INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT                                                    
Lonfin today reports on its performance to date.                                
Since the 31st December 2011, our net assets per share, including investments at
market value, increased by 3.8% from 32.7p to 33.93p at 30th April 2012.  The   
Company`s General Portfolio of equities increased in value by 6.4% compared to  
an increase in the Eurofirst 300 index of 5.0%.  The value of our Strategic     
Investments: Western Selection P.L.C., Finsbury Food Group plc and MWB Group    
Holdings Plc increased marginally in the period with a 10.5% rise in the value  
of our holding in Western Selection P.L.C. offset by falls in the other two     
holdings.                                                                       
Following the disposal of the London investment property earlier this year, we  
have recently started to invest the sale proceeds in blue chip stocks held in   
our General Portfolio.  This will be a gradual process as the aim is to buy the 
shares at what the Board considers to be good value.                            
The Board remains cautious about the remainder of the Company`s financial year  
given the continuing uncertainty in the Euro-zone.
