The financial information set out below do not constitute the Company'sstatutory interim accounts for the period ended 30 June 2014. All figures arebased on the unaudited condensed interim report and financial statements forthe period ended 30 June 2014 ("Interim Report"). The Interim Report will shortly be posted to shareholders and will also beavailable on the company website: www.thirdpointpublic.com Chairman's Statement I am pleased to present the seventh Unaudited Semi-Annual Financials for ThirdPoint Offshore Investors ("the Company"). The Company was established as a closed-end investment company, registered andincorporated in Guernsey on 19 July 2007. The Company invests its assets inThird Point Offshore Master Fund L.P. (the "Master Partnership") via ThirdPoint Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the "Master Fund"), which pursues an opportunisticinvestment approach based on event-driven fundamental value analysis. During the first half of 2014, the Company's net asset value (the "NAV")appreciated approximately 7% across both share classes. Performance was drivenby Third Point LLC's (the "Investment Manager") investment process andopportunistic approach. The Investment Manager continued to search globally forcompelling event-driven equity and credit opportunities as well as select macroinvestments. Top down macroeconomic insight coupled with diligent andthoughtful individual security selection utilising the Investment Manager'sbottom-up, fundamental investment policy has led to an increase in equityexposure and a corresponding decrease in the number of corporate creditinvestments in the Investment Manager's portfolio. Returns for the year havebeen driven by strong performance in corporate, government and structuredcredit positions as well as U.S.-based equity investments. The Investment Manager has initiated several new, significant investmentsduring the first half of the year amidst a continued attractive environment forevent-driven investing. Portfolio construction has been influenced by theInvestment Manager's view that the global economy is relatively healthy andportfolio exposure has increased accordingly. The Investment Manager willcontinue to monitor macroeconomic trends and adjust exposures and portfoliohedges accordingly. Following strong investment performance, a series of corporate actions taken inthe Fourth Quarter of 2012 and a proactive approach to communications, theBoard has been pleased to see a significantly decreased discount in each of theshare classes relative to the year prior. We are committed to continuing toreview discount-control mechanisms, employing an ongoing annual dividend policywhere performance permits, and regular communication in an effort to furtherreduce the discount. We believe in the importance of transparent communicationswith shareholders and aim to be responsive to your inquiries. To this end, theCompany's website (thirdpointpublic.com) publishes monthly NAVs, a monthlyshareholder report, a narrative quarterly letter from the Investment Managerand other relevant information about the Company. In corporate governance matters, the independent Board of Directors and AuditCommittee have met regularly. My fellow Directors and I are honoured to serve our shareholders. Marc Antoine Autheman 26 August 2014 Directors' Report The Directors submit their Report together with the Company's Statements ofAssets and Liabilities, Unaudited Statements of Operations, Statements ofChanges in Net Assets, Unaudited Statements of Cash Flows and the related notesfor the period ended 30 June 2014, "Unaudited Condensed Interim FinancialStatements". These Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements have beenproperly prepared, in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedin the United States of America, any relevant enactment for the time being inforce, are in agreement with the accounting records and have been properlyprepared in all material aspects. The Company The Company was incorporated in Guernsey on 19 June 2007 as an authorisedclosed-ended investment scheme and was admitted to a secondary listing (Chapter14) on the Official List of the London Stock Exchange on 23 July 2007. Theproceeds from the initial issue of shares on listing amounted to approximatelyUS$523 million. Following changes to the Listing Rules on 6 April 2010, thesecondary listing became a standard listing. The Company is a member of the Association of Investment Companies ("AIC"). Investment Objective and Policy The Company's investment objective is to provide its Shareholders withconsistent long term capital appreciation utilising the investment skills ofThird Point LLC (the "Investment Manager") through investment of all of itscapital (net of short term working capital requirements) in Class E Shares ofThird Point Offshore Fund, Ltd (the "Master Fund"), an exempted company formedunder the laws of the Cayman Islands on 21 October 1996. The Master Fund is a limited partner of Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P.(the "Master Partnership"), an exempted limited partnership organised under thelaws of the Cayman Islands, of which Third Point Advisors II L.L.C., anaffiliate of the Investment Manager, is the general partner. Third Point LLC isthe Investment Manager to the Company, the Master Fund and the MasterPartnership. The Master Fund and the Master Partnership have the sameinvestment objectives, investment strategies and investment restrictions. The Master Fund and Master Partnership's investment objective is to seek togenerate consistent long- term capital appreciation, by using an event driven,bottom-up, fundamental approach to evaluate various types of securitiesthroughout companies' capital structures. The Investment Manager'simplementation of the Master Fund and Master Partnership's investment policy isthe main driver of the Company's performance. The Investment Manager's fundamental approach to investing begins withanalysing a company's financial performance, its management and competitiveadvantages, its position within its industry and the overall economy. Thisanalysis is performed on historical and current data with the ultimate goal ofproducing a set of projected financial results for the company. Once theprojections are established, the Investment Manager compares the currentvaluation of the company in question relative to its historical valuationrange, the valuation range of its peers and the overall market in general todetermine whether the markets are mis-pricing the company. The InvestmentManager ultimately invests in situations where it believes mis-pricing existsbecause this fundamental analysis indicates that such a disconnection willcorrect itself over time. The Investment Manager's bottom-up approach attempts to identify individualcompanies that would make attractive investment targets based on their growthand profitability characteristics. This approach differs from a top-downmethodology which first evaluates macro-economic, sector, industry orgeographic factors to select the best sectors or industries for investment. The Investment Manager seeks to identify Event Driven situations in which itcan take either a long or short investment position where it can identify anear or long-term catalyst that would unlock value. Results and Dividends The results for the period are set out in the Unaudited Statements ofOperations. Except in unusual circumstances, it is anticipated that the Boardof Directors of the Company (the "Board"), following discussions with theInvestment Manager, will declare an annual cash dividend equivalent to 4-5% ofthe Net Asset Value ("NAV") of the Company, to the extent that the positive NAVperformance of the Company is sufficient to support such dividends. Share Capital Share Capital Conversions took place during the period ended 30 June 2014. Asummary and the number of shares in issue at the period-end are disclosed inNote 6 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements. Going Concern After making enquiries and given the nature of the Company and its investment,the Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to continue to adopt thegoing concern basis in preparing these Unaudited Condensed Interim FinancialStatements. The Master Fund Shares are liquid and can be converted to cash tomeet liabilities as they fall due. After due consideration, the Directorsconsider that the Company is able to continue for the foreseeable future. Directors The Directors of the Company during the period and to the date of this reportare as listed on these Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements. Directors' Interests Mr Targoff holds the position of Chief Operating Officer, Partner and GeneralCounsel of Third Point LLC. Pursuant to an instrument of indemnity entered into between the Company andeach Director, the Company has undertaken, subject to certain limitations, toindemnify each Director out of the assets and profits of the Company againstall costs, charges, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out ofany claims made against them in connection with the performance of their dutiesas a Director of the Company. The Directors hold no shares in the Company and held no shares during theperiod. Corporate Governance Policy The Board has considered the principles and recommendations of the AIC Code ofCorporate Governance ("AIC Code") by reference to the AIC Corporate GovernanceGuide for Investment Companies ("AIC Guide"). The AIC Code, as explained by theAIC Guide, addresses all the principles set out in the UK Corporate GovernanceCode, as well as setting out additional principles and recommendations onissues that are of specific relevance. The Board has determined that reporting against the principles andrecommendations of the AIC Code, and by reference to the AIC Guide (whichincorporates the UK Corporate Governance Code), will provide better informationto shareholders. The Company has complied with all the recommendations of theAIC Code and the relevant provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code,except as set out below. The UK Corporate Governance Code includes provisions relating to: * the role of the chief executive; * executive directors' remuneration; and * the need for an internal audit function. For the reasons set out in the AIC Guide, the Board considers these provisionsare not relevant to the position of the Company, being an externally advisedinvestment company with no executive directors or employees. The Company hastherefore not reported further in respect of these provisions. The AIC Code provides a "comply or explain" code of corporate governancedesigned especially for the needs of investment companies. The AIC published anew code of corporate governance in October 2010 and the Company has reviewedits compliance with these standards. The UK Financial Reporting Council ("FRC")has confirmed that so far as investment companies are concerned it considersthat companies which comply with the AIC Code will be treated as meeting theirobligations under the UK Corporate Governance Code ("The Code") and Section9.8.6 of the Listing Rules. The Company does not have employees, hence no whistle-blowing policy isnecessary. However, the Directors have satisfied themselves that the Company'sservice providers have appropriate whistle- blowing policies and procedures andconfirmation has been sought from the service providers that nothing has arisenunder those policies and procedures which should be brought to the attention ofthe Board. On 30 September 2011 the Guernsey Financial Services Commission ("GFSC") issueda new Code of Corporate Governance (the "Guernsey Code") which came into effecton 1 January 2012. The Guernsey Code replaces the existing GFSC guidance,"Guidance on Corporate Governance in the Finance Sector". The Guernsey Codeprovides a framework that applies to all entities licensed by the GFSC or whichare registered or authorised as a collective investment scheme. Companiesreporting against the UK Corporate Governance Code or the Association ofInvestment Companies Code of Corporate Governance are deemed to comply with theGuernsey Code. It is the Company's policy to comply with the AIC Code. The FRC issued a revised UK Corporate Governance Code in September 2012, forreporting periods beginning on or after 1 October 2012. The AIC updated the AICCode (including the Jersey and Guernsey editions) and its AIC Guide in February2013 to reflect the relevant changes to the FRC document. Board Structure The Board currently consists of five non-executive Directors. As the Chairmanof the Board is an independent non-executive, the Board considers itunnecessary to appoint a senior independent Director.

Committees of the Board The AIC Code requires the Company to appoint nomination, remuneration andmanagement engagement committees. The Board has not deemed this necessary as,being comprised wholly of non- executive Directors, the whole Board considersthese matters. Following the "Women on Boards" review conducted by Lord Davies' of Abersoch inFebruary 2011, the Board has examined Lord Davies' Recommendations and notedthat it was consistently reviewing its policy and future appointments to theBoard would continue to be based on the individual's skills and experienceregardless of gender. The Investment Manager has wide experience in managing and administering fundvehicles and has access to extensive investment management resources. The Boardconsiders that the continued appointment of the Investment Manager on the termsagreed would be in the interests of the Company's shareholders as a whole. Audit Committee The Company's Audit Committee conducts formal meetings at least three times ayear for the purpose, amongst others, of considering the appointment,independence, effectiveness of the audit and remuneration of the auditors andto review and recommend the annual statutory accounts and interim report to theBoard of Directors. Directors' Duties and Responsibilities The Directors have adopted a set of Reserved Powers, which establish the keypurpose of the Board and detail its major duties. These duties cover thefollowing areas of responsibility: * Statutory obligations and public disclosure; * Strategic matters and financial reporting; * Board composition and accountability to shareholders; * Risk assessment and management, including reporting, compliance, monitoring, governance and control; and * Other matters having material effects on the Company. These Reserved Powers of the Board have been adopted by the Directors toclearly demonstrate the seriousness with which the Board takes its fiduciaryresponsibilities and as an ongoing means of measuring and monitoring theeffectiveness of its actions. The Directors are responsible for the overall management and direction of theaffairs of the Company. The Company has no Executive Directors or employees.The Company invests all of its assets in shares of the Master Fund and ThirdPoint LLC acts as Investment Manager to the Master Fund and is responsible forthe discretionary investment management of the Master Fund's investmentportfolio under the terms of the Master Fund Prospectus. Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited("NT") acts as Administrator and Company Secretary and is responsible to theBoard under the terms of the Administration Agreement. The Administrator isalso responsible for ensuring compliance with the Rules and Regulations ofGuernsey Law, London Stock Exchange listing requirements and observation of theReserved Powers of the Board and in this respect the Board receives detailedquarterly reports. The Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretarywho is responsible to the Board for ensuring that Board procedures are followedand that it complies with applicable rules and regulations of Guernsey Law, theGFSC and the London Stock Exchange. Individual Directors may, at the expense ofthe Company, seek independent professional advice on any matter that concernsthem in the furtherance of their duties. The Company maintains appropriateDirectors' and Officers' liability insurance in respect of legal action againstits Directors on an ongoing basis and the Company has maintained appropriateDirectors' Liability Insurance cover throughout the period. The Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company andfor taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and otherirregularities. Internal Control and Financial Reporting The Directors acknowledge that they are responsible for establishing andmaintaining the Company's system of internal control and reviewing itseffectiveness. Internal control systems are designed to manage rather thaneliminate the failure to achieve business objectives and can only providereasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatements or loss. The Directors review all controls including operations, compliance and riskmanagement. The key procedures which have been established to provide internalcontrol are: * Investment advisory services are provided by the Investment Manager. The Board is responsible for setting the overall investment policy, ensuring compliance with the Company's Investment Strategy and monitors the action of the Investment Manager and Master Fund at regular Board meetings. The Board has also delegated administration and company secretarial services to NT; however it retains accountability for all functions it has delegated. * The Board considers the process for identifying, evaluating and managing any significant risks faced by the Company on an on-going basis. It ensures that effective controls are in place to mitigate these risks and that a satisfactory compliance regime exists to ensure all local and international laws and regulations are upheld. In light of recent market volatility and economic turmoil, particular attention has been given to the effectiveness of controls to monitor liquidity risk, asset values, counterparty exposure and credit availability. * The Non-Executive Directors of the Company clearly define the duties and responsibilities of their agents and advisors and appointments are made by the Board after due and careful consideration. The Board monitors the ongoing performance of such agents and advisors. * The Investment Manager and NT maintain their own systems of internal control, on which they report to the Board. The Company, in common with other investment companies, does not have an internal audit function. The Audit Committee has considered the need for an internal audit function, but because of the internal control systems in place at the Investment Manager and NT, has decided it appropriate to place reliance on their systems and internal control procedures. * The systems are designed to ensure effectiveness and efficient operation, internal control and compliance with laws and regulations. In establishing the systems of internal control, regard is paid to the materiality of relevant risks, the likelihood of costs being incurred and costs of control. It follows therefore that the systems of internal control can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against the risk of material misstatement or loss. Board Performance The Board and Audit Committee undertake a formal annual evaluation of their ownperformance and that of their committees and individual Directors. In order toreview their effectiveness, the Board and Audit Committee carry out a processof formal self-appraisal. The Directors and Committee consider how the Boardand Audit Committee functions as a whole and also review the individualperformance of its members. This process is conducted by the respectiveChairman reviewing individually with each of the Directors and members of theCommittee their performance, contribution and commitment to the Company. Theperformance of the Chairman is evaluated by the other independent Directors. Management of Principal Risks and Uncertainties As noted in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities in respect of theUnaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements, the Directors are required toprovide a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing theCompany. The Directors have considered the risks and uncertainties facing theCompany and have prepared and review regularly a risk matrix which documentsthe significant risks faced by the Company. This document considers thefollowing information: * Identifying and reporting changes in the risk environment; * Identifying and reporting changes in the operational controls; * Identifying and reporting on the effectiveness of controls and remediation of errors arising; and * Reviewing the risks faced by the Company and the controls in place to address those risks. The Directors have acknowledged they are responsible for establishing andmaintaining the Company's system of internal control and reviewing itseffectiveness by focusing on four key areas: * Consideration of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment Manager; * Consideration of the process for identifying, evaluating and managing any significant risks faced by the Company on an ongoing basis; * Clarity around the duties and responsibilities of the agents and advisors engaged by the Directors; and * Reliance on the Investment Manager and Administrator maintaining their own systems of internal controls. Further discussion on Internal Control is documented in the Directors' Reportunder "Internal Control and Financial Reporting". The main risks and uncertainties that the Directors consider to apply to theCompany are as follows: * Underlying investment performance of the Master Fund. To mitigate this risk the Directors receive regular updates from the Investment Manager on the performance of the Master Fund. The Board reviews quarterly performance updates on the Master Fund and has access to the Investment Manager on any potential question raised; * Concentration of Investor Base. The Directors receive quarterly investor reports from the Corporate Broker and there is regular communication between the Directors and Broker to identify potential significant changes in the shareholder base; * Discount/Premium to the NAV. The Investment Manager, Corporate Broker and, when considered necessary, the Board of Directors, maintain regular contact with the significant shareholders to the Company. As part of ongoing process to seek to narrow the discount to NAV per Share at which the Shares are traded, the Directors introduced an annual dividend policy. Under that policy it was anticipated that the Company would pay a cash dividend of 4-5% of NAV to the extent that the positive NAV performance of the Company would support such a dividend and absent other, exigent circumstances relating to the Investment Manager and otherwise. The initial dividend paid in 2012 formed part of a number of corporate actions designed to narrow the ongoing discount to NAV, which included the return of US$60 million to Shareholders through a special dividend and a tender offer for shares in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Board monitors the discount/premium to the NAV on a regular basis and continually maintains regular contact with significant shareholders and the Investment Manager when necessary. On 14 November 2013, the Company announced the payment of a second annualdividend of approximately 5% of net asset value of each share class. Thepayment of this dividend formed part of a number of corporate actions designedto narrow the ongoing discount to NAV. As a result of the narrowing of thediscount and with the aim of increasing liquidity in the Company's shares, theMaster Partnership sold 135,000 USD shares in the Company on 30 May 2014 at aprice of $17.10 and 50,000 USD shares in the Company on 29 July 2014 at a priceof $17.40, both of which were at a discount to NAV of approximately of 3%. * Performance of the Investment Manager. The Directors review the performance of the Investment Manager on an annual basis and Board representatives conduct bi-annual visits to the Investment Manager; * Failure of appointed service providers to the Company. The Directors conduct a formal review of each service provider annually in addition to receiving regular updates from each service provider and ensuring that there is ongoing communication between the Board and the various service providers to the Company; * Financial Risk. The Board employs independent administrators to prepare the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company and meets with the independent auditors at least twice a year to discuss all financial matters including the appropriateness of the accounting policies. Significant Events During The Period On 7 February 2014 the Directors announced the compulsory Euro share classconversion into the USD share class. At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 12 March 2014,Shareholders approved to amend the Company's Articles, further details of whichare disclosed in Note 10.

The Conversion was inaccordance with the provision in the Company's Articles of Incorporationgranting the directors the discretionary right to convert any class with a netasset value of less than $50 million. Strategy Performance For the six months ended 30 June 2014, the net asset value per share increasedby 6.6% in the U.S. Dollar class and 6.6% in the Sterling class. Amidst a volatile market environment, the Investment Manager posted positiveperformance results and the share price discount to NAV continued to narrowconsiderably. Weak performance during the First Quarter was driven primarily byweather-related negative market conditions in the United States. However, theInvestment Manager performed well in the Second Quarter and ended the firsthalf of the year positively positioned relative to several market benchmarks.After entering the year with relatively high exposure levels, the InvestmentManager has been steadily reducing exposures throughout 2014. Positive returns have been predominantly driven by strength in both thecorporate and structured credit portfolios in 2014, contributing nearly 25% and50% of fund returns, respectively, despite significantly less exposure relativeto equities. The Manager has also made several successful investments insovereign credit and continues to find attractive risk-adjusted opportunitiesto supplement a lackluster broader corporate credit environment. Despite a choppy equity market, the Investment Manager's equity portfolio inboth the United States and Latin America outperformed. Investments in theEnergy and Industrials sectors contributed meaningfully to returns whilepositions in the TMT space and in Japan detracted from performance. Risk Outlook The Investment Manager anticipates periods of market volatility during thesecond half of the year. As such, the Investment Manager will carefully monitormacroeconomic developments and search for compelling investment opportunitieswith attractive entry points. The Manager maintains a diversified portfolio,with exposure to long/short equity, credit, mortgage and macro investments. At 30 June 2014, exposure in the Investment Manager's portfolio across fourfunds and two managed accounts was as follows1: Long Short Net Equities 73.5% (11.3%) 62.2% Credit 34.8% (7.2%) 27.6% Macro 6.1% (7.9%) (1.8%) Other 2.7% 0.0% 2.7% Net equity exposure is defined as the long exposure minus the short exposure ofall equity positions (including long/short, arbitrage, and other strategies),and can serve as a rough measure of the exposure to fluctuations in overallmarket levels. The Investment Manager continues to closely monitor theliquidity of the portfolio, and is comfortable that the current composition isaligned with the redemption terms of the fund. The funds are hard closed aseffective July 1, 2011. 1 Relates to the Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P.

Wehave read the other information contained in the interim report and consideredwhether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies withthe information in the interim condensed financial statements. This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with guidance containedin ISRE 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial InformationPerformed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the AuditingPractices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept orassume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our work, for thisreport, or for the conclusions we have formed. Directors' Responsibilities The interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approvedby, the Directors.

Our Responsibility Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the UnauditedCondensed Interim Financial Statements in the Unaudited Condensed InterimReport based on our review. Scope of Review We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on ReviewEngagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial InformationPerformed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the AuditingPractices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financialinformation consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible forfinancial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other reviewprocedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted inaccordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) andconsequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become awareof 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 tobelieve that the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements in theUnaudited Condensed Interim Report for the six months ended 30 June 2014 arenot prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States and the Disclosure andTransparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.

The Master Fundis managed by the Investment Manager and the Investment Manager'simplementation of the Master Fund's investment policy is the main driver of theCompany's performance. The Master Fund is a limited partner of Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P.(the "Master Partnership"), an exempted limited partnership organised under thelaws of the Cayman Islands, of which Third Point Advisors II L.L.C., anaffiliate of the Investment Manager, is the general partner. Third Point LLC isthe Investment Manager to the Company, the Master Fund and the MasterPartnership. The Master Fund and the Master Partnership share the sameinvestment objective, strategies and restrictions as described above.

Investment Manager The Investment Manager is a Limited Liability Company formed on 28 October 1996under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Investment Manager was appointedon 27 June 2007 and is responsible for the management and investment of theCompany's assets on a discretionary basis in pursuit of the Company'sinvestment objective, subject to the control of the Company's Board and certainborrowing and leveraging restrictions.

If a particular seriesinvested in the Master Fund depreciates during any fiscal year and duringsubsequent years there is a profit attributable to such series, the series mustrecover an amount equal to 2.5 times the amount of depreciation in the prioryears before the Investment Manager is entitled to the Full Incentive Fee.Until this occurs, the series will be subject to a reduced incentive fee equalto half of the Full Incentive Fee. The Company was allocated US$14,271,596 (30June 2013: US$21,671,621) of incentive fees for the period ended 30 June 2014. 3. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation These Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared inaccordance with relevant accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America ("US GAAP"). The functional and presentational currency ofthe Company is United States Dollars. The Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not include all theinformation and disclosures opined in the Annual Financial Statements andshould be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Financial Statements asat 31 December 2013. The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company: Cashand Cash Equivalents Cash in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities comprises cash at bank and onhand. Usually this is short term cash that settles between 0-3 months. Valuation of Investments The Company records its investment in the Master Fund at fair value. Inaccordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") AccountingStandards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement" defines fairvalue as the price the Company would receive upon selling a security in atimely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or mostadvantageous market of the security. For further information refer to theMaster Partnership's Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements. The valuation of securities held by the Master Partnership, which the MasterFund directly invests in, is discussed in the notes to the Master Partnership'sUnaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements. The net asset value of theCompany's investment in the Master Fund reflects its fair value. At 30 June2014, the Company's US Dollar and Sterling shares represented 12.98% and 0.94%(31 December 2013: 12.56% and 1.01%) respectively of the Master Fund's NAV. Uncertainty in Income Tax ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" requires the evaluation of tax positions taken orexpected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns todetermine whether the tax positions are "more- likely-than-not" of beingsustained by the applicable tax authority based on the technical merits of theposition. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not thresholdwould be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the year of determination.Management has evaluated the implications of ASC 740 and has determined that ithas not had a material impact on these Unaudited Condensed Interim FinancialStatements. Income and Expenses The Company records its proportionate share of the Master Fund's income,expenses and realised and unrealised gains and losses on a monthly basis. Inaddition, the Company accrues interest income, to the extent it is expected tobe collected, and other expenses. Use of Estimates The preparation of Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements inconformity with US GAAP (relevant accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America) may require management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statementsand accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Otherthan what is underlying in the Master Fund and the Master Partnership, theCompany does not use any estimates in respect of amounts that are material tothe Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements. Foreign Exchange Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreigncurrencies are translated into United States Dollars using exchange rates atthe reporting date.

Any increase or decrease in the NAV of the Master Fund, as calculatedby the Master Fund, is allocated to the relevant class account in the Companyaccording to the number of shares held by each class. Each class account isallocated those costs, expenses, losses, dividends, profits, gains and incomewhich the Directors determine in their sole discretion relate to a particularclass. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole rather than specificclasses are allocated to each class in the proportion that its NAV bears to theCompany as a whole.

B Shares also carry the right tovote at general meetings of the Company. As prescribed in the Company's Articles, each Shareholder present at generalmeetings of the Company shall, upon a show of hands, have one vote. Upon apoll, each Shareholder shall, in the case of a separate class meeting, have onevote in respect of each Share or B Share held and, in the case of a generalmeeting of all Shareholders, have one vote in respect of each US Dollar Shareor US Dollar B Share held, and two votes in respect of each Sterling Share orSterling B Share held. Fluctuations in currency rates will not affect therelative voting rights applicable to the Shares and B Shares. In addition allof the Company's Shareholders have the right to vote on all material changes tothe Company's investment policy. Repurchase of Shares and Discount Control The Directors of the Company were granted authority to purchase in the marketup to 14.99 per cent of each class of Shares in issue at the Annual GeneralMeeting on 6 June 2014, and they intend to seek annual renewal of thisauthority from Shareholders. The Directors propose to utilise this sharerepurchase authority to address any imbalance between the supply of and demandfor shares. Pursuant to the Director's share repurchase authority, the Company,through the Master Fund, commenced a share repurchase program in December 2007.The Shares are being held by the Master Partnership. The Master Partnership'sgains or losses and implied financing costs related to the shares purchasedthrough the share purchase programme are entirely allocated to the Company'sinvestment in the Master Fund. The Master Partnership has an ownership of10.79% of the shares outstanding at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: 11.15%). Inaddition, the Company, the Master Fund, the Investment Manager and itsaffiliates have the ability to purchase Shares in the after-market at any timethe Shares trade at a discount to NAV. During the period ended 30 June 2014,the Master Partnership sold 135,000 USD shares in the Company at a price of$17.10 which was at discount to NAV of approximately 3%. At 30 June 2014 and 31 December 2013 the Master Fund held the following Sharesin the Company in the after-market: Number of Average Cost30 June 2014 Currency shares Cost per Share US Dollar Shares USD 5,329,753 US$57,172,498 US$10.73 Number of Average Cost31 December2013 Currency shares Cost per Share US Dollar Shares USD 5,464,753 US$58,389,679 US$10.68 Further issue of Shares Under the Articles, the Directors have the power to issue further shares on anon-pre-emptive basis. If the Directors issue further Shares, the issue pricewill not be less than the then-prevailing estimated weekly NAV per Share of therelevant class of Shares. Share Conversion Scheme The Company's Articles incorporate provisions to enable shareholders of any oneClass of Ordinary Shares to convert all or part of their holding into any otherCurrency Class of Ordinary Share on a monthly basis. Upon conversion acorresponding number of B Shares will be converted in a similar manner. If the aggregate NAV of any Currency Class at any month-end falls below theequivalent of US$50 million, the Shares of that Class may be convertedcompulsorily into Shares of the Currency Class with the greatest aggregatevalue in US Dollar terms at the time. Each conversion will be based on NAV(Note 8) of the share classes to be converted. On 7 February 2014, the Directors announced that as at 31 January 2014 theaggregate NAV attributable to the Euro share class of the Company was €9.7million, equivalent to US$13.2 million at the prevailing exchange rate as atthat date. The aggregate NAV of the Euro share class has been below US$50million continuously since July 2011. The Directors therefore resolved, inaccordance with the Articles, to convert all the Euro class shares in issueinto US Dollar class shares (the "Euro Conversion"). The Directors consideredthat the Euro Conversion was in the best interest of shareholders of the Euroshare class and the Company as a whole. Shareholders who had their Euro sharesconverted into US Dollar shares benefited from holding shares in asignificantly larger share class offering higher levels of liquidity. TheCompulsory Conversion of Euro class shareholders took place on 26 February 2014and the Euro class shares ceased to exist on 3 April 2014 and were removed fromthe Official List on the same day. 7. Taxation The Fund is exempt from taxation in Guernsey under the provisions of the IncomeTax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance 1989. 8. Calculation of Net Asset Value The NAV of the Company is equal to the value of its total assets less its totalliabilities. The NAV per Share of each class is calculated by dividing the NAVof the relevant class account by the number of Ordinary Shares of the relevantclass in issue on that day. 9. Related Party Transactions At 30 June 2014 other investment funds owned by or affiliated with theInvestment Manager owned 5,630,444 (31 December 2013: 5,630,444) US DollarShares in the Company. 10. Significant Events On 7 February 2014 the Directors announced the compulsory Euro share classconversion into USD share class. The Financial Conduct Authority's new restrictions on the retail distributionof non-mainstream pooled investments came into effect on 1 January 2014.
