Rapid Realisations Fund Limited

Final Results

Rapid Realisations Fund Limited (the "Company" or "Rapid"), the AIM quoted company which seeks to exploit the investment opportunity represented by companies in “pre-flotation” and other late stage situations, today announces its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2008 (the "Period").

Investment Overview

When the Company was listed in August 2007 the Investment Manager, Cenkos Fund Managers Limited ("Cenkos") believed that there were a large number of companies that needed growth capital which was not available from banks or the listed market. The extent of this demand has far exceeded our expectations given the financial crisis which has dramatically reduced the availability of credit and the ability to raise finance in the listed market. Given the difficult financial market, exits for our investments will be more difficult to achieve, but we are responding to this challenge by both strategically positioning our investments to be attractive as trade disposals and by creating companies that have sufficient critical mass to be attractive to the stock market.

Financial Highlights

Profit for the year of £3.7 million.

Net Asset Value per share at 31 December 2008 of 104.28p.

Invested circa £30 million during the year in 13 companies.

Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2008 of £28.5 million.

Since the Year End

The Net Asset Value per share at 31 March 2009 has decreased to 101.97p predominantly as a result of the fall in Enegi Oil’s share price.

We have invested an additional circa £4 million.

We have committed follow on investments of £9 million.

We are also currently undertaking due diligence on investments with a total investment cost of

circa £14 million.

Investment Highlights

Investments made in 2007;

The management of Enegi are currently working on alternative ways to extract value from this valuable reserve.

Commenting, Peter Tom, Chairman:"I am extremely pleased with the Company's progress to date with the Net Asset Value per share increasing over the year by 6.2% to 104.28p at 31 December 2008. Net Asset Value per share has increased by 8.1% since the last published Net Asset Value per share at 30 September 2008.

We raised the money to invest in companies that needed growth capital. There is extensive demand for this product which has increased because of the credit squeeze and stock market volatility. However we have been relatively defensive in our choice of investments and as the investment manager reported our portfolio includes a chain of betting shops, a network of car collision repair centres, a company that buys and organises the collection of distressed debt and a data storage company."

The Board is confident that the Company is delivering on its objectives.

28,526,345 55,463,2591. The Company:

The Company is a closed-ended investment company and was registered with limited liability in Guernsey on 12 July 2007. The Company commenced business on 2 August 2007 when the Ordinary Shares of the Company were admitted to trading on AIM.

The Company seeks to exploit the investment opportunity represented by companies in "pre-IPO" and other late stage situations with a view to arbitraging differences in public and private company valuations. Cenkos Fund Managers Limited (the “Investment Manager”) believes that a large number of private companies can be successfully prepared for IPO or trade sale by investing time, financial expertise and money. In addition the Investment Manager believes that current volatility in the stock market (especially AIM) and the stricter controls being imposed on AIM applicants will reduce market appetite for smaller IPOs in the short term. To the extent that this causes companies to delay seeking a flotation, it increases the number of opportunities for the Company to offer substantial pre-IPO investment.

It is the Company's policy to invest in companies that are profitable or close to profitability. These companies will also typically have one or more of the following attributes:

1

a requirement to increase the scale of its operations; a need to replace a retiring owner-manager, or early stage investors; a need to change strategy and invest to make it an attractive floatation or trade sale

prospect; a need to make a strategic acquisition or some other transformation to make it an

attractive floatation or trade sale prospect; and/or a decision to delay floatation because of small cap stock market volatility.

Typically, the funds invested will be used to buy investee companies to meet working capital requirements and to finance capital expenditure in order to make possible the expansion of the businesses either by acquisition or through organic growth. Each business in which the Company invests will, in the opinion of the Investment Manager, be capable of achieving a realisation either through a sale or by listing of its shares on a stock exchange within 6 to 36 months of an investment by the Company.

2. Principal Accounting Policies:

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Company’s financial statements:

(a) Basis of Preparation:

(i) GeneralThe financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of assets at fair value through profit or loss, and in accordance with IFRS and comply with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

(ii) Judgements and estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate was revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The most critical judgements, apart from those involving estimates, that management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are the functional currency of the Company (see note 2(d)(i)) and the fair value of investments designated to be at fair value through profit or loss (see note 2(f)(i)). The valuation methods/techniques used by the Company in valuing financial instruments involve critical judgements to be made and therefore the actual value of financial instruments could differ significantly from the value disclosed in these financial statements.

(iii) IFRSThe following International Accounting Standard, which has been applied, was in issue and became effective during the year:

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and the related amendments to IAS 1 on capital disclosures.

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations, which are applicable to the Company’s operation but have not been applied in these financial statements, were in issue but not yet effective:

IFRS 2 Share Based Payments – Amendment relating to vesting conditions and cancellations (Effective date - 1 January 2009);

2

IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Comprehensive revision on applying the acquisition method (Effective date - 1 July 2009);

IFRS 8 Operating Segments (Effective date - 1 January 2009); IAS 32 and IAS 1 Amendment “Puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on

liquidation“ mainly leads to changes in IAS 32: “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” which contains the key regulations separating equity from borrowed capital. The revised version of the Standard allows the classification of redeemable instruments under certain conditions as equity. Mandatory application of the new regulations will first apply to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009;

IAS 23 Borrowing costs - Comprehensive revision to prohibit immediate expensing (Effective date - 1 January 2009); and

IAS 27, IAS 28 and IAS 31- Consequential amendments arising from amendments to IFRS 3 (Effective date - 1 January 2009).

In the Director’s opinion the adoption of the above standards will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(b) Income:Bank interest income is classified as finance income in the Income Statement and is recognised on an accruals basis at the gross amount receivable. Other investment income, commission income, dividend income and loan interest income are included in the financial statements on an accruals basis.

(c) Foreign Currency:(i) Functional and Presentation CurrencyThe Company’s investors are mainly from the UK, with the subscriptions and redemptions of the Ordinary Shares denominated in sterling. The primary activity of the Company is to offer UK investors with an attractive return on their investment, primarily through investing in companies which are likely to achieve an IPO or a sale within a short term time horizon and through a small number of investment companies that are already listed. The performance of the Company is measured and reported to investors in sterling. The Directors consider sterling as the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions. The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and BalancesForeign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statement. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the Income Statement.

(d) Financial Instruments:Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Balance Sheet when the Company becomes a party in the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(i) Financial AssetsThe classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the purpose for which the financial asset was acquired and its characteristics.

All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. All purchases of financial assets are recorded at trade date, being the date on which the Company became party to the contractual requirement of the financial asset.

The Company’s financial assets are categorised as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Unless otherwise indicated the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets approximate to their fair values. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the Income Statement.

A financial asset (in whole or in part) is derecognised either: when the Company has transferred substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership; when it has not retained substantially all the risk and rewards and when it no longer has

control over the asset or a portion of the asset; or when the contractual right to receive cash flow has expired.

3

(ii) Financial LiabilitiesThe classification of financial liabilities at initial recognition depends on the purpose for which the financial liability was issued and its characteristics.

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. All purchases of financial liabilities are recorded on trade date, being the date on which the Company becomes party to the contractual requirements of the financial liability. Unless otherwise indicated the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial liabilities approximate to their fair values.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost include trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

A financial liability (in whole or in part) is derecognised when the Company has extinguished its contractual obligations, it expires or is cancelled. Any gain or loss on derecognition is taken to the Income Statement.

(e) Investments:The Company’s investments comprise of loans, equities, warrants and convertible loan notes.

(i) ClassificationEquities have been designated as fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39 (Revised) “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

Warrant investments meet the definition of “Derivatives” under IAS39 and have been designated as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39 (Revised) “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. They are accounted for as fair value through profit or loss.

Investments in convertible loan notes have been designated as loans and receivables in accordance with IAS 39 (Revised) “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

(ii) MeasurementEquities and warrants are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed in the Income Statement. Subsequent to initial recognition, equities and warrants are measured at fair value. Realised gains and losses on disposal of investments, where the disposal proceeds are higher/lower than the book cost of the investment are presented in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising on the fair value of investments are presented in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise. Dividend income, if any, from equity investments is recognised in the Income Statement within dividend income when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

Convertible loan notes are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iii) Fair Value EstimationQuoted investments at fair value through profit or loss are valued at the bid price on the relevant stock exchange, discounted, where necessary, to reflect any lack of liquidity or restrictions on resale.

Unquoted investments are valued in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital valuation guidelines.

Typically investments in unquoted companies are made by way of a package of instruments, for example a convertible loan note or outright purchase of shares which also has an attached equity interest in the form of a warrant or option of shares. In these circumstances the Directors are of the opinion that it is not possible to attribute a fair value to each of the separate components of the total investment in that company and therefore the Directors fair value the investment package as a whole.

Warrant values are calculated using the International Private Equity and Venture Capital valuation guidelines.

Loans are valued at amortised cost and reviewed for impairment in accordance with IAS39 (see 4

note 2(g)).

(iv) Recognition/derecognitionAll regular way purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date - the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

(f) Impairment of Financial Assets:Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that they are impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impaired loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses, if any, are recognised in the Income Statement.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is recognised in the Income Statement.

(g) Placing Expenses:Expenses incurred in the Placing of the Company charged to the Statement of Changes in Equity during the year amounted to £13,626 (12 July 2007 to 31 December 2007: £2,322,305).

(h) Expenses:Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis.

(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents:Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash in hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and deposits in bank.

(j) Segmental Reporting:The Directors are of the opinion that the Company is engaged in a single segment of business, being investment business.

(k) Treasury Shares:Where the Company purchases its own Ordinary Share capital, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

3. Related Parties & Material Agreements:The Company is responsible for the continuing fees of the Investment Manager, Administrator, Registrar and the Custodian in accordance with the Investment Management, Administration, Registrar and Custodian Agreements.

Investment Management AgreementPursuant to the provisions of the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Manager is entitled to receive an advisory fee during the period at 1.0% per annum of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company, increasing to 2.0% per annum when 50% of the net proceeds of the Placing have been invested (this threshold was reached on 23 September 2008). This fee is paid quarterly in advance based on the prior quarter end NAV, with a top up payment payable in arrears once the current quarter end NAV is finalised. As at 31 December 2008 the management fee creditor was £43,819 (31 December 2007: £nil).

The Investment Manager is also entitled to a performance fee for a relevant accounting period when 5

the following two tests are met:

If the adjusted closing NAV per Ordinary Share (where the adjusted NAV is the NAV of the Company excluding any liability for accrued management and performance fees and after adding back any dividends declared or paid during the performance period) exceeds the opening NAV per Ordinary Share by a hurdle rate equivalent to 7.5% per annum (the “Hurdle NAV per Ordinary Share”); and

If the adjusted closing NAV per Ordinary Share is higher than the highest previously recorded opening NAV per Ordinary Share as reduced by the sum of all dividends and distributions per Ordinary Share (including distributions of capital) since the date such highest opening NAV per Ordinary Share was established (the “High Watermark”).

Once entitled to a performance fee for a relevant accounting period the fee is payable, in arrears, by reference to the amount the adjusted closing NAV per Ordinary Share exceeds either (i) the opening NAV per Ordinary Share, (where the adjusted NAV is the NAV of the Company excluding any liability for accrued performance fees and after adding back any dividends declared or paid during the performance period), or (ii) where the High Watermark exceeds the Hurdle NAV per Ordinary Share for the relevant accounting period.

The performance fee is calculated by taking an amount equal to 20% of the NAV increase per Ordinary Share in that relevant accounting period, multiplied by the time weighted average of the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue for the relevant accounting period. The first performance period began on Admission and ended on 31 December 2007. Each subsequent performance period is a period of one financial year.

15. Financial Risk Management:

Strategy in Using Financial Instruments:The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

The Company will seek to exploit the investment opportunity represented by companies in "pre-IPO" and other late stage situations with a view to arbitraging differences in public and private company valuations. The Investment Manager believes that a large number of private companies can be successfully prepared for IPO or trade sale by investing time, financial expertise and money. In addition the Investment Manager believes that current volatility in the stock market (especially AIM) and the stricter controls being imposed on AIM applicants will reduce market appetite for smaller IPOs in the short term. To the extent that this causes companies to delay seeking a flotation, it increases the number of opportunities for the Company to offer substantial pre-IPO investment.

Market Price RiskMarket price risk results mainly from the uncertainty about future prices of financial instruments held. It represents the potential loss the Company may suffer through holding market positions in the face of price movements and changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates, with the maximum risk resulting from financial instruments being determined by the fair value of the financial instruments.

All securities investments present a risk of loss of capital. The Investment Adviser moderates this risk through a careful selection of securities and other financial instruments within specified limits. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is determined by the fair value of the financial instruments. The Company’s portfolio and investment strategy is reviewed continuously by the Investment Adviser and the Investment Manager and on a quarterly basis by the Board.

The Company’s exposure to market price risk arises from uncertainties about future prices of its investments. This risk is managed through diversification of the investment portfolio. It is the Company’s intention to build a portfolio of investments which is diversified by both sector and stage of development. Generally the Company will seek not to invest (or commit to invest) more than 15% of the Company’s net assets in any single investment at the time of investment (or commitment), or more than 15% of the Company’s net assets in special situations (such as investments in companies already listed) at the time of investment (or commitment), although such limit may be increased to 30% in certain cases where the Board deems appropriate on the advice of the Investment Manager.

At 31 December 2008, the Company’s market risk is affected by three main components: changes in actual market prices, interest rate and foreign currency movements. Interest rate and foreign currency movements are shown below. A 25% increase in the value of investments, with all other variables held constant, would bring about a 13.84% (31 December 2007: 1.30%) increase in net assets attributable to equity shareholders. If the value of investments had been 25% lower, with all other variables held constant, net assets attributable to equity shareholders would have fallen by 13.84% (31 December 2007: 1.30%). Whilst these sensitivity percentages show the Company’s overall sensitivity to price movements, it does not reflect the leveraged nature of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company. Warrants by their nature will be disproportionately sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying equity instrument and therefore a 25% increase / decrease in the value of the equity instrument could result in a significantly greater than 25% increase / decrease in the value of the respective derivative instrument.

Interest Rate Risk:The Company is exposed to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial instruments and future cash flows. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as it’s cash and cash equivalents are invested at short term rates. The Investment Manager manages the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk daily in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and policies. The Company’s overall exposure to interest rate risk is monitored on a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors.

Liabilities Non-interest bearing - 1,264,703 - 87,144Total liabilities 1,264,703 87,144

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for interest bearing assets and liabilities (included in the interest rate exposure table above) at the Balance Sheet date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial period and held constant through the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates.

A 200 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 200 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s increase in net assets attributable to equity holders for the period ended 31 December 2008 would have been an increase of £570,527 (31 December 2007: £458,904) due to the increase in the interest earned on the Company’s cash balances.

If interest rates had been 200 basis points lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s increase in net assets attributable to equity holders for the period ended 31 December 2008 would have been a decrease of £570,527 (31 December 2007: £458,904) due to the decrease in the interest earned on the Company’s cash balances.

The Company’s sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the current year/period as the Company has invested its capital into its investments thereby reducing its cash balances that are interest bearing.

Foreign Currency Risk:Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company’s assets may be invested in securities and other investments that are denominated in currencies different to the reporting currency. Accordingly, the value of an investment may be affected favourably or unfavourably by fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company may through forward foreign exchange contracts hedge its exposure back to sterling but has not done so during the financial year/period.

Currency Exposure:A proportion of the net assets of the Company are denominated in currencies other than sterling. The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities are as follows:

The Company is exposed to Australian Dollar and Euro (31 December 2007: US Dollar).

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the sensitivity of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities to a 20% increase / decrease in the Sterling against Australian Dollar, Euro and US Dollar, translated at the balance sheet date.

The following details the Company’s sensitivity to a 20% increase / decrease in foreign currency rates. 20% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates.

As at 31 December 2008 if Sterling had weakened by 20% against the Australian Dollar and Euro (31 December 2007 if Sterling had weakened by 20% against the US Dollar), with all other variables held constant, the increase in net assets attributable to Ordinary Shares would have been 6.61% (31 December 2007: 0.94%) lower. Conversely, if Sterling had strengthened by 20% against the Australian Dollar and Euro (31 December 2007 if Sterling had weakened by 20% against the US Dollar), with all other variables held constant, the increase in net assets attributable to Ordinary Shares would have been 6.61% (31 December 2007: 0.94% higher).

Credit and Liquidity Risk:Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment that it has entered into with the Company.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter in realising assets or otherwise raising funds to meet financial commitments.

It is the aim of the Company to invest in companies which are likely to achieve a listing or realisation within six to thirty-six months.

*Although the convertible loan note has an indicated redemption date written into the loan agreements, this redemption date is based on the planned event date. The actual event date is not known, therefore for maturity analysis purposes the convertible loan has been categorised as “No fixed maturity”.

Concentration RiskConcentration risk may arise if the Company’s investments are concentrated in a low number of investments each representing a relatively large percentage of the Company’s net assets. While the Investment Manager will attempt to spread the Company’s assets among a number of investments in accordance with the investment policies adopted by the Company, at times the Company may hold a relatively small number of investments each representing a relatively large portion of the Company’s net assets. Losses incurred in such investments could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition. Whilst the Company’s portfolio is diversified in terms of the companies in which it invests, the investment portfolio of the Company may be subject to more rapid change in value than would be the case if the Company were required to maintain a wider diversification among types of securities, countries and industry groups.

16. Dividend:The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2008 (period ended 31 December 2007: £nil).

17. Taxation:The Income Tax Authority of Guernsey has granted the Company exemption from Guernsey income tax under the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 and the income of the Company may be distributed or accumulated without deduction of Guernsey income tax. Exemption under the above mentioned Ordinance entails payment by the Company of an annual fee of £600 each. It should be noted, however, that interest and dividend income accruing from the Company’s investments may be subject to withholding tax in the country of origin. With effect from 1 January 2008 the standard rate of income tax for most companies in Guernsey is zero per cent. Tax Exempt status continues to exist and the Company has been granted this status for 2008.

The Company has suffered £1,506 withholding tax during the year (12 July 2007 to 31 December 2007: £nil).

18. Capital Management:The Directors may excerise the powers of the Company to borrow money and to give security over its assets. The Company may borrow funds secured on its investments if the Board (with the advice of Cenkos Fund Manager Limited) considers that satisfactory opportunities for investment arise at a time when the Company is close to being fully invested. In any event, borrowing will be limited to 25 per cent. of the Company’s last announced NAV at the time of draw down. The Company may also be indirectly exposed to the effects of gearing to the extent that investee companies have outstanding borrowings.

19. Post Balance Sheet Events:Since the year end we have reviewed in excess of 40 companies and made investments totaling circa £4 million. In addition, we have committed follow on investments totaling circa £9 million in 4

1

investee companies. We are also currently undertaking due diligence on investments with a total investment cost of circa £14 million

There are no other significant post balance sheet events that require disclosure in these financial statements.

Copies of the annual report will be sent to shareholders shortly and will be available for a period of one month to the public at the offices of Cenkos Fund Managers Limited at 6.7.8 Tokenhouse Yard, London, EC2R 7AS and will be available at the Company's website www.rapidrealisations.com.
