ICG-Longbow Senior Secured UK Property Debt Investments Limited 
 
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 
 
For the six month period to 31 July 2017 
 
1.      General information 
 
ICG-Longbow Senior Secured UK Property Debt Investments Limited is a
non-cellular company limited by shares and was incorporated in Guernsey under
the Companies Law on 29 November 2012 with registered number 55917 as a
closed-ended investment company. The registered office and principal place of
business of the Company is Heritage Hall, PO Box 225, Le Marchant Street, St
Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 4HY, Channel Islands. 
 
The Company's shares were admitted to the Premium Segment of the Official
Lists and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 5
February 2013. 
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the
financial statements of the Group as at 31 July 2017. 
 
The investment objective of the Group, as approved by the shareholders of the
Company, is to construct a portfolio of UK real estate debt related
investments predominantly comprising loans secured by first ranking fixed
charges against commercial property investments, with the aim of providing
shareholders with attractive quarterly returns, capital preservation and, over
the longer term, a degree of capital appreciation. 
 
The Investment Adviser, which trades under the name of ICG-Longbow, is
authorised and regulated by the FCA. The assets of the Group are managed by
the Board under the advice of the Investment Adviser under the terms of the
Investment Advisory Agreement. 
 
2.        Accounting policies 
 
a)     Basis of preparation 
 
The Interim Financial Statements included in this Interim Report, have been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted
by the EU, and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the FCA. 
 
The Interim Financial Statements have not been audited or reviewed by the
Company's Auditor. 
 
The Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information and
disclosures required in the Annual Report and Financial Statements and should
be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report and Financial
Statements for the year ended 31 January 2017, which are available on the
Company's website (www.lbow.co.uk). The Annual Report and Financial Statements
have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. 
 
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in
the preparation of these Interim Financial Statements as in the Annual Report
and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2017. 
 
b)    Going concern 
 
The Directors, at the time of approving the Interim Financial Statements, have
a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future and do not consider there to
be any threat to the going concern status of the Group. 
 
The Group is now fully invested with a total loan portfolio representing
92.35% of the net capital raised and expects that the loan portfolio will
generate enough cash flows to pay on-going expenses and returns to
shareholders. The Directors have considered the cash position and performances
of current investments made by the Group and have concluded that it is
appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the
Interim Financial Statements. 
 
The first continuation vote was held on 1 March 2017 and passed by the
shareholders. The requirement for subsequent annual continuation votes has
been amended so that any follow-on continuation resolutions shall be put to
shareholders every five years and the Directors shall propose an ordinary
resolution that the Company continues its business as a closed-ended
collective investment scheme. 
 
c)    Segmental reporting 
 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal
reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating
decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of
Directors, as a whole. The key measure of performance used by the Board to
assess the Company's performance and to allocate resources is the total return
on the Group's Net Asset Value, as calculated under IFRS, and therefore no
reconciliation is required between the measure of profit or loss used by the
Board and that contained in the Interim Financial Statements. 
 
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating
segment, being the provision of a diversified portfolio of UK commercial
property backed senior debt investments. 
 
The majority of the Group's income is derived from loans secured on commercial
and residential property in the United Kingdom. 
 
The Directors do not analyse the portfolio based on geographical segments on
the basis that all of the Group's non-current assets are invested in the
United Kingdom. 
 
Due to the Group's nature, it has no employees. 
 
3.         Seasonal and cyclical variations 
 
The Group's results do not vary significantly during reporting periods as a
result of seasonal activity. 
 
4.    Critical accounting judgements in applying the Group's accounting
policies 
 
The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements under IFRS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income
and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period
of the revision and future period if the revision affects both current and
future periods. 
 
Impairment is considered to be the most critical accounting judgement and
estimate that the Directors make in the process of applying the Group's
policies and which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised
in the Interim Financial Statements (see note 5). 
 
Revenue recognition is considered a significant accounting judgement and
estimate that the Directors make in the process of applying the Group's
accounting policies. 
 
The Directors consider judgements and estimations in determining the fair
value of prepayment options embedded within the contracts for loans advanced.
The key factors considered in the valuation of prepayment options include the
exercise price, the interest rate of the host loan contract, differential to
current market interest rates, the risk free rate of interest, contractual
terms of the prepayment option, and the expected term of the option.

The Directors consider that the carrying value amounts of the loans, recorded
at amortised cost in the Interim Financial Statements, are approximately equal
to their fair value. No element of the loans is past due or impaired. 
 
Amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest rate method, which
takes into account all contractual terms (including arrangement and exit fees)
that are an integral part of the loan agreement. As these fees are taken into
account when determining initial net carrying value, their recognition in
profit or loss is effectively spread over the life of the loan. 
 
The Group's investments are in the form of bilateral loans, and as such are
illiquid investments with no readily available secondary market. Whilst the
terms of each loan includes repayment and prepayment fees, in the absence of a
liquid secondary market, the Directors do not believe a willing buyer would
pay a premium to the par value of the loans to recognise such terms and as
such the amortised cost represents the fair value of the loans. 
 
Each property on which investments are secured was subject to an independent,
third party valuation at the time the investment was entered into. All
investments are made on a hold to maturity basis. Each investment is monitored
on a quarterly basis, in line with the underlying property rental cycle,
including a review of the performance of the underlying property security. No
market or other events have been identified through this review process, which
would result in a fair value of the investments significantly different to the
carrying value. 
 
Whilst the loans are performing and the balance outstanding in each case is at
a substantial discount to the value of the underlying real estate on which
they are secured, the Directors do not consider the loans to be impaired, or
for there to be a risk of not achieving full recovery. 
 
On 27 March 2017, the Group received a repayment of £10,000,000 on the Lanos
loan. As part of this repayment, the Group received a total of £1,120,203 in
interest and exit and prepayment fees in accordance with the terms of the loan
agreement. 
 
On 27 March 2017 the Group advanced £500,000 and on 2 May 2017 advanced a
further £600,000 on the Northlands loan. The increase is on substantially the
same terms and conditions as the existing loan. 
 
On 10 May 2017, the Group received a partial repayment of £206,273 on the BMO
loan.

cautionary statement 
 
The Chairman's Statement and Investment Adviser's Report have been prepared
solely to provide additional information for shareholders to assess the
Company's strategies and the potential for those strategies to succeed. These
should not be relied on by any other party or for any other purpose. 
 
The Chairman's Statement and Investment Adviser's Report may include
statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements".
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates",
"anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will" or "should" or, in each
case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. 
 
These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical
facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this document and include
statements regarding the intentions, beliefs or current expectations of the
Directors and the Investment Adviser, concerning, amongst other things, the
investment objectives and investment policy, financing strategies, investment
performance, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects,
and distribution policy of the Company and the markets in which it invests. 
 
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not
occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance. 
 
The Company's actual investment performance, results of operations, financial
condition, liquidity, distribution policy and the development of its financing
strategies may differ materially from the impression created by the
forward-looking statements contained in this document. 
 
Subject to their legal and regulatory obligations, the Directors and the
Investment Adviser expressly disclaim any obligations to update or revise any
forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in
expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any statement is based.
