TP10 VCT plc ("the Company") is a Venture Capital Trust ("VCT"). The Investment Manager is Triple Point Investment Management LLP. The Company was launched in November 2009 and raised GBP28.6 million (net of expenses) through an offer for subscription which closed on 31 May 2010.

Unaudited Interim Financial Report - Chairman's Statement

I am writing to you to present the unaudited Interim Financial Report for TP10 VCT plc ("the Company") for the 6 months ended 31 August 2013.

Portfolio Construction

We are pleased to report that the Company's funds are 99% invested, in a portfolio of qualifying and non-qualifying unquoted investments. The qualifying investments include companies which generate renewable electricity from roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels (investments which will benefit from long-term, index linked revenues) and companies which provide cinema digitisation. These investments were selected for their ability to yield high quality, predictable cash flows.

The Company's portfolio of qualifying investments accounts for 86% of its net assets, thus maintaining its VCT qualifying status by satisfying the test of being at least 70% invested in VCT qualifying investments.

More information on the Company's investment portfolio is given in the Investment Manager's Review.

Dividends

On 12 July 2013 the Company paid its second dividend to shareholders of GBP1 million equal to 3.31p per share. This takes the total paid by way of dividends to shareholders to 6.62p per share.

Net Asset Value

With the portfolio established, loan interest from the investments has exceeded running costs and the Company made a profit of 0.28p per share for the period. At 31 August 2013 the Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share stood at 86.32p per share. Taken together with the dividend of 3.31p per share paid during the period this gives a NAV per share equivalent to 89.63p per share.

Principal Risks

The Board believes that the principal risks facing the Company are:

   --      investment risk associated with the VCT's portfolio of unquoted investments; 
   --      failure to maintain approval as a qualifying VCT. 

The Board believes these risks are manageable and, with the Investment Manager, continues to work to minimise either the likelihood or potential impact of these risks within the scope of the Company's established investment strategy.

Outlook

The Board is pleased that the Company continues to maintain a diversified portfolio of stable investments, which are designed to provide the Company with the returns it seeks for its shareholders.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to telephone Triple Point Investment Management LLP on 020 7201 8989.

Unaudited Interim Financial Report - Investment Manager's Review

At 31 August 2013, qualifying investments represented 86% of net assets, ensuring that the Company continues to satisfy the requirement to be 70% invested in qualifying investments.

The overall portfolio comprises investments in 26 small, unquoted companies which operate in four sectors: cinema digitisation; hydro project management; renewable electricity generation from solar PV, anaerobic digestion and landfill gas; and SME lending.

Each of these investments meets Triple Point's investment criteria, with projected revenues generated by businesses with good quality customers and the potential for steady returns. Investments in each sector have been made with the benefit of rigorous selection criteria, including extensive due diligence and expert technical assessment and are subject to continuous stringent review.

Sector Analysis

The unquoted investment portfolio can be analysed as follows:

VCT Sector Review

Solar PV

The Company's investment portfolio includes 13 holdings in businesses generating renewable electricity from residential solar PV panels. The solar businesses derive their revenues from the receipt of index-linked Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs). The performance of each of these businesses is closely monitored by Triple Point. We are pleased to report that the solar investment portfolio continues to perform in line with expectations.

Cinema Digitisation

The businesses in the portfolio that own, maintain and operate digital equipment in cinemas in the UK, Germany, Austria, Italy and Ireland continue to perform in line with their objectives. Digital cinema projection conversion is paid for under the globally recognised Virtual Print Fee model, through which film studios pay for the cost of the deployment over a number of years. The majority of the revenues come from the six major investment grade Hollywood Studios. Film booking rates are significantly ahead of base line projections.

Anaerobic Digestion

Funds are invested in two renewable energy generating companies which both operate 1 MW anaerobic digestion plants. The plants use agricultural feed stocks to generate electricity for sale to a utility company. The electricity generation also attracts Feed-in Tariffs which provide RPI linked revenues for a 20 year period from commissioning. The high rainfall and resultant poor maize harvest in 2012 contributed to underperformance of the plants over the last year. Recent indicators are that this year's harvest will be significantly better.

The Company is withdrawing from its investment in Drumnahare Biogas Limited as its Anaerobic Digestion project did not proceed.

Landfill Gas

The Company was able to take advantage of the opportunity to fund businesses seeking to generate renewable electricity from landfill gas from sites owned by public bodies in Northern Ireland, which gives access to long term, reliable cash flows generated from strong counterparties through Government enshrined legislation (ROCs), the sale of electricity to a utility company and the potential for sale of electricity to local authorities. Craigahulliar Energy Ltd's plant started to generate electricity for export to the National Grid in December 2012 and Aeris Power Ltd's first project is under construction.

Hydro Project Management

Highland Hydro Services Limited manages the planning and environmental impact studies for a portfolio of new small scale hydro electric power installations in the Scottish Highlands. All applications are proceeding according to plan with the first scheme having received planning consent in February and the second in March 2013.

SME Lending

The Company has a GBP3.3 million investment in Broadpoint Limited, a finance company which provides short and medium term funding to businesses in the telecoms, finance, cinema and renewable energy sectors.

Outlook

We continue to work closely with all the management teams of all the portfolio businesses to ensure that that they continue to meet the Company's investment strategy and objectives for shareholders.
