         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2006

     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 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, 2005,
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 30, 2006. The December
31,  2005  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, 2006 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 Based Compensation

Equity compensation plan

     The London Pacific Group 1990 Employee Share Option Trust  ("ESOT"),  which
was approved by shareholders in 1990, provides for the granting of share options
to employees and directors. Options are generally granted with an exercise price
equal to the fair market  value of the  underlying  shares at the date of grant.
Such  grants  to  employees  are  generally  exercisable  in four  equal  annual
installments  beginning  one year from the date of grant,  subject to employment
continuation,  and expire seven to ten years from the date of grant. Such grants
to directors are fully vested on the date of grant and expire seven or ten years
from the date of grant.

Share based compensation expense

     On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) ("SFAS  123R"),  "Share-Based  Payment,"  which
establishes  standards  for the  accounting of  transactions  in which an entity
exchanges its equity  instruments for goods or services,  primarily  focusing on
accounting for transactions  where an entity obtains employee  services in share
based  payment  transactions.  SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the
cost  of  employee  services  received  in  exchange  for  an  award  of  equity
instruments,  including  share options,  based on the fair value of the award on
the grant date, and to recognize it as compensation  expense over the period the
employee is required to provide  service in exchange for the award,  usually the
vesting period.  SFAS 123R supersedes the Company's  previous  accounting  under
Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"),  "Accounting  for Stock
Issued to  Employees,"  and related  interpretations,  for periods  beginning in
fiscal 2006.  In March 2005,  the SEC issued Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 107
("SAB 107") relating to SFAS 123R. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB
107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R.

     The Company  adopted  SFAS 123R using the modified  prospective  transition
method,  which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January
1,  2006,  the  first day of the  Company's  fiscal  year  2006.  The  Company's
consolidated  financial  statements as of and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In  accordance  with the modified
prospective  transition method, the Company's  consolidated financial statements
for prior  periods have not been  restated to reflect,  and do not include,  the
impact of SFAS 123R.

     SFAS 123R  requires  companies  to  estimate  the fair value of share based
payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model.  The value of
the portion of the award that is  ultimately  expected to vest is  recognized as
expense  over  the  requisite  service  periods  in the  Company's  consolidated
statement  of  operations.  Prior to the  adoption  of SFAS  123R,  the  Company
accounted for share based awards to employees and directors  using the intrinsic
value method in accordance  with APB 25, as allowed under Statement of Financial
Accounting   Standards  No.  123  ("SFAS  123"),   "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation."  Under the intrinsic  value method,  no share based  compensation
expense  had  been  recognized  in  the  Company's   consolidated  statement  of
operations.

     Share based compensation  expense recognized in the Company's  consolidated
statement  of  operations  for the  three and six  months  ended  June 30,  2006
includes  compensation  expense for share options  granted prior to, but not yet
vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the fair value estimated as of the date
of grant in  accordance  with the  provisions  of SFAS 123R.  SFAS 123R requires
forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised,  if necessary,  in
subsequent  periods if actual  forfeitures  differ from those  estimates.  Share
based  compensation  expense  calculated in  accordance  with SFAS 123R is to be
based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and therefore the expense should be
reduced for estimated  forfeitures.  The Company's estimated forfeiture rate for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 of zero percent is based upon the

                                       9

short  remaining  vesting periods of the option grants (all but one option grant
will be fully vested by the end of 2006) and because all of the unvested options
relate  to  longstanding  employees.  In the  Company's  pro  forma  information
required  to be  disclosed  under SFAS 123 for the  periods  prior to 2006,  the
Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

     SFAS 123R requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting
from tax  deductions in excess of the  compensation  cost  recognized  for those
options to be classified  as financing  cash flows.  Due to the  Company's  loss
position,  and as the  Company  had no tax  deductions  related to share  option
exercises,  there were no such tax benefits during the first six months of 2006.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R,  those tax benefits would have been reported
as operating  cash flows had the Company  received  any tax benefits  related to
share option exercises.

     The fair value of share option grants to employees is calculated  using the
Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model,  even though this model was  developed to
estimate the fair value of freely tradable,  fully transferable  options without
vesting  restrictions,  which  differ  significantly  from the  Company's  share
options. The Black-Scholes model also requires subjective assumptions, including
future share price  volatility  and expected  time to  exercise,  which  greatly
affect the calculated  values.  The expected term of options  granted is derived
from  historical  data  on  employee   exercises  and  post-vesting   employment
termination behavior.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in
effect  during the  corresponding  period of grant.  The expected  volatility is
based on the historical  volatility of the Company's share price.  These factors
could  change in the  future,  which would  affect the share based  compensation
expense in future  periods,  if the  Company,  through  the ESOT,  should  grant
additional share options.

Valuation and expense information under SFAS 123R

     The estimated fair value of share option  compensation awards to employees,
as calculated  using the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing model as of the date of
grant,  is amortized using the  straight-line  method over the vesting period of
the  options.  For the three and six months  ended June 30,  2006,  compensation
expense  related to employee  share options under SFAS 123R totaled  $15,000 and
$47,000, respectively, and is included in operating expenses in the accompanying
statement of operations.

<FN>
(1) Net loss and loss per share and ADS prior to 2006 did not include  share based compensation expense for employee
    share  options under SFAS 123R because the Company did not adopt the recognition provisions of SFAS 123.

(2) Share based compensation expense prior to 2006 is calculated based on the pro forma application of SFAS 123.

(3) Net loss and net loss per share and ADS prior to 2006 represents pro forma information based on SFAS 123.

(4) 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.
</FN>
</TABLE>

     During the first six months of 2006, there were no option grants, exercises
or forfeitures. During the second quarter of 2006, 1,000,000 options expired and
480,000  options  vested.  At  June  30,  2006,  there  were  5,285,000  options
outstanding  with a weighted  average exercise price of $2.63. Of these options,
4,361,250 were  exercisable at June 30, 2006, and these have a weighted  average
exercise price of $3.15. The remaining 923,750 options were unvested at June 30,
2006. These unvested options have a weighted average exercise price of $0.15. As
of June 30, 2006, total  unrecognized  compensation  expense related to unvested
share options was $48,000,  of which $12,000 is expected to be recognized during
the  remainder  of 2006 and the balance of $36,000 is expected to be  recognized
ratably over 2007, 2008 and the first half of 2009.

     Option  grants  have not been made  since the second  quarter of 2005.  The
options granted in May 2005 were valued using the  Black-Scholes  option pricing
model with the following  assumptions:  expected share price  volatility of 34%,
risk-free  interest rate of 3.89%,  weighted average expected life of 6.25 years
and expected dividend yield of zero percent.

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

     For additional information relating to our employee share options, see Note
13 to the Company's  consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"),  "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -
an  Interpretation  of FASB  Statement No, 109." FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's  financial  statements
in  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  109,
"Accounting  for Income  Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a  recognition  threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position  taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  It also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company's  management does not expect the
adoption  of FIN 48 to have a  material  effect  on its  consolidated  financial
statements.


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 all of the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 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 both of the three
month  periods  ended  June 30,  2006 and  2005,  and for both of the six  month
periods  ended  June 30,  2006 and 2005,  there  would  have been an  additional
16,250,  96,450,  8,125  and  106,795  shares,  respectively,  included  in  the
calculations of diluted earnings per share for these periods.

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.

Fixed Maturity Securities

     The Group's fixed  maturity  securities  are comprised of U.S. and non-U.S.
corporate  debt  securities.  Generally,  quoted market prices are available for
these securities.

     An analysis of fixed maturity securities is as follows:

Investment Concentration and Risk

     As of June 30, 2006,  fixed maturity  securities held by the Group included
investments in Cadbury  Schweppes of $3,844,000,  British Telecom of $3,035,000,
AOL Time Warner of $2,005,000,  General Mills of $1,993,000, Tesco of $1,858,000
and  Scottish &  Newcastle  of  $1,853,000.  These six  corporate  issuers  each
represented more than 10% of shareholders'  equity as of June 30, 2006. However,
all of these bonds mature on or before June 26, 2007.

     As of June 30, 2006, the Company's Jersey based life insurance  subsidiary,
LPAL, owned 83% of the Group's $17.6 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 $9,000 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.

     As of June 30, 2006, the Group held no fixed maturity securities considered
less than investment grade.


Note 4.    Cash Held in Escrow

     Cash held in escrow at December  31, 2005  consisted of $1.0 million of the
cash  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.  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  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 has been defending the matter vigorously. Accordingly, the Company did
not make any reserve against the $1.0 million in cash and accrued  interest held
in escrow as of December 31, 2005. On August 9, 2006,  the Company (and  certain
of its  subsidiaries)  reached a  settlement  with  SunGard  on all  outstanding
litigation.  The Company and SunGard will dismiss all lawsuits against the other
and both parties have entered into a mutual general release.  Under the terms of
the  settlement,  the  Company  will  forego the $1.0  million  escrow  account,
including  accrued  interest.  As such,  the $1.0 million of cash held in escrow
(and  $56,000 of interest  earned on the escrow  account)  was written off as of
June 30, 2006. The write-off of the $1.0 million original escrow amount has been
shown as a loss on discontinued operations,  and the write-off of the $56,000 of
interest earned on the escrow account has been netted against investment income,
in the Company's  consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter of
2006.

     For further information, see Part II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" below.

Note 6.  Commitments and Contingencies

     As previously  disclosed in the Company's 2002 to 2005 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,  the North Carolina  Department of Insurance ("NCDOI") requested
information  concerning  the  history  of a  limited  number of  investments  in
securities  of  portfolio   companies  during  November  2002.  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.

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, 2006.

                  BERKELEY TECHNOLOGY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

     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, 2006.


Note 7.   Business Segment and Geographical Information

     The Company's reportable operating segments are classified according to its
businesses of venture capital and consulting, and life insurance and annuities.

     Intercompany  transfers between reportable operating segments are accounted
for at prices  which are designed to be  representative  of  unaffiliated  third
party transactions.

     Summary  revenue and  investment  gain  (loss)  information  by  geographic
segment,  based on the domicile of the Group company  generating those revenues,

     This  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed
consolidated  financial  statements,  and the notes  thereto,  included  in this
quarterly  report,  and the  December 31, 2005  audited  consolidated  financial
statements,  and the notes  thereto,  included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results

     This  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations and other sections of this report contain  forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934,  as  amended.  Such  forward-looking   statements  are  based  on  current
expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which
we operate,  management's  current beliefs and  assumptions  made by management.
Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks,"
"estimates,"  "goals,"  variations  of such words and  similar  expressions  are
intended to identify such forward-looking  statements.  These statements are not
guarantees of future  performance and involve certain risks,  uncertainties  and
assumptions  that are  difficult  to predict.  Future  outcomes  and results may
differ  materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such  forward-looking
statements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

     Factors   that  could  cause  or   contribute   to   deviations   from  the
forward-looking statements include those discussed in this section, elsewhere in
this report and in our other filings with the SEC. The factors include,  but are
not limited to, (i) the risks described in Item 3 "Quantitative  and Qualitative
Disclosures  About Market Risk," (ii)  variations in demand for our products and
services,  (iii) the success of our new products and services,  (iv) significant
changes in net cash flows in or out of our businesses,  (v)  fluctuations in the
performance of debt and equity markets worldwide,  (vi) the enactment of adverse
state,  federal  or  foreign  regulation  or  changes  in  government  policy or
regulation (including accounting standards) affecting our operations,  (vii) the
effect of  economic  conditions  and  interest  rates in the U.S.,  the U.K.  or
internationally,  (viii)  the  ability of our  subsidiaries  to compete in their
respective businesses, (ix) our ability to attract and retain key personnel, and

</TABLE>

Second quarter of 2006 compared to second quarter of 2005

     In the second quarter of 2006, the venture  capital and consulting  segment
contributed  a loss before  income  taxes of  $127,000 to our overall  loss from
continuing  operations  before  income  taxes,  compared to income before income
taxes of $21,000 in the second  quarter of 2005. The loss for the second quarter
of 2006 was  attributable  primarily to higher  operating  expenses  than in the
second  quarter of 2005, as well as to investment  losses  instead of investment
gains on listed equity securities.

     The change in net unrealized  gains and losses in the listed equity trading
portfolio  during the second quarter of 2006 was a loss of $33,000 compared to a
gain of $12,000 in the second  quarter of 2005. In June 2006,  the larger of the
two listed equity  securities in the portfolio was sold for no gain or loss. The
trading portfolio has therefore  decreased from $140,000 as of March 31, 2006 to
$9,000 as of June 30, 2006.

     The venture  capital  and  consulting  segment  earned  consulting  fees of
$156,000  during the second  quarter of 2006  compared to $177,000 in the second
quarter  of  2005,  by  advising  Silicon  Valley  telecommunications  equipment
companies   in   dealing   with   large   incumbent    European   and   Japanese
telecommunications  companies. BICC's objective is to use consulting revenues to
finance the development of large telecommunications company relationships, which
will  eventually  lead  to  equity  based  transactions,  with  fees  or  direct
investment  opportunities  for the Group.  There is also the  possibility of new
venture  funds  raised in  partnership  with  international  sources  of capital
leading to management fees and carried interests.

     Operating  expenses in the second  quarter of 2006  increased by $82,000 to
$250,000,   compared  to  the  second  quarter  of  2005,  primarily  due  to  a
non-recurring insurance claim reimbursement in the second quarter of 2005.

First six months of 2006 compared to first six months of 2005

     In both the first six months of 2006 and 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 from continuing operations before income taxes.
The losses in the first six months of 2006 and 2005 were attributable  primarily
to an excess of operating expenses over consulting fee income.

                                       20
<PAGE>



     The change in net unrealized  gains and losses in the listed equity trading
portfolio  during the first six months of 2006 was a gain of $24,000 compared to
a loss of $28,000 in the first six months of 2005.  In June 2006,  the larger of
the two listed equity  securities in the portfolio was sold for no gain or loss.
The trading  portfolio has therefore  decreased  from $84,000 as of December 31,
2005 to $9,000 as of June 30, 2006.

</TABLE>

     As  previously  disclosed in our 2002  through 2005 Annual  Reports on Form
10-K,  on July 2, 2002,  we announced  that LPAL would  discontinue  writing new
policies effective immediately.  The decision to discontinue the issuance of new
policies  was  made to avoid  the  increased  capital  requirements  created  by
additional  policyholder  liabilities.  Subsequent  to this  announcement,  LPAL
policy surrenders  increased  substantially.  Approximately 93% of LPAL's $140.2
million in policyholder liabilities as of June 30, 2002 have been surrendered or
have matured as of June 30, 2006.  Policyholder  liabilities as of June 30, 2006
were $9.2 million.  Almost all of the surrenders since June 30, 2002 occurred in
the second half of 2002; most of the decrease in policyholder  liabilities since
the end of 2002 is attributable to policy maturities.

     LPAL  now  focuses  on  managing  the  remaining   block  of   policyholder
liabilities. There are no plans currently to write new policies.

Second quarter of 2006 compared to second quarter of 2005

     In the second quarter of 2006, LPAL  contributed a loss before income taxes
of $63,000 to our overall loss from continuing  operations  before income taxes,
compared to a loss of $102,000 in the second quarter of 2005.

     The spread between  investment income and amounts credited to policyholders
improved  during the second  quarter of 2006  compared to the second  quarter of
2005,  from  $47,000 to $113,000.  Interest  credited on  policyholder  accounts
decreased by $130,000 to $137,000 in the second  quarter of 2006,  compared with
the second quarter of 2005. This decrease was primarily due to policy maturities
since the second quarter of 2005. The average rate credited to policyholders was
5.1% during the second quarter of 2006, compared with 5.7% in the second quarter
of 2005.  Interest  income on  investments  fell by $64,000 to  $250,000  in the
second

                                       21
<PAGE>

quarter of 2006,  compared to the second  quarter of 2005,  primarily due to the
decline in LPAL's  corporate  bond  investments  which was  consistent  with the
decline in its policyholder  liabilities over the period. The level of corporate
bonds  held by LPAL  decreased  from  $18.5  million  at June 30,  2005 to $14.6
million at June 30, 2006.

     Total  invested  assets  decreased  to $20.2  million as of June 30,  2006,
compared with $22.2 million as of March 31, 2006  primarily due to  policyholder
benefits  paid of $2.9  million  during  the second  quarter  of 2006.  On total
average  invested  assets in the second quarter of 2006, the average  annualized
net return was 4.8%, compared with 4.3% in the second quarter of 2005.

     Policyholder  liabilities  as of June 30,  2006 were $9.2  million of which
$5.9 million is scheduled to mature during the remaining six months of 2006. 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 $3.2 million at the end of 2006.

First six months of 2006 compared to first six months of 2005

     In the first six months of 2006,  LPAL  contributed  a loss  before  income
taxes of $0.1  million to our overall  loss from  continuing  operations  before
income  taxes,  compared to a loss before  income  taxes of $0.5  million in the
first six months of 2005.  In the first six months of 2006,  the spread  between
investment  income and  amounts  credited  to  policyholders  increased  by $0.1
million; and general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million, each
as compared to the first six months of 2005.

     The spread between  investment income and amounts credited to policyholders
improved during the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of
2005,  from  $78,000 to $214,000.  Interest  credited on  policyholder  accounts
decreased by $250,000 to $0.3 million in the first six months of 2006,  compared
with the first six months of 2005.  This  decrease was  primarily  due to policy
maturities  since  the end of the  second  quarter  of 2005.  The  average  rate
credited to policyholders was 5.2% during the first six months of 2006, compared
with 5.6% during the first six months of 2005.  Interest  income on  investments
decreased  by $0.1  million  to $0.5  million  in the first  six  months of 2006
compared to the first six months of 2005, primarily due to the decline in LPAL's
corporate  bond  investments  which  was  consistent  with  the  decline  in its
policyholder liabilities over the period.

     There  were no net  investment  gains or losses in the first six  months of
2006,  compared with net investment losses of $25,000 in the first six months of
2005.  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 $20.2  million as of June 30,  2006,
compared  with  $24.7  million  as  of  December  31,  2005   primarily  due  to
policyholder  benefits paid of $5.6 million during the first six months of 2006.
On total average  invested  assets in the first six months of 2006,  the average
annualized  net return was 4.4%,  compared  with 4.0% in the first six months of
2005.

     Policyholder  liabilities  as of June 30,  2006 were $9.2  million of which
$5.9 million is scheduled to mature during the remaining six months of 2006. 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 $3.2 million at the end of 2006.

     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  $308,000,  compared to $360,000 for the first six months of
2006.  This $52,000  increase was due  primarily to higher  corporate  insurance
costs allocated to the life insurance and annuities segment.

Corporate and Other

Second quarter of 2006 compared to second quarter of 2005

     Corporate  expenses increased by $0.2 million to $0.9 million in the second
quarter of 2006,  compared to the second quarter of 2005.  This increase was due
primarily to $0.2 million of losses  associated  with the sublease of our Jersey
office.

First six months of 2006 compared to first six months of 2005

     Corporate  expenses  increased by $0.3 million to $1.5 million in the first
six months of 2006,  compared to the first six months of 2005. This increase was
due  primarily to losses  associated  with the sublease of our Jersey office and
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) decreased by $50,000 to $0.1 million in the first six months
of 2006,  compared  to the  first  six  months of 2005.  This  decrease  was due
primarily to the  write-off  of interest  earned on the cash held in escrow (see
Note 4 "Cash Held in Escrow" to our Unaudited Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements)  which was  partially  offset by the improved  yields  earned on our
liquid assets by investing in short-term corporate debt.

Consolidated Loss from Continuing Operations Before Income Tax Expense

Second quarter of 2006 compared to second quarter of 2005

     Our consolidated loss from continuing  operations before income tax expense
was $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to a loss before income
tax expense of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2005.  This higher loss was
due primarily to an increase in operating expenses of $0.3 million. As discussed
above,  in the  second  quarter  of 2006  there  were  losses  of  $0.2  million
associated  with the sublease of the Jersey office and in the second  quarter of
2005, there was a non-recurring insurance claim reimbursement of $0.1 million.

     Due to the sale 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.

     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 2006 compared to first six months of 2005

     Our consolidated loss from continuing  operations before income tax expense
was $1.7  million  in the first six months of 2006,  compared  to a loss of $1.8
million in the first six months of 2005.  This lower loss was due  primarily  to
higher net investment  income after amounts  credited on insurance  policyholder
accounts of $86,000, and net unrealized investment gains of $24,000 in the first
six months of 2006 compared to net realized and unrealized  investment losses of
$53,000 in the first six months of 2005.  These amounts were partially offset by
a $63,000  increase  in  operating  expenses  for the  first six  months of 2006
compared  to  the  first  six  months  of  2005.  This  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to the losses related to the Jersey office  sublease and increased
legal fees related to the SunGard matter in the first six months of 2006,  which
were partially offset by the  non-recurring  severance costs net of an insurance
claim reimbursement in the first six months of 2005.

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

                                       23
<PAGE>


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 2006 compared to second quarter of 2005

     We had no tax expense and recorded no tax benefits in the second quarter of
2006,  though we had a $1.0  million loss before  income  taxes.  Although  $0.5
million of losses were contributed by our Jersey and Guernsey  operations during
the second  quarter of 2006,  we did not  recognize  any tax benefits due to the
uncertainty  surrounding  their recovery  before expiry.  Losses of $0.5 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 2006 compared to first six months of 2005

     We  recorded  only  $5,000 of tax  expense in the first six months of 2006,
related  to  minimum  California  taxes.  While  losses  of  $0.8  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 $0.8 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.

Discontinued Operations

Second quarter (and first six months) of 2006 compared to second quarter
 (and first six months) of 2005

     The $1.0 million loss on discontinued  operations for the second quarter of
2006  resulted  from the  write-off  of the $1.0  million of cash held in escrow
which  was part of the  proceeds  from the sale of LPA in June 2003 held back to
cover any of the Group's indemnity obligations (see Note 4 "Cash Held in Escrow"
of the Unaudited Condensed  Consolidated Financial Statements above and Part II,
Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" below.)


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

                                       24
<PAGE>

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.

     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



                                       25
<PAGE>
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).

Contingent Liabilities

     As discussed in Note 6 to our Unaudited  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements,  we are involved in various  matters that may or may not result in a
loss to the Group.  We account for  contingent  liabilities  in accordance  with
Statement  of   Financial   Accounting   Standards   No.  5,   "Accounting   for
Contingencies."  As such, in situations where we believe that a loss is probable
and where we can  reasonably  estimate the amount of the loss, we will recognize
that estimated loss in our financial  statements.  Because of the  uncertainties
that exist, we cannot predict the outcome of the pending matters with certainty.
Actual results may differ from our estimates,  and the ultimate outcome of these
matters  could  have a  significant  impact on our  results  of  operations  and
financial position.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our cash and cash equivalents decreased during the first six months of 2006
by $2.3  million to $7.7  million.  This  decrease in cash and cash  equivalents
primarily  resulted from $0.5 million and $5.6 million of cash used in operating
activities  and financing  activities,  respectively,  partially  offset by $3.6
million  provided by investing  activities.  Cash used in  financing  activities
related to insurance  policyholder benefits paid by LPAL. Cash used in operating
activities  primarily  resulted  from  the  $1.7  million  operating  loss  from
continuing  operations for the first six months of 2006,  partially offset by an
increase in accrued expenses and a decrease in accrued investment  income.  Cash
provided by  investing  activities  primarily  related to the  maturity of fixed
maturity securities held by the Group and LPAL, partially offset by the purchase
of fixed  maturity  securities by LPAL and the Group.  As of June 30, 2006,  our
cash and cash equivalents,  excluding the amount held by LPAL,  amounted to $3.3
million,  an increase of $2.8 million from December 31, 2005. We reinvested $3.0
million of the $7.0  million  proceeds  from the  corporate  bonds that  matured
during the first six months of 2006.  This $3.0 million will mature on or before
June 26, 2007.

     Shareholders'  equity decreased during the first six months of 2006 by $2.8
million  from $19.6  million at December  31, 2005 to $16.8  million at June 30,
2006,  primarily due to the net loss for the period of $2.7 million.  As of June
30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $62.6 million 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 2006,  LPAL  continued  to service  its  existing
policyholders.  During this period,  policy surrenders  totaled $0.2 million and
policy  maturities  totaled $5.4  million.  Policyholder  liabilities  were $9.2
million as of June 30, 2006,  compared to $13.6 million as of December 31, 2005.
We do not expect significant  surrender activity during the remaining six months
of 2006;  however,  approximately  $5.9 million of policyholder  liabilities are
scheduled to mature during this period.

                                       26
<PAGE>

LPAL has sufficient  liquid resources to fund these  maturities.  As of June 30,
2006, LPAL had cash of $4.4 million, accrued interest receivable of $0.3 million
and corporate bonds of $14.6 million.

     In prior  years,  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  listed  equity  holdings  during 2004 and in January 2005,
fluctuations  in the market value of LPAL's listed  equity  securities no longer
have an impact on LPAL's required statutory capital level.

     As of June 30,  2006,  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, 2006, we had $3.3 million of cash and cash  equivalents  and
$3.0  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.

     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
our  staffing  levels in early 2005.  After the payment of all related  employee
severance  costs in 2005,  the impact of the staff cost  reductions is now being
fully realized during 2006. We implemented other cost reductions during 2005 and
are  continuing  to implement  further cost  reductions  in 2006,  including the
sublease  of our  Jersey  office  space for the  remainder  of our  lease  term,
effective from June 2006.


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.

     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 cash and cash  equivalents  in LPAL and in the
remainder  of the Group is  expected  to be less than $0.2  million  during  the
remainder of 2006,  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.

                                       27
<PAGE>

     In prior years, we held levels of listed equity securities which exposed us
to  significant  equity  price risk and  resulting  volatility  in our  reported
earnings.  By the end of June  2005,  we sold all but one of our  listed  equity
holdings. As of June 30, 2006, the remaining listed equity security had a market
value of $9,000. At this level, there is a 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,  2006,  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, 2006 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 February 17, 2005,  SunGard  Business Systems Inc.  ("SunGard")  filed a
lawsuit in the U.S.  District  Court in  Philadelphia  against  the  Company and
certain of its  subsidiaries.  SunGard's  complaint  alleged losses in an amount
equal  to  at  least  $7.2   million   resulting   from   alleged   breaches  of
representations and warranties contained in the May 2003 agreement governing the
sale to SunGard of London  Pacific  Advisors,  our financial  advisory  services
business.

     On April 27, 2005,  we filed a lawsuit  against  SunGard and certain of its
affiliates in California  Superior Court in San Francisco ("the Court") accusing
SunGard of wrongful  conduct and seeking  payment of $1.0 million of the initial
purchase  consideration  which was held in an escrow account, up to $8.0 million
in additional earnout payments, and further damages for SunGard's prior wrongful
actions.  We also  asked  the  Court  to award us  compensatory,  exemplary  and
punitive damages.

     We also filed a motion to dismiss, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction,
SunGard's lawsuit against us in Pennsylvania. SunGard then voluntarily dismissed
its federal  action  against us and filed a new complaint in the court of Common
Pleas, Chester County, Pennsylvania.  This new complaint alleged essentially the
same claims  against the same parties that were  contained in SunGard's  federal
action.

     On June 3, 2005,  SunGard filed a motion to dismiss or stay our  California
Superior  Court  action  on  jurisdictional  grounds.  On  July  26,  2005,  the
California court denied SunGard's motion.  On August 25, 2005,  SunGard appealed
that  decision.  Its  appeal was  summarily  denied by the  California  court of
appeals on September 22, 2005. In response, on October 12, 2005, SunGard filed a
motion  seeking  to  dismiss  13 of the 14 claims  contained  in our  California
complaint.  On January 3, 2006, the Court heard this motion and dismissed  three
of our claims,  and allowed us to amend six of our remaining  claims. On January
6, 2006, we lodged an 11-count amended  complaint which amended and supplemented
our claims based upon the substantial  document discovery received from SunGard.
SunGard responded by filing another motion,  this time to dismiss nine of our 11
claims.  SunGard also sought to seal our amended  complaint from public view. On
March 1, 2006,  the Court heard  SunGard's  motions and dismissed four of our 11
claims.  The Court then  ordered  SunGard to answer our seven  remaining  claims
within 20 days of its March 14,  2006  order.  The Court also  denied  SunGard's
motion to seal our amended complaint.

     On April  3,  2006,  we  received  SunGard's  Answer  and  Cross-Complaint,
responding to our Second Amended  Complaint against them. Their Answer generally
denied  our  allegations  and  raised  several   affirmative   defenses.   Their
Cross-Complaint  essentially  repeated  the  alleged  breach of  contract  claim
brought in their Pennsylvania  action, while adding SunGard Data Systems Inc. as
a claimant, and essentially repeated their intentional misrepresentation claim.

     On June 10, 2005, we filed a petition to dismiss SunGard's complaint in the
Pennsylvania  court. That motion was heard on April 26, 2006. The court, on June
21, 2006,  issued a stay of the  Pennsylvania  action pending  resolution of the
California Superior Court action.

     On August 9, 2006,  we and  SunGard  entered  into a  settlement  agreement
covering all of the above actions.  We, and SunGard,  will promptly  dismiss all
lawsuits  against the other,  and we have entered into a mutual general release.
Under  the terms of the  settlement,  we will  forego  the $1.0  million  escrow
account,  including accrued interest on the account.  Accordingly,  we wrote-off
the $1.0  million of cash held in escrow (and  accrued  interest) as of June 30,
2006.  While we continue to believe  that  SunGard's  claims  against us have no
merit, the prospect of significantly  escalating legal costs and a probable long
horizon  (including  any appeals) to  resolution of our claims  against  SunGard
caused us to conclude  that  settlement on the terms agreed was in the Company's
best interests.

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