Half-year Report

 SHERBORNE INVESTORS (GUERNSEY) B LIMITED

Interim Report and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020

Chairman's Statement

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present the Interim Report of Sherborne Investors (Guernsey) B Limited (the "Company") for the period 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020.

During the period the Company continued to pursue its investment strategy through its shareholding in Electra Private Equity PLC ("Electra").

As at 30 June 2020, the net asset value ("NAV") attributable to shareholders of the Company was £17.5 million (30 June 2019: £30.9 million and 31 December 2019: £34.3 million) or 5.56 pence per share (30 June 2019: 9.83 pence per share and 31 December 2019: 10.91 pence per share). The Company's NAV was based on the closing price of 191.25 pence as at 30 June 2020 (351.00 pence as at 30 June 2019 and 391.50 pence as at 31 December 2019) for the shares of Electra. As at the period end SIGB, LP held approximately 29.90% of Electra through ordinary shares. The ownership level remains the same at the date of this statement.

On 12 December 2019, Electra declared the first special dividend of financial year 2020 of 31 pence per share, paid on 24 January 2020, representing £3.55 million of proceeds to the Company. Following receipt of Electra's dividend, the Company paid a dividend of 0.65 pence per share on 7 February 2020 to shareholders of record at 17 January 2020.

On 21 May 2020 Electra announced that its NAV at 31 March 2020 was 372.5 pence per share, of which 26.9 pence represented cash and liquidity funds, and that as at 30 April 2020 its NAV was 414.3 pence per share. Electra also reconfirmed its intention to complete the realisation of its remaining investments by the end of 2021.

The principal risks and uncertainties of the Company are in relation to performance risk, market risk, relationship risk and operational risk. These are unchanged from 31 December 2019, and further details may be found in the Directors' Strategic Report within the Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019. The Directors will continue to assess the principal risks and uncertainties relating to the Company for the remaining six months of the year but expect these to remain unchanged.

Details of related party transactions during the period are included in Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the period, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak has caused extensive disruptions to businesses and economic activities globally. The uncertainties over the emergence and spread of COVID-19 have caused market volatility on a global scale. In March 2020 Electra's largest investment, TGI Fridays, a restaurant chain operating principally in the UK, temporarily closed all of its restaurants in accordance with a government mandate and during this period another investment of Electra, Hotter, the UK's largest shoe manufacturer, paused its manufacturing and closed its retail locations but continued operating its ecommerce platform. Subsequently, on 29 July 2020 Electra announced that TGI Fridays had opened substantially all of its restaurants and was experiencing positive year over year gains in revenue. Electra also announced that Hotter had undertaken a company voluntary arrangement ("CVA") and had received approval from creditors to close the majority of Hotter's retail locations, resulting in a pro forma EBITDA margin increase of 30%. Electra also confirmed that, despite the pandemic, it remained on track to complete the liquidation of all of its investments by the end of 2021. While the results of Electra are currently encouraging, the situation is constantly evolving as governments and businesses continue to combat the impact of the pandemic. As an investment company, for day to day operations the Company is ultimately dependent on the Investment Manager, Administrator and Company Secretary all of whom have robust business continuity plans in place to ensure that they can continue to service the Company. These business continuity plans have been in place and have been proven effective over the period.

We are grateful for your continued support and will keep you informed of the status of our investment as it develops.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

Responsibility statement

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

• The condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union;

• The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7R (indication of important events during the first six months and their impact on the condensed financial statements and description of principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year);

• The interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R (disclosure of related parties' transactions and changes therein); and

• The condensed set of financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the issuer, or the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole as required by DTR 4.2.10R.

Going Concern

During the period, the COVID-19 outbreak has caused extensive disruptions to businesses and economic activities globally. The uncertainties over the emergence and spread of COVID-19 have caused market volatility on a global scale. For further details on the COVID-19 related impact to the Company refer to the Chairman's Statement.

In addition to making enquiries of the Investment Manager and Administrator, the Directors have undertaken a rigorous review of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern including reviewing the on-going cash flows and the level of cash balances as of the reporting date as well as taking forecasts of future cash flows and Electra's position as a non-going concern into consideration and are of the opinion that the Group has adequate cash on hand at the reporting date to continue its operational activities for at least the next twelve months. This is not impacted by any potential future decline in the Electra share price. Electra is undergoing a "managed wind-down" and has determined that it's no longer a going concern. However, this has not impacted Electra's reporting basis and the board of Electra still believes that it will be viable for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt a going concern basis in preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Members of Sherborne Investors (Guernsey) B Limited

We have been engaged by Sherborne Investors (Guernsey) B Limited (the "Company") to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2020 which comprises the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and related notes 1 to 13. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

Directors' responsibilities

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

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.

Our responsibility

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

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, 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 consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2020 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Company 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 Financial Reporting Council. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review 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 formed.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Reporting entity

Sherborne Investors (Guernsey) B Limited (the "Company") is a closed-ended investment company with limited liability formed under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended). The Company was incorporated and registered in Guernsey on 8 November 2012. The Company commenced dealings on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market on 29 November 2012 and moved from AIM to the London Stock Exchange's Specialist Fund Segment ("SFS") on 7 May 2013. The Company's registered office is 1 Royal Plaza, Royal Avenue, St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands, GY1 2HL. The "Group" is defined as the Company and its subsidiary, SIGB, LP (the "Investment Partnership").

Basis of preparation

The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as adopted in the European Union. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2019, as included in this Interim Report, is derived from the financial statements delivered to the Listing Authority and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended). The Auditor reported in the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019: their report was unqualified; did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis; and did not contain a statement under Section 263(2) or 263(3) of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended).

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' ("IAS 34") as adopted in the European Union, together with applicable legal and regulatory requirements of Guernsey Law. The Directors of the Company have taken the exemption in Section 244 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended) and have therefore elected to only prepare Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the measurement at fair value of investments. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim period.

Going concern

During the period, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak has caused extensive disruptions to businesses and economic activities globally. The uncertainties over the emergence and spread of COVID-19 have caused market volatility on a global scale. In March 2020 Electra's largest investment, TGI Fridays, a restaurant chain operating principally in the UK, temporarily closed all of its restaurants in accordance with a government mandate and during this period another investment of Electra, Hotter, the UK's largest shoe manufacturer, paused its manufacturing and closed its retail locations but continued operating its ecommerce platform. Subsequently, on 29 July 2020 Electra announced that TGI Fridays had opened substantially all of its restaurants and was experiencing positive year over year gains in revenue. Electra also announced that Hotter had undertaken a company voluntary arrangement ("CVA") and had received approval from creditors to close the majority of Hotter's retail locations, resulting in a pro forma EBITDA margin increase of 30%. Electra also confirmed that, despite the pandemic, it remained on track to complete the liquidation of all of its investments by the end of 2021. While the results of Electra are currently encouraging, the situation is constantly evolving as governments and businesses continue to combat the impact of the pandemic. As an investment company, for day to day operations the Company is ultimately dependent on the Investment Manager, Administrator and Company Secretary all of whom have robust business continuity plans in place to ensure that they can continue to service the Company. These business continuity plans have been in place and have been proven effective over the period.

In addition to making enquiries of the Investment Manager and the Administrator, the Directors have undertaken a rigorous review of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern including reviewing the on-going cash flows and the level of cash balances as of the reporting date as well as taking forecasts of future cash flows and Electra's position as a non-going concern into consideration and are of the opinion that the Group has adequate cash on hand at the reporting date to continue its operational activities for at least the next twelve months. This is not impacted by any potential future decline in the Electra share price. Electra is undergoing a "managed wind-down" and has determined that it's no longer a going concern. However, this has not impacted Electra's reporting basis and the board of Electra still believes that it will be viable for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt a going concern basis in preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the Group's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies at the date of the Group's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

There are no critical accounting judgements or significant estimates utilised for the preparation of the Group's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at 30 June 2020 due to the nature of the activities that have occurred in this period, together with the sole investment held by the Group being quoted on the London Stock Exchange. Fair value of financial assets held through profit or loss is therefore based on the quoted closing bid price at 30 June 2020.

Adoption of new and revised standards

(i) New standards adopted as at 1 January 2020:

All new standards effective from 1 January 2020 have been adopted and do not have a material impact on the financial statements.

(ii) Standards, amendments and interpretations early adopted by the Group:

There were no standards, amendments and interpretations early adopted by the Group.

(iii) Standards, amendments and interpretations in issue but not yet effective:

Unless stated otherwise, the Directors do not consider the adoption of any new and revised accounting standards and interpretations to have a material impact as the new standards or amendments are not relevant to the operations of the Group.

a. Basis of consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and an entity controlled by the Company (its subsidiary). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiary are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling entities' share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the non-controlling entities in excess of their interest in the subsidiary's equity are allocated against their interests to the extent that this would create a negative balance.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

The Company owns 95.55% (2019: 95.55%) of the capital interest in the Investment Partnership. Whilst the General Partner of the Investment Partnership, a company registered in Delaware, USA, is responsible for directing the day to day operations of the Investment Partnership, the Company, through its majority interest in the Investment Partnership, has control and therefore the ability to approve the proposed investment of the Investment Partnership and to remove the general partner. Hence, the Company has consolidated the Investment Partnership in its financial statements.

b. Non-controlling interest

The interest of non-controlling parties in the subsidiary is measured at their proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

For the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

c. Functional currency

Items included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Pound Sterling ("£"), which is the Group's functional and presentational currency. Transactions in currencies other than £ are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are retranslated into £ at the rate of exchange ruling at that date. Exchange differences are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

d. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Investments are designated as fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments', as the Group's business model is to invest in financial assets with a view to profiting from their total return in the form of interest and changes in fair value. Despite the large holding, under International Accounting Standard 28 'Investments in Associates', the fund can hold the investment in Electra Private Equity plc ("Electra") shares at fair value through profit or loss rather than as an associate as the Investment Partnership is a closed-ended fund.

Investments in voting shares are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently re-measured at fair value, as determined by the Directors. Unrealised gains or losses arising from the revaluation of investments in voting shares are taken directly to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

In determining fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement' ("IFRS 13"), investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories within the fair value hierarchy:

Level I - An unadjusted quoted price for identical assets and liabilities in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available. As required by IFRS 13, the Group will not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where it holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II - Inputs are other than unadjusted quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

Level III - Inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgement or estimation.

The investments held by the Group at the period end are classified as meeting the definition of Level I (period ended 30 June 2019: Level I and year ended 31 December 2019: Level I). On disposal of shares, cost of investments are allocated on a first in, first out basis.

e. Revenue recognition

Dividend income is recognised when the Group's right to receive payment has been established. Tax suffered on dividend income for which no relief is available is treated as an expense.

Interest receivable from short-term deposits and investment income are recognised on an accruals basis. Where receipt of investment income is not likely until the maturity or realisation of an investment then the investment income is accounted for as an increase in the fair value of the investment.

f. Expenses

All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses are charged through the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur.

g. Prepaid expenses and trade receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, where necessary, remeasured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The Group only holds trade receivables with no financing component and which have maturities of less than 12 months at amortised cost and has therefore applied the simplified approach to expected credit loss.

h. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand as well as call and current balances with banks and similar institutions, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. This definition is also used for the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The carrying amount of these assets approximate their fair value, unless otherwise stated.

i. Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, where necessary, re-measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

j. Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Group's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

k. Segmental reporting

As the Group invests in one investee company, there is no segregation between industry, currency or geographical location and therefore no further disclosures are required in conjunction with IFRS 8 'Operating Segments'.

l. Incentive allocation

The incentive allocation is accounted for on an accruals basis and the calculation is disclosed in Note 11. The incentive allocation is payable to the non-controlling interest and therefore recognised in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity rather than recognised as an expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

m. Dividends to shareholders

Dividends are recognised in the Group's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the period in which they are declared and approved by the Board of Directors.

2. Comprehensive income/(loss)

The comprehensive income/(loss) has been arrived at after charging:

In addition to the audit and half-yearly review related remuneration above a further £15,089 was due to the Auditor in relation to tax compliance services (period ended 30 June 2019: £14,600 and year ended 31 December 2019: £19,758).

3. Tax on ordinary activities

The Company has been granted exemption from income tax in Guernsey under the Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinance 1989, and is liable to pay an annual fee (currently £1,200) under the provisions of the Ordinance. As such it will not be liable to income tax in Guernsey other than on Guernsey source income (excluding deposit interest on funds deposited with a Guernsey bank). No withholding tax is applicable to distributions to Shareholders by the Company.

The Investment Partnership will not itself be subject to taxation in Guernsey. No withholding tax is applicable to distributions to partners of the Investment Partnership.

Income which is wholly derived from the business operations conducted on behalf of the Investment Partnership with, and investments made in, persons or companies who are not resident in Guernsey will not be regarded as Guernsey source income. Such income will not therefore be liable to Guernsey tax in the hands of non-Guernsey resident limited partners.

Dividend income is shown gross of any withholding tax.

4. Earnings per share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the return on ordinary activities less total comprehensive income attributable to the non-controlling interest and on there being 314,547,259 (30 June 2019: 314,547,259 and 31 December 2019: 314,547,259) weighted average number of shares in issue. The earnings per share for the period ended 30 June 2020 amounted to a deficit of 5.35 pence per share (period ended 30 June 2019: a deficit of 0.07 pence per share and year ended 31 December 2019: a surplus of 1.67 pence per share).

5. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The change in fair value of Electra is largely due to the decline in multiples used to value the investments of Electra as well as the widening of the discount to NAV. As at 30 June 2020, the Group held 11,446,086 shares of Electra (30 June 2019: 11,446,086 and 31 December 2019: 11,446,086), which is a London Stock Exchange listed investment trust focused on private equity investments. In accordance with the Group's investment policy, the Investment Manager does not intend to effect a purchase of shares such that it would be required to make a mandatory bid for the entire share capital of Electra.

6. Dividend income

On 12 December 2019, Electra declared the first special dividend of financial year 2020 of 31 pence per share, paid on 24 January 2020 to shareholders on record on 27 December 2019 which equated to £3,548,287 attributable to the Group and was therefore recognised as dividend income in 2019 (period ended 30 June 2019: £6,180,886 and year ended 31 December 2019: £9,729,173).

7. Trade and other payables

8. Consolidated share capital and share premium

Each Ordinary Share has no par value with no right to fixed income.

9. Net asset value per share attributable to the Company

10. Dividends and distributions

On 6 March 2019, a dividend of 1.5 pence per share was declared by the Company and was paid on 26 April 2019 to shareholders on record on 29 March 2019 which equated to £4,718,208.

On 17 December 2019, a dividend of 0.65 pence per share was declared by the Company and was paid on 7 February 2020 to shareholders on record on 17 January 2020 which equated to £2,044,557.

Dividends are paid subject to the discretion of the Directors following the receipt of any distributions from the Investment Partnership. This will be dependent on the frequency with which the Selected Target Company ("STC") pays dividends to its shareholders.

There were no dividends declared during the period (period ended 30 June 2019: £4,718,208 and year ended 31 December 2019: £6,762,765) or 0% of 31 December 2019 Net Asset Value ("NAV") (period ended 30 June 2019: 9.91% of 31 December 2018 NAV and year ended 31 December 2019: 14.21% of 31 December 2018 NAV).

Total distributions paid by the Group to non-controlling interests during the period were £804,963 (period ended 30 June 2019: £1,508,902 and year ended 31 December 2019: £1,508,902). Distributions to non-controlling interests are made at the discretion of the general partner to the Investment Partnership following the receipt of any distributions from the STC. Distributions are therefore dependent on the frequency with which the STC pays dividends to its shareholders.

11. Related party transactions

The Investment Partnership and its General Partner, Sherborne Investors (Guernsey) GP, LLC, have engaged Sherborne Investors Management (Guernsey) LLC to serve as Investment Manager who is responsible for identifying the STC, subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, as well as day to day management activities of the Investment Partnership. The Investment Manager is entitled to receive from the Investment Partnership a monthly management fee equal to one-twelfth of 1% of the NAV of the Investment Partnership, less cash and cash equivalents and certain other adjustments. During the period, management fees of £157,544 (period ended 30 June 2019: £213,285 and year ended 31 December 2019: £406,209) had been paid by the Partnership. No balance was outstanding at the period end (period ended 30 June 2019: £Nil and year ended 31 December 2019: £Nil).

The sole member of Sherborne Investors (Guernsey) GP, LLC is Sherborne Investors LP (the non-controlling interest), which also serves as the Special Limited Partner of the Investment Partnership. The Special Limited Partner is entitled to receive an incentive allocation once aggregate distributions to partners of the Investment Partnership, of which one is the Company, exceed a certain level of capital contributions to the Investment Partnership, excluding amounts contributed attributable to management fees.

Sherborne Strategic Fund D, LLC ("SSFD"), an affiliate of the General Partner to the Investment Partnership, holds a 4.43% capital interest in the Investment Partnership. Management and incentive fees are assessed based on the capital interest of SSFD's interest.

For Turnaround investments, the incentive allocation is computed at 10% of the distributions to all partners in excess of 110%, increasing to 20% of the distributions to all partners in excess of 150% and increasing to 25% of the distributions to all partners in excess of 200% of capital contributions, excluding amounts contributed attributable to management fees.

At the period end, the incentive allocation has been computed based on a Turnaround investment and amounts to £4,521,989 (30 June 2019: £8,864,101 and 31 December 2019: £10,890,498) of which £200,435 (30 June 2019: £362,548 31 December 2019 £434,814) relates to SSFD. The amount paid in the period was £697,924 (period ended 30 June 2019: £1,287,809 and year ended 31 December 2019: £1,287,810) of which £30,936 relates to SSFD (period ended 30 June 2019: £57,083 and year ended 31 December 2019: £57,083).

Sherborne Investors LP, SSFD and the General Partner also earned their share of the Total Comprehensive Loss for the period of £1,030,692 (period ended 30 June 2019: Total Comprehensive Income of £2,259 and year ended 31 December 2019: Total Comprehensive Income of £354,031).

Each of the Directors (other than the Chairman) receives a fee payable by the Company currently at a rate of £35,000 per annum. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives £5,000 per annum in addition to such fee. The Chairman receives a fee payable by the Company currently at the rate of £50,000 per annum.

Individually and collectively, the Directors of the Company hold no shares in the Company as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: Nil and 31 December 2019: Nil).

Sherborne Investors GP, LLC has granted to the Company a non-exclusive licence to use the name "Sherborne Investors" in the UK and the Channel Islands in the corporate name of the Company and in connection with the conduct of the Company's business affairs. The Company may not sub-licence or assign its rights under the Trademark Licence Agreement. Sherborne Investors GP, LLC receives a fee of £10,000 (2019: £20,000) per annum for the use of the licensed name.

12. Financial risk factors

The Group's investment objective is to realise capital growth from investment in the STC, identified by the Investment Manager with the aim of generating significant capital return for Shareholders. Consistent with that objective, the Group's financial instruments mainly comprise of an investment in a STC. In addition, the Group holds cash and cash equivalents as well as having trade and other receivables and trade and other payables that arise directly from its operations.

Liquidity risk

The Group's cash and cash equivalents are placed in demand deposits with a range of financial institutions and are sufficient to cover the Group's obligations. Additionally, the listed investment in Electra could be partially redeemed relatively quickly (within 3 months) should it be necessary for the Group to meet additional obligations or pay ongoing expenses as and when they fall due.

The following table details the liquidity analysis for financial assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position:

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk in respect of its cash and cash equivalents, arising from possible default of the relevant counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying value of those assets. The credit risk on liquid funds is mitigated through the Group depositing cash and cash equivalents across several banks. The Group is exposed to credit risk in respect of its trade receivables and other receivable balances with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying value of those assets. UBS Financial Services Inc. & HSBC Holdings PLC currently have a stand alone credit rating of A-, whilst Barclays Bank PLC has a sandalone credit rating of A with Standard & Poor's (30 June 2019: UBS Financial Services Inc. & HSBC Holdings PLC A- whilst Barclays Bank PLC A with Standard & Poor's and 31 December 2019: UBS Financial Services Inc. & HSBC Holdings PLC A- whilst Barclays Bank PLC A with Standard & Poor's).

Market price risk

Market price risk arises as a result of the Group's exposure to the future values of the share price of the STC. It represents the potential loss that the Group may suffer through investing in the STC. Further information can be found in the 31 December 2019 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk arises as the value of future transactions, recognised monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in other currencies fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Investment Manager monitors the Group's monetary and non-monetary foreign exchange exposure on a regular basis. The Group has limited foreign exchange risk exposure.

Interest rate risk

The Group is subject to risks associated with changes in interest rates in respect of interest earned on its cash and cash equivalents. The Group seeks to mitigate this risk by monitoring the placement of cash balances on an ongoing basis in order to maximise the interest rates obtained.

As at 30 June 2020, the total interest sensitivity gap for interest bearing items was a surplus of £1,003,800 (30 June 2019: surplus of £1,156,000 and 31 December 2019: surplus of £696,863).

As at 30 June 2020, interest rates reported by the Bank of England were 0.10% which would equate to income of £1,004 (period ended 30 June 2019: interest rates were 0.75% which would equate to income of £8,670 and year ended 31 December 2019: interest rates were 0.75% which would equate to net income of £5,226) per annum if interest bearing assets remained constant. If interest rates were to fluctuate by 50 basis points, this would have a positive effect of £5,019 or negative effect of £1,004 (period ended 30 June 2019: £5,780 and year ended 31 December 2019: £3,484) on the Group's annual income.

Capital risk management

The capital structure of the Company consists of proceeds raised from the issue of Ordinary Shares. As at 30 June 2020, the Group is not subject to any external capital requirement.

The Directors believe that at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position there were no other material risks associated with the management of the Group's capital.
