         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2005

     As used herein,  the terms  "registrant,"  "Company,"  "we," "us" and "our"
refer to Berkeley Technology Limited.  Except as the context otherwise requires,
the term "Group" refers collectively to the registrant and its subsidiaries.


Note 1.   Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited
and have been prepared by the Company in conformity with United States generally
accepted  accounting   principles  ("U.S.   GAAP").  These  unaudited  condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of the  Company,  its
subsidiaries,  the Employee  Share Option Trust  ("ESOT") and the Agent  Loyalty
Opportunity Trust ("ALOT").  Significant subsidiaries included in the continuing
operations of the Group and discussed in this document  include  London  Pacific
Assurance  Limited  ("LPAL")  and  Berkeley  International  Capital  Corporation
("BICC").  All  intercompany  transactions  and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

     Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's
annual consolidated  financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the
opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all  adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring  accruals)  which are
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

     While the Company's management believes that the disclosures  presented are
adequate to make the  information  not  misleading,  these  unaudited  condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial  statements  and related  notes for the year ended  December 31, 2004,
which are contained in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the
U.S.  Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 23, 2005. The December
31,  2004  condensed  balance  sheet data was  derived  from  audited  financial
statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

     The results for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 are not indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

     The unaudited  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheets are presented in an
unclassified  format as the  majority of the Group's  assets  relate to its life
insurance and annuities business.  The Group's other business is venture capital
and consulting.

     The Company is incorporated under the laws of Jersey,  Channel Islands. Its
Ordinary  Shares are traded on the London Stock  Exchange and in the U.S. on the
Over-the-Counter  Bulletin  Board  in the  form of  American  Depositary  Shares
("ADSs"), which are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). Pursuant
to the  regulations  of the SEC,  the  Company  is  considered  a U.S.  domestic
registrant and must file financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP.

Use of Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with U.S.  GAAP
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
amounts  of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets and
liabilities as of the date of these unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial
statements as well as the reported  amount of revenues and expenses  during this
reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from these  estimates.  Certain
estimates such as fair value and actuarial assumptions have a significant impact
on the  gains  and  losses  recorded  on  investments  and the  balance  of life
insurance policy liabilities.

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Share Incentive Plan

     The Company  accounts for stock based  compensation  issued to employees in
accordance  with  Accounting   Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25  ("APB  25"),
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related  interpretations,  which
recognizes  compensation  expense  based upon the  intrinsic  value of the stock
options  as of the date of  grant.  The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
("FASB")  issued  Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123 ("SFAS
123"), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," which encourages, but does not
require, companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock options
based on their fair value. The Company has elected, as permitted by SFAS 123, to
adopt the  disclosure  requirement  of SFAS 123 and to  continue  to account for
stock based compensation under APB 25.

     Had  compensation  expense for the Company's ESOT activity been  determined
based upon the fair value  method in  accordance  with SFAS 123,  the  Company's
consolidated  net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share and ADS would have
been decreased or increased to the pro forma amounts as reflected below:

(1) Compensation  expense was negative  for the six month  period  ended June 30, 2005 due to the  reversal of $85,000 in
    compensation expense recognized in prior periods  primarily  related to the forfeiture  during the first quarter of 2005
    of all of the unvested and out-of-the-money vested options held by employees who terminated employment during the first
    quarter of 2005.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In  December  2004,  the FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS 123R"), "Share-Based Payment." SFAS 123R
is a revision of SFAS 123 and  supersedes  APB 25. Among other items,  SFAS 123R
eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic  value method of accounting,  and
requires  companies  to  recognize  the cost of  employee  services  received in
exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of
those awards, in the financial statements.  SFAS 123R permits companies to adopt
its requirements  using either a "modified  prospective"  method, or a "modified
retrospective"  method. Under the "modified  prospective"  method,  compensation
cost is  recognized  in the financial  statements  beginning  with the effective
date,  based  on the  requirements  of SFAS  123R for all  share-based  payments
granted  after  that  date,  and based on the  requirements  of SFAS 123 for all
unvested  awards  granted  prior to the effective  date of SFAS 123R.  Under the
"modified  retrospective"  method,  the  requirements  are the same as under the
"modified  prospective"  method,  but also permits entities to restate financial
statements of previous periods based on proforma  disclosures made in accordance
with SFAS 123. On April 14,  2005,  the SEC  approved a new rule that delays the
effective  date of SFAS 123R.  Under the SEC's rule,  SFAS 123R is now effective
for the Company  beginning  January 1, 2006.  The Company has not yet determined
which of the aforementioned adoption methods it will use.

     In May 2005, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
No. 154 ("SFAS  154"),  "Accounting  Changes  and Error  Corrections."  This new
standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20,  "Accounting  Changes in Interim Financial
Statements," and Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 3, "Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements," and represents another step
in  the  FASB's  goal  to  converge  its  standards  with  those  issued  by the
International  Accounting  Standards  Board.   Among  other  changes,  SFAS  154
requires   that  a  voluntary   change  in   accounting   principle  be  applied
retrospectively  with all prior period financial statements presented on the new
accounting  principle,  unless  it is  impracticable  to do so.  SFAS  154  also
provides that (1) a change in method of  depreciating or amortizing a long-lived
nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that
was effected by a change in accounting  principle,  and (2) correction of errors
in previously issued financial  statements should be termed a "restatement." The
new standard is effective for  accounting  changes and correction of errors made
in fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15,  2005.  Early  adoption of this
standard is permitted for  accounting  changes and  correction of errors made in
fiscal  years  beginning  after  June 1,  2005.  Management  does not expect the
adoption  of SFAS 154 to have a material  effect on the  consolidated  financial
statements.  As of June  30,  2005,  this  pronouncement  had no  impact  on the
consolidated financial statements.

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2.   Earnings Per Share and ADS

     The Company  calculates  earnings per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"),  "Earnings per Share." This
statement  requires the  presentation  of basic and diluted  earnings per share.
Basic  earnings  per share is  calculated  by dividing net income or loss by the
weighted-average  number of Ordinary  Shares  outstanding  during the applicable
period,  excluding  shares  held by the ESOT and the ALOT which are  regarded as
treasury  stock for the  purposes  of this  calculation.  The Company has issued
employee share options,  which are considered  potential common stock under SFAS
128.

     The Company has also issued Ordinary Share warrants to the Bank of Scotland
in connection with the Company's bank facility (now terminated),  which are also
considered  potential common stock under SFAS 128. Diluted earnings per share is
calculated  by dividing  net income by the  weighted-average  number of Ordinary
Shares   outstanding   during  the  applicable  period  as  adjusted  for  these
potentially  dilutive  options and warrants  which are  determined  based on the
"Treasury Stock Method." As the Company  recorded a net loss for the three month
period ended June 30, 2005, and for both of the six month periods ended June 30,
2005 and 2004, the  calculations  of diluted loss per share for these periods do
not include  potentially  dilutive employee share options and warrants issued to
the Bank of Scotland as they are  anti-dilutive  and,  if  included,  would have
resulted in a reduction  of the net loss per share.  If the Company had reported
net income for the three month period  ended June 30, 2005,  and for both of the
six month  periods  ended  June 30,  2005 and  2004,  there  would  have been an
additional  96,450,  106,795 and 826,601 shares,  respectively,  included in the
calculations of diluted earnings per share for these periods.


     A  reconciliation  of the  numerators  and  denominators  for the basic and
diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations is as follows:

Note 3.   Investments

     The Group's  investments  consist of fixed maturity and equity  securities.
Fixed  maturity  securities  are  classified  as  either  available-for-sale  or
held-to-maturity,  and equity  securities  are  classified as either  trading or
available-for-sale. The investments are accounted for as follows:

     i)   available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with changes
          in unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income,  but reported
          net of  applicable  income taxes and  adjustments  to deferred  policy
          acquisition cost  amortization as a separate  component of accumulated
          other comprehensive income;

     ii)  held-to-maturity  securities  are  recorded at  amortized  cost unless
          these securities become other-than-temporarily impaired; and

     iii) trading  securities  are  recorded  at  fair  value  with  changes  in
          unrealized gains and losses included in net income.

     When a quoted market price is available for a security, the Group uses this
price to determine  fair value.  If a quoted market price is not available for a
security,  management  estimates the security's  fair value based on appropriate
valuation methodologies.

     For a discussion of the Company's  accounting  policies with respect to the
determination of fair value of investments and other-than-temporary impairments,
see the  section  entitled  "Critical  Accounting  Policies"  in Part I,  Item 2
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations"  below.  The  Group's  private   securities   primarily  consist  of
convertible  preferred  stock  holdings  in  technology  companies.   Management
periodically reviews financial information with respect to the issuers of equity
securities held by the Group. In addition, management maintains contact with the
management of these  issuers  through  ongoing  dialogue to examine the issuers'
future plans and prospects.

Investment Concentration and Risk

     As of June 30, 2005,  fixed maturity  securities held by the Group included
investments  in Ford Motor  Credit  ("FMC") of  $6,078,000  and  General  Motors
Acceptance  Corp.  ("GMAC") of  $6,072,000.  These two  corporate  issuers  each
represented more than 10% of shareholders'  equity as of June 30, 2005. However,
both of these holdings are short-term:  the FMC bonds will mature on February 1,
2006 and the GMAC bonds will mature on January 15, 2006.

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company's Jersey based life insurance  subsidiary,
LPAL, owned 71% of the Group's $26.1 million in fixed maturity  securities,  99%
of the Group's $0.9 million in available-for-sale private equity securities, and
none of the Group's $57,000 in trading securities. LPAL is a regulated insurance
company, and as such it must meet stringent capital adequacy requirements and it
may not make  any  distributions  without  the  consent  of  LPAL's  independent
actuary.  LPAL's  investments are therefore not currently  available to fund the
operations or commitments of the Company or its other subsidiaries.

     Fixed maturity securities  considered less than investment grade (excluding
split-rated securities)  approximated 1.1% of total fixed maturity securities as
of June 30, 2005. On May 5, 2005, one of the two major credit rating agencies in
the U.S.  downgraded the long-term  credit ratings of Ford Motor Co. and General
Motors Corp. As discussed above, the Group's FMC and GMAC holdings,  which total
$12.1  million in  aggregate,  representing  46.5% of the  Group's  total  fixed
maturity securities as of June 30, 2005, will mature in early 2006. As the Group
intends to hold these  securities to maturity,  the Group's  management does not
believe that the credit rating downgrades will adversely impact the repayment of
principal in full at maturity of these bonds.

Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Available-for-Sale Securities

     Net unrealized gains and (losses) on fixed maturity  securities  classified
as  available-for-sale as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $37,000
and $36,000,  respectively.  There were no related  deferred policy  acquisition
cost adjustments or income taxes.

     There were no unrealized gains or losses on equity securities classified as
available-for-sale as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Note 4.    Cash Held in Escrow

     Cash  held in  escrow  consists  of the  proceeds  from the sale of  London
Pacific Advisors ("LPA") to SunGard Business Systems Inc. ("SunGard") on June 5,
2003  which  were held back to cover any of the  Group's  indemnity  obligations
within the 18 month period  following the close of the  transaction.  Funds were
due to be released  with  accrued  interest in December  2004,  less any amounts
related  to  indemnification  matters  as  set  out  in the  sale  and  purchase
agreement.  The Company was made aware on March 8, 2005 of  SunGard's  complaint
with  respect to  alleged  losses in an amount  equal to at least  $7.2  million
resulting from,  among other things,  alleged  breaches of  representations  and
warranties contained in the sale and purchase agreement. SunGard is also seeking
indemnification  from the Company.  After  consultation with its legal advisors,
the Group's management  believes that this claim is without merit, and the Group
is  defending  the matter  vigorously.  See Part II, Item 1 "Legal  Proceedings"
below for further information. Due to this indemnification claim by SunGard, the
$1.0  million in cash held in escrow was not  released  to the Group in December
2004 as scheduled. The Company has not made any reserve against the $1.0 million
in escrow.

Note 6.  Commitments and Contingencies

     As  previously  disclosed  in the  Company's  2002,  2003 and 2004  audited
consolidated financial statements,  and notes thereto, included in the Company's
Annual  Report  on Form  10-K for each of those  years,  the  Company's  primary
insurance  company,  London Pacific Life & Annuity Company  ("LPLA"),  in August
2002 was placed  under  regulatory  control and  rehabilitation  based on LPLA's
statutory  capital and  surplus as of June 30,  2002.  On July 9, 2004,  a court
order was issued  approving a plan of  liquidation  for LPLA and also  approving
exchange  agreements  which give  policyholders  the option of exchanging  their
existing policies for new policies in another insurance  company.  In the course
of the administration of LPLA in rehabilitation, during November 2002, the North
Carolina   Department  of  Insurance   ("NCDOI")   requested  from  the  Company
information  concerning  the  history  of a  limited  number of  investments  in
securities  of  portfolio  companies.  These  portfolio  investments  have  been
associated  with  LPLA for more  than  seven  years,  and  involve  intercompany
transfers. The history of their investment performance and ownership is complex.
The Company has complied  with these  requests.  The Company is not able at this
time to predict what  conclusions the NCDOI will reach after  evaluation of this
information.

     As discussed  above in Note 4 "Cash Held in Escrow," on March 8, 2005,  the
Company was made aware of a complaint  filed by SunGard and SunGard's  claim for
indemnification  with  respect to alleged  losses in an amount equal to at least
$7.2  million   resulting  from,   among  other  things,   alleged  breaches  of
representations  and  warranties  contained in the sale and purchase  agreement.
After consultation with its legal advisors, the Group's management believes that
this claim is without merit,  and the Group is defending the matter  vigorously.
As such,  no provision  for this  contingent  liability has been included in the
Group's  financial  statements as of June 30, 2005, nor has the Company made any
reserve  against  the $1.0  million  held in escrow.  See Part II, Item 1 "Legal
Proceedings" below for further information.

Guarantees

     In November  2002, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation  No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
"Guarantor's  Accounting and Disclosure  Requirements for Guarantees,  Including
Indirect  Guarantees  of  Indebtedness  of  Others - an  interpretation  of FASB
Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB  Interpretation No. 34." The
following  is a  summary  of the  Company's  agreements  that  the  Company  has
determined are within the scope of FIN 45.

     Under its Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company has agreed to
indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or  occurrences  arising
as a result of the officer or  director  serving in such  capacity.  The maximum
potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under

these  indemnification  agreements is unlimited.  However, the Company maintains
directors and officers  liability  insurance that limits the Company's  exposure
and enables it to recover a portion of any future  amounts  paid. As a result of
its insurance  coverage,  the Company believes the estimated fair value of these
indemnification  agreements is minimal and has no liabilities recorded for these
agreements as of June 30, 2005.

     The Company  enters into  indemnification  provisions  under its agreements
with other companies in its ordinary course of business, typically with business
partners,  clients and landlords.  Under these provisions, the Company generally
indemnifies  and holds  harmless the  indemnified  party for losses  suffered or
incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company's activities. These
indemnification   provisions  sometime  include  indemnifications   relating  to
representations made by the Company with regard to intellectual property rights.
These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying
agreement.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be
required  to make under  these  indemnification  provisions  is  unlimited.  The
Company  believes  the  estimated  fair value of these  agreements  is  minimal.
Accordingly,  the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of
June 30, 2005.

</TABLE>

     As previously  disclosed in our 2002,  2003 and 2004 Annual Reports on Form
10-K,  during  2002,  our primary  insurance  company,  LPLA,  was placed  under
regulatory  control and  rehabilitation  based on LPLA's  statutory  capital and
surplus as of June 30, 2002. On July 2, 2002, we announced that further declines
in the value of LPLA's investment  portfolio,  due to persistent negative events
in the equity and bond markets,  continued to erode  significantly the statutory
capital of LPLA and that we were  unsuccessful  in concluding a  transaction  to
enhance the capital of LPLA. As a consequence, LPLA discontinued the issuance of
new policies as of July 2, 2002.  Although the  statutory  capital of our Jersey
insurance  subsidiary,  LPAL,  was not  affected by the adverse  equity and bond
markets to the same extent as the statutory  capital of LPLA, we also  announced
on July 2, 2002 that LPAL  would  discontinue  writing  new  policies  effective
immediately.  The decision to discontinue  the issuance of new policies  through
LPAL was made to avoid the increased capital  requirements created by additional
policyholder   liabilities.   Subsequent   to  this   announcement   and   other
announcements relating to the Company and LPLA, LPAL policy surrenders increased
substantially.  Approximately  88% of  LPAL's  $140.2  million  in  policyholder
liabilities as of June 30, 2002 have been surrendered or have matured as of June
30, 2005. Policyholder liabilities as of June 30, 2005 were $17.2 million.

     Due to the events referred to above, LPAL focuses on managing the remaining
block of  policyholder  liabilities.  There are no plans  currently to write new
policies.

Second quarter of 2005 compared to second quarter of 2004

     In the second quarter of 2005, LPAL  contributed a loss before income taxes
of $0.1  million to our overall  loss before  income  taxes,  compared to income
before income taxes of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2004. There were no
realized  investment  gains or losses in the second  quarter of 2005 compared to
net realized gains of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2004.  There were no
unrealized investment gains or losses in the second quarter of 2005, compared to
a net  unrealized  gain of $1.2  million in the second  quarter of 2004.  In the
second  quarter  of 2005,  the spread  between  investment  income  and  amounts
credited to

                                       20
<PAGE>


policyholders  increased  by $65,000;  and general and  administrative  expenses
decreased by $73,000, each as compared to the second quarter of 2004.

     LPAL did not  generate any  premiums  during the second  quarter of 2005 or
2004. LPAL discontinued  selling new policies on July 2, 2002 as a result of the
events described above.

     The spread between  investment income and amounts credited to policyholders
improved  during the second  quarter of 2005  compared to the second  quarter of
2004,  from  negative  $18,000  to  positive   $47,000.   Interest  credited  on
policyholder accounts decreased by $66,000 to $0.3 million in the second quarter
of 2005,  compared with the second quarter of 2004.  This decrease was primarily
due to policy  maturities  since the second  quarter of 2004.  The average  rate
credited to policyholders  was 5.7% during the second quarter of 2005,  compared
with 5.4%  during the second  quarter of 2004.  Interest  income on  investments
remained  level at $0.3 million in the second  quarter of 2005,  compared to the
second quarter of 2004. The level of corporate bonds held by LPAL decreased from
$22.2 million at June 30, 2004 to $18.5 million at June 30, 2005,  primarily due
to bond maturities which matched policy  maturities.  LPAL sold all of its $10.3
million  of listed  equity  securities  held at June 30,  2004 by the end of the
first  quarter of 2005,  and has  reinvested  most of the  proceeds in corporate
bonds.

     As mentioned above,  there were no realized or unrealized  investment gains
or losses  during the second  quarter of 2005,  compared  with net  realized and
unrealized  investment  gains of $1.3 million during the second quarter of 2004.
During 2004, LPAL held significant levels of listed equity  securities,  causing
LPAL's results to be impacted by equity market  volatility.  As discussed above,
LPAL no longer holds these listed equity securities,  and as such, LPAL's equity
market risk has been reduced significantly.

     Total  invested  assets  decreased  to $28.6  million as of June 30,  2005,
compared with $31.5 million as of March 31, 2005  primarily due to  policyholder
benefits  paid of $2.0  million  during  the second  quarter  of 2005.  On total
average  invested  assets in the second quarter of 2005, the average  annualized
net return,  including both realized and unrealized investment gains and losses,
was 4.3%, compared with 17.5% in the second quarter of 2004.

     Policyholder  liabilities  as of June 30, 2005 were $17.2  million of which
$3.2 million is scheduled to mature during the remaining six months of 2005. The
maturity profile of LPAL's corporate bond portfolio has been structured to match
approximately  the  maturity  profile  of LPAL's  policies.  In the  absence  of
significant   redemptions,   policyholder   liabilities   are  projected  to  be
approximately $14.1 million at the end of 2005.

     General and  administrative  expenses  for the second  quarter of 2005 were
$162,000,  compared with $235,000 for the second quarter of 2004.  This decrease
was primarily due to lower staff costs, resulting from the reduction in staff in
January 2005.

First six months of 2005 compared to first six months of 2004

     In the first six months of 2005,  LPAL  contributed  a loss  before  income
taxes of $0.5 million to our overall  loss before  income  taxes,  compared to a
loss before  income taxes of $4.0  million in the first six months of 2004.  Net
realized investment losses in the first six months of 2005 were $43,000 compared
to net  realized  investment  losses of $1.2  million in the first six months of
2004. The gain from the change in net unrealized investment gains and losses was
$18,000 in the first six months of 2005,  compared to a loss of $2.3  million in
the first six  months of 2004.  In the  first  six  months of 2005,  the  spread
between  investment  income and amounts credited to  policyholders  increased by
$0.1 million; and general and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million,
each as compared to the first six months of 2004.

     LPAL did not generate  any premiums  during the first six months of 2005 or
2004. LPAL discontinued  selling new policies on July 2, 2002 as a result of the
events described above.

     The spread between  investment income and amounts credited to policyholders
improved during the first six months of 2005 compared to the first six months of
2004,  from  negative  $64,000  to  positive   $78,000.   Interest  credited  on
policyholder  accounts  decreased  by $160,000 to $0.6  million in the first six
months of

                                       21
<PAGE>

2005,  compared  with the first six months of 2004.  This decrease was primarily
due to policy  maturities  since the end of the first half of 2004.  The average
rate  credited  to  policyholders  was 5.6% during the first six months of 2005,
compared  with 5.5%  during  the first six  months of 2004.  Interest  income on
investments  remained  level at $0.6  million  in the first six  months of 2005,
compared to the first six months of 2004.

     Net  investment  losses  totaled  $25,000  in the first six months of 2005,
compared with net  investment  losses of $3.4 million in the first six months of
2004.  During 2004, LPAL held  significant  levels of listed equity  securities,
causing LPAL's results to be impacted by equity market volatility. By the end of
January 2005, LPAL sold all of its listed equity  securities and as such, LPAL's
equity market risk has been reduced significantly.

     Total  invested  assets  decreased  to $28.6  million as of June 30,  2005,
compared  with  $33.1  million  as  of  December  31,  2004   primarily  due  to
policyholder  benefits paid of $3.3 million during the first six months of 2005.
On total average  invested  assets in the first six months of 2005,  the average
annualized net return,  including both realized and unrealized  investment gains
and losses, was 4.0%, compared with -13.4% in the first six months of 2004.

     Policyholder  liabilities  as of June 30, 2005 were $17.2  million of which
$3.2 million is scheduled to mature during the remaining six months of 2005. The
maturity profile of LPAL's corporate bond portfolio has been structured to match
approximately  the  maturity  profile  of LPAL's  policies.  In the  absence  of
significant   redemptions,   policyholder   liabilities   are  projected  to  be
approximately $14.1 million at the end of 2005.

     Included in general and administrative expenses for the first six months of
2005 are  $293,000 of employee  severance  costs.  In order to reduce  operating
costs and to conserve  cash,  and in light of the decrease in the size of LPAL's
operations,  LPAL reduced its staff in January  2005.  Excluding the $293,000 of
employee severance costs, general and administrative  expenses for the first six
months of 2005 were $0.3  million,  compared  to $0.5  million for the first six
months of 2004. This decrease was primarily due to lower staff costs.

Second quarter of 2005 compared to second quarter of 2004

     In the second quarter of 2005, the venture  capital and consulting  segment
contributed  income  before  income  taxes of $21,000 to our overall loss before
income  taxes,  compared to income  before income taxes of $87,000 in the second
quarter of 2004. The results for the second quarter of 2004 were impacted by the
$0.3 million in net realized and  unrealized  investment  gains on listed equity
securities. These positions in listed

                                       22
<PAGE>

equity securities  resulted from privately held technology  companies,  in which
the venture capital and consulting  segment had an equity  interest,  completing
initial  public  offerings  or being  acquired by publicly  traded  companies in
stock-for-stock  acquisitions.  Most of these listed equity securities were sold
during 2004, thereby  significantly  reducing this segment's equity market risk,
and resulting volatility in earnings, in 2005.

     The venture  capital  and  consulting  segment  earned  consulting  fees of
$177,000  during the second  quarter of 2005  compared  to $90,000 in the second
quarter  of 2004,  by  advising  a small  number  of North  American  technology
companies that are looking to grow their  businesses or to expand their investor
base  overseas,  primarily  in  Europe  and  Japan.  BICC  advises  on  overseas
operations,  assists in locating partners, customers and investment capital, and
occasionally will take principal  positions where the case is compelling and the
timeframe for realization  could be relatively  short.  Typically,  BICC seeks a
retainer (monthly or upfront depending on the nature of the assignment) from its
North  American  technology  company  clients  for its  consulting  work,  and a
"success fee" upon the successful completion of its assignment.

     Operating  expenses in the second quarter of 2005 decreased by $0.1 million
to $0.2 million,  compared to the second quarter of 2004, reflecting the Group's
overall efforts to reduce operating costs.

First six months of 2005 compared to first six months of 2004

     In the first six months of 2005, the venture capital and consulting segment
contributed  a loss before  income  taxes of $0.2  million to our  overall  loss
before income  taxes,  compared to a loss before income taxes of $0.9 million in
the first  six  months  of 2004.  The loss in the  first six  months of 2005 was
attributable  primarily to an excess of operating  expenses over  consulting fee
income. The results in the first six months of 2004 were attributable  partially
to net realized and unrealized  investment losses on listed equity securities of
$0.4 million and partially to an excess of operating  expenses  over  consulting
fee income.

     The venture capital and consulting  segment earned  consulting fees of $0.3
million  during the first six months of 2005 compared to $0.2 million during the
first six months of 2004,  reflecting the addition of several new clients during
the first half of 2005.

     Operating  expenses  in the  first six  months  of 2005 were $0.5  million,
compared  to $0.6  million  in the first six  months of 2004.  The $0.1  million
decrease reflects the Group's overall efforts to reduce operating costs.

Corporate and Other

Second quarter of 2005 compared to second quarter of 2004

     Corporate  expenses  decreased  by  $38,000  to $0.7  million in the second
quarter of 2005,  compared to the second quarter of 2004.  This decrease was due
primarily  to lower  staff costs and  corporate  insurance  expense,  which were
partially  offset by legal  expenses  related to the SunGard matter as described
below in Part II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings."

First six months of 2005 compared to first six months of 2004

     Corporate  expenses  decreased by $0.1 million to $1.3 million in the first
six months of 2005,  compared to the first six months of 2004. This decrease was
due primarily to lower staff costs,  corporate  insurance  costs and  facilities
expense,  which were partially  offset by legal expenses  related to the SunGard
matter as described below in Part II, Item 1, "Legal Proceedings."

     The  amount  of  interest  we  earned  (excluding  the life  insurance  and
annuities  segment)  increased  by $0.1 million to $0.2 million in the first six
months of 2005,  compared to the first six months of 2004.  We have improved the
yields earned on our liquid assets by investing in short-term corporate debt and
U.S. government agency securities.

Consolidated Income (Loss) Before Income Tax Expense

Second quarter of 2005 compared to second quarter of 2004

     Our  consolidated  loss before  income tax expense was $0.7  million in the
second  quarter of 2005,  compared to income  before  income tax expense of $0.5
million in the second quarter of 2004. This decrease in income was  attributable
primarily to lower net realized and  unrealized  investment  gains in the second
quarter of 2005 (only $12,000),  compared to $1.6 million in gains in the second
quarter of 2004.

     Due to the sales of almost all of our listed equity  securities during 2004
and the first  quarter  of 2005,  our  results  will no longer be  significantly
impacted by equity market volatility.

     Subsequent  to the  completion  of the  sales of our asset  management  and
financial advisory services  businesses during 2003, we now focus on our venture
capital and consulting business. We continue to pursue opportunities to grow the
business  in the  future,  however,  there  is no  guarantee  that  we  will  be
successful in redeveloping our venture capital and consulting operations.

First six months of 2005 compared to first six months of 2004

     Our  consolidated  loss before  income tax expense was $1.8  million in the
first six months of 2005,  compared  to a loss of $6.2  million in the first six
months of 2004. This lower loss was due primarily to net realized and unrealized
investment losses of only $0.1 million in the first six months of 2005, compared
to net realized and  unrealized  investment  losses of $3.8 million in the first
six months of 2004.

Income Taxes

     We are  subject  to  taxation  on our income in all  countries  in which we
operate based upon the taxable income arising in each country. However, realized
gains on certain  investments are exempt from Jersey and Guernsey  taxation.  We
are subject to income tax in Jersey at a rate of 20%. In the United  States,  we
are subject to both federal and  California  taxes at rates up to 34% and 8.84%,
respectively.

Second quarter of 2005 compared to second quarter of 2004

     We had no tax expense and recorded no tax benefits in the second quarter of
2005,  though we had a $0.7 million loss before income  taxes.  The $0.3 million
tax expense in the second quarter of 2004 relates to our  additional  California
tax liability for tax years 1998 and 1999.  We paid this  additional  tax in the
fourth  quarter  of 2004 and the matter  has now been  fully  resolved  with the
California Franchise Tax Board. Although $0.3 million of losses were contributed
by our Jersey and Guernsey  operations during the second quarter of 2005, we did
not recognize any tax benefits due to the uncertainty surrounding their recovery
before expiry.  Losses of $0.3 million were contributed by our U.S. subsidiaries
during the period;  however,  we did not  recognize any U.S. tax benefits due to
the 100% valuation allowances that we have provided for all deferred tax assets.

First six months of 2005 compared to first six months of 2004

     As discussed  above,  the $0.3 million tax expense for the first six months
of 2004 relates to our  additional  California  tax liability for tax years 1998
and 1999.  We  recorded  only  $5,000 of tax  expense in the first six months of
2005,  related to minimum  California  taxes.  While losses of $1.2 million were
contributed by our Jersey and Guernsey  operations during the period, we did not
recognize any tax benefits due to the  uncertainty  surrounding  their  recovery
before expiry.  Losses of $0.6 million were contributed by our U.S. subsidiaries
during the period;  however,  we did not  recognize any U.S. tax benefits due to
the 100% valuation allowances that we have provided for all deferred tax assets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Management has identified those accounting policies that are most important
to the accurate  portrayal of our financial  condition and results of operations
and that require management's most complex or subjective  judgments,  often as a
result of the need to make  estimates  about  the  effect  of  matters  that are
inherently  uncertain.  These most critical  accounting  policies pertain to our
investments, life insurance policy liabilities and contingent liabilities. These
critical accounting policies are described below.

Determination of Fair Values of Investments

     When a quoted market price is available  for a security,  we use this price
in the  determination  of fair value.  If a quoted market price is not available
for a  security,  management  estimates  the  security's  fair  value  based  on
valuation methodologies as described below.

     We  hold  investments  in  privately  held  equity  securities,   primarily
convertible  preferred  stock in venture  capital  companies  doing  business in
various segments of technology  industries.  Venture capital  investing  entails
making  investments in companies  that are  developing  products or services for
large  emerging  markets  with the  belief  that  these  investments  will yield
superior  returns if these  companies  are  successful.  These  investments  are
normally held for a number of years. When we make these investments, most of the
companies  are still  developing  the products they intend to bring to market or
are in the early stages of product  sales.  Venture  capital  companies  are net
consumers of cash and often dependent upon additional financing to execute their
business plans.  These  investments  involve  substantial risk and the companies
generally  lack  meaningful  historical  financial  results used in  traditional
valuation  models.  The process of pricing  these  securities  range from fierce
competitive  bidding  between  financial   institutions  to  existing  investors
negotiating  prices  with  the  company  without  outside  investor  validation.
Investments  in  convertible   preferred   stock  come  with  rights  that  vary
dramatically both from company to company and between rounds of financing within
the same company. These rights, such as anti-dilution,  redemption,  liquidation
preferences and participation, bear directly on the price an investor is willing
to pay for a security.  The returns on these investments are generally  realized
through an initial  public  offering of the company's  shares or, more commonly,
through the company's acquisition by a public company.

     One of the  factors  affecting  fair value is the  amount of time  before a
company  requires  additional  financing to support its  operations.  Management
believes that companies that are financed to the estimated  point of operational
profitability  or for a period  greater  than one year will most  likely  return
value to the investor through an acquisition between a willing buyer and seller,
as the company does not need to seek financing from an opportunistic investor or
insider in an adverse  investment  environment.  If a particular  company  needs
capital in the near term,  management  considers  a range of factors in its fair
value  analysis,  including  our  ability  to  recover  our  investment  through
surviving liquidation  preferences.  Management's  valuation  methodologies also
include  fundamental  analysis that evaluates the investee company's progress in
developing  products,  building  intellectual  property  portfolios and securing
customer  relationships,  as well as overall industry conditions,  conditions in
and prospects for the investee's  geographic  region,  and overall equity market
conditions.   This  is  combined  with   analysis  of   comparable   acquisition
transactions and values to determine if the security's  liquidation  preferences
will ensure full recovery of our investment in a likely acquisition  outcome. In
its valuation analysis, management also considers the most recent transaction in
a company's shares.

     The determination of fair values of investments requires the application of
significant  judgment.  It is possible that the factors  evaluated by management
and fair values will change in subsequent  periods,  especially  with respect to
our  privately  held equity  securities in  technology  companies,  resulting in
material impairment charges in future periods.

Other-than-temporary Impairments

     Management  performs an ongoing review of all  investments in the portfolio
to   determine   if   there   are  any   declines   in  fair   value   that  are
other-than-temporary.

                                       25
<PAGE>

     Since our listed equity  securities are  classified as trading  securities,
impairment  adjustments  are not  required as any change in the market  value of
these securities between reporting periods is included in earnings.

     In  relation  to  our  equity   securities  that  do  not  have  a  readily
determinable  fair value and are  classified as  available-for-sale,  factors we
consider in  impairment  reviews  include:  (i) the length of time and extent to
which  estimated  fair  values  have been  below  cost and the  reasons  for the
decline,  (ii)  the  investee's  recent  financial  performance  and  condition,
earnings trends and future  prospects,  (iii) the market condition of either the
investee's  geographic area or industry as a whole, and (iv) concerns  regarding
the investee's  ability to continue as a going concern (such as the inability to
obtain  additional  financing).  If the evidence supports that a decline in fair
value is  other-than-temporary,  then the investment is reduced to its estimated
fair value,  which becomes its new cost basis,  and a realized loss is reflected
in earnings.

     We determine that a fixed maturity security is impaired when it is probable
that we will  not be  able to  collect  amounts  due  (principal  and  interest)
according to the security's  contractual  terms. We make this  determination  by
considering  all  available  facts and  circumstances,  including our intent and
ability to continue to hold the investment to maturity.  The factors we consider
include:  (i) the length of time and extent to which the market values have been
below  amortized cost and the reasons for the decline,  (ii) the issuer's recent
financial performance and condition, earnings trends and future prospects in the
near to mid-term,  (iii) changes in the issuer's  debt rating and/or  regulatory
actions or other events that may effect the issuer's operations, (iv) the market
condition of either the issuer's geographic area or industry as a whole, and (v)
factors  that raise  doubt  about the  issuer's  ability to  continue as a going
concern.   If  the   evidence   supports   that  a  decline  in  fair  value  is
other-than-temporary,  then the fixed  maturity  security is written down to its
quoted market value,  if such a value is  available.  If a readily  determinable
fair value does not exist,  then the fixed maturity  security is written down to
management's  estimate  of its fair  value,  which  is  based  on the  valuation
methodologies  described above.  Write-downs are recorded as realized losses and
included in earnings.

     The   evaluations   for   other-than-temporary   impairments   require  the
application of significant  judgment. It is possible that the impairment factors
evaluated  by  management  and fair values will  change in  subsequent  periods,
especially  with  respect to  privately  held equity  securities  in  technology
companies, resulting in material impairment charges in future periods.

Life Insurance Policy Liabilities

     We  account  for life  insurance  policy  liabilities  in  accordance  with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains
and Losses from the Sale of  Investments."  We account for life insurance policy
liabilities for deferred annuities as investment-type  insurance products and we
record these liabilities at accumulated value (premiums  received,  plus accrued
interest to the balance sheet date, less withdrawals and assessed fees).


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our cash and cash equivalents decreased during the first six months of 2005
by $9.7  million to $9.7  million.  This  decrease in cash and cash  equivalents
primarily  resulted from $6.2 million and $3.3 million of cash used in investing
activities  and financing  activities,  respectively,  partially  offset by $0.1
million  provided by operating  activities.  Cash used in  investing  activities
primarily related to the purchase of fixed maturity  securities by the Group and
LPAL, partially offset by the maturity of fixed maturity securities held by LPAL
and  the  Group.  Cash  used  in  financing   activities  related  to  insurance
policyholder  benefits  paid by LPAL.  Cash  provided  by  operating  activities
primarily  resulted  from the sale of  trading  securities  and an  increase  in
accrued  expenses,  partially offset by the $1.8 million  operating loss for the
first six months of 2005.  As of June 30, 2005,  our cash and cash  equivalents,
excluding the amount held by LPAL,  amounted to $1.2 million, a decrease of $8.6
million from December 31, 2004. We purchased $8.5 million in corporate bonds and
U.S.  government  agency securities during the first quarter of 2005 in order to
increase our yields on our liquid resources.  Of these securities,  $0.9 million
matured during the first six months of 2005, and all of the remaining securities
will mature on or before February 1, 2006.

     Shareholders'  equity decreased during the first six months of 2005 by $1.9
million  from $22.9  million at December  31, 2004 to $21.0  million at June 30,
2005,  primarily due to the net loss for the period of $1.8 million.  As of June
30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,  $62.6 million and $63.6 million,  respectively,
of our Ordinary  Shares,  at cost, held by the employee benefit trusts have been
netted against shareholders' equity.

     As discussed  above in "Results of  Operations  by Business  Segment - Life
Insurance and Annuities," LPAL  discontinued  issuing new policies in July 2002.
During the first six months of 2005,  LPAL  continued  to service  its  existing
policyholders.  During this period,  policy surrenders  totaled $0.2 million and
policy  maturities  totaled $3.1 million.  Policyholder  liabilities  were $17.2
million as of June 30, 2005,  compared to $21.2 million as of December 31, 2004.
We do not expect significant  surrender activity during the remaining six months
of 2005;  however,  approximately  $3.2 million of policyholder  liabilities are
scheduled to mature during this period.  LPAL has sufficient liquid resources to
fund  these  maturities.  As of June 30,  2005,  LPAL had cash of $8.6  million,
accrued  interest  receivable  of $0.6  million  and  corporate  bonds  of $18.5
million.

     In prior  periods,  LPAL held listed equity  securities at levels such that
fluctuations  in the market value of these listed equity  securities  could have
had a significant  impact on LPAL's statutory capital level.  Following the sale
of LPAL's  remaining  Packeteer,  Inc. common stock holding during 2004, and the
sale of LPAL's remaining $0.5 million of listed equity holdings in January 2005,
fluctuations in the market value of LPAL's  remaining  listed equity  securities
will no longer have an impact on LPAL's required statutory capital level.

     As of June 30,  2005,  we had no bank  borrowings,  guarantee  obligations,
material commitments  outstanding for capital expenditures or additional funding
for private equity portfolio companies.

     As of June 30, 2005, we had $1.2 million of cash and cash  equivalents  and
$7.6  million in  short-term  bonds,  excluding  cash and bonds held by our life
insurance and annuities segment.  We believe that this cash balance and the bond
maturity  proceeds are  sufficient to fund our operations  (venture  capital and
corporate  activities)  over at least the next 12 months.  As discussed below in
Part  II,  Item  1  "Legal  Proceedings,"  we  are  involved  in  certain  legal
proceedings for which we have incurred and will incur  attorneys' fees and other
costs. The amount of such future fees and costs is currently unknown,  though we
believe that our cash and liquid  resources are sufficient to cover these costs,
in addition to our normal operating expenses, over at least the next 12 months.

     As of June 30, 2005, we had $1.0 million of cash held in escrow  related to
our sale of LPA to SunGard as  discussed  above in Note 4 "Cash Held in Escrow."
Due to the legal proceedings  described below in Part II, Item 1, the release of
the escrow amount is currently  uncertain.  We have not made any reserve against
this $1.0 million held in escrow.

     In order to reduce  operating  costs and to conserve  cash, and in light of
the decrease in the size and complexity of our continuing operations, we reduced
staffing levels in early 2005. Due to employee  severance  costs,  the impact of
these staff cost  reductions will not be fully realized on an annual basis until
2006. In addition,  we have  implemented  or are in the process of  implementing
other cost reductions.


Item 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The nature of our businesses  exposes us to market risk. Market risk is the
risk of loss that may occur when  changes in  interest  rates and public  equity
prices adversely affect the value of invested assets.

Interest Rate Risk

     LPAL is subject to risk from interest rate  fluctuations  when payments due
to  policyholders  are not matched in respect of amount and duration with income
from investments.  LPAL attempts to minimize this risk by ensuring that payments
and income are matched as closely as possible while also  maximizing  investment
returns.  LPAL  has not used  derivative  financial  instruments  as part of its
investment strategy.

                                       27
<PAGE>

     For LPAL's business,  the amount of policyholder  liabilities is unaffected
by  changes in  interest  rates.  Given the  existing  policy and bond  maturity
profiles,  and that bonds will  generally  be held to maturity  and early policy
redemptions  are protected by a market value  adjustment and surrender  penalty,
the bonds and policies carry minimal interest rate risk.  Interest income earned
on excess cash in LPAL is expected  to yield less than $0.3  million  during the
full year 2005,  therefore  movements in market interest rates should not have a
material impact on our consolidated results.

Equity Price Risk

     We are  exposed  to equity  price  risk on our  holdings  of listed  equity
securities. Changes in the level or volatility of equity prices affect the value
of our listed  equity  securities.  These  changes in turn  directly  affect our
consolidated net income (loss) because our holdings of listed equity  securities
are marked to market,  with  changes in their  market  value  recognized  in the
statement of operations for the period in which the changes occur.  These listed
equity  securities  represent  investments  that were originally made as private
equity investments in high technology  companies that subsequently  completed an
initial public offering.  The performance of these listed equity  securities can
be highly volatile; however, we monitor them and seek to sell them over a period
of time.

     Prior to September  30, 2004,  we held levels of listed  equity  securities
which exposed us to  significant  equity price risk and resulting  volatility in
our  reported  earnings.  Subsequent  to the sale of our  remaining  holding  in
Packeteer,  Inc.  common  stock on September  30, 2004,  the market value of our
listed equity  trading  portfolio was only $0.6 million as of December 31, 2004.
During  January  2005,  we sold  all  but  $0.1  million  of the  listed  equity
securities  held as of December 31, 2004. At this level, we have greatly reduced
equity price risk and  fluctuations in the market value of our remaining  listed
equity  securities  should not have a material  impact on our earnings in future
periods.

     As of June 30,  2005,  we held $0.8  million  in private  corporate  equity
securities  of  technology  companies  for which  liquid  markets  do not exist.
Private equity prices do not fluctuate directly with public equity markets,  but
significant  market  movements  may  trigger a review  for  other-than-temporary
adjustment of the carrying  values of our private equity  securities.  The risks
inherent in these private equity  investments  relate primarily to the viability
of the  investee  companies.  We try to mitigate  these  risks in various  ways,
including performing extensive due diligence prior to making an investment,  and
regularly reviewing the progress of the investee companies.


Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     We maintain  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  designed to ensure that
information  required  to be  disclosed  in our  filings  under  the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended,  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and
reported  within the periods  specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.  Such
information is accumulated and  communicated  to our  management,  including our
chief executive officer and chief financial  officer,  as appropriate,  to allow
timely decisions regarding required  disclosure.  Our management,  including the
chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, recognizes that any set
of controls  and  procedures,  no matter how well  designed  and  operated,  can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

     As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly  report on Form 10-Q,
we carried out an evaluation,  under the supervision and with the  participation
of our  management,  including our chief  executive  officer and chief financial
officer,  of the  effectiveness  of the design and  operation of our  disclosure
controls and procedures.  Based on such evaluation,  our chief executive officer
and  chief  financial  officer  concluded  that  our  disclosure   controls  and
procedures  were  effective as of the end of the period covered by the quarterly
report on Form 10-Q.

     There were no changes in our internal  controls  over  financial  reporting
during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that materially  affected,  or that could
reasonably  likely  materially  affect,  our internal  controls  over  financial
reporting.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On March 8,  2005,  we were  made  aware of a  complaint  filed by  SunGard
Business  Systems Inc.  ("SunGard")  on February  17, 2005 in the U.S.  District
Court in  Philadelphia.  The Company and certain of its  subsidiaries  are named
parties.  SunGard's complaint alleges losses in an amount equal to at least $7.2
million and a claim for  indemnification  resulting  from,  among other  things,
alleged  breaches of  representations  and warranties  contained in the sale and
purchase  agreement of our financial  advisory  services  business  dated May 9,
2003. After consultation with our legal advisors,  we believe that this claim is
without merit,  and we are defending the matter  vigorously.  As such, we do not
believe that any provision in our financial statements is warranted.

     On April 27, 2005, we filed a complaint  against SunGard and certain of its
affiliates in California  Superior Court in San Francisco ("the Court") accusing
SunGard of, among other  things,  wrongful  conduct and seeking  payment of $1.0
million of the initial purchase consideration from the sale transaction which is
currently held in an escrow  account,  up to $8.0 million in additional  earnout
payments,  and further damages for SunGard's prior wrongful actions. We are also
asking the Court to award us compensatory,  exemplary and punitive  damages.  On
the same date, we filed in the U.S.  District Court in  Philadelphia a motion to
dismiss,  for lack of subject matter  jurisdiction,  SunGard's complaint against
us.

     On May 11, 2005, we became aware that SunGard had voluntarily dismissed its
federal  action and filed a new complaint in the court of Common Pleas,  Chester
County, Pennsylvania.  This latter complaint alleges essentially the same claims
against the same parties in SunGard's now dismissed federal action.

     On June 3,  2005,  SunGard  filed a motion  seeking  to dismiss or stay our
California  Superior  Court  action.  On June 10,  2005,  we filed a petition to
dismiss  SunGard's  complaint in the  Pennsylvania  court. On July 26, 2005, the
California  court  denied  SunGard's  motion to dismiss  or stay our  California
action against SunGard.

     Costs  relating to the above  matters are  recognized  in our  statement of
operations as they are incurred.
