Introduction and Performance

During the six months ended 31st August 2015, the total return on shareholders fundswas –4.3%, compared with a return of –6.1% recorded by the composite benchmark(comprising 90% FTSE 350 Index and 10% Barclays Global Aggregate CorporateBond Index in sterling terms). The Company remains fully invested in equities and therelative outperformance of the benchmark was attributed mainly to stock selection.

The performance of the UK economy has remained positive throughout the period,with the result of the General Election contributing to market confidence. TheFTSE 100 Index was on an upward trend (underpinned by good news on profits anddividends) until early August. Then, in tandem with stock markets around the worldand reflecting the extent to which many listed UK companies depend upon overseasearnings, it suffered a significant correction. News of the economic downturn in Chinaand concerns that this would negatively impact global economic growth seemed tobe the main cause for this sudden fall. Other concerns included continuinguncertainty surrounding the possible exit of Greece from the Eurozone, worries aboutdeflation in Europe and fears of an increase in interest rates in the United States.

Although weak commodity and energy prices have been positive for the world’sdeveloped economies, the realisation that they result from a fall in economic growthin China and other emerging economies has depressed sentiment. The central banksof the major economies continued to maintain low interest rates and, in Japan andthe Eurozone, to inject liquidity into the financial system. These efforts, combinedwith heavy market intervention by the authorities in China towards the end of theperiod, helped to maintain a generally positive investing environment, albeit raisingconcerns about the sustainability of markets over the long term without substantialgovernment support.

The Investment Managers provide a detailed commentary covering marketdevelopments and your Company’s portfolio in their report.

Income Statement and Dividends

Revenue after tax and before dividends for the period was £4.1 million and therevenue return per Ordinary share was 6.0 pence.

The capital loss per Ordinary share was 16.9 pence, reflecting the impact of the fallin the value in our shareholdings. The total loss per Ordinary share was therefore10.9 pence.

For the six month period, the Board has declared two quarterly interim dividends,each of 1.70 pence per Ordinary Share, payable to Ordinary shareholders and Unitholders on 24th July 2015 and 23rd October 2015. The Board intends, in the absenceof unforeseen circumstance, to maintain the current level of quarterly dividends toOrdinary shareholders and Unit holders for the remainder of the financial yearending 29th February 2016.

The undistributed revenue reserves, after allowing for the payment of the secondinterim dividend, amount to £4.70 million.

Hurdle Rate

The Hurdle Rate measures the amount by which the total assets of the Company haveto grow each year in order to return the current share price to Ordinary shareholderswhen the Company winds up in February 2018. At 31st August 2015, the Hurdle Raterequired to return the Ordinary share price of 96.3 pence was 3.7% per annum andthe Hurdle Rate required to return an Ordinary share price of 100.0 pence was 4.4%per annum. At 31st August 2015, the Hurdle Rate required to return the Final CapitalEntitlement of the ZDP shares of 192.13 pence was (16.9)% per annum.

At 9th October 2015, the Hurdle Rate required to return the current Ordinary shareprice of 87.0 pence was 1.9% per annum and to return the Final Capital Entitlement ofthe ZDP shares of 192.13 pence was (17.7)%.

Outlook

Given the sharp market correction in August (and continuing turbulence in September)combined with increasing concerns about a slowdown in world growth, it is clear thatthe equity bull run witnessed since 2009 is facing some strong headwinds. It isdifficult, however, to reach a definite view given the extent to which central banksappear to be willing to provide support to faltering economies and markets by way oflow interest rates and liquidity injections. Your Board and the Managers will remainvigilant through the current volatility, with the Company’s portfolio being managedwith the objective of meeting the final capital entitlement of Zero Dividend Preferenceshareholders and providing income and capital growth for Ordinary shareholders.

Investment Managers’ Report

Portfolio Review

There has been no change to the asset allocation of the Company during the halfyear. Apart from a small cash holding, the portfolio is fully exposed to equities. TheCompany remains overweight equities relative to its composite benchmark as webelieve that the outlook for equities and dividend growth seems likely to be positive.Additionally, valuations remain supportive with many corporate balance sheets inrude health.

When assessing the investment opportunity provided by stocks we focus on whetherearnings estimates are being revised up, the valuation is attractive and whetherthe balance sheet and forecast cash flows allow for sustainable dividend growth. Assuch, portfolio construction is determined by bottom up stock selection. Looking atportfolio activity in the first half we introduced a holding in Intermediate CapitalGroup which provides mezzanine finance and has a growing asset managementbusiness. The stock has a premium dividend yield and its growing fund managementand associated fee earning capability will improve the earnings quality of the group.We bought a holding in Synthomer, the chemicals group (formerly Yule Catto) whichhas a new management team that is focused on driving higher returns and will returnexcess cash to shareholders if there are insufficient investment opportunities. Wealso bought Costain, a UK focused infrastructure group. The company reportedstrong results and the outlook is strong, not least because of planned increases inroad spending by Highways England. Card Factory was another addition to theportfolio. The company has a network of 750 stores in the UK which sell valuegreetings cards. Strong trading and cash generation means the company is in aposition to increase total payouts via special dividends.

Conversely, we sold our positions in Prudential, Compass Group, Elementis and GKN.The sale of Prudential was predicated on increasing fears of a slowdown in growth inthe company’s Asian operations and regulatory uncertainty in the UK & US. Compasshas been a very long term position for us during which time the stock has performedstrongly thanks to growth in North America and margin expansion. We sold theholding because the upside from current levels looked less compelling. We exited ourposition in chemical group Elementis, as the trading outlook was deteriorating due toslowing growth in China, Brazil and in their oil and gas operations. Our sale of GKNwas due to weak performances in divisions exposed to agricultural machinery andautomotive components.

Performance Review

In the six month period to the 31st August the Company’s return was –4.3% incomparison with the benchmark’s return of –6.1%. Stock selection was the key driverof the relative outperformance as, contrary to our expectation, corporate bondsoutperformed equities. A number of our domestic cyclical stocks outperformed thepositive equity market, particularly after the surprise majority win by the ConservativeParty in the UK general election in early May 2015. Our housebuilding stocks wereparticularly strong, led by Taylor Wimpey and Berkeley Group as well as Galliford Try.Another key contributor to performance was the Company’s long term overweightposition in ITV which delivered robust returns having announced good results, astrong increase in the ordinary dividend and a higher than expected special dividendfor the most recent financial year. Next Plc, performed well for us again as tradingconsistently beats expectations and strong cash generation makes further special

dividends likely. Some of our favoured financial stocks were also positive contributorsto the outperformance including Jupiter Fund Management and Provident Financial.

The worst performing stocks in the Company were mining and oil companies. Metals’prices were under pressure as demand from China slowed. The headline grabbingcollapse in the oil price over the last 12 months is a boon to consumers but achallenge for companies such as Royal Dutch Shell in which the Company holds aposition. We maintain a position in this company for its dividend yield to whichmanagement reiterated their commitment. Equipment rental company Ashteadperformed poorly in the six month period as fears increased that weak results frompeers heralded a slowdown in the company’s remarkable growth. The company wenton to beat expectations just after year end.

Market review

UK stocks fell over the six months to 31st August 2015, with the FTSE 350 ex ITs Indexdown 6.6%*. Sentiment was particularly weak towards the end of the review periodas a shock currency devaluation in China raised concerns over global growth. Thedomestic UK economy, however, remained relatively strong, although weak inflationdata and global uncertainty meant that expectations for the first UK interest rate risewere pushed back. Sterling corporate bonds fell in the period, with the Barclays GlobalAggregate Corporate UK Index down 1.5%. The market experienced volatility towardsthe end of the six months, as Chinese growth fears were reignited. Otherwise, demandfor yield remained robust given the ongoing low interest rate environment.

Sentiment over much of the period was dominated by uncertainty over the likelytiming and pace of interest rate rises by the Bank of England (BoE). Expectationsfor the first rise in UK base rates since July 2007 were pushed back, with continueddisinflationary pressures reinforcing the view that the central bank would keeprates on hold until 2016. A sharp fall in gas and energy costs, and a drop in foodand clothing prices, helped push the annual change in the consumer price indexdown to –0.1% in the year to April – the lowest level since records began in 1989, andthe first negative reading since at least 1960 according to the Office for NationalStatistics. With inflation well below target through the review period, marketscontinued to expect the BoE to keep rates on hold until 2016, with minutes from theMonetary Policy Committee meetings adding to this sentiment.

Aside from ongoing speculation over the timing of the BoE’s first rise, the benigninterest rate environment was generally supportive for stocks. Low interest rates tendto increase the attractiveness of risk assets, such as UK shares, while low borrowingcosts can boost consumer spending and lower borrowing costs for companies –helping lift future corporate earnings potential.

The UK general election campaign added to market nerves early in the review periodafter polls suggested that both major parties (the Conservatives and Labour) couldstruggle to form a stable government following the vote on 7th May. In the event, asurprise outright majority for the Conservatives prompted a relief rally, particularly insectors that had faced tighter regulation under a Labour-led government, such ashomebuilders, utility companies and property developers. The unexpected victoryalso sparked a sharp rise for sterling on currency markets.

Investment Managers’ Reportcontinued

The UK economy also showed signs of picking up steam as the review periodprogressed. GDP growth rebounded to 0.7% in the second quarter, up from 0.4%in the first quarter. House prices rose sharply in the wake of the election, whilelabour market conditions continued to improve, with unemployment falling to5.4%, the lowest level since 2008, and wages rising at their fastest pace since2009 in the April to June period.

However, it was overseas concerns that weighed most on UK returns. Worries overGreek debt caused volatility early in the summer as deadlines loomed and Europestruggled to reach a bailout agreement. In August, the People’s Bank of Chinaannounced its move to devalue the renminbi by the most in almost two decades, inorder to implement a more market-driven framework for the currency. The surprisedecision sent shockwaves through global markets in late August, sparking worriesabout the extent of China’s economic weakness and the impact on global growth.Fears over China’s slowdown and subsequent falling demand for raw materials alsocontinued to put pressure on commodity prices, leading to earnings downgrades formajor UK-listed oil producers and mining companies.

UK dividend growth disappointed in the review period, with dividends rising just 1.2%year on year in the second quarter, according to the Capita UK Dividend Monitor – theslowest pace in over three years. Dividend payments have come under pressure fromslow corporate earnings growth, while strength in sterling has reduced dividendsdenominated in foreign currencies, which has been particularly negative for themining and financials sectors. However, with bond yields languishing at lows, theappeal of dividend-paying companies to income investors remained intact.

Market outlook

As we head towards the end of 2015, attention is turning to monetary policy and thetiming of the first UK interest rate rise. Although the consumer price index remains atvery low levels, the UK’s large current account deficit and low productivity growthcould suggest that inflationary tendencies in the economy remain strong. As a result,the recent strength of UK economic data – particularly a pick-up in wage growth anda post-election surge in house prices – reinforces the prospect of eventual interestrate rises.

Rising interest rates would be expected to cause headwinds for domestically focusedcompanies, which have generally outperformed over the last 12 months.Nevertheless, interest rate rises, when they are eventually introduced, are likely to bemodest and gradual, which may ease the pressure on stocks. The UK market alsoremains reasonably attractive from a valuation perspective, trading on a lowerforward price-to-earnings ratio than many other developed markets and offering ahigh dividend yield compared to the low income available from government bonds.Corporate earnings’ expectations have fallen in the last year, so any further reboundin European growth and a stabilisation in commodity prices could lead to upgradesand provide further support to valuations.

Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the six months ended 31st August 2015

1. Financial statements

The information contained within the Financial Statements in this half year report has not been audited or reviewed by theCompany’s auditors.

The figures and financial information for the year ended 28th February 2015 are extracted from the latest published financialstatements of the Company and do not constitute the statutory accounts for that year. Those financial statements have beendelivered to the Registrar of Companies, including the report of the auditors which was unqualified and did not contain astatement under either section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

2. Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 ‘The Financial ReportingStandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ of the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘UKGAAP’) and with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and VentureCapital Trusts’ (the revised ‘SORP’) issued by the Association of Investment Companies in November 2014.

FRS 104 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, issued by the Financial Reporting Council (‘FRC’) in March 2015 has been applied inpreparing this condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31st August 2015.

As a result of the first time adoption of FRS 102 and the revised SORP, presentational formats of the primary financialstatements have been amended. There were no prior period restatements as a result of these changes.

All of the company’s operations are of a continuing nature.

The accounting policies applied to this condensed set of financial statements are consistent with those applied in the financialstatements for the year ended 28th February 2015 with the following exceptions and amendments:

Finance costsFinance costs are accounted for on an accruals basis using the effective interest method and in accordance with the provisionsof FRS 102.

Financial instrumentsCash and cash equivalents may comprise cash (including demand deposits which are readily convertible to a known amountof cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value) as well as cash equivalents.

In accordance with the requirements of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive regulations, investments areregarded as cash equivalents if they are highly liquid investments held in the sub-fund’s base currency that are readilyconvertible to a known amount of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and provide a return no greaterthan the rate of a three-month high quality government bond. As a result, the Company’s investment in the JPMorgan SterlingLiquidity Fund is now presented as a cash equivalent.

In accordance with FRS 102, because of the Company’s limited life and the rights and obligations attached to the Zero DividendPreference shares, these shares are classified in the financial statements as liabilities.

Foreign currencyIn accordance with FRS 102 the Company is required to identify its functional currency, being the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which the Company operates. The Board, having regard to the currency of the Company’s sharecapital and the predominant currency in which its shareholders operate, has determined that sterling is the functionalcurrency. Sterling is also the currency in which the accounts are presented.

TaxationCurrent tax is provided at the amounts expected to be received or paid.

Capital entitlement of the Zero Dividend Preference shareholdersThe provision for the capital entitlement of the Zero Dividend Preference shares is included as a finance cost in the Statementof Comprehensive Income and is credited to the capital entitlement of the Zero Dividend Preference shareholders. Theprovision is calculated on a cumulative compound basis. The Zero Dividend Preference shares are recognised as liabilities dueto their predetermined life, in accordance with FRS 102.

Only the relevant section of the applicable policies from the last year end accounts which have changed as a result of the application of the 2014AIC SORP and FRS 102 have been reproduced above - all other aspects of those policies remain the same. The impact of the changes issubstantially in relation to presentational, disclosure and non-quantifiable aspects.

Capital Structure of the Company

The Company’s capital consists of Ordinary shares of 1p eachand Zero Dividend Preference shares (‘ZDPs’) of 1p each whichare traded on the London Stock Exchange, both separately andin the form of Units (each comprising two Ordinary shares andone ZDP),

Ordinary shares

Investment Characteristics The Ordinary shares are designed to provide a regularquarterly income, together with the potential for capitalgrowth. Ordinary shareholders should note that the Ordinaryshares are considered to carry above-average risk.

Entitlements Ordinary shareholders are entitled to all dividends paid by theCompany and, on a winding-up, to all of the Company’s netsurplus assets (including any growth in their value) after anyindebtedness has been repaid and the prior entitlement of theholders of ZDPs has been met in full.

Voting Rights Ordinary shareholders have the right to vote at generalmeetings and, on a poll, to one vote for each Ordinary shareheld.

Zero Dividend Preference shares

Investment Characteristics The ZDPs are designed to provide a pre-determined, but notguaranteed, capital entitlement ranking in priority to theOrdinary shares. Because of their prior capital entitlementand pre-determined growth, they are considered to carrybelow-average risk.

Entitlements The ZDPs are not entitled to any dividends and are designed toprovide a predetermined Final Capital Entitlement payable on

the ZDP Repayment Date which ranks behind the Company’screditors, but in priority to the Ordinary shares (except for anyrevenue profits). The final Capital Entitlement per ZDP Sharedue on the ZDP Repayment Date equates to an annual returnof 6.75% per annum compound on their issue price of 100p.

Voting Rights Holders of ZDPs will be entitled to attend and vote at allgeneral meetings of the Company and, on a poll, to one votefor each ZDP held. Holders of ZDPs will not, however, beentitled to vote on resolutions relating to the payment ofdividends to Ordinary shareholders out of the revenue profitsof the Company.

Units The Units each consist of two Ordinary shares and one ZDP.

Investment Characteristics The Units are designed to provide a regular quarterly incometogether with the potential for capital growth. The income yieldprovided by the Units is lower than that provided by theOrdinary shares, but the inclusion of the ZDP in each Unitmeans that the capital risk is also lower. Unitholders shouldnote therefore, that the Units are considered to carry less riskthan the Ordinary shares but more risk than the ZDPs.

Entitlements and Voting Rights Unitholders have the same entitlements and voting rights as ifthey held separately the Ordinary shares and ZDPs comprisedin their Units. In addition, they will be entitled in respect of thecomponent shares comprised in their Units to vote at classmeetings of both the Ordinary shareholders and ZDPshareholders convened to consider certain proposals whichwould be likely to affect their position.
