 1   GENERAL INFORMATION ICG Enterprise Trust plc ("the Company") is registered in England and Wales and domiciled in England. The registered office is Juxon House, 100 St Paul's Churchyard, London EC4M 8BU. The Company's objective is to provide shareholders with long term capital growth through investment in unquoted companies, mostly through private equity funds but also directly. This report was approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 September 2016.  2   UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT This financial 
 report does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.  Statutory accounts for the year to 31 January 2016 were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 April 2016 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies.  The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. This financial report has not been audited.  3      
 BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial report for the six months ended 31 July 2016, comprising the interim financial statements, has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted by the European Union. This financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year to 31 January 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the 
 European Union. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year to 31 January 2016, as described in those annual financial statements. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings. In order to reflect the activities of an investment trust company, supplementary information which analyses the income statement between items of a revenue and capital nature has been      
 presented alongside the income statement. In analysing total income between capital and revenue returns, the directors have followed the guidance contained in the Statement of Recommended Practice for investment trusts issued by the Association of Investment Companies in November 2014. INVESTMENTS All investments are designated upon initial recognition as held at fair value through profit or loss (described in these financial statements as investments held at fair value) and are measured at subsequent      
 reporting dates at fair value. Changes in the value of all investments held at fair value, which include returns on those investments such as dividends and interest, are recognised in the income statement and are allocated to the revenue column or the capital column in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for investment trusts issued by the Association of Investment Companies in November 2014. UNQUOTED INVESTMENTS Fair value for unquoted investments is established by using various valuation 
 techniques. Funds and co-investments are valued at the underlying investment manager's valuation where this is consistent with the requirement to use fair value.  Where this is not the case adjustments are made or alternative methods are used as appropriate. The most common reason for adjustments is to take account of events occurring after the date of the manager's valuation, such as realisations. The fair value of direct unquoted investments is calculated in accordance with the 2015 International Private 
 Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines. The primary valuation methodology used is an earnings multiple methodology, with other methodologies used where they are more appropriate. QUOTED INVESTMENTS Quoted investments are held at the last traded bid price on the balance sheet date. When a purchase or sale is made under contract, the terms of which require delivery within the timeframe of the relevant market, the contract is reflected on the trade date. SUBSIDIARY INVESTMENTS Subsidiary investments  
 represents the fair value of the Company's interests in its limited partnership subsidiaries: ICG Enterprise Trust Limited Partnership, ICG Enterprise Trust (2) Limited Partnership and ICG Enterprise Trust Co-investment LP.  CURRENT ASSET INVESTMENTS HELD AT FAIR VALUE Current asset investments may include investments in fixed income funds or instruments. These are valued based on the redemption price as at the balance sheet date, which is based on the value of the underlying investments. ASSOCIATES        
 Investments which fall within the definition of an associate under IAS 28 (Investments in associates) are accounted for as investments held at fair value through profit or loss, as permitted by that standard.  4  RECEIVABLES The Company has access to committed bank facilities, which are undrawn. The set up costs in relation to these were capitalised and are recognised over the lives of the facilities on a straight line basis. At 31 July 2016, £668,900 of bank facility costs are included within receivables.

 value measurements of financial instruments categorised according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy: • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1). • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2). • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is,            
 unobservable inputs) (level 3). All private equity and quoted investments are valued at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13.   The Company's unquoted investments are all classified as Level 3 investments.  Fair value for unquoted investments is established by using various valuation techniques.  Funds ("indirect investments") are valued at the underlying investment manager's valuation where this is consistent with the requirement to use fair value. Where this is not the case adjustments are made or       
 alternative methods are used as appropriate. The most common reason for adjustments is to take account of events occurring after the date of the manager's valuation, such as realisations.  The fair value of direct unquoted investments is calculated in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation ("IPEV") Guidelines issued in 2015. The primary valuation methodology used is an earnings multiple methodology, with other methodologies used where they are more appropriate.  The  
 fair value of the Company's unquoted investments is sensitive to changes in the assumed earnings multiples. An increase in the earnings multiple would lead to an increase in the fair value of the investment portfolio and a decrease in the earnings multiple would lead to a decrease in the fair value. The realised and unrealised gains and losses have been recognised in Income, gains and losses on investments in the Income Statement. The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments for the six  
 months to 31 July 2016.

Amounts owed by subsidiaries represent funding provided by the Company to its
subsidiaries to allow them to make investments.  The balances will be repaid
out of proceeds from their portfolios. 
 
The value of subsidiary investments is shown net of an accrual for the
interests of the Co-investors in the co-investment incentive scheme. As at 31
July 2016, £15,579,000 (31 January 2016: £11,939,000) was accrued in respect
of these interests. During the six months to 31 July 2016, the Co-investors
invested £63,000 and received payments of £882,000. 
 
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT AND STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES 
 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties 
 
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company for the second half
of the financial year are substantially the same as those disclosed in the
Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 January 2016. 
 
Going Concern 
 
The factors likely to affect the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern were set out in the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 January
2016.  As at 31 July 2016, there have been no significant changes to these
factors.  Having reviewed the Company's forecasts and other relevant evidence,
the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 
Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
half-yearly financial statements. 
 
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities 
 
The directors confirm that the interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and that the
business review includes a fair review of the information required by DTR
4.2.7 and DTR 4.2.8, namely: 
 
-       an indication of important events that have occurred during the first
six months of the financial year and their impact on the interim financial
statements, and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the
remaining six months of the financial year; and 
 
-       material related-party transactions in the first six months of the
financial year and any material changes in the related-party transactions
described in the last annual report.

Glossary 
 
Alternative Performance Measure ("APM")
APMs are a term defined by the European Securities and Markets Authority as
"financial measures of historical or future performance, financial position,
or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the
applicable financial reporting framework". 
 
APMs are used in this report if considered by the Board and the Manager to be
the most relevant basis for shareholders in assessing the overall performance
of the Company and for comparing the performance of the Company to its peers,
taking into account industry practice. Definitions and reconciliations to IFRS
measures are provided in the main body of the report or in this Glossary,
where appropriate. 
 
Co-investment incentive scheme accrual
The co-investment incentive scheme accrual represents the estimated value of
interests in the co-investment incentive scheme operated by the Company. At
both 31 July 2016 and 31 January 2016, the accrual was estimated as the
theoretical value of the interests if the Portfolio had been sold at its
carrying value at those dates. The annual report for the year ended 31 January
2016 includes further details regarding the operation of the co-investment
incentive scheme. 
 
Drawdowns
Amounts invested by the Company into funds when called by underlying managers
in respect of an existing commitment. 
 
EBITDA
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation, which is a widely used valuation measure in the private equity
industry. 
 
Enterprise value
The aggregate value of a company's entire issued share capital and net debt. 
 
Full realisations
Exit events (e.g. trade sale, sale by public offering, or sale to a financial
buyer) following which the residual exposure to an underlying company is zero
or immaterial. 
 
Funds in investment period
Funds in investment period are those funds which are able to make new
investments under the terms of their fund agreements, usually up to five years
after the initial commitment. 
 
Net debt 
 
Net debt is calculated as the total short term and long term debt in a
business, less cash and cash equivalents. 
 
Overcommitment
In order to achieve full or near full investment, it is usual for
fund-of-funds to make commitments exceeding the amount of cash immediately
available for investment. This is described as "overcommitment". When
determining the appropriate level of overcommitment, careful consideration
needs to be given to the rate at which commitments might be drawn down, and
the rate at which realisations will generate cash from the existing portfolio
to fund new investment. 
 
Portfolio
Throughout the Chairman's Statement, Manager's Review and Supplementary
Information, reference is made to the "Portfolio", which represents the
aggregate of the investment portfolios of the Company and of its subsidiary
limited partnerships. This is consistent with the commentary in previous
annual and interim reports. The Board and the Manager consider that this is
the most relevant basis for shareholders in assessing the overall performance
of the Company and for comparison with its peers. 
 
The closest equivalent amount reported on the balance sheet is "investments at
fair value". A reconciliation of these two measures at 31 July 2016 and at 31
January 2016 is presented below.

Post-crisis investments 
 
Post-crisis investments are defined as those completed in 2009 or later. 
 
Pre-crisis investments 
 
Pre-crisis investments are defined as those completed in 2008 or before, based
on the date the original deal was completed, which may differ from when the
Company invested if acquired through a secondary. 
 
Realisation proceeds
Amounts received by the Company in respect of the Portfolio, which may be in
the form of capital proceeds or income such as interest or dividends. 
 
Total return
Total Return is a performance measure that assumes the notional re-investment
of dividends. This is a measure commonly used by the listed private equity
sector and listed companies in general. In this report: 
 
-       net asset value per share Total Return is calculated as the change in
the Company's net asset value per share, assuming that dividends are
re-invested at the end of the quarter in which the dividend was paid; 
 
-       share price Total Return is calculated as the change in the Company's
share price, assuming that dividends are re-invested on the day that they are
paid; and 
 
-       FTSE All-Share Index Total return is calculated as the change in the
level of the Index, assuming that dividends are re-invested on the day that
they are paid. 
 
The tables below set out the share price and the net asset value per share
growth figures for periods of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years to the balance sheet date,
on both an unadjusted basis (i.e. without dividends re-invested) and on a
Total Return basis.

*As the Company changed its year end in 2010, the ten year figures are for the
121 month period to 31 July 2016. 
 
Underlying valuation movement 
 
The change in the valuation of the Company's Portfolio, before the effect of
currency movements. 
 
Undrawn commitments 
 
Undrawn commitments are commitments that have not yet been drawn down (see
definition of drawdowns). 
 
Uplift on exit 
 
Uplift on exit represents the increase in gross value relative to the
underlying manager's most recent valuation prior to the announcement of the
disposal. Excludes a small number of investments that were public throughout
the life of the investment. May differ from uplift in the reporting period in
certain instances.
