NB Distressed Debt Investment Fund Limited

For the six months ended 30 June 2015

Company Overview

The investment objective of NB Distressed Debt Investment Fund Limited and its subsidiaries (together the ''Company'') is to provide investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns through long-biased, opportunistic stressed, distressed and special situation credit-related investments while seeking to limit downside risk by, amongst other things, focusing on senior and senior secured debt with both collateral and structural protection. The Company consists of three different share classes, with different capital return profiles and in some instances different geographical remits.

The Ordinary Share Class ("NBDD") and the Extended Life Share Class ("NBDX") have been returning capital and capital profits respectively. The table below provides a breakout of all of the capital returned to investors by class since this process began, including those recently announced.

On 3 March 2014, the Company announced that it had raised gross proceeds of approximately 111 million through the creation of a New Global Share Class ("NBDG"). 110,785,785 New Global Shares were admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Market and the Official List of the Channel Islands Securities Exchange on 4 March 2014 under ISIN GG00BH7JH183.

NBDG has the remit to invest in the global distressed market with a focus on Europe and North America where the Manager has seen a growing pipeline of opportunities. The creation of NBDG has not impacted the structure or strategy of the existing NBDD and NBDX.

The portfolio is managed by the Chicago-based Distressed Debt team at Neuberger Berman, which sits within one of the largest and most experienced credit teams in the industry. Investment management services are provided to the Company by Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC, as the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager and Neuberger Berman Europe Limited, as the Company's Manager.

Chairman's Statement

Portfolio and Company Performance

Notwithstanding a difficult environment, as evidenced by the decline in net asset value (as further described below), the Company exited five investments during the first six months of 2015 which generated total returns of $9.3 million over the life of the investments. This continues a trend that has existed since the launch of the Company and has seen 34 exits, of which 33 have been at a profit and one at a modest loss. In addition to these exits, the Company receives distributions from some investment positions, primarily in real estate, which are being sold off in a planned manner over time. These long-term exits are progressing satisfactorily and will be reported as exits once the investments have concluded.

As at June 30 2015 the net assets value of the Company was $580 million, showing a decline $63 million from 31 December 2014, in part reflecting distributions to shareholders as well as the impact of share buybacks.

During the period to 30 June 2015, the Company distributed a further $30 million to investors in the Ordinary ("NBDD") and Extended Life ("NBDX") share classes, bringing the total returned since launch to $116 million. Since the period ending 30 June 2015, we were pleased to be able to announce further distributions of $7.0 million for NBDD and $17.50 million for NBDX. Please see Note 11 Subsequent Events, for further details.

The weakness in the price of the Company's shares offered opportunities for buy backs and, after consulting with the Company's portfolio managers, your Board spent just over $1.3 million repurchasing shares. While such buybacks are accretive to net asset value, your Board only intends to undertake such transactions when it believes that share price discounts have become excessive. The authority to buy back shares was renewed at the recent AGM and your Board will continue to keep the situation under review; further repurchases have taken place since the period end and are set out in Notes 1 and 11.

Turning to the individual classes:-

The NBDD class was diversified across 13 industries in 27 companies, with no single investment representing more than 11% of the class's total assets. Exits during the period for this class generated total returns of $2 million over the life of the investments. The net asset value decreased 2.80% from $1.2521 to $1.2170 per share.

NBDX was similarly diversified across 13 industries in 47 companies with no single investment representing more than 7% of the class's total assets. Exits during the period for this class generated $6.1 million of total returns over the life of the investments. The class saw a similar decline in net asset value of 4.53% from $1.1909 to $1.1369 per share. Based on trade date, 592,000 shares were repurchased during the period for a total consideration, including brokerage, of $661,325. The investment period for this Class expired on 31 March 2015 and proceeds from realisations will now be distributed periodically, subject to retaining appropriate amounts for working capital purposes.

And finally the Global Share class ("NBDG"), which has since the period end passed the 85% invested mark, held investments spread across 11 industries in 28 companies with no single investment representing more than 6% of the class's total assets. Exits during this period for this class generated 0.8 million of total returns over the life of the investments. This class saw a greater decline in net asset value, 8.30%, from 0.8860 to 0.8125 per share, reflecting in part the strength of Sterling against the US Dollar. Based on trade date buy backs of NBDG shares in the period totalled 550,000 at a cost of 421,125

Outlook

With the investment periods of NBDD and NBDX concluded, the Company will continue to manage these classes' assets and return capital to shareholders. In the case of NBDG, we look forward to reaching full deployment of shareholders' cash in the coming months. Distressed debt opportunities remain attractive in the sectors which we favour, namely real estate, transportation and energy debt.The recent volatility of energy markets in the US, though challenging, offers fresh possibilities.The European bank sector looks especially attractive to our investment team. EU banks' disposal of Euro and US dollar loans could reach a run-rate of 100bn this year, and over 1trn of non-performing loans are estimated to remain on their balance sheets.

Robin Monro-Davies

Chairman

Alternative Investment Fund Manager's Report

Market Update¹

We continue to believe the pipeline of distressed debt opportunities in real estate, transportation and energy debt is compelling. The recent volatility in energy markets continues to present new opportunities in the U.S. as the effect of lower energy prices is reflected in the global economy. Additionally, the overall decline in commodity prices could contribute to new opportunities in the distressed market as certain industries that are linked to commodity prices struggle.

EU banks increased their disposal of European and U.S. loans and assets to 91 billion in 2014, versus 64 billion in 2013, 46 billion in 2012, 36 billion in 2011 and 11 billion in 2010. 59 billion of debt sales have completed or were in progress in the first three months of 2015, on a run-rate to exceed 100 billion for the full year. However, over 1 trillion of non-performing loans remain on EU banks' balance sheets. We believe that the European regulatory environment may continue to facilitate further recognition and disposal of distressed loans.

Ordinary Share Class Portfolio ("NBDD")

Summary

We remain satisfied with the portfolio's investments to date. Given the volatility of the distressed debt markets in 2015 to date, we were gratified to protect our investors' capital while exiting two positions that contributed positively to NAV. The Company has announced its intention to make a third capital distribution to shareholders in the third quarter of 2015. We continue to see significant upside potential in the existing portfolio, which we expect to realise as we restructure and exit investments.

Portfolio Update

As at 30 June 2015, 94.5% of NBDD's NAV was invested in distressed assets. Unrestricted cash ended the period at 5.5% of NAV. NBDD's NAV per share decreased 2.8% in the first six months of the year, to $1.2170 from $1.2521 per share. We believe that performance comparison versus other distressed debt managers is indicated by the HFRI Distressed/Restructuring Index² which returned 0.5% in the first half of the year.

Performance in the distressed debt market during the first half of the year was challenging from a mark-to-market perspective. For example, the Credit Suisse and BAML distressed high yield indices^3,4declined 14.1% and 4.4%, respectively, during the first half of the year. In our experience, times of market volatility and reduced liquidity can result in wider bid/ask spreads and can drive mark-to-market declines. We believe this dynamic has been intensified by a reduction in capital dedicated to market making activities by investment banks as a result of regulations brought in after the financial crisis.

Despite the mark-to-market volatility, we continue to actively manage the restructurings in our portfolio in order to generate profitable realisations through significant events (asset sale, legal outcome, foreclosure, etc.). We remain enthusiastic about the investments in the portfolio and expect to generate significant returns from current marks.

Exits

During the first quarter, we saw our 28^th and 29^th exit for NBDD since inception. While there were no exits for NBDD in the second quarter, we did receive distributions from multiple investments that were in the process of being wound down.

Capital Return

In August 2015, the Board of the Company resolved to return $7.0 million (equivalent to approximately $0.1143 per share) to holders of NBDD shares by way of a compulsory partial redemption of NBDD shares in the third quarter of 2015. To date, approximately $78.5 million has been distributed to shareholders and the above amount would bring the total amount distributed to $85.5 million since the realization phase for this share class or 69% of investors' original capital.

Extended Life Share Class Portfolio ("NBDX")

Summary

We remain satisfied with the portfolio's performance to date. Given the volatility of the distressed debt markets in 2015 to date, we were gratified to protect our investors' capital whilst at the same time deploying the portfolio in attractive debt backed by hard assets. In the first quarter we exited five positions, which contributed positively to NBDX's NAV. Prior to the expiry of the investment period, distributions were made to reflect capital profits only arising from the exit of any assets attributable to the Extended Life Shares, with a total of $38 million in distributions made in 2014 and 2015.

On March 31, 2015, the Investment Period of NBDX expired. The assets of NBDX were put into run-off following such expiration. The net proceeds from the realization of such assets will be distributed to the NBDX Shareholders in such times and in such amounts as determined by the Board of Directors. The first such distribution after the expiry of the investment period is scheduled to be made in the third quarter of 2015. We continue to see significant upside potential in the existing portfolio, which we expect to realise as we restructure and exit investments.

Portfolio Update

As at 30 June 2015, 96.6% of NBDX's NAV was invested in distressed assets. Unrestricted cash ended the period at 3.4% of NAV. NBDX's NAV per share decreased 4.5% in the first half of 2015, to $1.1369 per share from $1.1909 per share. The primary drivers of NBDX's NAV decrease were secondary market price declines of positions. We believe that performance comparison versus other distressed debt managers is indicated by the HFRI Distressed/Restructuring Index²which returned 0.5% in the first half of the year.

Performance in the distressed debt market during the first six months of the year was challenging from a mark-to-market perspective. For example, the Credit Suisse and BAML distressed high yield indices ^3,4declined 14.1% and 4.4%, respectively, during the first half of the year. In our experience, times of market volatility and reduced liquidity can result in wider bid/ask spreads and can drive mark-to-market declines. We believe this dynamic has been intensified by a reduction in capital dedicated to market making activities by investment banks as a result of regulations brought in after the financial crisis.

Exits

During the first quarter we saw our 28^th, 29^th, 30^th, 31^st and 32^nd exits since inception. During the second quarter there were no new exits, although NBDX did receive distributions from multiple investments that were in the process of being wound down.

Capital Return

In August 2015, the Board of the Company resolved to return $17.5 million (equivalent to approximately $0.0547 per share) to holders of NBDX shares by way of a compulsory partial redemption of NBDX shares. To date, approximately $37.9 million has been distributed to shareholders and the above amount would bring the total amount distributed to $55.4 million for this share class or 15% of investors' original capital.

New Global Share Class Portfolio ("NBDG")

Summary

We remain satisfied with the portfolio's performance to date. Despite a challenging environment in the distressed markets, we continue to seek attractive debt backed by hard assets and actively manage restructurings in the portfolio. We continue to see significant upside potential in the existing portfolio, which we expect to realise as we restructure and exit investments.

Portfolio Update

As at 30 June 2015, 86.3% of NBDG's NAV was invested in distressed assets. NBDG has investments in 28 names across 11 industries. The largest sector concentrations were in lodging & casinos, utilities, shipping, and oil & gas. In the first quarter we added new positions in the oil & gas and air transportation sectors. We also added incremental exposure to existing names in the shipping, oil & gas, power, casino and metals sectors. In the second quarter we added new positions in the oil & gas sector and added incremental exposure to industrial, shipping and oil & gas sectors.

NBDG's NAV per share decreased 8.3% in the first six months of 2015, to 81.25 pence from 88.60 pence. We want to highlight as stated in the NBDG prospectus, NBDG is a Pound Sterling denominated fund and there is no currency hedging for NBDG. During the first half of 2015, foreign exchange volatility was significant and over 50% of the decline in NAV was due to changes in foreign exchange rates in the period. We believe that performance comparison versus other distressed managers is indicated by the HFRI Distressed/Restructuring Index² which returned 0.5% in the first half of 2015.

Performance in the distressed debt market during the first six months of the year was challenging from a mark-to-market perspective. For example, the Credit Suisse and BAML distressed high yield indices ^3,4 declined 14.1% and 4.4%, respectively, during the first half of the year. In our experience, times of market volatility and reduced liquidity can result in wider bid/ask spreads and can drive mark-to-market declines. We believe this dynamic has been intensified by a reduction in capital dedicated to market making activities by investment banks as a result of regulations brought in after the financial crisis.

Despite the mark-to-market volatility, we continue to actively manage the restructurings in our portfolio in order to generate profitable realisations through significant events (asset sale, legal outcome, foreclosure, etc.). We remain positive about the investments in the portfolio and expect to generate significant returns from current marks.

Exits

During the first quarter we saw three exits in NBDG, our 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th since inception. These exits contributed positively to NBDG's NAV. There were no exits during the second quarter.

Independent Review Report to NB Distressed Debt Investment Fund Limited

Introduction

We have been engaged by NB Distressed Debt Investment Fund Limited (the "Company") to review the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements (the "financial statements") of the Company together with its subsidiaries (together the "Group") included in the interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 which comprises the unaudited consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, unaudited consolidated statement of operations, unaudited consolidated statement of changes in net assets, unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows, unaudited consolidated condensed schedule of investments and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated 2 July 2015 to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority ("the UK FCA"). Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Directors' responsibilities

The interim report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

The financial statements included in this interim report have been prepared in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the financial statements in the interim 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 UK. 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 financial statements included in the interim review report for the six month period ended 30 June 2015 do not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2015 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the six month period then ended in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles and the DTR of the UK FCA.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Description of Business

The Company is a closed-ended investment company registered and incorporated in Guernsey under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 ("Companies Law"), on 20 April 2010, with registration number 51774. The Company's shares were admitted to the Specialist Fund Market of the London Stock Exchange (the "SFM") and to the Channel Islands Securities Exchange ("CISE") on 10 June 2010.

The Company's investment objective is to provide investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns through long-biased, opportunistic stressed, distressed and special situation credit-related investments while seeking to limit downside risk.

The Company's share capital is denominated in U.S.Dollars for Ordinary Shares (Ordinary Share and Extended Life Share) and Pound Sterling for New Global Shares.

Distribution Policy

Income

The Company will pay out for each year, in respect of each share class, all net income received on investments of the Company attributable to such share class, as appropriate. It is not anticipated that income on the portfolio will be material and therefore any dividends may be on an ad-hoc basis. It is a requirement of an exception to the United Kingdom offshore fund rules that all income from the Company's portfolio (after deduction of reasonable expenses) is to be paid to investors. This dividend policy should ensure that this requirement will be met. The exact amount of such dividend in respect of any class of Shares will be variable depending on the amounts of income received by the Company attributable to such share class and will only be made available in accordance with applicable law at the relevant time, including the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 ("Companies Law") (and, in particular, will be subject to the Company passing the solvency test contained in the Companies Law at the relevant time). The amount of dividends paid in respect of one class of Shares may be different from that of another class.

Capital

Following the expiry of any investment period the capital proceeds attributable to the corresponding share class (as determined by the Directors in accordance with the Articles), will, at such times and in such amounts as the Directors shall in their absolute discretion determine, be distributed to Shareholders of that class pro rata to their respective holdings of the relevant Shares. The amount and timing of any such return of capital will be solely within the discretion of the Directors to determine.

Any capital return will only be made by the Company in accordance with the articles of incorporation of the Company and applicable law at the relevant time, including the Companies Law (and, in particular, will be subject to the Company passing the solvency test contained in the Companies Law at the relevant time).

Although the Directors intend to return capital to shareholders in such manner so that shareholders who are ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, or who carry on business in the United Kingdom through a branch, agency or permanent establishment with which their investment in the Company is connected, may be liable to United Kingdom tax on chargeable gains on such distributions, they may, at their sole discretion, return capital to shareholders by way of a dividend in circumstances where, in the opinion of the Directors, it would be reasonably practicable to do so.

Buy Backs

At the annual general meeting of the Company held in June 2015, the Directors were granted the general authority to purchase in the market up to 14.99% of the Ordinary, New Global and Extended Life shares in issue (as at 4 June 2015). This authority will expire at the next AGM in 2016. Pursuant to this authority, and subject to the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and the discretion of the Directors, the Company may purchase shares of any of its classes in the market on an on-going basis with a view to addressing any imbalance between the supply of and demand for such shares, thereby increasing the Net Asset Value per share of the shares and assisting in controlling the discount to Net Asset Value per share of the shares in relation to the price at which the shares of such class may be trading.

Under the authority granted to the Directors in the 2014 AGM, between 23 January 2015 and 10 February 2015, 542,000 Extended Life Shares were re-purchased for cancellation by the Company for gross consideration of $608,552.

Under the authority granted to the Directors in the 2015 AGM, as per the settlement date, between 9 June 2015 and 30 June 2015 450,000 New Global Shares were re-purchased by the Company and are currently held in treasury for gross consideration of $543,207.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

Recent Standards and Pronouncements

During 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share", this allowed the use of NAV as a practical expedient to measure fair value when a number of criteria are met. This amendment has an effective date of 15 December 2015 and requires a retrospective application.

The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments whose fair values are measured at NAV (or its equivalent) under the practical expedient in the FASB's fair value measurement guidance. Reporting entities also must disclose the amount of investments measured at NAV (or its equivalent) under the practical expedient to allow users to reconcile total investments in the fair value hierarchy to total investments measured at fair value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The guidance also limits the disclosure requirements that currently apply to all investments eligible to be measured at NAV under the practical expedient to only those in which the practical expedient is applied.

The application of this ASU is currently being reviewed by the Company.

Basis of Preparation

Having reassessed the principle risks, the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements ("the financial statements").The financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and return and are prepared in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") and Companies Law. The Company is regarded as an Investment Company and it follows the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 946. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements therefore present a true and fair financial position. The functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar ("USD").

Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Wholly owned subsidiaries, London Adams LLC, London Dearborn LLC, London Granite Ridge LLC, London Jackson LLC, London Madison LLC, London Mayslake LLC, London Randolph LLC, London Wabash LLC, London Washington LLC, London Tides LLC, London Randolph Holdco LLC, London Washington Holdco LLC, London Jackson Holdco LLC, London Tides Holdco LLC, London Wacker LLC, London Granite Ridge (Global) LLC, London Madison (Global) LLC and London Dearborn (Global) LLC are incorporated in Delaware and operate in the United States.

Wholly owned subsidiaries, London American Homes LP, London Lake Michigan LP, London Lake Michigan (Global) LP, London Lake Erie LP and London Lake Erie (Global) LP are incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

Wholly owned subsidiaries, London Lux Masterco 1 S.a.r.l., London Lux Debtco 1 S.a.r.l. and London Lux Propco 1 S.a.r.l. are incorporated in Luxembourg.

Partially owned subsidiaries NB Distressed Debt Aggregating Inc. and Chicago Aircraft Fund LLC are incorporated in Delaware and operate in the United States.

During the period ended 30 June 2015, no subsidiaries were cancelled. All inter-company balances have been eliminated fully on consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires that the Directors make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Such estimates and associated assumptions are generally based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and form the basis of making the judgements about attributing values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Actual results may vary from such accounting estimates in amounts that may have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Valuation of Investments accounting policy and Note 6 'Fair Valuation of Financial Instruments' discloses further detail on the use of estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Interest earned on debt instruments is accounted for, net of applicable withholding taxes and it is recognised as income over the terms of the loans and bonds. Discounts received or premiums paid in connection with the acquisition of loans and bonds are amortised into interest income using the effective interest method over the contractual life of the related loan and bond. If a loan pays off prior to maturity, the recognition of the fees and costs is accelerated as appropriate. The Company raises a provision when the collection of interest is deemed doubtful.

Payment-in-kind (PIK) interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in the loan agreement for any portion of the interest which may be added to the principal balance of a loan rather than paid in cash by the obligator on the scheduled interest payment date. PIK interest is periodically added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. The Alternative Investment Fund Manager places a receivable on non-accrual status when the collection of principal or interest is deemed doubtful.

Dividend income is recognised on the ex-dividend date.

For the period ended 30 June 2015, $207,643 (30 June 2014: $1,592,585) was recorded to reflect accretion of discount on loans and bonds during the period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company's cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near maturity that they represent insignificant risk of changes in value.

At 30 June 2015, the Company held cash balances in various currencies to the value of $51,169,063 (31 December 2014: $59,305,660). These balances consisted of Sterling: $6,019,700 (31 December 2014: $22,475,305), Euro: $853,439 (31 December 2014: $1,077,408), U.S. Dollar: $43,627,682 (31 December 2014: $31,170,757), and Australian Dollar: $668,242 (31 December 2014: $4,582,190).

Valuation of Investments

The Company carries investments on its Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities at fair value in accordance with US GAAP, with changes in fair value recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Operations in each reporting period. Quoted investments are valued according to their bid price as at the close of the relevant reporting date. Investments in private securities are priced at the bid price using a pricing service for private loans. If a price cannot be ascertained from the above sources, the Company will seek bid prices from third party broker/dealer quotes for the investments. The Alternative Investment Fund Manager believes that bid price is the best estimate of fair value and is in line with the valuation policy adopted by the Company.

In cases where no third party price is available, or where the Alternative Investment Fund Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the investment, the Alternative Investment Fund Manager determines the valuation based on its fair valuation policy.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Consistent with the above criterion, the following criteria are considered when applicable:

Valuation of other securities by the same issuer for which market quotations are available;

Reasons for absence of market quotations;

The soundness of the security, its interest yield, the date of maturity, the credit standing of the issue and the current general interest rates;

Recent sales prices and/or bid and ask quotations for the security;

Value of similar securities of issuers in the same or similar industries for which market quotations are available;

Economic outlook of the industry;

Issuer's position in the industry;

Valuation utilising the net asset valuations provided by the underlying private investment companies/partnerships as a practical expedient;

The financial statements of the issuer; and

The nature and duration of any restriction on disposition of the security.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may, from time to time, hold derivative financial instruments for the purposes of hedging foreign currency exposure. These derivatives are measured at fair value in accordance with US GAAP, with changes in fair value recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Operations in each reporting period.

As part of the Company's investment strategy, the Company enters into over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative contracts which include forward currency contracts and credit default swaps.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies on the reporting date and unrealised gains or losses are recorded daily. Forward contracts are generally categorised in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Credit default swaps are entered into on the OTC market. The fair value for a credit default swap contract is derived by Markit Partners using a pricing model that is widely accepted by marketplace participants. The pricing model takes into account multiple inputs including specific contract terms, interest rate yield curves, interest rates, credit curves, recovery rates, and current credit spreads obtained from swap counterparties and other market participants. Many inputs into the model do not require material subjectivity as they are observable in the marketplace or set per the contract. Other than the contract terms, valuation is heavily determined by the difference between the contract spread and the current market spread. The contract spread (or rate) is generally fixed and the market spread is determined by the credit risk of the underlying debt or reference entity. If the underlying debt is liquid and the OTC market for the current spread is active, credit default swaps are categorised in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If the underlying debt is illiquid and the OTC market for the current spread is not active, credit default swaps would be categorised in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Realised and Unrealised Gains and Losses on Investments

All investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Upon sale or maturity, the difference between the consideration received and the cost of the investment is recognised as a realised gain or loss. The cost is determined based on the average cost method.

All transactions relating to the reorganisation of current investments are recorded at the date of such reorganisation. The difference between the fair value of the new consideration received and the cost of the original investment is recognised as a gain or loss.

Unrealised gains and losses on an investment are the difference between the cost if purchased during the year or fair value at the previous year end and the fair value at the current period end. Unrealised gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are recognised on an accruals basis. Operating expenses include amounts directly or indirectly incurred by the Company as part of its operations.

Each Share Class will bear their respective pro rata share based on their respective NAVs of the ongoing costs and expenses of the Company. Each Share Class will also bear all costs and expenses of the Company determined by the Directors to be attributable solely to it.

Performance Fee

Performance fee amounts (see note 3) are computed and accrued daily in accordance with the terms of the agreements.

Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars are translated into U.S. Dollar equivalents using spot rates as at the period end date. On initial recognition, foreign currency sales and purchases transactions are recorded and translated at the spot exchange rate at the transaction date and for all other transactions the average rate is applied. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historic exchange rate.

The Company does not separate the changes relating to currency exchange rates from those relating to changes in fair value of the investments. These fluctuations are included in the net realised gain and net change in unrealised gain/(loss) on investments, credit default swap and forward currency transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Payables on Investments Purchased

At 30 June 2015, the amount payable on investments purchased represents amounts due for investments purchased that have been contracted for but not settled on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities date.

Issuance/buybacks cost

In line with the Prospectus, the expenses incurred for the initial placing of the Extended Life Share Class in 2013 and the New Global Share Class in 2014 were capped at 2% of the Gross Issue Proceeds. These expenses include placing fees and commissions; registration, listing and admission fees; the cost of settlement and escrow arrangements; printing, advertising and distribution costs; legal fees, and any other applicable expenses incurred in connection with the offering of shares. All such expenses are charged to capital, reducing the issue proceeds received.

Any costs incurred by a share buyback will be charged to that share class.

Income Taxes

The Company is not subject to income taxes in Guernsey; however it may be subject to taxes imposed by other countries on income it derives from investments. Such taxes are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In accordance with US GAAP, Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognised is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realised upon ultimate settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognised could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. This pronouncement also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different entities. There were no uncertain tax positions as at 30 June 2015 or 31 December 2014. The Company is subject to examination for US Federal and state tax returns for calendar years 2011 - 2015.

During the year ended 30 June 2015, the Company recorded current income tax from realised/unrealised gain on investments of $2,614,402 (30 June 2014: $220,424). Deferred taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences of future years' differences between the tax basis of assets and their financial reporting basis. The amount of deferred tax (benefit)/expense for the year ended 30 June 2015 is equal to ($730,895) (31 December 2014: $2,801,740). Total income tax from realised/unrealised gain on investments for the year ended 30 June 2015 was $1,883,507 (30 June 2014: $1,418,974).

Note 3 - Material Agreements and Related Parties

Investment Management Fees

Per the Investment Management Agreement dated 17 July 2014 and in relation to the Ordinary and Extended Life Shares the Manager is entitled to a management fee, which shall accrue daily, and be payable monthly in arrears, at a rate of 0.125 percent per month of the Company's Net Asset Value ("NAV").

Per the Investment Management Agreement dated 17 July 2014 and in relation to the New Global Shares the management fee, which shall accrue daily, and be payable monthly in arrears, at a rate of 0.125 percent per month of the NAV of the New Global Share Class Fund (excluding, until such time as the New Global Share Class Fund is 85 percent invested, any cash balances (or cash equivalents)) calculated as at the last business day of the relevant month. This was achieved on 16 June 2015 and the Company is now being charged 0.125 percent per month on the NAV.

For the period ended 30 June 2015, the management fee expense was $4,460,022 (30 June 2014: $4,380,161). As at 30 June 2015, the manager fee payable was $1,573,681 (31 December 2014: $728,720).

Performance Fees

In addition, the Manager is entitled to a performance fee. The performance fee for Ordinary, Extended Life and New Global Shares (the "Shareholders") will only become payable once the Company has made aggregate distributions in cash to the Shareholders (which shall include the aggregate price of all Shares repurchased or redeemed by the company) equal to the aggregate gross proceeds of issuing Shares (the "Contributed Capital") plus such amounts as will result in the Shareholders having received a realised (cash-paid) IRR in respect of the Contributed Capital equal to Preferred Return, following which there will be a 100 percent catch up to the Manager until the Manager has received 20 percent of all amounts in excess of Contributed Capital distributed to the Shareholders and paid to the Manager as a performance fee with, thereafter, all amounts distributed by the Company 20:80 between the Manager's performance fee and the cash distributed to the Shareholders.

The preferred rate of return for Ordinary Shares is an annualized 6%, Extended Life Shares was an annualized 6% from 2010 to April 2013 and is 8% from April 2013 to date and New Global Shares is an annualized 8%. For the purposes of financial reporting the performance fee is recognised on an accrual basis.

The cumulative performance fee for the Ordinary, Extended Life and New Global Share of $Nil (31 December 2014: $Nil), $Nil (30 June 2014: $Nil), and $Nil (30 June 2014: Nil) respectively would be payable if the Company was to realise all investments at the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities date. For the period ended 30 June 2015, the performance fee expense for the Ordinary, Extended Life and New Global Share was $Nil (30 June 2014: $3,373,219), $Nil (30 June 2014: $Nil), and $Nil (30 June 2014: $Nil) respectively.

The performance fee is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The performance fee outstanding is included in payables to the Manager and affiliates in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 4 - Derivatives

The Company may enter into credit default swap agreements and forward currency contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. As a result of these the Company may be subject to credit and foreign currency risk.

Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs for the referenced entity, obligation or index. A credit event is defined under the terms of each swap agreement and may include, but is not limited to, underlying entity default, bankruptcy, write-down, principal shortfall, or interest shortfall.

The Company may use credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Company owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation). During the period, the Company entered into a single credit default swap agreement to provide a measure of protection against defaults of a sovereign issue.

The Company can be either a seller or buyer of protection when entering into a credit default swap agreement. If the Company is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Company will either receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

Until a credit event occurs, recovery values are determined by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations. Either as a seller of protection or a buyer of protection of a credit default swap agreement, the Company's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the agreement.

In a forward currency contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date.

Purchases and sales of forward currency contracts having the same notional value, settlement date and counterparty are generally offset (which result in a net foreign currency position of zero with the counterparty) and any realised gains or losses are recognised on settlement date. The fair value of forward currency contracts is based on the price at which a new forward foreign currency contract of the same notional value, currency and maturity could be affected at the close of business in the principal currency markets in which these currencies are traded.

Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities is permitted only when:

The parties owe each other determinable amounts

There is a right and intention to set-off

The right of set-off is enforceable by law

Forward exchange contracts are subject to credit and market risk. Forward foreign exchange contracts result in exposure to market risk based on the changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to contracted amounts. As a result, a relatively small foreign currency exchange rates movement may result in substantial losses to the Company. Credit risk is where the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security. Any trading counterparty to a derivative contract might default on their obligations.

The effect of such derivative instruments on the Company's financial position and financial performance as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Operations are presented in the summary below. The below table presents the fair values of derivative instruments:

The notional outstanding as at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 is representative of the exposure over the period/year (or similar).

(i) The counterparties for the forward currency contracts are UBS AG (2, 3, 4 and 6) and Societe Generale (1, 5, 7 and 8).

The Company is subject to enforceable ISDA netting agreements with certain counterparties. These agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying offsetting mechanisms and collateral posting arrangements at prearranged exposure levels.

There were no collateral agreements during the period.

(ii) The counterparty for the credit default swap is Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Note 5 - Unfunded Loan Commitments

As at 30 June 2015, the Company has no unfunded loan commitments.

Note 6 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is defined by ASC 825, Financial Instruments, as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver to or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favourable terms. Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time, based on relevant market data, information about the financial instruments, and other factors.

Fair value was determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Estimates of fair value of financial instruments without quoted market prices are subjective in nature and involve various assumptions and estimates that are matters of judgement.

Accordingly, fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts realised on disposition of financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts.

The following estimates and assumptions were used at 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2014 to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Receivables for investments sold - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value as they reflect the value at which investments are sold to a willing buyer and settlement period on their balances is short term.

Interest receivables & Other receivables and prepayments - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value.

Quoted investments are valued according to their bid price as at the close of the relevant reporting date. Investments in private securities are priced at the bid price using a pricing service for private loans. If a price cannot be ascertained from the above sources, the Company will seek bid prices from third party broker/dealer quotes for the investments.


In cases where no third party price is available, or where the Alternative Investment Fund Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the investment, the Alternative Investment Fund Manager determines the valuation based on itsfair valuation policy.

Payables for investments purchased - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value as they reflect the value at which investments are purchased from a willing seller and settlement period on their balances is short term.

Payables to Manager and affiliates and Accrued expenses and other liabilities - The carrying value reasonably approximates fair value.

Forward currency contracts are revalued using the exchange rate prevailing at the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities date.

Investments in private investment companies/partnerships are valued utilising the net asset valuations provided by the underlying private investment companies/partnerships as a practical expedient. The Company applies the practical expedient consistently in its portfolio unless it is probable that the Company will sell a portion of an investment at an amount different from the net asset valuation.

The Company categorises its investments as follows based on the inputs used in valuation techniques:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs

Further to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company employs the net asset valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10. The sources of inputs are evaluated in line with the Company's valuation policy. This includes any markets in which the Company's investments are trading, or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading, in determining fair value. The Company's valuation policy considers the fact that unobservable inputs must be used to determine the fair value of investments where there is not a readily available market valuation.

The table below details the Company's investments that were accounted for at fair value as at 30 June 2015.

Changes in any of the above inputs may positively or adversely impact the fair value of the relevant investments.

Level 3 assets are valued using single bid-side broker quotes or by good faith methods of the Alternative Investment Fund Manager. For single broker quotes, the Alternative Investment Fund Manager uses unobservable inputs to assess the reasonableness of the broker quote. For good faith valuations, the Alternative Investment Fund Manager directly uses unobservable inputs to produce valuations. The significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 assets are outlined in the table on the previous page.

These inputs vary by asset class. For example, real estate asset valuations may utilise discounted cash flow models using an average value per square foot and appropriate discount rate. Other assets may be based on analysis of the liquidation of the underlying assets. In general, increases/(decreases) to per unit valuation inputs such as value per square foot, will result in increases/(decreases) to investment value.

Similarly, increases/(decreases) of asset realisation inputs (liquidation estimate, letter of intent, etc.) will also result in increases/(decreases) in value. In situations where discounted cash flow models are used, increasing/ (decreasing) discount rates or increasing/(decreasing) weighted average life, in isolation, will generally result in decreased/(increased) valuations.

The following table summarises the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value its investments categorised within Level 3 as of 31 December 2014. The table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead captures the significant unobservable inputs relevant to our determination of fair values.

The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of various levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

Note 7 - Risks

The Company is subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Alternative Investment Fund Manager monitors and seeks to manage these risks on an ongoing basis. While the Alternative Investment Fund Manager generally seeks to hedge certain portfolio risks, the Alternative Investment Fund Manager is not required and may not attempt to hedge all market or other risks in the portfolio, and it may decide to only partially hedge certain risks.

Market Risk

Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of investments. Categories of market risk include, but are not limited to interest rates. Interest rate risks primarily result from exposures to changes in the level, slope and curvature of the yield curve, the volatility of interest rates and credit spreads. Details of the Company's investment portfolio at 30 June 2015 are disclosed in the consolidated schedule of investments. Each separate investment exceeding 5% of net assets is disclosed separately.

Credit Risk

The Company may invest in a range of corporate and other bonds and other credit sensitive securities. Until such investments are sold or are paid in full at maturity, the Company is exposed to credit risk relating to whether the issuer will meet its obligations when the securities come due. Distressed debt securities by nature are securities in companies which are in default or are heading into default and will expose the Company to a higher than normal amount of credit risk.

The cash and other liquid securities held can subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Alternative Investment Fund Manager attempts to mitigate the credit risk that exists with cash deposits and other liquid securities by regularly monitoring the credit ratings of such financial institutions and at times attempting to hold a significant amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents in U.S. Treasuries or other highly liquid securities.

Credit risk is the risk of losses due to the failure of counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. Since the Company does not clear all of its own securities transactions, it has established accounts with other financial institutions for this purpose. This can, and often does, result in a concentration of credit risk with one or more of these institutions. Such risk, however, is partially mitigated by the obligation of certain of these financial institutions to comply with rules and regulations governing financial institutions in countries where they conduct their business activities.

These rules and regulations generally require maintenance of minimum net capital and may also require segregation of customers' funds and financial instruments from the holdings of the financial institutions themselves. The Company actively reviews and attempts to manage exposures to various financial institutions in an attempt to mitigate these risks.

The credit risk relating to derivatives is detailed in note 4.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as and when these fall due.

Liquidity risk is managed by the Alternative Investment Fund Manager so as to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient working capital in cash or near cash form so as to be able to meet the Company's ongoing requirements as these are budgeted for.

Other Risks

Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the Company that may adversely affect the Company. The regulatory environment for alternative investment vehicles is evolving, and changes in the regulation of alternative investment vehicles may adversely affect the value of investments held by the Company or the ability of the Company to pursue its trading strategies.

Note 8 - Share Capital

The Company's share capital consists of:

10,000 Class A Shares authorised, of par value $1 each (which carry extensive voting rights); and, an unlimited number of shares of no par value which may upon issue be designated as Ordinary Shares (Ordinary Share, Extended Life Share Classes and New Global Shares) and or Subscription Shares (each of which carry limited voting rights) or Capital Distributions Shares.

The issued share capital of the Company is denominated in U.S. Dollars which consists of Ordinary Shares and Class A Shares and in Pound Sterling which consists of New Global Shares. Ordinary Shareholders and New Global Shareholders have the right to attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company. Class A Shareholders do not have the right to attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company save where there are no other shares of the Company in issue.

The Class A Shares are held by the Trustee pursuant to a purpose trust established under Guernsey law. Under the terms of the Trust Deed, the Trustee holds the Class A Shares for the purpose of exercising the rights conferred by such shares in the manner it considers, in its absolute discretion, to be in the best interests of the Ordinary Shareholders as a whole.

The original investment period expired on 10 June 2013 and a proposal was made to Ordinary Shareholders to extend the investment period by 21 months to 31 March 2015. A vote was held at a class meeting of Shareholders on 8 April 2013 where the majority of shareholders voted in favour of the proposed extension.

Following this meeting and with the Ordinary Shareholders approval of the extension, a new Extended Life Share class was created (the "Extended Life Shares") which consists of 72% of initial Investors who elected to convert their Ordinary Shares to Extended Life Shares. The rest of investors remain invested on the basis of the current investment period.

The Extended Life Share class are subject to a new capital return policy pursuant to which the Company will seek to return to the holders of Extended Life Shares all capital profits arising from the exit of any assets attributable to the Extended Life Shares (net of any amount that the directors estimate may become payable as performance fee).

As at the 30 June 2015, the Company had the following number shares in issue:

	30 June 2015	31 December 2014
Issued and fully paid up:
Class A Shares	2	2
Ordinary Shares Class of no par value (Nil in Treasury)	61,146,214	75,011,865
