Unaudited Interim Financial Report - Chairman's Statement

I am writing to present the Unaudited Interim Financial Report for the Company for the period ended 30 September 2015.

Qualifying investments account for 79% of the Company's overall portfolio. The VCT maintains its VCT qualifying status through satisfying the test of being at least 70% invested in VCT qualifying investments.

Ordinary Share Class and A Share Class

The solar PV companies in which the Ordinary Share Class and A Share Class invested disposed of a significant proportion of their portfolios of roof-mounted solar systems during the year ended 31 March 2015 which resulted in an uplift to the valuation of the Company's investments of an aggregate 1.4 million, equivalent to 10.15p per A Share and 4.36p per Ordinary Share. Subsequently all but one of these investments has been sold. More information is given in the Investment Manager's Report.

In June the Company completed the sale of its investments in three Anaerobic Digestion companies for 4.8 million resulting in an uplift in the valuation of 0.6 million equivalent to 2.75p per Ordinary Share and 1.76p per A Share.

Ordinary Share Class

During the period the Ordinary Share Class invested 1.6 million into companies in the hydro electric power sector and 3.8 million into companies in energy generation and infrastructure from the proceeds of the disposals of solar PV companies.

During the period a dividend of 5p per share, equivalent to 973,744, was paid to the Ordinary Class Shareholders.

As at 30 September 2015 the net asset value stood at 83.40p per share. Adding back the total dividends of 9.11p paid to Ordinary Class Shareholders takes the total return including net asset value to 92.51p per share, which compares to a weighted average share price at acquisition or conversion of 83.6p. This compares favourably with the total targeted return to investors in 2018 of 90.4p per share.

A Share Class

Two dividends were paid to the A Class Shareholders during the period. On 24 July 2015 256,568 was paid, equivalent to 5p per share and on 21 August 2015 2,052,541 was paid, equivalent to 40p per share. The second dividend was as a result of the disposals detailed above.

As at 30 September 2015 the net asset value stood at 41.22p per share. Adding back the dividends paid to A Class Shareholders of 56.2p per share takes the total return including net asset value to 97.42p per share, which compares to a weighted average share price at conversion of 86.4p. This compares favourably with the total targeted return to investors in 2017 of 97.6p per share.

C Share Class

The C Share Class has invested 13.5 million into companies investing in small scale hydro electric power projects in Scotland. The investment programme for the C Share Fund portfolio is complete.

At 30 September 2015 the net asset value stood at 101.16p per share.

D Share Class

Last year shareholders approved the proposal for a new share class. The Offer closed on 30 April 2015 with a total of 13,701,636 D Shares being issued and 14.3 million of funds raised.

The D Share Class has invested 13.7 million into companies in the hydro electric power sector of which 7.5 million is invested in companies that have commenced construction.

At 30 September 2015 the net asset value stood at 99.85p per share.

Risks

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

risk of failure to maintain approval as a VCT

investment risk associated with making and holding VCT qualifying investments

The Board and the Investment Manager continue to work to minimise the likelihood and potential impact of these risks.

Outlook

Following the successful disposal of the solar PV and anaerobic digestion companies we will be focused on managing our seasoned investment portfolio as well as on the development of our new investments in the hydro and wider generation sectors.

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

Unaudited Interim Financial Report -Investment Manager's Review

During the period 7 investee companies which generated renewable electricity from residential solar PV panels were sold and as a result of this sale, a total of 7.7m was realised from this portfolio. This was the first large scale sale of its kind in the UK VCT sector. We are pleased to report that the disposal contributed significantly to an uplift of 4.36p per Ordinary Share, equivalent to 850,000 on the net asset value of the Ordinary Share Class investments and 10.15p per A Share, equivalent to 520,000 on the net asset value of the A Share Class investments.Three companies generating electricity through anaerobic digestion were also sold in June realising 4.8m which contributed to an uplift of 2.75p per Ordinary Share equivalent to 535,000 on the net asset value and 1.76p per A Share equivalent to 90,000 on the net asset value.

The Company has maintained a portfolio of qualifying investments of net assets, ensuring that the Company continues to satisfy the regulatory requirement to be 70% invested in qualifying investments.

The VCT was established to fund small and medium sized enterprises and at the period end the overall portfolio comprised investments in 21 small, unquoted companies in four sectors: cinema digitisation; crematorium management; renewable electricity generation from hydro electric power and landfill gas; SME lending.

VCT Sector Portfolio

Cinema Digitisation

Over the six month period, TP Income's portfolio of cinema digitisation businesses continued to perform as intended, with the companies benefitting from regular and reliable revenues from their operations in the UK, Germany, Italy and Ireland.

Crematorium Management

Through the Ordinary Share Class portfolio, the Company has one investment in a business that provides crematory and mercury abatement services for the crematoria of a London Borough.

Landfill Gas

Craigahulliar Energy Ltd (CEL) and Aeris Power Ltd (APL) each generates renewable electricity from landfill gas at sites operated respectively by local councils and a large waste management company in Northern Ireland. Both businesses continue to generate electricity for export to the Grid, earning long term cash flows through the sale of electricity to a utility company and potentially to the site owners, and through the sale of the Renewables Obligation Certificates. CEL is generating in line with expectations while APL's generation is running slightly lower than expected due to lower than expected gas extraction. Management have taken actions to address this and while the company continues to be comfortably able to meet the VCT's interest payments, we have deemed it prudent to reflect slightly lower cash flow projections in the recent valuation.

Hydro Electric Power

27.6 million has been invested into companies in the hydro electric power sector of which 19.8 million is invested in companies that have commenced construction. Since the period end a further 0.8 million has been advanced to a company that has a hydro electric scheme in construction.

SME Lending

The C Share Fund has invested in Broadpoint 2 Ltd, a Company that is engaged in lending to small businesses in the Hydro Sector.

Energy Generation and Infrastructure

The Ordinary Share Class has invested 3.8 million into two companies pursuing opportunities in energy generation and infrastructure.
