in May 2007, was designed to infill the existing seismic grid in order to get clearer definition of the leads and prospects and covered 9,950 km. In August 2007 the CSEM survey of 750 km was completed covering twelve prospects. FOGL reported that positive anomalies were detected over seven of the prospects, which also showed seismically derived direct hydrocarbon indicators. The largest of these prospects could contain, on a mean un-risked basis, up to 3.5 billion barrels. The results of the CSEM survey were then integrated with the 2D results to help define the best prospects for drilling. One of the key objectives for FOGL was to secure a credible farm-in partner and in October 2007 it was announced that a farm-in had been agreed with BHPBilliton and that transaction was completed in December. BHPBilliton acquired a 51% interest in the entire licence area and assumed the operatorship. The financial terms of the farm-in were that FOGL received US$12.75 million in reimbursement of historic costs and that BHPBilliton will pay 68% of exploration costs up to, and including, the drilling of two exploration wells. Their participation provides external corroboration of the prospectivity of the licence area. Final preparatory work prior to drilling, comprising site surveys and environmental impact assessment is expected to take place in the Austral Summer of 2008/9 with drilling in 2009. The positive news flow led to FOGL’s share price increasing by 42% over the financial year from 86.5p to 123p. 10 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED Balance sheet As a result of the introduction of IFRS and the acquisition of Momart the consolidated balance sheet has undergone considerable change. The net effect of these changes is that the Group has seen an increase in its reported net assets from £24.7 million to £34.0 million as at 31 March 2008 and the Group ended the year with net bank borrowings of £6.1 million (2007: £2.2 million net cash). Intangible assets at 31 March 2008 of £16.4 million (2007: £4.0 million) include intangible assets and goodwill of £12.4 million linked to the acquisition of Momart and £4.0 million related to goodwill on the acquisition of PHFC in December 2004. The £4.8 million of other intangible assets relate to those assets with a specifically identifiable commercial value to the Company. The net book value of property, plant and equipment increased by £1.1 million from £6.3 million to £7.4 million to 31 March 2008. During the year fixed asset additions of £0.9 million were made to improve the infrastructure of the operating companies, principally in the Falkland Islands, and a further £0.7 million of tangible assets (mainly vehicles and plant and equipment) were acquired with the purchase of Momart in March 2008. The depreciation charge for the year amounted to £0.5 million. The Group’s investment properties comprise commercial and residential properties in the Falkland Islands held for rental. The net book value was essentially unchanged in the year at £1.6 million (2007: £1.6 million). The Directors estimate that the fair value of this property portfolio at 31 March 2008 was £2.8 million. Under IFRS, deferred tax assets relating to future pension liabilities are classified separately and unlike UK GAAP are not netted off the gross pension liability. As at 31 March 2008 the Group’s deferred tax assets fell from £0.6 million to £0.5 million largely as a result of the reduction of UK corporation tax from 30% to 28%. Inventories increased from £2.7 million to £3.3 million at 31 March 2008. £162,000 of this relates to work in progress at Momart and the balance of £3.1 million represented stock held for resale in the Group’s retail operations in the Falklands. Over £0.3 million of the £0.5 million increase in stock levels in the Falklands related to higher levels of vehicle stocks which rose to £0.7 million at the year end. These increases were in response to higher levels of customer demand, particularly for budget 4x4 models. Levels of retail inventories were also deliberately increased by some 5% to increase buffer stocks and avoid stock outs and lost sales. Trade and other receivables balances increased from £2.4 million in March 2007 to over £5.3 million as at 31 March 2008. The increase relates largely to the acquisition of trade debtors in Momart with balances due from museums and galleries and overseas agents. The Company has a good history of receivables collection and many of its overseas agency customers have amounts payable to them in trade creditors, which offset the receivable due to Momart. In addition, many of the museums and institutions owing monies have long standing relationships with Momart and have assets held in storage on their behalf at Momart’s warehouse in Leyton. Approximately £1.7 million of trade receivables was due in the Falkland Islands (2007: £2.4 million) mainly relating to fishing companies. Despite the payment of £5.2 million in consideration for Momart the Group retained healthy cash balances of £3.0 million at 31 March 2008 (2007: £5.0 million). As part of the acquisition of Momart, the Group drew down an additional £4.0 million of bank borrowings in the form of a term loan repayable over seven years with an initial two-year repayment holiday. In addition, a further £3.0 million is due to the Momart vendors in contingent consideration, which will be payable over the next two years. At 31 March 2008 the Group’s total interest bearing loans and borrowings amounted to £9.1 million (2007: £2.7 million), representing the £7.0 million linked to the purchase of Momart and a further £2.1 million of residual bank borrowings that pre-dated the acquisition. Income tax payable of £1.36 million (2007: £0.57 million) relates to corporation tax due within the next 12 months. At the year end the Group hedged its interest rate exposure by taking out a structured collar to cap against adverse movements in interest rates (see note 24 for details). Under IFRS these instruments are included in the balance sheet at fair value, which as at 31 March 2008 represented a liability of £72,000 (2007: £1,000). Trade and other payables increased significantly from £4.2 million to £7.6 million as a result of the acquisition of Momart, but as in prior years also include extended credit arrangements with long standing suppliers connected to the Group’s Falklands business. As at 31 March 2008 the liability due in respect of the Group’s defined benefit pension schemes had reduced from £2.5 million as at 31 March 2007 to £2.1 million, FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 11 principally due to an increase in long term bond rates from 5.4% to 6.6%, which in turn has led to a reduction in the discounted net present value of the schemes’ liabilities (see note 26 on pages 53 to 57). Deferred tax liabilities increased from £0.8 million as at 31 March 2007 to £2.1 million as at 31 March 2008. £1.3 million of this increase was attributable to the tax amortisation benefit created by the acquisition of £4.8 million of intangible assets stemming from the purchase of Momart. The benefit of the effect of the reduction in the rate of UK corporation tax from 30% to 28% as from 1 April 2008 has been offset by an increase in provisions in respect of other timing differences (see note 19 on pages 49 to 51). As at 31 March 2008 the net assets of the FIH Group under IFRS had increased to £34.0 million (2007: £24.7 million). The uplift of £9.3 million is analysed in detail in note 28 to the financial statements but can be summarised as follows: The operating cash flow can be summarised as follows: Year ended 31 March 2008 £’000 2007 £’000 PBT as reported 1,909 2,034 Add: Depreciation Amortisation Net interest expense Share-based payments expense Gain on sale of FGML EBITDA Add decrease in working capital Other Less tax paid Net cash flow from operating activities 534 28 101 142 – 468 – 97 101 (485) 2,714 2,215 671 54 92 (4) (460) (338) 2,979 1,965 Profit for the year Dividend paid Issue of shares Increase in fair value of FOGL Actuarial gain on pension schemes Other Total increase in shareholders’ funds £m 1.4 (0.6) 2.5 5.5 0.3 0.2 9.3 Net assets per share were 375 pence per share at 31 March 2008 (2007: 292 pence per share). Cash flow Cash flow from operating activities The Group experienced a strong positive cash flow in the year to March 2008, with net cash flow from operating activities increasing to over £2.9 million compared to the £2.0 million generated in 2006/7. This reflected the increase in the Group’s underlying profitability and the management of working capital. Cash flow from investing and financing activities During the year a cash dividend of £591,000 was paid, which equates to 7p per share (2007: 6.5p). Capital expenditure amounted to £907,000 (2007: £282,000). The major items were the renovation of retail outlets and the construction of residential properties to let in the Falklands. The Company enjoyed net bank interest received of £40,000 in the year as its liquidity position remained strong (2007: £31,000 paid). With the continued strengthening of its liquidity position, surplus cash resources were placed on deposit. During the year the Group paid the final £43,000 instalment on the loan notes issued in connection with the acquisition of PHFC in December 2004 and made scheduled repayments of bank loans of £0.74 million. After drawing down additional bank loans of £4.0 million (net £3.8 million) to help finance the cash costs of acquisition of Momart of £5.3 million, the £1.4 million of bank debt extant in Momart at the time of the acquisition was repaid. After taking into account all of the cash flows linked to the Group’s financing and investing activities, the net cash flow for the year amounted to an outflow of £2.0 million (2007: Inflow of £1.4 million) and the Group ended the year with cash balances reduced to £3.0 million from £5.0 million at 31 March 2007 and net debt of £6.1 million (2007: £2.2 million cash). 12 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED Year ended 31 March Net cash flow from operating activities Less: Dividends paid Capital expenditure Net bank interest Scheduled loan repayments Repayment of loan notes Repayment of Momart loan Drawn down of loan Acquisition of Momart Sale of FGML Other Net cash flow Cash balance b/fwd Cash balance c/fwd 2008 £’000 2007 £’000 2,979 1,965 (591) (919) 40 (498) (43) (1,395) 3,841 (5,343) – (35) (1,964) 4,959 2,995 (545) (282) (31) (532) (43) – – – 675 151 1,358 3,601 4,959 Business drivers, risk factors and key performance indicators in their markets. Business drivers All the Group’s businesses are consumer oriented operations and their success is linked to the general Inflation, economic conditions employment levels, interest rates and government spending programmes all have an effect on disposable income and consumer confidence. The Group’s businesses in the Falklands and Gosport have strong ties to the local communities they serve and activity is linked in turn to the local demand for their goods and services. In addition demand in these local markets is boosted by wider tourist activity and both locations have benefited from increasing tourist numbers in recent years. In the Falklands the strength of the local economy is closely linked to the fortunes of the fishing industry and in particular the success of the more variable Illex squid season which runs from February to May. In the future the outcome of the oil exploration programme is likely to have a major impact on the Falklands economy. At Momart, general economic factors are also important but in addition there is an increasing trend for the out- sourcing of specialist services by museums and institutions. At a wider level the use of art works as cultural ambassadors and as revenue generating assets has led to a steady increase in the number and frequency of major travelling international exhibitions. In addition, the art market itself is being significantly expanded by the emergence of new buyers, patrons and artists in the rapidly developing economies of the Middle and Far East and Russia. Risk factors The FIC and PHFC businesses are both sensitive to local conditions and as well as changes in local economic conditions. The level of local competition also affects their performance. In the Falklands FIC faces local competition in almost every area of its operations, but due to the Company’s long established position and accumulated expertise, in most sectors FIC has the largest market share. The situation is fluid and maintaining leadership depends on continued innovation, investment and a commitment to excellence in customer service. For the ferry operations in Portsmouth the situation is different. Although there is no other directly competing ferry operator, customers do have a choice and are able to travel by car or public transport round the harbour. Maintaining and promoting the relative attractions of using the ferry whether for commuting to work, shopping or for tourism is a key focus of our strategy and PHFC will continue to work closely with local authorities and other public transport providers to reinforce its position as a faster, more cost effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to travelling by car. For Momart the physical security of artworks is of paramount importance and the Company goes to great lengths to guard against the risk of theft or damage to the priceless works in its care. Beyond physical security and the related risk to the Company’s reputation, the risks faced by Momart are less local in nature and include any global factors impacting continued growth of the global art market. In particular those factors which could result in a contraction of personal or institutional budgets which could then lead to a reduction in the movement and display of art. The emergence of new competitors could also impact the business adversely. Key performance indicators At a Group level management attention is focussed on revenue, costs and the contribution generated by each sub-group of businesses. In the Falklands businesses like for like revenue growth is a key measure of performance, especially for the retail outlets which account for 80% of sales. In addition to sales trends gross margins by product and general costs are also kept under close review. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 13 At PHFC, passenger numbers and the average fare yield are monitored on a weekly basis, and other key concerns are ferry reliability and passenger safety as well as a focus on costs and net profitability. In Momart forward sales projections are monitored and updated and these are an important leading indicator, which facilitates forward planning. In addition order intake and the conversion rate in bidding for contracts are reviewed on a regular basis. Direct costs and the gross contribution of individual contracts are monitored closely, as are the level of indirect costs and the overall overtime being worked.

Results and dividend The Group’s result for the year is set out in the Group Income Statement on page 22. Group profit for the year after taxation amounted to £1,378,000 (2007: £1,585,000). Basic earnings per share were 16.3p (2007: 18.8p). The Directors recommend a dividend of 8.0p per share (2007: 7.0p) which, if approved by shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting will be paid on 31 October 2008 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 3 October 2008. This has not been included in creditors as it was not approved before the year end. Dividends paid during the year comprise a dividend of 7.0p per share in respect of the previous year ended 31 March 2007. Principal activities and business review The business of the Group during the year ended 31 March 2008 was general trading in the Falkland Islands, the operation of a ferry across Portsmouth Harbour and, from 5 March 2008, the provision of international arts logistics and storage services. The principal activities of the Group are discussed in more detail in the Business Review on pages 3 to 13 and should be considered as part of the Directors’ Report for the purposes of the requirements of the enhanced Directors’ Report guidance. The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company. Directors’ interests The interests of the Directors in the issued shares and share options over the shares of the Company are set out below under the heading ‘Directors’ interests in shares’ on pages 17 and 18. During the year no Director had an interest in any significant contract relating to the business of the Company or its subsidiaries other than his own service contract. Health and safety The Group is committed to the health, safety and welfare of its employees and third parties who may be affected by the Group’s operations. The focus of the Group’s effort is to prevent accidents and incidents occurring by identifying risks and employing appropriate control strategies. This is supplemented by a policy of investigating and recording all incidents. Employees The Board is aware of the importance of good relationships and communication with employees. Where appropriate, employees are consulted about matters which affect the progress of the Group and which are of interest and concern to them as employees. Within this framework, emphasis is placed on developing greater awareness of the financial and economic factors which affect the performance of the Group. Employment policy and practices in the Group are based on non-discrimination and equal opportunity irrespective of age, race, religion, sex, colour and marital status. In particular, the Group recognises its responsibilities towards disabled persons and does not discriminate against them in terms of job offers, training or career development and prospects. If an existing employee were to become disabled during the course of employment, every practical effort would be made to retain the employee’s services with whatever retraining is appropriate. The Group’s pension arrangements for employees are summarised in note 26 on pages 53 to 57. Share capital and substantial interests in shares During the year 35,000 share options were exercised.

The Directors’ options extant at 31 March 2008 totalled 318,226 and represented 3.5% of the Company’s issued share capital. 18 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Directors’ Report CONTINUED Under the Company’s executive share option scheme, executive Directors and senior executives have been granted options to acquire ordinary shares in the Company after a period of three years from the date of the grant. All outstanding options have been granted at an option price of not less than market value at the date of the grant. Unless some other performance condition is imposed at the time of grant, the exercise of options is conditional upon the growth in earnings per share over a period of three consecutive financial years, (starting no earlier than the year in which the option is granted), being greater than the increase in the retail price index over that period plus 6%. During April 2008, the Remuneration Committee undertook a review of the performance conditions attached to the options granted to Mr Foster in February 2005 and to Mr Foster and Mr Hudd in June 2005. As stated in last year’s Directors’ Report, the condition attached to these options required that compound growth (“CAGR”) in the share price of the Company should be at least 10% over the three years from the date of grant. The Remuneration Committee review concluded that the performance of the Company’s share price over the three years following the dates of grant had been unduly influenced by events concerning Falkland Oil and Gas Plc, in which the Company has a substantial shareholding. As a consequence, the Remuneration Committee concluded that the performance conditions attached to these options would not, without alteration, achieve their intended purpose of providing appropriate incentivisation to Mr Foster and Mr Hudd. The Remuneration Committee, which comprises the three non-executive Directors of the Company, therefore recommended to the Board that, in view of the growth in underlying earnings per share of 83% achieved in the three years from 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2008 the performance condition applied to the options granted to Mr Foster on 10 February 2005 over 57,692 shares at £5.20 and on 14 June 2005 over 14,117 shares to Mr Foster and over 49,411 shares to Mr Hudd at £4.25 should be regarded as satisfied and that these options should be regarded as vested. These recommendations have been adopted by the full Board (with the exception of the Directors affected) and the terms of these options have therefore been amended as stated above. In addition to the share options set out above, the interests of the Directors, their immediate families and related trusts in the shares of the Company according to the register kept pursuant to the Companies Act 2005 were as shown below: David Hudd John Foster Mike Killingley Leonard Licht Sir Harry Solomon Ordinary shares as at 31 March 2008 Ordinary shares as at 31 March 2007 56,000 10,000 10,000 795,000 433,677 45,400 5,000 3,000 791,250 430,027 Statement of Directors’ responsibilities in respect of the Directors’ Report and financial statements The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and Parent Company financial statements for each financial year. As required by the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange they are required to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable laws and have elected to prepare the Parent Company financial statements on the same basis. The Group and Parent Company financial statements are required by law and IFRSs as adopted by the EU to present fairly the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company and the performance for that period; the Companies Act 1985 provides in relation to such financial statements that references in the relevant part of that Act to financial statements giving a true and fair view are references to their achieving a fair presentation. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 19 In preparing each of the Group and Parent Company financial statements, the Directors are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; • make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • • state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the Parent Company will continue in business. The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Parent Company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They have a general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein. This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of Directors and auditors The Directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as adopted by the EU are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities on pages 18 and 19. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985. We also report to you whether in our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report is consistent with the financial statements. The information given in the Directors’ Report includes that specific information presented in the Managing Director’s Business Review that is cross referred from the Business Review section of the Directors’ Report. In addition we report to you if, in our opinion, the Company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding Directors’ remuneration and other transactions is not disclosed. We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and consider whether it is consistent with the audited financial statements. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information. Basis of audit opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by the Directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group’s and Company’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 21 Opinion In our opinion: • the Group financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, of the state of the Group’s affairs as at 31 March 2008 and of its profit for the year then ended; • the Parent Company financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985, of the state of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 March 2008; • the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985; and • the information given in the Directors’ Report is consistent with the financial statements.

MARCH 2008 1 Accounting policies General information Falkland Islands Holdings plc (the “Company”) is a company incorporated and domiciled in the UK. Reporting entity The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Parent Company financial statements present information about the Company as a separate entity and not about its Group. Authorisation of financial statements and statement of compliance with IFRS Both the Parent Company financial statements and the Group financial statements have been prepared and approved by the Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU (“Adopted IFRS”). On publishing the Parent Company financial statements here together with the Group financial statements, the Company is taking advantage of the exemption in s230 of the Companies Act 1985 not to present its individual income statement and related notes that form a part of these approved financial statements. The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and in preparing an opening IFRS balance sheet at 1 April 2006 for the purposes of the transition to Adopted IFRS. Judgements made by the Directors in the application of these accounting policies that have a significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment next year are discussed in note 34. Transition to Adopted IFRS Both the Group and the Company are preparing their financial statements in accordance with Adopted IFRS for the first time and consequently both have applied IFRS 1. An explanation of how the transition to Adopted IFRS has affected the reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group and Company is provided in note 35. IFRS 1 grants certain exemptions from the full requirements of Adopted IFRSs in the transition period. The following exemptions have been taken in these financial statements: • Business combinations – Business combinations that took place prior to 1 April 2006 have not been restated. • Share based payments – IFRS 2 is being applied only to equity instruments that were granted after 7 November 2002 and that had not vested by 1 April 2006. Basis of preparation The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except that available-for-sale financial instruments are stated at their fair value. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Falkland Islands Holdings plc and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). A subsidiary is any entity Falkland Islands Holdings plc has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Company. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 29 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED All intra-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Investments in subsidiaries not classified as held-for-sale within the Company balance sheet are stated at cost. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency using the relevant rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains or losses thereon are included in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable expenses. Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Freehold buildings Long leasehold land and buildings Vehicles, plant and equipment Ships 20 – 50 years 50 years 4 – 10 years 30 years The carrying value of assets and their useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If an indication of impairment exists, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount and the impairment is charged to the income statement in the period in which it arises. Freehold land is not depreciated. Investment properties Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation (calculated on useful economic lives of 50 years in line with accounting policy, Property, plant and equipment above) and any impairment losses. Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Acquisitions prior to 1 April 2006 In respect to acquisitions prior to transition to IFRS, goodwill is recorded on the basis of deemed cost, which represents the amount recorded under previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (”GAAP”) as at the date of transition. The classification and accounting treatment of business combinations which occurred prior to transition has not been reconsidered in preparing the Group’s opening IFRS balance sheet at 1 April 2006. 30 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED Acquisitions on or after 1 April 2006 Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Trade name Customer relationships Non-compete agreements Computer software 20 years 6 – 10 years 5 years Acquired computer software is capitalised as an intangible asset on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire and bring the specific software into use. Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life of computer software is five years. Impairment of non-financial assets At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists or the asset requires annual impairment testing, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Recoverable amount is the greater of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell or value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses are reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Financing costs Net financing costs comprise interest payable, interest receivable, and foreign exchange gains and losses that are recognised in the income statement. Interest income and interest payable are recognised as a profit or loss as they accrue, using the effective interest method. Financial instruments Certain financial instruments held by the Group are classified as being available-for-sale and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised directly in equity, except for impairment losses. When these items are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit and loss. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 31 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED Financial instruments classified as available-for-sale are initially recognised at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in the income statement as they arise. The Group has not applied hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments. Employee share awards The Group provides benefits to certain employees (including Directors) in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby the employee renders service in return for shares or rights over future shares (“equity settled transactions”). The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to an estimate of their fair value at the date on which they were granted using an option input pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in reserves, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date that the option vests. Where the Company grants options over its own shares to the employees of subsidiaries, it recognises, in its individual financial statements, an increase in the cost of investment in its subsidiaries equal to the equity settled share-based payment charge recognised in its consolidated financial statements with the corresponding credit being recognised directly in equity. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, as follows: The cost of raw materials, consumables and goods for resale comprises purchase cost, on a first-in, first-out basis and where applicable includes expenditure incurred in transportation to the Falkland Islands. Work-in-progress and finished goods cost includes direct materials and labour plus attributable overheads based on a normal level of activity. Net realisable value is estimated at selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs of disposal. Revenue Revenue is the amount receivable by the Group for goods supplied and services rendered excluding VAT. Revenue principally arises from retail sales, the provision of ferry services and the provision of storage and transportation services for fine art works. In the Falkland Islands revenue also includes hotel takings, insurance commissions, revenues billed for shipping and agency activities and port services. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the point of sale or dispatch, whilst that of the ferry, fine art logistics and other services is recognised when the service is provided. Pensions Defined contribution pension schemes The Group operates three defined contribution schemes. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Group in independently administered funds. The amount charged to the income statement represents the contributions payable to the schemes in respect to the accounting period. Defined benefit pension schemes The Group also operates two pension schemes providing benefits based on final pensionable pay, one of which is unfunded. The assets of the funded scheme are held separately from those of the Group. The Group’s net obligation in respect of each defined benefit pension plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to its present value; and any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of the plan assets (at bid price) are deducted. 32 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED The liability discount rate is the yield at the balance sheet date on AA credit-rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the asset recognised is limited to the net total of any unrecognised past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The current service cost and costs from settlements and curtailments are charged against operating profit. Past service costs are spread over the period until the benefit increases vest. Interest charged on the scheme liabilities and the expected return on scheme assets are included in other finance costs. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the period in which they arise in the statement of recognised income and expense. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are carried at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value through impairment or reversal of impairment is recognised in the income statement. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are stated at their cost less payments made. Dividends on funds presented within shareholders’ funds Dividends unpaid at the balance sheet date are only recognised as liabilities at that date to the extent that they are appropriately authorised and are no longer at the discretion of the Company. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Interest bearing borrowings Interest bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 33 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED Income tax Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary timing differences are not recognised: • Goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; and • Initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred tax is recognised at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date. Leased assets Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases. As lessee Rentals in respect of all operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. As lessor Assets under hire purchase agreements are shown in the balance sheet under current assets to the extent they are due within one year, and under non-current assets to the extent that they are due after more than one year, and are stated at the value of the net investment in the agreements. The income from such agreements is credited to the income statement each year so as to give a constant rate of return on the funds invested. Assets held for leasing out under operating leases are included in investment property (where they constitute land and buildings) or in stock (where they do not constitute land and buildings) at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income. Finance lease payments Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period of the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets and discontinued operations are classified as held for sale when their carrying values will be recovered principally through sale. They are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. 34 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED Provisions Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected cash flows at an appropriate pre-tax risk free rate. New accounting standards and interpretations not applied During the year, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and International Financial Reporting Committee (“IFRIC”) have issued the following standards and interpretations with an effective date after the end of these financial statements: International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) Effective date (accounting periods commencing on or after): Endorsed IFRS 8: Operating segments Unendorsed IFRS 3 (Revised): Business combinations (2008) IAS 1: Amendment to Presentation of financial statements (2007) IAS 23: Amendment to Borrowing costs (2007) IFRS 2: Amendment to Share-based payments 1 January 2009 1 July 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 Amendments to IAS 32 and IAS 1: Puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation 1 January 2009 IAS 27: Consolidated financial statements and accounting for investments in subsidiaries (2008) 1 July 2009 International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) IFRIC 12: Service concession arrangements IFRIC 13: Customer loyalty programmes 1 January 2008 1 July 2008 IFRIC 14: The limit of defined asset benefit, minimum funding requirements and their interaction 1 January 2008 The Directors do not anticipate that the adoption of the standards and interpretations listed above will have a material impact on the Group’s or Company’s financial statements in the period of initial application, however additional disclosures will be required. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 35 2 Acquisition of subsidiary On 5 March 2008, the Company acquired all of the ordinary shares in Momart International Limited for £10,835,000, satisfied in cash and the issue of 582,666 ordinary shares of 10p each at £4.271/2 being the average closing price of the shares for the three days preceding completion of the deal. Momart International Limited is the Parent Company of Momart Limited, a leading UK expert in the transportation and storage of fine art. In the twenty-seven days since 5 March 2008 the subsidiary contributed net profit after tax of £20,000 to the consolidated net profit for the year. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 April 2007, Group revenue would have been an estimated £29 million and net profit after tax would have been an estimated £1.6 million (before amortisation and non- recurring items: £2 million).

The recoverable amount of goodwill relating to each cash generating unit has been calculated with reference to value in use. To assess value in use, the Group prepares cash flow forecasts, derived from the most recent financial budgets approved by management, for a five year period and extrapolates these cash flows based on an estimate of future growth rates. Based on the assumption that future growth rates and unit profitability will remain at least similar to 2008, and a post-tax discount rate of 8.5%, the above carrying values are below recoverable amounts and no provision for impairment is recognised.

This valuation was undertaken by a Director of a subsidiary company who is resident in the Falkland Islands and is considered to have the relevant knowledge and experience to undertake the valuation. The Group also holds around 830 acres of land for which it is not possible to determine fair value, due to the restricted and limited market for freehold land in the Falkland Islands. Nonetheless the carrying value of land held at historic cost remains sufficiently low to enable Directors to satisfy themselves that no impairment exists at the balance sheet date.

A profit of £20,381,000 (2007: £2,279,000) has been dealt with in the accounts of the Parent Company. As permitted by Section 230 of the Companies Act 1985, the Company has not presented its own profit and loss account. Of the profit of £20,381,000 dealt with in the accounts of the Company, a profit of £20,530,000 arose on the disposal by the Company of its shares in Falkland Oil and Gas Limited to Erebus Limited, a subsidiary company. As the sale was funded by a reinvestment by the Company in redeemable preference shares and loans to Erebus Limited the profit is unrealised and hence not available for distribution. 2 Other reserves Other reserves arose on acquisition by FIH of the Falkland Islands group of companies on formation. The premium on shares issued to acquire Momart International Limited in the year has been credited to other reserves. 62 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 28 Capital and reserves CONTINUED Share capital In thousands of shares On issue at 1 April Issued for cash Issued as acquisition consideration On issue at 31 March – fully paid Ordinary shares 2008 2007 8,468,130 8,379,158 10,000 582,666 88,972 – 9,060,796 8,468,130 2008 £’000 2007 £’000 Authorised: 12,500,000 (2007: 12,500,000) ordinary shares of 10p each 1,250 1,250 Allotted, called up and fully paid: 9,060,796 (2007: 8,468,130) ordinary shares of 10p each 906 847 The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated as its carrying amount where the cash is repayable on demand. Where it is not repayable on demand then the fair value is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance sheet date. Interest-bearing borrowings Fair value, which after initial recognition is determined for disclosure purposes only, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance sheet date. Derivative financial instruments The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined by their market value at the reporting date. IAS 39 categories and fair values The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are not materially different to the carrying values shown in the consolidated balance sheet and Company balance sheet. The following table shows the carrying value for each category of financial instrument: Group Company 2008 £’000 18,450 (7,595) (7,579) (72) 5,353 2007 £’000 12,900 (4,247) (1,100) (1) 2,384 2008 £’000 – (1,071) (7,579) (72) 732 2007 £’000 12,900 (298) (1,100) (1) 222 Available-for-sale financial assets at fair value Financial liabilities at amortised cost Interest bearing borrowings at amortised cost Derivative financial instruments Trade and other receivables (ii) Credit risk Financial risk management Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Group The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group comprises the amounts presented in the balance sheet, which are stated net of provisions for doubtful debt. A provision is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of future cash flows. Management has credit policies in place to manage risk on an ongoing basis. These include the use of customer specific credit limits. Company The majority of the Company’s receivables are with subsidiaries. The Company does not consider these counter-parties to be a significant credit risk. Exposure to credit risk The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Therefore, the maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date was £8,560,000 (2007: £7,521,000) being the total trade receivables, other financial assets and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. 64 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 29 Financial instruments CONTINUED The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the balance sheet date by geographic region was: Falkland Islands Europe North America United Kingdom Other Trade receivables The Company has no trade receivables.

(iii) Liquidity risk Financial risk management Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Group and Company At the beginning of the period the Group had outstanding bank loans of £2.7 million and unsecured loan note commitments of £0.04 million. All payments due during the year with respect to these agreements were met as they fell due. During the year in connection with the acquisition of Momart International Limited the Group acquired additional bank loans of £4.0 million and a bank guarantee of £3.2 million for the deferred consideration due under the deal. In addition the Group has obtained a £2.0 million Revolving Credit facility to fund working capital requirements which remained undrawn at the year end. The Group manages its cash balances centrally at head office and prepares rolling cash flow forecasts to ensure funds are available to meets its secured and unsecured commitments as and when they fall due.

The loan is repayable over a 10 year period from June 2005 and bears interest at 1.4% above the base rate. The loan has been hedged with an interest rate cap of 6.5% and a floor of 4.25%. At 31 March 2008 the fair value of both these instruments was a liability of £7,166 (2007: £1,109). During the year the Group acquired a further loan of £4.0 million in respect of the acquisition of Momart International Limited. The loan is repayable over five years commencing in February 2010 and bears interest at 2% above the base rate. The loan has been hedged with a base rate cap of 6.25% and a floor of 4.25%. At 31 March 2008 the fair value of both these instruments was a liability of £65,549. Interest on the bank guarantee for the deferred consideration payable in respect of the acquisition of Momart International Limited accrues at 2% and is payable monthly. Sensitivity analysis A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the balance sheet date would have increased / (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This calculation assumes that the change occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to risk exposures existing at that date. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant and considers the effect of financial instruments with variable interest rates, financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss or available for sale with fixed interest rates and the fixed rate element of interest rate swaps. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 31 March 2007.

Sensitivity analysis The Group’s available-for-sale financial assets comprise its investment in Falklands Oil and Gas Limited. During the year ended 31 March 2008 Falklands Oil and Gas Limited shares traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange at an average price of 116.8p with a high of 181.0p and a low of 72.5p. Based upon this share price history the value of available-for-sale financial assets held at the balance sheet date could have varied between a low of £10,875,000 (2007: £10,050,000) and a high of £27,150,000 (2007: £22,854,000). (v) Capital Management The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. 30 Operating leases Non-cancellable operating lease rentals are payable as follows: Less than one year Between one and five years More than five years FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 69 Group 2008 £’000 564 2,184 7,478 10,226 2007 £’000 7 – – 7 The Group leases three office premises and a number of storage warehouses under operating leases. Office leases typically run for a period of 3 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Warehouse leases typically run for a period of 25 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Group During the year £67,000 was recognised as an expense in the income statement in respect of operating leases (2007: £71,000). The Company had no operating lease commitments. 31 Capital commitments At the end of the year the Group had no capital commitments not provided for in these financial statements. 32 Related parties The Group has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries (see note 15) and with its directors and executive officers. Transactions with key management personnel During the year the Falkland Islands Company Limited sold four small uninhabitable conservation protected islands off the coast of East Falkland to Sir Harry Solomon, a non-executive director of the Company. The price of £20,000 paid for the islands was the current market price, with reference to a similar transaction with an unrelated party. The Group made a gain of £10,000 on this transaction, under which no amounts are outstanding. Directors of the Company and their immediate relatives control 14.4% per cent of the voting shares of the Company. The compensation of key management personnel (including directors and senior management teams at subsidiaries) is as follows: Key management emoluments including social security costs Company contributions to money purchase pension plans Other post employment benefits Share-related awards Total key management personnel compensation Group Company 2007 £’000 636 30 – 59 725 2008 £’000 527 24 – 76 627 2007 £’000 393 23 – 59 475 2008 £’000 802 60 5 103 970 70 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 33 Subsequent events On 3 April 2008 the Group issued 84,000 share options to senior management at Momart Limited; they have an exercise price of £3.65 and vest on 2 April 2011. 34 Accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with adopted IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based upon historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of the judgements as to asset and liability carrying values which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from these estimates, and taken into account in periodic reviews of the application of such estimates and assumptions. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Actuarial assumptions have been used to value the defined benefit pension liability. Management have selected these assumptions from a range of possible options following consultations with independent actuarial advisors. Impairment tests have been undertaken with respect to intangible assets (see note 12 for further details) using commercial judgment and a number of assumptions and estimates have been made to support their carrying amounts. In determining the fair value of intangible assets recognised on the acquisition of Momart International Limited management acted after consultation with independent intangible asset valuation advisors. 35 Explanation of transition to IFRS As stated in note 1, these are the Group’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Adopted IFRS. The accounting policies set out in note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2008, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 and in the preparation of an opening IFRS balance sheet as at 1 April 2006 (the Group’s date of transition). In preparing its opening IFRS balance sheet, the Group has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with its former basis of accounting (UK GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from UK GAAP to Adopted IFRS has affected the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 71 35 Explanation of transition to IFRS CONTINUED Reconciliation of equity – Group Notes Effect of transition to Previous IFRS GAAP 1 April 2006 £’000 £’000 Non-current assets Intangible assets Property, plant and equipment Investment properties Financial assets Other financial assets Deferred tax assets 3,979 6,422 1,620 2,610 48 – Total non-current assets 14,679 a b c h d e f Current assets Inventories Trade and other receivables Income tax receivable Other financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Total current assets TOTAL ASSETS Current liabilities Interest-bearing loans and borrowings Income tax payable Derivative financial instrument Trade and other payables Total current liabilities Non-current liabilities Interest-bearing loans and borrowings Pension liabilities Deferred tax liabilities Total non-current liabilities TOTAL LIABILITIES Net assets Capital and reserves Called up share capital Share premium account Other reserves a, d, f Retained earnings b Fair value reserve 3,107 1,647 46 96 3,601 8,497 23,176 (542) (424) – (3,831) (4,797) (2,765) (1,909) (853) (5,527) (10,324) 12,852 838 7,064 703 4,247 Effect of transition to Previous IFRS GAAP 31 March 2007 £000 £’000 IFRS £’000 3,979 6,422 1,620 – – – 20,659 23,269 – 699 48 699 3,775 6,268 1,588 2,420 45 – – – – – – – – – – – (8) (32) – – 36,037 14,096 3,107 1,647 46 96 2,677 2,384 – 133 3,601 4,959 8,497 10,153 44,534 24,249 (542) (424) (8) (542) (570) – (3,863) (4,198) (4,837) (5,310) (2,765) (2,191) IFRS £’000 3,979 6,268 1,588 204 – – 10,480 12,900 – 648 – – – – – – – – – – (1) (49) – – 45 648 25,428 2,677 2,384 – 133 4,959 10,153 35,581 (542) (570) (1) (4,247) (5,360) (2,191) (699) (2,608) (1,869) (648) (2,517) 46 (807) (744) (51) (795) – – – – – – 6 (6,180) (4,804) (11,017) (10,114) 33,517 14,135 838 847 7,064 7,206 703 703 – – – – – – (5,503) (10,863) 24,718 847 7,206 703 4,253 5,379 103 5,482 Equity shareholders’ funds 12,852 – 33,517 14,135 – 24,718 – 20,659 20,659 – 10,480 10,480 72 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 35 Explanation of transition to IFRS CONTINUED Reconciliation of profit for the year ended 31 March 2007 – Group Notes d a Revenue Cost of sales Gross profit Pension scheme restructuring costs Other administrative expenses Administrative expenses Other operating income Goodwill amortisation Profit on disposal of financial investment Operating profit before financing costs Financing income Financing expense Pension scheme net financing cost Net financing costs Profit before tax f Taxation Profit on ordinary activities after tax Effect of transition to Adopted Adopted IFRS £’000 – – – – (17) – – 204 – – 7 – – – – (55) – IFRS £’000 15,618 (9,531) 6,087 (105) (4,623) (4,728) 338 – 485 2,182 212 (236) (124) (148) 2,034 (449) 1,585 UK GAAP £’000 15,618 (9,531) 6,087 (105) (4,606) (4,711) 338 (204) 485 1,995 205 (236) (124) (155) 1,840 (394) 1,446 FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 73 35 Explanation of transition to IFRS CONTINUED Reconciliation of equity – Company Effect of Effect of Previous transition to IFRS Previous transition to IFRS GAAP £’000 IFRS 1 April 2006 £’000 £’000 GAAP £’000 IFRS 31 March 2007 £’000 £’000 Non-current assets Financial assets – investment in equity securities 2,610 20,659 23,269 2,420 10,480 12,900 Notes b g Financial assets – investment in subsidiaries Total non-current assets Current assets Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Total current assets TOTAL ASSETS Current liabilities Interest-bearing loans and borrowings Trade and other payables h Derivative financial instrument Total current liabilities Non-current liabilities Interest-bearing loans and borrowings (1,132) f Deferred tax liabilities Total non-current liabilities TOTAL LIABILITIES Net assets Capital and reserves Called up share capital Share premium account Other reserves f, g b Retained earnings Fair value reserve 15,044 17,654 333 1,055 1,388 19,042 (300) (481) – (781) – (1,132) (1,913) 17,129 838 7,064 5,389 3,838 24 – 15,068 15,044 38,337 17,464 61 – 15,105 28,005 – – – – – – (8) – – 46 – – – – – – 62 333 1,055 1,388 222 2,786 3,008 39,725 20,472 (300) (481) (8) (789) (300) (341) – (641) (1,132) (757) 46 – (1,086) (757) (1,875) (1,398) 37,850 19,074 838 7,064 5,389 3,900 847 7,206 5,389 5,632 – – – – – – (1) – – – – – – – – – 60 222 2,786 3,008 31,013 (300) (341) (1) (642) (757) – (757) (1,399) 29,614 847 7,206 5,389 5,692 – 20,659 20,659 – 10,480 10,480 Equity shareholders’ funds 17,129 – 37,850 19,074 – 29,614 The impact on the Company’s profit for the year ended 31 March 2007 on transition to Adopted IFRS was a gain of £41,000 as explained in the notes below. Notes to the transition to Adopted IFRS reconciliations a Under IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” and IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” goodwill arising as a result of a business combination is recognised at cost and capitalised, but is not subject to amortisation, as was previously the case under UK GAAP. Instead, the carrying value of such goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment. An adjustment is therefore required to reverse the goodwill amortisation charges for the year ended 31 March 2007. 74 ANNUAL REPORT 2008 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2008 35 Explanation of transition to IFRS CONTINUED b Under the terms of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” the Group’s investments in Falklands Oil and Gas Limited (“FOGL”) and Falklands Gold and Minerals Limited (“FGML”) at the transition date are deemed to be ‘available-for-sale’ financial assets. Under IFRS available-for-sale financial instruments are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised directly in equity, except for impairment losses. When these items are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit and loss. The fair value of financial instruments classified as available for sale is their quoted bid price at the balance sheet date. Investments at UK GAAP cost Investments at IFRS fair value Revaluation made Bid price at balance sheet date: FOGL FGML Shareholding at balance sheet date: FOGL FGML 2,610 23,269 20,659 143.5p 15.5p 2,420 12,900 10,480 86.0p – 15,000,000 15,000,000 11,250,000 – The Group’s holding in FGML was sold on 12 January 2007 and as a result the asset de-recognised. On de-recognition IAS 39 requires the balance on the revaluation reserve relating to the asset to be transferred to the profit and loss account. There is no impact on the gain on disposal recognised previously under UK GAAP from IFRS adoption, and accordingly no impact on the profit and loss account for the period. c/e As discussed in note 1, the Group has elected to recognise all cumulative actuarial gains and losses as an adjustment to opening retained earnings on transition in keeping with FRS 17, adopted under UK GAAP for the first time for the year ending 31 March 2006. However, whereas previously under UK GAAP the liability as regards defined benefit plans was recognised net of its related deferred tax asset, under IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, the gross liability is to be shown on the face of the balance sheet. In addition, IAS 12 “Income Taxes” requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be separately categorised on the balance sheet as non-current items. d IAS 19 also requires companies to provide for holiday pay based on the number of days leave at each reporting date that employees are entitled to but have not used, and that can be used (or paid) in future periods. The holiday pay accrual required was £32,000 at 1 April 2006 and £49,000 at 31 March 2007. f IAS 12 differs from UK GAAP in its treatment of deferred tax on the charge for share-based payments by requiring the Company to recognise a deferred tax asset based on the intrinsic tax value of the option at the accounting date. On conversion this represented a deferred tax asset of £46,000, which reversed in the year to 31 March 2007 with the reversal being accounted for as a £3,000 increase to the tax charge for the year then ended and the balance of £43,000 being taken directly to equity. g IFRIC 11 requires, in common with UITF 44 under UK GAAP, that for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 March 2007 charges for share-based payments which relate to services rendered by employees of subsidiary entities are accounted for in the holding company as additional costs of investment in the subsidiary. There is no adjustment required on consolidation with regards to the adoption of IFRIC 11. There are no material differences between the cash flow statement presented under Adopted IFRS and the cash flow statement presented under UK GAAP. Under UK GAAP, the parent company was not required to, and did not, present a cash flow statement. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 75 35 Explanation of transition to IFRS CONTINUED h IAS 39 requires that derivative financial instruments are stated at mark-to-market fair value at the balance sheet date with any change in the year on remeasurement taken to the income statement as finance expense or income.
