1 Directors Report and Financial Statements Year ended 31 March 2012 Registered in England & Wales No

2 Directors Michael G Wyatt MBE (Chairman) The Hon Charles Cayzer The Hon Mrs Gilmour Ian A Leeson MA FCA James MB Cayzer-Colvin William P Wyatt Peter R Davies Dominic V Gibbs MA ACA CTA Solicitor Secretary Dominic V Gibbs MA ACA CTA Solicitor Registered Office Cayzer House 30 Buckingham Gate London SW1E 6NN Directors report and financial statements The directors present their report and the audited financial statements for the year to 31 March Results and dividends The result for the year ended 31 March 2012, after taxation, amounted to a profit of 8.16m (2011 loss 1.69m). At the next Annual General meeting the directors intend to propose a final dividend of 4.0p per ordinary share, which, taken with the interim dividend of 2.0p paid on 1 June 2012, represents a total of 6.0p per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 31 March This represents an increase of 3.4% on the total dividends of 5.8p per ordinary share paid by the Company in respect of the year ended 31 March Review of the business The principal activity of the Company during the year continued to be that of a holding company. As at 31 March 2012, the Company s principal investment was a 34.2% ( %) interest in Caledonia, an approved investment trust. The market value of the holding in Caledonia at 31 March 2012 was 291.7m ( m), Other fixed and current asset investments, excluding short term deposits of 6.1m ( m), had a market value of 31.7m as at 31 March 2012 ( m). Employee, community and social issues The Company encourages its employees to develop their professional skills, and will invest in appropriate training and study support in the context of agreed programmes of professional development. During the year political contributions of 15,000 ( ,000) were made to the Conservative Party. The Company also made charitable donations during the year amounting to 12,750 ( ,000). Investment activity and future developments The directors propose to continue to hold the Company s stake in Caledonia for the long term. In consequence, the Company s financial position will remain closely linked to that of Caledonia for the foreseeable future, such that its risks and prospects are largely similar to those of Caledonia. 1

3 Investment activity and future developments (continued) The Company continues to maintain a portfolio of various international quoted companies drawn principally from large capitalisation stocks offering a relatively high dividend yield on which the Company does not have to pay tax. It is intended that this portfolio will be maintained for the long term, albeit that the Company has not resisted making realisations where its appraisal of market conditions has made this appropriate. The Company continues in addition to hold smaller investments in AIM-listed and unquoted companies. The directors continue actively to review a number of other initiatives and notwithstanding that the Company is now relatively fully invested, the Company retains sufficient cash resources to exploit worthwhile buying opportunities in periods of market weakness. Directors and their interests The directors of the Company are listed above and all of the directors served throughout the year. In accordance with the articles of association, Michael Wyatt, The Hon Charles Cayzer, and James Cayzer-Colvin retired by rotation and, being eligible, offered themselves for re-election and were reelected in December Michael Wyatt will stand down as Chairman of the Company at the Company s forthcoming Annual General Meeting and will be succeeded by The Hon Charles Cayzer. Ian Leeson retires from the Company s board by rotation at the Company s Annual General Meeting and does not seek re-election. He joined the board in February 2001 during a period of some difficulty and tension in the Company s affairs, and his sound judgement and patient good humour will be much missed. The Hon Mrs Gilmour and Will Wyatt also retire from the Company s board by rotation at the Company s Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The board notes with sadness the death earlier this year of Sir James Cayzer, Bt., who served as a director of the Company for many years prior to his resignation in May The interests of the directors and their families in the shares of the Company at 31 March 2012 are shown below. The holdings at 1 April 2011 are shown in brackets where any change has occurred during the year.

4 Going Concern The Company s business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, financial position, and financial risk management objectives are described in the review of the business. The Company has considerable financial resources very significantly in excess of its liabilities. As a consequence, the directors believe the Company is well placed to manage its business risks. After considering the matter, the directors have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts. Disclosure of information to the auditor So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing its report, of which the auditor is unaware. Having made enquiries of fellow directors and the Company s auditor, each director has taken all the steps that he is obliged to take as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. Re-appointment of auditor In accordance with Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution is to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for reappointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the auditor of the Company. By order of the board D V Gibbs Secretary 19 September

5 Statement of directors' responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company Law requires directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 4

6 Independent auditors' report to the members of The Cayzer Trust Company Limited We have audited the financial statements of The Cayzer Trust Company Limited for the year ended 31 March 2012 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes 1 to 18. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). This report is made solely to the Company s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 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 auditors 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 As explained more fully in the Directors Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Scope of the audit of the financial statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the financial statements of the The Cayzer Trust Company to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Opinion on financial statements In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the Company s affairs as at 31 March 2012 and of its profit for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Directors Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of directors remuneration specified by law are not made; we have not received all the the information and explanations we require for our audit.

10 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Accounting policies Accounting convention The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements under section 405(2) of the Companies Act 2006, as the Company's subsidiary undertakings, taken together, are not material for the purpose of giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company. All subsidiary and associated undertakings are companies and are referred to as companies throughout these financial statements. Investments Investments are held in the balance sheet at cost less any amounts provided for permanent diminution in value. A provision for permanent diminution in value is recognised where the amount recoverable in respect of the investment is less than cost and the directors believe the reduction is permanent. The provision is written back in the future to the extent that it is no longer necessary. Note 8 discloses the market value of listed investments at the balance sheet date. For unlisted investments, note 8 discloses market value, where available, or the directors' valuation based on dealing prices, stockbrokers' valuations, net asset values or other information as appropriate. Income Dividends from associated companies are included in the profit and loss account on an ex-dividend basis. Dividends receivable from other equity shares are recognised as income when the shareholders' right to receive payment has been established, normally the ex-dividend date. Interest income is included in the profit and loss account on an accruals basis. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets The provision for depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. Software is depreciated at 25% of cost on a straight line basis. No depreciation is provided on the artefacts. Taxation The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for accounting and taxation purposes. Deferred taxation is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more or a right to pay less or to receive more tax with the following exceptions: 1) Deferred tax assets are recognised only when, on the basis of available evidence, it is more likely than not that there will be taxable profits in the future against which the deferred tax asset can be offset. 2) No provision is made for tax on gains arising from valuation of investments except to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the investments concerned. Pension benefits The Company participates in a multi-employer pension scheme which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund. Contributions to this fund are charged in the profit and loss account. Provisions The Company recognises a provision where it is under a contractual or legal obligation or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. 9

Income from investments Dividends from equity shares: Listed UK: Caledonia Investments plc 7,390,144 2,175,775 Other listed 890, ,379 8,280,720 2,776,154 Unlisted: 5,485 17,438 Total Income from investments 8,286,205 2,793, Administrative expenses Staff and operating costs Note 4 (454,869) (685,405) Audit fees (11,158) (10,893) Other expenses (212,516) (173,410) Total Administrative expenses (678,543) (869,708) 4.

Directors Remuneration The total directors emoluments during the year amounted to 178,788 ( ,718). During the year to 31 March 2012 certain employees were members of The Caledonia Pension Scheme ("the Scheme"), a defined benefits scheme. The Company is an associated employer within the Scheme and the contributions for the year amounted to 65,806 ( ,035). The Company is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities and its participation in the Scheme is deemed for accounting purposes to be on a Defined Contribution Scheme. The latest actuarial valuation for the Scheme, at 31 March 2009, showed a shortfall relative to the Scheme's statutory funding objective. Subsequent to the actuarial valuation, the trustees of the Scheme and the principal employer agreed a recovery plan whereby additional annual contributions will be paid to the Scheme from 2010 to 2015 inclusive. This is expected to eliminate the shortfall by March The Company's total obligated contribution is 240,000, with 120,000 currently paid and 120,000 to be repaid in equal annual instalments of 40,000 over the next three years. This total of 120,000 has been disclosed as a creditor in the financial statements. No phantom share options were granted during the year and all phantom share options granted in previous years have been exercised. 10

12 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 5. Taxation Tax charged to the profit and loss account Based on the profit for the year Corporation tax at 26% The Company is considered to be a close company as defined in the Income and Corporation Taxes Act Factors affecting the tax charge for year Profit on ordinary activities before taxation 8,157,952 (1,686,076) Profit on ordinary activities at the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 26% (2011: 28%) 2,121,068 (472,101) Effects of Non-taxable UK dividend income on investments (2,154,413) (782,205) Expenses not deductible for tax purposes 8,523 5,934 Losses for the year unutilised 43, ,460 Short term timing difference (10,400) Loss / (Gain) on investment disposals 849,639 (180,647) (Writeback of) / Increase in Investment impairment (857,660) 1,295,559 Tax charged to the profit and loss account Deferred taxation No provision is made under FRS 19 for any notional liability to corporation tax on capital gains that would have arisen if all investments had been realised at the balance sheet date at the valuations included in these financial statements at note 9. A potential liability for taxation of 34,966,269 ( ,587,338) would arise before utilisation of capital losses. There is an unrecognised deferred tax asset of 13,800,450 ( ,939,880) which relates to capital losses and an unrecognised deferred tax asset of 130,235 ( ,444) which relates to unutilised expenses. The deferred tax asset would only be recovered if the Company were to generate sufficient taxable capital profits and sufficient taxable profits on income in the future to utilise these losses. It is considered too uncertain that the Company will generate sufficient taxable capital and income profits in the future to utilise thee losses and therefore no deferred tax asset has been recognised. Legislation already enacted at the balance sheet date meant that with effect from 1 April 2012 the corporate tax rate reduced to 24% (from 26%) which is the rate used in the unrecognised deferred tax balances set out above. Subsequent reductions in the rate of 1% each year are expected until the rate reaches 22% from 1 April 2014, and these are to be dealt with by future legislation. The maximum impact of the reduction in the tax rate to 22% on closing unrecognised balances is set out below: Unrecognised deferred tax liability on investments (before utilisation of capital losses) - 32,052,413 (a reduction of 2,913,856. Unrecognised deferred tax asset on capital losses 12,650,413 (reduction of 1,150,037) and on unrecognised deferred tax asset on unutilised expenses 119,382 (a reduction of 10,853). 6.
