1 Fund Performance 2 : GSO Capital Partners International LLP Carador plc (the Fund or the Company ) October Monthly Return 12m Dividend Yield 3 YTD Return 4 LTM Total Return 5 Total Return Inception 5 Price/Net Asset Value Carador Price -7.14% 20.93% -9.53% % -8.06% +9.67% Carador NAV -8.77% General Commentary Fund performance NAV decreased to 59.27c in October. The decrease of EUR includes the dividend of EUR (equivalent to 8.47% of September NAV) in respect of the 6 month interim period paid on 31 October The Fund received cash flows from 13 transactions worth 740,206 in the month of which 217,686 (29.41%) were allocated to principal. The annualised cash on cash returns from distributions ranged from 4.69% (from a transaction originally structured to retain 75% of the income to purchase additional assets) to 48.32% (from a transaction purchased earlier in 2008). The average annualised cash on cash returns on distributions received in October was 23.28%. There were four loan defaults in the leveraged loan market in October 6. Carador had exposure to 3 of these names through 3 portfolios with an average exposure per name of 0.18% 7. On 27 October 2008, the Carador Board declared a dividend of 5.5 cents per ordinary share in respect of the semi-annual period ending 30 September This compares with a dividend of 5.2c paid for the semi-annual period ending 30 March Interest payments in the underlying investments are dependent on defaults rather than mark to market values and as such have benefited from Carador s low cumulative default rate vs the overall market. Market performance Leveraged Loans Technical factors again had a significant impact on the leveraged loan market in October. The collapse of the Icelandic banking system resulted in the publication of bid lists for over 1.6bn worth of leveraged loans. These lists were posted on Thursday, 9 th and Friday 10 th October with extremely tight deadlines (hours) in a very illiquid market. The LCDX index closed at 84 on October 9 th, down from the day before and at the previous Friday s close. Several other bid lists followed from market value CLOs and TRS, with mark to market triggers. 1 Please see important disclaimer at the end of this document 2 Bloomberg analytics unless otherwise stated.

2 The following table summarizes returns for leveraged loans and the major asset classes for October and YTD 2008: Market October Total Return 2008 YTD Total Return S&P LCD / LSTA Loan Index % % Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index % % Merrill Lynch Corporate Master Index -7.38% % Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Index (7-10 Years) -1.25% 3.82% Rating/Sector/Index performance: There were four loan defaults in October. Aurora Oil & Gas ($50 million facility, no exposure in Carador), Sleep Innovations ($340 million facility, 0.14% exposure in one portfolio), Philadelphia Media ($295 million facility, exposure in 3 portfolios, 0.30%, 0.19% and 0.20% respectively) and Gainey Transportation ($210 million facility, exposure in 2 portfolios, 0.13% and 0.13% respectively). As a result of these defaults, the lagging 12-month issuer-weighted default rate increased to 3.59% from 3.32% in September. The default rate by principal amount continues to be lower, increasing to 1.97% from 1.91% in September. Of the 30 defaulters in 2008, 27% are concentrated in real estate, 17% in automotive, 13% in gaming and 10% in transportation. Carador s cumulative underlying portfolio default rate since inception (April 2006) is 0.967%. The technical pressure on loans means that the traditional measures of distress have to be redefined. As at the end of October, 59% of the loans in the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index were trading at a spread to maturity of over Libor+1000 bps and, according to JP Morgan, 21% of the market currently trades at a price of 50 or lower. The implied default rate in US leveraged loans, assuming +276 bps long term excess spread 8 and average spread of +893, currently stands at 20.56% or 68% cumulative default rate over 5 years. It is interesting to note that, following the same methodology, the Merrill Lynch High Yield 100 bond index currently implies a 11.49% annual default rate, assuming a 43% recovery rate for high yield bonds 9. CLOs The CLO market amplified the price movements and illiquidity of the underlying leveraged loan market. Senior tranches kept underperforming. The following table summarizes JP Morgan s estimates for US and EUR CLO spread changes. CLO 25-Sep Oct-08 AAA AA A BBB BB Mezzanine tranches have underperformed on the back of bid lists which originated partly from the liquidation of CDOs of ABS or CDO^2 with CLO buckets. AAA liquidation dominated the 8 Defined as (long term average spread long term average defaults * long term recovery rate).

3 first half of October with more mezzanine tranches coming in during the second half. The price talk in these bid lists showed relative lack of differentiation among portfolios or managers. The new paradigm in loan prices has brought forward a debate about discount obligations. Cash flow CLOs are not required to mark to market positions for the purpose of calculating the over-collateralization test (OC test, assets divided by rated liabilities, which if broken would divert cash flows away from the more junior tranches). There are two standard exceptions: CCC obligations, once the portfolio exceeds a certain maximum percentage of CCC loans, and loans purchased below a certain price, normally 80 to 85 (defined as discount obligations). In the past, a loan trading below 80 could safely be considered problematic, and this constraint prevented managers from taking down the quality of the portfolio while building OC test par. Given current average market prices, the unintended consequence of the constraint is that a CLO manager is not incentivized to sell loans trading below 80 (the OC test would suffer the realized loss), to purchase discount obligations (which will be marked at purchase price, not par, for OC test purposes). Although S&P has issued some constructive comments in this respect, changes are likely to require approval from all CLO tranches and this is likely to highlight the different priorities among noteholders, with AAAs potentially benefiting from a breach of the test which may bring forward principal repayment. Another non-credit related issue we are monitoring closely is the potential negative impact this quarter of the differences in timing between the Libor setting for the assets and the liabilities of a CLO. 3 month USD Libor reached 4.82% on 10 October (up from sub 3% levels in September, pre-lehman). 11 CLOs in Carador reset their liabilities in the month of October. Depending on the rate of reset on the assets, this may affect next quarter s cash flows. Given the relative normalization of Libor after October this is likely to be a one-off situation. On the portfolio side we are also following closely the percentage of loans which reacted to the run up of Libor by switching to Prime based rates. It is interesting to note that several of the agreed covenant waiver amendments seen recently include Libor floors and/or changes to the ability to switch rates in the future. Outlook We continue to adopt a cautious approach to investment and as a consequence remain very selective about price and quality. This resulted in the decision not to acquire any new assets in October. We are cautiously exploring opportunities in BB tranches where cash on cash returns have increased markedly and, in addition, benefit from additional subordination.
