Underlying profits before tax, defined as profit before tax, amortisation, and non-trading items, increased by 2% to £2.1 million (2008: £2.0 million) but the impact of non-recurring, non-cash items resulted in a loss after tax for the year of £1.2 million (2008 profit: £1.4 million). However, despite the reported loss the Group’s finances remain robust and net debt was reduced by £1.9 million to £4.2 million. Earnings per share on underlying profits were 16.5p (2008: 17.1p) although basic loss per share was -12.8p as a result of the non-cash, non-trading items referred to above. The Directors are pleased to be able to recommend the maintenance of the dividend at 8p per share. The performances of our three trading businesses were mixed. The Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company (PHFC) maintained profits with passenger numbers in line with last year, despite significant cost pressures early in the year. In the Falklands trading was difficult with lower profits resulting from reduced levels of economic activity and cost inflation. Momart experienced a particularly challenging year where the decline in the commercial art market and a high reliance on overseas contractors resulted in profits falling significantly below earlier expectations. This led the Directors to review the carrying value of the Momart goodwill, and reduce it by £2.0 million. The fall in global interest rates meant that the revaluation of the Group’s interest rate hedge resulted in a charge of £0.3 million. In items, addition restructuring costs totalled £0.2 million and were offset by a profit on sale of investment properties of £0.2 million (2008: £nil). these non-trading, non-cash to Falkland Oil and Gas The Group has retained its holding of 15 million shares in Falkland Oil and Gas Limited (FOGL) which at the year end had a market value of £10.9 million (2008: £18.5 million). boring programme and the deployment of wave and current meters. The objective is to be technically ready to drill by the end of the third quarter of 2009. Thereafter the timing of drilling is dependent upon rig availability. Investor confidence in FOGL’s prospects was confirmed in May 2009 when an institutional placing of 10.4 million new shares raised £7.2 million after expenses to cover costs in the pre-drilling phase. This issue of new shares reduced our shareholding to 14.6%. Net assets The Group’s financial position remains strong after payment of £1.7 million of Momart deferred consideration and capital expenditure of £1.4 million. At the year end interest bearing obligations totalled £7.2 million and cash balances were £3.0 million. The Group retains a committed £2.0 million undrawn bank facility. Outlook Currently we do not anticipate any improvement in the trading performance of the Group this year although we expect good continuing cash flow which should demonstrate the resilience of our businesses. In the Falklands the year has started slowly with the failure of the Illex squid season and increased retail competition. However, capital investment in the retail business and our property activities should improve performance late in the year. In the UK activity in the commercial art market remains depressed with limited visibility, but the pipeline of exhibitions remains strong and the company’s cost base has been reduced in line with current activity levels. In Gosport the ferry business has remained resilient and we are working closely with the Borough Council on the provision of a new pontoon which will enhance the ferry experience and secure its future for the foreseeable future. Financing arrangements for the new pontoon are still under discussion. Drilling for hydrocarbons in the South Atlantic by FOGL and others gets ever closer and remains a potentially transformational event for the Falkland Islands and your Company. In what has been a difficult year we thank all our staff for their continued efforts and support. Further good progress was made towards drilling with the remaining site survey data collection work completed. This had three components: a site survey programme covering the four top ranked prospects, a geotechnical David Hudd Chairman 16 June 2009 Managing Director’s Business Review FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 3 John Foster Managing Director Overview The year to 31 March 2009 was a challenging year as the effects of the global economic downturn began to be felt, particularly in the second half of the year. Although none of the Group’s operations were immune from the effects of recession, unlike many other companies the Group as a whole traded profitably, generating record levels of turnover and underlying pre-tax profits of £2.1 million. Significant non-trading charges were incurred in the year although these were very largely non-cash in nature. All three of the Group’s essential service businesses remained profitable throughout the year and most importantly the Group’s net cash flow (net cash flow from operating activities, see page 25) after the payment of corporation tax rose by over 40% to £4.2 million. Capital expenditure of £1.4 million was made during the year to strengthen the Group’s operating infrastructure but despite this high level of investment, the Group was still able to pay an increased dividend and reduce its net borrowing from £9.1 million to £7.2 million retaining cash balances at 31 March 2009 of £3.0 million (2008: £3.0 million). Turnover increased by 84% to £31.7 million The year to 31 March 2009 saw Group turnover increase by over 84% to £31.7 million (2008: £17.2 million) as a result of the acquisition of Momart, the Group’s fine art logistics business, in March 2008 which accounted for all the increase. Underlying pre-tax profit ahead by 3% to £2.1 million Before amortisation and non-trading items, after taking account of all normal operating expenditure and bank interest, the Group’s underlying pre-tax profits showed a small increase over the prior year as shown above, rising to a record level of £2.1 million. Underlying profit Year ended 31 March (Loss)/profit before tax as reported Add back: amortisation and non-trading items Amortisation of intangibles Impairment of goodwill Restructuring costs Revaluation of interest rate collar Less: profit on sale of investment properties Underlying pre-tax profit 2009 £m 2008 £m (0.63) 1.91 0.40 1.98 0.23 0.33 (0.24) 2.07 0.03 – – 0.07 – 2.01 Underlying profit before tax excludes the amortisation of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and non-trading items (profit on sale of investment properties, restructuring costs and fair-value movements on derivative financial instruments). See Segmental Analysis at note 3, page 39. Impairment of goodwill and intangibles £2.0 million Although Momart enjoyed record levels of activity in 2008/9, as a result of the downturn in the commercial art market in the second half of the year the Group reassessed the carrying value of the goodwill linked to the acquisition of Momart and as a result an impairment charge of £2.0 million was incurred, which together with the normal annual charge for the amortisation of intangibles of £0.4 million took the Group into loss during the year. Importantly these charges in relation to intangible assets had no cash impact on the Group and did not affect distributable reserves. Non-trading items: Profit on sale of investment properties £0.2 million The decision to upgrade the quality of the Group’s property portfolio in the Falklands led to the sale of three older houses which generated these profits. Restructuring costs £0.2 million Restructuring costs relate both to redundancy costs at Momart where staff numbers were reduced by c.12% in March 2009 and costs in our Falklands operations incurred when the retail director retired after 32 years service to be replaced by an experienced executive recruited from the UK. Revaluation of interest rate collar £0.3 million To hedge the Group against increases in interest rates the Group has two interest rate collars which provide a cap on the maximum base rate payable by the Group and also 4 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED include a minimum figure payable. Approximately £5.1 million of the Group’s loans are covered by such collars where the effective base rate paid by the Group is fixed at a floor rate of 4.25%. In addition to the increased bank interest charged in the profit and loss account as a result of having these effective floors to base rates, International Financial Reporting Standards require the revaluation of these financial instruments to market value at each balance sheet date. With the unprecedented fall in base rates to 0.5% in the second half of the year, the market value of the interest rate floors built in to these instruments, which represent a liability for the Group, increased sharply (for more details see notes 24 and 29). The provision made to reflect the market value of these instruments increased by £0.3 million in the year to £0.4 million (2008: £0.1 million) although there was no additional cash cost to the Group. This provision will reverse over the remaining life of the instruments and this charge has been disclosed as a non-trading item. Reported pre-tax loss £0.6 million (2008: profit £1.9 million) After the impairment of goodwill, normal amortisation charges and the other non-cash, non-trading items noted above, the Group reported a pre-tax loss of £0.6 million compared to a profit before tax of £1.9 million in the prior year. Earnings per share As noted above before amortisation and non-trading items, the Group’s underlying profits increased by 3% during the year to £2.1 million from £2.0 million in 2008.

In contrast at the company’s DIY Home Builder and Home Living outlets, which benefited from investment and rebranding in the prior year, revenues proved more resilient, increasing by 4.2% vs. 2007/8 (DIY revenues accounted for c.17% of overall retail sales). In overall terms total retail sales were flat at £8.0 million during the year (2008: £8.0 million). 21% 16% 63% 18% 17% 65% In anticipation of an increase in selling space at FIC’s principal retail competitor in Stanley, work commenced during the year on the expansion of the company’s own West Store supermarket. Completion of the expansion is scheduled late in the new financial year and as a result selling space will increase by some 50% and a car park will be provided with trolley access to a new entrance at the rear of the store. In addition, FIC’s management team was strengthened during the year by the recruitment of new Retail Director, Paul Lewis, who has over 20 years experience of UK supermarket and non-food retailing. These actions will help FIC retain its leading market position in Stanley. Automotive revenues declined from the record levels seen in 2007/8 as sales of budget 4x4’s slowed due to the adverse movement in the dollar exchange rate forcing up vehicle prices. At Darwin Shipping, the level of third party freight revenue remained satisfactory but was below levels seen in the prior year. FIC’s Fishing Agency profits fell back from the bumper levels seen in 2007/8 but a reasonable Illex squid catch in April /May 2008 helped deliver a satisfactory performance. As in prior years Insurance and Travel continued to make steady progress and rental income FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 7 Aerial view of central Stanley, the Group’s Capstan Gift Store and West Store supermarket in the foreground. from FIC’s property portfolio increased helped by the construction of four new apartments in central Stanley. A particular highlight in the second half of the year was Penguin Travel which saw revenues from land-based excursions for cruise ship passengers landing in Stanley increase sharply as the result of a new contract with leading cruise operator Holland America Lines. During the year work commenced on the conversion of the former Upland Goose Hotel into a unique development of 12 residential properties with a prime location on the waterfront in central Stanley. The conversion work is expected to be complete and the units available for sale in late 2009. Operating profits in the Falklands were squeezed during the year by competitive pressure on gross margins in retailing and a general increase in costs (local RPI rose by 5.3%). As a result, in the year to 31 March 2009 underlying operating profits in Stanley (after the allocation of head office costs) fell back from £1.2 million to £1.0 million. At the pre-tax level, the Falklands businesses activities generated an underlying profit before tax of £1.1 million, a decrease of £0.2 million on the prior year (2008: £1.3 million).

In the quieter winter period like-for-like passenger numbers declined as discretionary weekend leisure journeys 8 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED Spirit of Gosport departing Gosport. were affected by the onset of recession. Despite the economic downturn, the total number of passenger journeys remained largely unchanged over the year as a whole. During the year the core passenger ferry service accounted for more than 90% of revenue but PHFC also continued to provide water taxi services for Berkeley Homes, with a shuttle service operating at peak times, taking residents from Royal Clarence Marine on the Gosport shore to our pontoon at Portsea. In addition PHFC continued with its programme of summer leisure cruises in the Solent area, with turnover up £21,000 producing a small positive contribution in the year. As in the prior year, fares were increased on 1 June 2008, with normal daily adult return fares rising by 4.8% to £2.20 and fares for regular users buying open 10-trip tickets increasing from £8.40 to £9.00, offering regular ferry users return crossings at well under £2.00. In addition, the Company continued to offer concessionary fares to children and seniors over 60. With a 0.2% increase in passenger numbers and fare rises in June, total revenue from PHFC increased by 5.4% to £3.7 million. 2008/9 initially saw rapid cost inflation with particularly large increases in the price of fuel, which fell back later in the year. With close control of costs, after the allocation of head office costs, underlying operating profit of the ferry operations increased from £0.7 million to £0.8 million in the year to 31 March 2009. After interest charges PHFC generated a profit before tax of £0.6 million compared to £0.6 million in 2007/8. 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. We are in advanced negotiations with the Council to build a replacement pontoon which is expected to be installed in late 2009. Although discussions with the Council are still in progress it has been accepted in principle that the economic cost of the new pontoon will be borne by the ferry company and ultimately by passengers. Fare increases will be kept to the minimum necessary to avoid damaging passenger goodwill but even after the withdrawal of the effective Council subsidy and the consequent increase in fares, the absolute cost for ferry users will still be modest and the service will continue to offer excellent value for money compared to alternative modes of transport. The success of the Gosport ferry is underpinned by a remarkable safety and reliability record. In 2008/9 operating 181⁄2 hours each day over 364 days, over 99.8% of all 72,000 ferry trips departed on time, an improvement of 0.2% on the prior year. In turn both the safety record and the reliability of this essential service rest upon the exceptional commitment and expertise of ferry staff who, as with our business in the Falklands, are proud to be a part of the community they serve. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 9 Momart revenues 2009: Museums and Public Galleries • Commercial Galleries • Storage • 10% 28% 62% company’s cost base by a limited programme of voluntary and compulsory redundancies focussed principally on Gallery Services and central administration. Momart’s total workforce was reduced by 12% at a cost of £0.1 million in restructuring charges. Annual savings are estimated at £0.5 million. In addition an internal reorganisation was effected to improve flexibility and the company’s capacity to respond rapidly to changing client needs. . a i z e n e V , o c r a M n a S i d a i r o t a r u c o r P a l l e d e n o i s s e c n o c e l i t n e g r e P Momart Momart, the Group’s fine art and logistics company, was acquired on 5 March 2008 and this is the first year where a full 12 months of its activities have been consolidated into the Group’s results. The company is the UK’s leading provider of specialist art logistics services to public museums, private collections and commercial art galleries. Momart’s reputation for providing the highest standards of service and support to its extensive public and private client base is recognised internationally.

In May 2008 the company moved from its old premises in Hackney to newer more spacious modern offices in Whitechapel which offer an improved working environment for staff and a more professional facility for clients. Momart enjoyed a strong start to the year and revenues across its three divisions were well ahead of 2007 levels. Much of Momart’s activities involve utilising specialist agents in Europe and the US who provide assistance with the movement of art works. From mid-year onwards the rapid weakening of Sterling against the Euro led to a sharp increase in the cost of these agents’ services which rose from just 27% in 2007/8 to over 44% of the company’s direct cost for the year ended 31 March 2009. This sharp rise in costs could not be fully recovered from clients and this had a significant downward impact on gross margins. At the half year this pressure on margins had offset all the benefit of increased revenues. In the second half this trend continued and in addition there was a marked reduction in transaction volume in the global commercial art market, which in turn led to a rapid contraction in demand for Momart’s Gallery Services division. In response to the changing market conditions in the early part of 2009 the decision was taken to reduce the Momart was the contracted transport and logistics agency for the Byzantium Exhibition at the Royal Academy in 2008/9. 10 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED Notwithstanding the problems seen in Gallery Services where like-for-like revenues fell over the year by 4% (after being ahead 26% at the half year), demand in the company’s largest division, Exhibition Services, was strong throughout 2008/9. Exhibitions supported by Momart during the year included Babylon at the British Museum, the Klimt exhibition at Tate Liverpool, Van Dyck and Britain at Tate Britain and Byzantium at the Royal Academy. As a result of this surge in activity, like-for-like Exhibition revenues grew in the year to 31 March 2009 by 54% to over £9.6 million. Revenues from Storage also grew healthily, rising steadily during the year by 19% to over £1.5 million and a new 6,000 sq. ft. warehouse was leased in November 2008 to cope with increased demand. After the allocation of head office costs, underlying operating profits at Momart were £0.9 million (2008: £0.1m). Falkland Oil and Gas Limited (FOGL) The Group continues to hold its strategic stake in FOGL of 15 million shares which, following the recent fund raising at the oil and gas company in May 2009, now represents a 14.6% interest in the enlarged equity of FOGL. Following the farm-in agreement with BHP Billiton (BHPB) in October 2007, FOGL retains a 49% interest in the license area it has developed in the East Falklands basin. BHPB holds the other 51% and has operating responsibility for progressing exploration. As part of the October 2007 farm-in agreement BHPB has agreed to fund 68% of the exploration costs for a minimum of two wells. On 20 May 2009, FOGL announced it was to issue a further 10.45 million shares at a price of 73p generating net proceeds of £7.2 million. These will be used to provide additional working capital to fund long-lead drilling equipment and administrative costs through 2010 and into 2011. The Directors of FOGL also announced that they expect to raise the additional capital required to fund the Company’s share of the drilling programme through a further farm-out and/or equity issue in due course. During the year further progress was made with preparations for drilling. After careful deliberation with BHPB a number of potential sites for drilling have been selected and site surveys completed in these locations. Environmental Impact Assessments are under way and BHPB hopes to secure consents for drilling from the Falklands Islands Government and commence detailed planning of the logistics of drilling later in the year. FOGL’s operating partner BHPB’s license commitments require it to start drilling before the end of 2010. A drill date has yet to be announced and will depend upon rig availability. BHPB is actively searching for a suitable deep water rig and although the rig market remains tight with all 35 suitable rigs currently contracted, availability is expected to improve and rates are expected to fall over the coming months. FOGL’s management believe the East Falklands basin will prove economically viable with oil prices as low as $25 per barrel. At 31 March 2009 the bid price of FOGL shares was 72.5p (31 March 2008: 123p) giving a market value for FIH’s shareholding of £10.9 million (2008: £18.5 million). The investment has a base cost to the Group of £2.5 million equivalent to 16p per share. Balance sheet The Group’s Balance Sheet remains strong with net assets as at 31 March 2009 of £24.9 million (2008: £34.0 million) borrowing of £7.2 million (2008: £9.1 million) and cash balances of £3.0 million (2008: £3.0 million). The carrying value of intangible assets fell by £2.4 million to £13.9 million following the decision to write down the value of goodwill arising from the acquisition of Momart by £2.0 million and normal annual amortisation charges of £0.4 million. The net book value of property, plant and equipment increased by £0.3 million to £7.7 million in the year to 31 March 2009. Fixed asset additions totalled £1.3 million while the depreciation charge for the year amounted to £0.8 million. The Group’s investment properties comprise commercial and residential properties in the Falkland Islands held for rental. The net book value of these properties increased by £0.2 million following the construction of four new apartments which were transferred from property plant and equipment. The Directors estimate that the fair value of this property portfolio at 31 March 2009 was £2.5 million compared to a book value of £1.1 million. The Group’s holding of 15 million shares in FOGL is shown under Financial assets – available for sale equity securities. The number of shares held remained unchanged during the year. Under IFRS, the investment is shown at market value which at 31 March 2009 amounted to £10.9 million (2008: £18.5 million). Deferred tax assets relating to future pension liabilities remained unchanged at £0.5 million. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 11 Inventories decreased from £3.3 million to £2.6 million at 31 March 2009. £0.3 million of the £2.6 million relates to work in progress at Momart (2008: £0.2 million) and the balance of £2.3 million represent stock held for resale in the Group’s retail operations in the Falklands, which saw a sharp reduction of c.£1.0 million during the year. This decrease was due in part to a reduction in vehicle stocks of c.£0.3 million reflecting lower expected orders of 4x4 vehicles and also to timing differences in the arrival of replenishment stocks from the UK. Trade and other receivables balances were reduced by £1.1 million, decreasing from £5.4 million in March 2008 to just £4.4 million as at 31 March 2009 as part of a focussed effort to improve debtor collection. Despite the payment of £1.7 million in deferred consideration to the former owners of Momart and bank loan repayments of a further £0.6 million, the Group retained healthy cash balances of £3.0 million at 31 March 2009 (2008: £3.0 million). Following these scheduled repayments the Group’s loans and bank borrowing were reduced from £9.1 million at the start of the year to £7.2 million as at 31 March 2009. £2.1 million of these loans are due for repayment in the coming year and are shown under current liabilities. Income tax payable within the next 12 months reduced to £0.5 million (2008: £1.4 million) as a result of making payments on account in respect of taxes due at Momart. As noted above the Group has hedged its interest rate exposure by taking out a structured collar to guard against adverse movements in interest rates. Under IFRS these instruments are included in the balance sheet as derivative financial instruments at fair value, which at 31 March 2009 represented a liability of £0.4 million (2008: £0.1 million). Trade and other payables increased from £7.6 million to £7.9 million. As in prior years these balances also include extended credit arrangements with long-standing suppliers connected to the Group’s Falklands business. As at 31 March 2009, the liability due in respect of the Group’s defined benefit pension schemes decreased marginally to £2.0 million (2008: £2.1 million). The scheme in the Falklands is unfunded and liabilities are met as they fall due from operating cash flow. At PHFC a structured programme of regular annual payments has been agreed with the UK Pensions Regulator to eliminate the deficit of £0.2 million over the medium term. Deferred tax liabilities at 31 March 2009 were essentially unchanged from the prior year at £2.1 million (2008: £2.1 million). Net assets per share were 276p per share at 31 March 2009 (2008: 376p per share). Cash flow The Group’s operating cash flow can be summarised as follows: Year ended 31 March Underlying PBT Depreciation Interest payable Restructuring costs EBITDA Share based payments Decrease in working capital Tax paid Net cash flow from operating activities 2009 £m 2.1 0.8 0.5 (0.2) 3.2 0.3 2.1 2008 £m 2.0 0.5 – – 2.5 0.1 0.9 (1.4) (0.5) 4.2 3.0 Cash flow from operating activities With the downturn in the global economy the Group increased its focus on cash management and generated a strong positive cash flow. Reflecting the expanded operating capacity of the Group, EBITDA increased to over £3.6 million (2008: £2.8 million) and with the effective management of working capital producing another £2.0 million, despite an increase of £1.0 million in corporation tax paid, net cash flow from operating activities increased by £1.2 million to over £4.2 million. Cash flow from investing and financing activities During the year the Group paid a dividend to shareholders of £0.7 million: 8p per share (2008: 7.0p per share). To strengthen its operating base, £1.4 million was invested in fixed assets across the Group (2008: £0.9 million). £0.7 million was committed in the Falklands on the conversion of the Upland Goose Hotel, further investment in the West Store and construction of new investment properties; £0.6 million was invested in new vehicles and office equipment at Momart. With higher borrowing arising from the acquisition of Momart net bank interest paid over the year increased to £0.4 million (2008: £nil). £0.3 million was 12 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Managing Director’s Business Review CONTINUED generated from the sale of three older houses within FIC’s property portfolio. second half of the year will have a significant impact on costs and fares in future years. During the year the Group drew down £0.2 million in lease finance linked to vehicle purchases, made scheduled repayments of bank loans of £0.6 million and paid £1.7 million in deferred consideration in connection with the acquisition of Momart. After making these payments of £2.3 million the Group’s cash deposits were unchanged at £3.0 million.

In the Falklands the failure of the Illex squid catch in April / May 2009 saw an early closure to the fishery and minimal returns for FIC’s fishing agency. In retailing FIC faces further pressure from a newly enlarged competitor supermarket although the opening of the new West Store extension later in the year should help redress the balance. Sales are also expected to commence of the 12 unique heritage properties that make up the Upland Goose development. At Momart the company’s cost base has been lowered and made more flexible, but no meaningful recovery in demand is anticipated in the near term. Revenue from the Gosport Ferry is expected to remain stable although the installation of the new pontoon in the With demand for the Group’s varied services generally flat, the focus of the coming year will be on cost control and cash generation. Business drivers, risk factors and key performance indicators Business drivers All the Group’s businesses are consumer oriented operations and their success is linked to general economic conditions in their markets. Inflation, 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 is boosted by tourist activity and both locations have benefited from increasing tourist numbers in recent years. In the Falklands the strength of the economy is closely linked to the fortunes of the fishing industry and in particular the success of the unpredictable 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 activity in the art market is closely correlated with the performance of the wider global economy albeit with a time lag. In the commercial art market, levels of disposable income among high net worth individuals are a key driver and in the museums sector government and corporate sponsorship are important sources of funding in addition to public admissions revenue which is on an increasing trend. In addition with pressures on institutional budgets the out-sourcing of specialist services by museums and institutions is increasing. Income generated from travelling international exhibitions is an important source of revenue for museums and galleries and is attractive as a means of informal diplomacy for those nations with major cultural inventories. In addition, despite the global downturn the art market is still continuing to develop with the emergence of new buyers, patrons and artists in the Middle East, Far East and Russia. Risk factors PHFC and FIC are both sensitive to changes in local economic conditions. The level of local competition also FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 13 affects their performance. In the Falklands, FIC faces competition in almost every area of its operations but due to the Company’s long established position and accumulated expertise, in most sectors in which it operates 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. In Momart, forward sales projections are monitored and updated and these are an important predictive 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 amount of overtime being worked. John Foster Managing Director 16 June 2009 Although there is no other directly competing service, in Portsmouth 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 PHFC’s strategy and we 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 works in its care. Beyond physical security and the resulting risk to the Company’s reputation, the risks faced by Momart tend to be those global factors which could impact the global art market. In particular the reduction in the personal wealth of collectors and investors will be likely to result in a contraction of personal or institutional budgets which would lead to a reduction in the movement and display of art. The emergence of new competitors could also impact the business adversely. In addition because much of Momart’s business involves working with overseas partners, volatility in the Sterling / Dollar and Sterling / Euro exchange rates has a direct effect on Momart’s cost base and profitability. Key performance indicators At 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 two- thirds of revenues. In addition to sales trends gross margins by product and general costs are also kept under close review. 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. 14 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Board of Directors and Secretary David Hudd (64) Chairman David joined the Board on 4 March 2002 and is Chairman of the Nominations Committee.

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 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. 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 Parent Company will continue in business. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 19 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.

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 Consolidated 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 2009 and of its loss 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 2009; • 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.

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. Basis of preparation 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. 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 33. 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 and derivative financial instruments are stated at their fair value. The current global economic conditions create uncertainty over the level of demand for the Group’s products and services. The Directors have reviewed the Group’s medium term forecasts along with reasonable possible changes in trading performance arising from these uncertainties to ensure committed bank facilities are sufficient to support the Group’s projected liquidity requirements and whether forecast earnings are sufficient to meet the covenants associated with the banking facilities. The Group’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Managing Director’s Business Review on pages 3 to 13. The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are also described in the Managing Director’s Business Review. In addition, note 29 to the financial statements includes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments and hedging activities; and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group has considerable financial resources. As a consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate reserves to continue in operational existence for the forseeable, and have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 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. Presentation of income statement Due to the non-prescriptive nature under IFRS as to the format of the income statement, the format used by the Group is explained below. Operating profit is the pre-finance profit of continuing activities and acquisitions of the Group, and in order to achieve consistency and comparability, is analysed to show separately the results of normal trading performance (“underlying profit”), individually significant charges and credits, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments and amortisation of intangible assets on acquisition. Such items arise because of their size or nature, and in 2009 comprise: • Charges relating to asset impairments which are significant to any reportable segment • Charges relating to the Group’s restructuring programme • Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments • Profits on the disposal of investment properties • Amortisation of intangible assets. In 2008 such items comprised: • Changes in the fair value of financial instruments • Amortisation of intangible assets. The 2008 comparative in the Income Statement for the current year has been restated to reflect these items. 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 15 – 30 years 30 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED 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 and assets-in-construction are 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 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. 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. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 31 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED 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. Finance income and expense 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. 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. 32 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED 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 measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable and represents the amount receivable by the Group for goods supplied and services rendered in the normal course of business, net of discounts and 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. For Fine Art Exhibition logistical work undertaken the amount of profit attributable to the stage of completion of a contract is recognised when the outcome of that contract can be seen with reasonable certainty. Turnover for such contracts is stated at the cost appropriate to their stage of completion plus attributable profits, less amounts recognised previously. Provision is made for any losses as soon as they are foreseeable. 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. 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. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 33 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED 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. 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. 34 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 1 Accounting policies CONTINUED Assets held for leasing out under operating leases are included in investment property (where they constitute land and buildings) or in property, plant and equipment (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 generally measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. 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 Reoprting Interpretations 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) (accounting periods commencing on or after): Effective date Endorsed IFRS 8: Operating segments IAS 1: Amendment to Presentation of financial statements (2007) IAS 23: Amendment to Borrowing costs (2007) IFRS 2: Amendment to Share-based payments IAS 27: Consolidated financial statements and accounting for investments in subsidiaries (2008) Amendments to IFRIC 7 Improving Disclsoures about Financial Instruments 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 2009 1 January 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 Unendorsed IFRS 3 (Revised): Business combinations (2008) Amendments to IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement: Eligible Hedged Items International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Endorsed 1 July 2009 1 July 2009 IFRIC 14: IAS 19 The limit of a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction 1 July 2009 Unendorsed Amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 Embedded Derivatives 30 June 2009 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 purchase.

As a consequence of this review, after taking account of a reduction in activity across the world art markets, an impairment charge of £1,983,000 has been recognised in connection with the goodwill relating to the acquisition of Momart Limited in March 2008. 2 Restructuring charges Charges of £288,000 incurred within operating profit relate primarily to employment termination costs. 3 Gain on sale of investment properties Three investment properties were sold during the year giving rise to a profit on disposal of £242,000. 4 Loss on revaluation of derivative financial instruments IAS 39 requires derivative financial instruments to be valued at the balance sheet date and any difference between that value and the intrinsic value of the instrument to be reflected in the balance sheet as an asset or liability. Any subsequent change in value is reflected in the Income Statement unless hedge accounting is achieved. At the year end the derivatives the Group held resulted in a loss or revaluation of £334,000 (2008: £72,000). FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 43 7 Expenses and auditors’ remuneration Group Company 2009 £’000 2008 £’000 2009 £’000 2008 £’000 Included in profit/loss are the following expense /(income): Direct operating expenses arising from investment properties which generated rental income in the period Depreciation Impairment – ships Amortisation of intangible assets Foreign currency differences Impairment loss on trade and other receivables Cost of inventories recognised as an expense Operating lease payments 99 804 40 398 (89) 91 7,393 594 69 534 – 28 (4) 82 8,649 67 Auditors’ remuneration Audit of these financial statements and amounts receivable by auditors and their associates in respect of: Audit of subsidiaries’ financial statements pursuant to legislation Other services relating to taxation All other services Total auditors’ remuneration – – – – – – – – 2009 £’000 25 60 – – 85 – – – – – – – – 2008 £’000 24 62 23 15 124 Amounts paid to the Company’s auditors and their associates in respect of services to the Company, other than the audit of the Company’s financial statements, have not been disclosed as the information is required instead to be disclosed on a consolidated basis. 8 Staff numbers and cost The average number of persons employed by the Group (including Directors) during the year, analysed by category, was as follows: At Gosport Ferry At Falkland Islands Company, in Stanley At Falkland Islands Support, in UK At Momart Limited At Head Office Total average staff numbers Number of employees Number of employees Group Company 2009 £’000 41 88 4 118 3 254 2008 £’000 40 87 4 10 3 144 2009 £’000 2008 £’000 – – – – 3 3 – – – – 3 3 44 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 8 Staff numbers and cost CONTINUED The aggregate payroll cost of these persons were as follows: Group Company ; Wages and salaries Share-based payments (see note 27) Social security costs Contributions to defined contribution plans 2009 £’000 2008 £’000 7,958 3,969 297 665 403 164 248 174 Total employment costs 9,323 4,555 2009 £’000 529 151 58 25 763 2008 £’000 506 84 46 24 660 Details of Directors’ remuneration are provided in the Directors’ Report, under the heading “Details of Directors’ Remuneration and Emoluments” on page 17. 9 Finance income and expense Bank interest receivable Finance lease interest receivable Expected return on pension scheme assets Total financial income Interest payable on bank loans Interest cost on pension scheme liabilities Amortisation of loan fees Interest attributable to deferred consideration payable Loss on remeasurement of derivative financial instrument Total financial expense Net financing cost Bank interest receivable Interest payable on bank loans Net bank interest Other financing charges (from above) Net financing cost 2009 £’000 76 74 22 172 (464) (152) (30) (104) (334) (1,084) (912) 2009 £’000 76 (464) (388) (524) (912) 2008 £’000 240 64 16 320 (200) (145) – (4) (72) (421) (101) 2008 £’000 240 (200) 40 (141) (101) 10 Taxation Recognised in the income statement Current tax expense Current year Adjustments for prior years Current tax expense Deferred tax expense Origination and reversal of temporary differences Reduction in tax rate Adjustment for prior years Deferred tax (credit) /expense Total tax expense Reconciliation of effective tax rate (Loss) /profit on ordinary activities before tax FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 45 2009 £’000 718 (130) 588 (158) – 96 (62) 2008 £’000 645 (122) 523 (25) (33) 66 8 526 531 2009 £’000 2008 £’000 (627) 1,909 Tax using the UK corporation tax rate of 28% (2008: 30%) (176) 573 Expenses not deductible for tax purposes Other timing differences Excess foreign tax Marginal relief Lower tax charges overseas Reduction in deferred tax rate Adjustments to tax charge in respect of previous periods Deferred tax asset not recognised Total tax expense Tax recognised directly in equity Current tax recognised directly in equity Deferred tax (credit ) /expense recognised directly in equity Total tax recognised directly in equity 697 – (39) (4) (1) – (34) 83 526 2009 £’000 – (13) (13) 37 22 – (3) (9) (33) (56) – 531 2008 £’000 – 106 106 46 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 11 Earnings per share The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on profits on ordinary activities after taxation, and the weighted average number of shares in issue in the period, excluding shares held under the Employee Share Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) (see note 28).

A segment level summary at goodwill is shown below: Brought forward at 1 April 2007 Additions Carried forward at 31 March 2008 Adjustment to fair value Impairment loss recognised in year Balance at 31 March 2009 Impairment – 7,607 7,607 (47) (1,983) 5,577 Art logistics and storage £’000 Ferry services (Portsmouth) £’000 Total £’000 3,979 7,607 11,586 (47) (1,983) 3,979 – 3,979 – – 3,979 9,556 The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired. An impairment test is a comparison of the carrying value of the assets of a CGU, based on a value-in-use calculation, to their recoverable amounts. Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value an impairment results. During the year each CGU containing goodwill was separately assessed and tested for impairment, with £1,983,000 (2008: £nil) impairment charges resulting. As part of testing goodwill for impairment detailed forecasts of operating cash flows for the next five years are used, which are based on approved budgets and plans by the Board of Falkland Islands Holdings plc. These forecasts represent the best estimate of future performance of the CGUs based on past performance and expectations for the market development of the CGU. A number of key assumptions are used as part of impairment testing. These key assumptions are made by management reflecting past experience combined with their knowledge of future performance and relevant external sources of information. Discount rates Within impairment testing models cash flows of all CGUs are discounted using a pre tax discount rate of 13.3%. Management have determined that this rate is appropriate as the risk adjustment applied within the discount rate reflects the risks and rewards inherent to each CGU, based on the industry and geographical location. Both Ferry Services and Art Logistics and Storage have stable core revenue streams and are considered to have a similar risk profile. Long term growth rates Long term growth rates of 2% have been used for all CGUs as part of the impairment testing models. This growth rate does not exceed the long term average growth rate for the UK in which the CGU operates. Other assumptions Other assumptions used within impairment testing models include an estimation of long term effective tax rate for the CGUs and the terminal values of the CGUs. The long-term effective rate of tax is 28%, consistent with the current UK tax rate. The terminal value is calculated based on the Gordon Growth model. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 49 12 Intangible assets CONTINUED Sensitivity to changes in assumptions Using a discounted cash flow methodology necessarily involves making numerous estimates and assumptions regarding growth, operating margins, tax rates, appropriate discount rates, capital expenditure levels and working capital requirements. These estimates will likely differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows, and it is possible that these differences could be material. In addition, judgements are applied by the Directors in determining the level of cash generating units and the criteria used to determine which assets should be aggregated. A difference in testing levels could further affect whether an impairment is recorded and the extent of impairment loss. Assumptions specific to ferry services Value in use was determined by discounting future cash flows in line with the other assumptions discussed above. Management have forecast consistent growth in cash flows of 2% in both the short term and the long term. The value in use was determined to exceed the carrying amount and no impairment has been recognised. It is not considered that a reasonably possible change in any of these assumptions would generate a different impairment test outcome to the one included in this annual report. Assumptions specific to arts logistics and storage Value in use was determined by discounting future cash flows in line with the other assumptions discussed above. Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the five-year business plan. No growth was projected in the next two years, and 10.5% growth in the following three years, this is considered to be a prudent estimate given uncertainty in the economy. The long term growth rate is projected to be 2% thereafter. The carrying value of the unit was determined to be higher than its recoverable amount and an impairment loss of £1,983,000 (2008: £nil) was recognised. Events and circumstances leading up to the recognition of this impairment are discussed in the Managing Director’s Business Review on pages 3 to 13. 50 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 13 Property, plant and equipment Assets in construction £’000 Cost: At 1 April 2007 Acquisitions through business combinations Other acquisitions Disposals At 31 March 2008 Reclassified Other acquisitions Recognised as investment property Disposals – – – – – 319 363 – – Freehold land & buildings £’000 3,358 – 408 – 3,766 (319) 34 (180) – Group Long leasehold land & buildings £’000 342 307 44 – 693 – 249 – – Vehicles, plant & equipment £’000 Ships £’000 Total £’000 3,317 2,985 10,002 – 46 – 403 409 (29) 710 907 (29) 3,363 3,768 11,590 – 21 – – – 650 – (26) – 1,317 (180) (26) At 31 March 2009 682 3,301 942 3,384 4,392 12,701 Accumulated depreciation: At 1 April 2007 Charge for the year Disposals At 31 March 2008 Charge for the year Impairment Disposals At 31 March 2009 Net book value: At 1 April 2007 At 31 March 2008 – – – – – – – – – – At 31 March 2009 682 The Company has no tangible fixed assets. 1,432 85 – 1,517 73 – – 1,590 1,926 2,249 1,711 57 18 – 75 18 – – 93 285 618 849 262 153 – 415 138 40 – 593 3,055 2,948 2,791 1,983 3,734 246 (29) 502 (29) 2,200 4,207 575 – (22) 804 40 (22) 2,753 5,029 1,002 1,568 1,639 6,268 7,383 7,672 FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 51 Residential and commercial property £’000 889 12 – 901 180 100 (50) 1,131 32 32 64 36 (18) 82 857 837 1,049 Group Freehold land £’000 731 40 (51) 720 – – – Total £’000 1,620 52 (51) 1,621 180 100 (50) 720 1,851 – – – – – – 731 720 720 32 32 64 36 (18) 82 1,588 1,557 1,769 14 Investment property At 1 April 2007 Acquisitions Disposals At 31 March 2008 Transferred from fixed assets in construction Acquisitions Disposals At 1 March 2009 Accumulated depreciation: At 1 April 2007 Charge for the year At 31 March 2008 Charge for the year Disposals At 1 March 2009 Net book value at 1 April 2007 Net book value at 31 March 2008 Net book value at 31 March 2009 Investment properties comprise residential and commercial property held for rental in the Falklands with a fair value of approximately £2.5 million at 31 March 2009. 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 several hundreds of 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. The Company holds no investment properties. 52 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 15 Investments in subsidiaries The Group and Company have the following direct and indirect investments in subsidiaries: Country of incorporation Class of shares held Ownership % 2009 2008 The Falkland Islands Company Limited UK Ordinary shares of £1 Preference shares of £10 The Falkland Islands Trading Company Limited UK Ordinary shares of £1 Darwin Shipping Limited* Falkland Islands Ordinary shares of £1 The Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company Limited Portsea Harbour Company Limited* Clarence Marine Engineering Limited* Gosport Ferry Limited* Momart International Limited Momart Limited* Dadart Limited* Erebus Limited* UK UK UK UK UK UK UK Ordinary shares of £1 Ordinary shares of £1 Ordinary shares of £1 Ordinary shares of £1 Ordinary shares of £1 Ordinary shares of £1 Ordinary shares of £1 Falkland Islands Ordinary shares of £1 Preference shares of £1 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% * These investments are not held by the Company but are indirect investments held through a subsidiary of the Company.

The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options are as follows: Outstanding at the beginning of the year Forfeited during the year Exercised during the year Granted during the year Lapsed during the year Outstanding at the year end Vested options exerciseable at the year end Weighted average exercise price (£) 2009 3.16 – – 3.38 3.65 3.22 3.48 Number of options 2009 659,722 – – 243,221 (12,000) 890,943 295,020 Weighted average exercise price (£) 2008 3.24 – 1.36 2.81 – 3.16 2.91 Number of options 2008 418,209 – (35,000) 276,513 – 659,722 168,992 FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 65 28 Capital and reserves Reconciliation of movement in capital and reserves – Group Called up share capital £’000 847 – – – – 59 – – – Balance at 1 April 2007 Profit for the year Share-based payments Deferred tax on share-based payments Dividends Issue of shares Premium on shares issued in the year, net of expenses 1 Change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets Actuarial gain on pension, net of tax Financial assets fair value revaluation reserve £’000 10,480 – – – – – – 5,516 – Share premium account £’000 7,206 – – – – – – – – Other reserves £’000 703 – – – – – 2,442 – – Balance at 31 March 2008 906 15,996 7,206 3,145 Loss for the year Share-based payments Reserve transfer re-impairment Dividends Change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets Actuarial gain on pension, net of tax – – – – – – – – – – (7,560) – – – – – – – – – (1,983) – – – Retained earnings £’000 5,482 1,378 164 3 (591) – – – Total equity £’000 24,718 1,378 164 3 (591) 59 2,442 5,516 339 339 6,775 (1,153) 297 1,983 (722) 34,028 (1,153) 297 – (722) – (7,560) (23) (23) Balance at 31 March 2009 906 8,436 7,206 1,162 7,157 24,867 1 The premium on shares issues in March 2008 in connection with the acquisition of Momart Limited was credited to other reserves. In the current year the Group recognised an impairment charge of £1,983,000 in relation to goodwill arising on the Momart acquisition. As a result the Group has made a transfer from other reserves to retained earnings of an amount equal to the impairment recognised. The transfer neutralises the impact of the impairment charge recognised on retained earnings reserves. 66 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2009 28 Capital and reserves CONTINUED Reconciliation of movement in capital and reserves – Company Called up share capital £’000 847 – – – – 59 – – Balance at 1 April 2007 Profit for the year Share based payments Deferred tax on share-based payments Dividends Issue of shares Premium on shares issued in the year, net of expenses Change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets Balance at 31 March 2008 906 Loss for the year Reserve transfer re. impairment Share based payments Dividends – – – – Balance at 31 March 2009 906 Financial assets fair value revaluation reserve £’000 10,480 – – – – – – (10,480) – – – – – – Share premium account £’000 7,206 – – – – – – – Other reserves £’000 5,389 – – – – – 2,442 – Retained earnings £’000 5,692 20,381 164 2 (591) – – – Total equity £’000 29,614 20,381 164 2 (591) 59 2,442 (10,480) 7,206 7,831 25,648 41,591 – – – – – (921) – – (10,625) (10,625) 921 297 (722) – 297 (722) 7,206 6,910 15,519 30,541 1 Financial assets fair value revaluation reserve The fair value reserve includes the cumulative net change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets until the investment is derecognised or impaired. A loss of £10,625,000 (2008 profit: £20,381,000) 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 loss of £10,625,000 dealt with in the accounts of the Company in the current year, £921,000 arose on recognition of an impairment in the Company’s investment in Momart International Limited. The premium on shares issues in March 2008 in connection with the acquisition of Momart International Limited was credited to other reserves. As a result the Company has made a transfer from other reserves to retained earnings of an amount equal to the impairment recognised. The transfer neutralises the impact of the impairment charge on retained earnings reserves. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 67 28 Capital and reserves CONTINUED Of the profit of £20,381,000 dealt with in the accounts of the Company in the prior year 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. During the year the Company has elected to recognise an impairment charge in relation to its investment in Erebus to reflect the decline in the year in the market value of the shares in Falkland Oil and Gas Limited held by Erebus Limited of £12,094,000. This reduces the unrealised profit unavailable for distribution on the sale of the shares to Erebus Limited to £8,436,000.

Trade and other receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance sheet date if the effect is material. Trade and other payables The fair value of trade and other payables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the balance sheet date if the effect is material. 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 2009 £’000 2008 £’000 Available-for-sale financial assets at fair value 10,890 18,450 Financial liabilities at amortised cost Interest bearing borrowings at amortised cost Derivative financial instruments Trade and other receivables (7,913) (7,195) (406) 4,424 (7,595) (7,579) (72) 5,353 2009 £’000 – (361) (5,828) (406) 19 2008 £’000 – (1,071) (7,579) (72) 732 FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 69 29 Financial instruments CONTINUED (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 £7,645,000 (2008: £8,560,000) being the total trade receivables, other financial assets and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. 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 debtors.

No further analysis has been provided for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables from group companies, other receivables and other financial assets as there is limited exposure to credit risk and no provisions for impairment have been recognised. (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 £6.0 million and unsecured loan note commitments of £3.0 million. All payments due during the year with respect to these agreements were met as they fell due. The Group continues to maintain a £2.0 million Revolving Credit facility to fund working capital requirements which was 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.

Sensitivity analysis Group A 10% percent weakening of the following currencies against the pound sterling at 31 March 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 other exchange rates and interest rates, remain constant and is performed on the same basis for the year ended 31 March 2008.

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 base rate cap of 6.5% and a base rate floor of 4.25%. At 31 March 2009 the fair value of both these instruments was a liability of £65,000 (2008: £7,166). The Group has a further loan of £4 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 base rate floor of 4.25%. At 31 March 2009 the fair value of both these instruments was a liability of £342,000 (2008: £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.

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 2009 Falklands Oil and Gas Limited shares traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange at an average price of 100.3p with a high of 165.0p and a low of 53.3p. 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 £7,995,000 (2008: £10,875,000) and a high of £24,750,000 (2008: £27,150,000). (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 2009 £’000 662 2,516 4,661 7,839 Group 2008 £’000 564 2,184 7,478 10,226 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 £594,000 was recognised as an expense in the income statement in respect of operating leases (2008: £67,000). 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. FALKLAND ISLANDS HOLDINGS PLC 75 32 Related parties The Group has a related party relationship with its subsidiaries (see note 15) and with its Directors and executive officers. Directors of the Company and their immediate relatives control 5.6% per cent of the voting shares of the Company.

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. 76 ANNUAL REPORT 2009 Directors and Corporate Information Directors David Hudd Chairman Registered Office Kenburgh Court, John Foster Managing Director 133-137 South Street, Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire CM23 3HX Telephone: 01279 461630 Fax: 01279 461631 Email: admin@fihplc.com Registered number 03416346 Website: www.fihplc.com Auditor KPMG Audit Plc St. Nicholas House, Park Row, Nottingham NG1 6FQ Financial PR Financial Dynamics Holborn Gate, 26 Southampton Buildings, London WC2A 1PB Sir Harry Solomon* Mike Killingley* *Non-executive Directors Company Secretary James Ivins Corporate Information Stockbroker and Nominated Adviser KBC Peel Hunt 111 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1PH Solicitors Bircham Bell and Dyson LLP 50 Broadway, Westminster, London SW1H 0BL Banker HSBC Bank plc 18 North Street, Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire CM23 2LP Registrar Capita Registrars Northern House, Woodsome Park, Fenay Bridge, Huddersfield HD8 0GA Senior Staff Senior Staff Senior Staff in the Falkland Islands at Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company at Momart Limited Roger Spink Director and General Manager Paul Fuller Director and General Manager Eugene Boyle Managing Director Telephone: 00 500 27600 Email: fic@horizon.co.uk Telephone: 023 9252 4551 Telephone: 020 7426 3000 Email: admin@gosportferry.co.uk Email: enquiries@momart.co.uk Website: www.the-falkland-islands-co.com Website: www.gosportferry.co.uk Website: www.momart.co.uk www.fihplc.com
