INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO BLACKROCK THROGMORTON TRUST PLC

INTRODUCTION
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial
statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 31 May
2017 which comprises the Statement of comprehensive income, Statement of
changes in equity, Statement of financial position, Cash flow statement,
Reconciliation of net profit before taxation to net cash flow from operating
activities and the related notes 1 to 14. We have read the other information
contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it
contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance
contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and
Ireland) “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Auditing Practices Board.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for this
report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The half yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been
approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the
half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Company are
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The
condensed set of financial statements included in this half yearly financial
report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard
34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the European Union.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our
review.

SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 31 May 2017 is not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as
adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the
United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.
