UK - Kleinwort Capital trust unveils annual results

Total return for the year was a gain of 38.7p per ordinary 5p share. This represents a 15% increase in net assets per share to 290.6p per ordinary 5p Share, mainly due to increased valuations in Discovery Group, Intermed and Rayner Food Group. Earnings after taxation were 4.1p per ordinary 5p Share (2004 - 2.8p). A final dividend of 3.5p per share and a special dividend of 5.0p, which gives a total dividend for the year of 9.0p (2004 - 2.7p).

In the ten year period to 31 December 2005, the share price has risen from 97.0p to 232.5p, an increase of 140 percent - compared with a rise of 58 percent in the FTSE All-Share Index over the same period.
