TP10 VCT plc ("the Company") is a Venture Capital Trust ("VCT"). The Investment Manager is Triple Point Investment Management LLP. The Company was launched in November 2009 and raised £28.6 million (net of expenses) through an offer for subscription which closed on 31 May 2010.
Chairman's Statement
I am writing to you to present the unaudited Interim Financial Report for TP10 VCT plc ("the Company") for the 6 months ended 31 August 2012.
Building the Portfolio
We are pleased to announce that during the period the Company secured its VCT qualifying status by satisfying the test of being 70% invested in VCT qualifying investments. Qualifying and non-qualifying unquoted investments now represent 99% of net assets, completing the portfolio's construction ahead of the investment strategy's target date.
In selecting the qualifying investments, we have been able to take advantage of a number of attractive opportunities. These include renewable electricity generated from roof mounted solar photovoltaic panels (investments which will benefit from long-term, index linked revenues) and cinema digitisation yielding high quality, predictable cash flows.
More information on the Company's investment portfolio is given in the Investment Manager's Review.
Net Asset Value
With the portfolio now established, loan interest from the investments has exceeded running costs and the Company made a profit of 0.09p per share for the six month period. At 31 August 2012 the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share stood at 88.15p (91.37p per share: 29 February 2012). The reduction in the NAV was due to the payment of the dividend of 3.31p on 10 August 2012 less the profit of 0.09p for the six month period.
Principal Risks
The Board believes that the principal risks facing the Company are:
·; investment risk associated with the VCT's portfolio of unquoted investments;
·; failure to maintain approval as a qualifying VCT.
The Board believes these risks are manageable and, with the Investment Manager, continues to work to minimise either the likelihood or potential impact of these risks within the scope of the Company's established investment strategy. Further details of how these risks are managed are detailed within the Directors' Report.
Dividends
On 10 August 2012 the Company paid its first dividend of £1 million equal to 3.31p per share.
Outlook
Having secured its VCT qualifying portfolio and status, the Board is confident in its outlook and believes the Company is well placed to deliver returns to shareholders over the longer term.
If you have any queries or comments, please do not hesitate to telephone Triple Point Investment Management LLP on 020 7201 8989.

Investment Manager's Review
During the period the Company continued to build its portfolio of VCT qualifying investments. It invested a further £8 million, increasing the VCT qualifying portfolio to 86% of net assets. This investment programme means the requirement of being 70% invested in qualifying investments has been satisfied a year ahead of the target date.
The portfolio of qualifying investments is split between 25 companies across cinema digitisation, project management, and electricity generation from solar PV, anaerobic digestion and landfill gas.
Each of these investments meets Triple Point's investment criteria, with projected revenues generated by good quality counterparties and the potential for attractive returns. Investments in each sector have been subject to rigorous selection criteria, including extensive due diligence and technical assessment.
Sector Analysis
The investment portfolio can be analysed as follows:

Industry Sector | Cinema Digitisation | Hydro Project Management | Solar PV | Anaerobic Digestion | Landfill | Finance | Total Unquoted Investments |
£'000 | £'000 | £'000 | £'000 | £'000 | £'000 | £'000 | |

VCT Portfolio Review
Solar PV
The investments in companies that own roof-mounted residential solar PV panels continue to provide steady, yet strong, cash flows. Over the past six months, the Government has announced further changes to the Feed-in Tariff regime for solar. However, as the Feed-in Tariff is a 'grandfathered' scheme, all existing solar installations, including those in which your Company has invested, remain unaffected by new regulation.
Cinema Digitisation
These businesses that deploy, maintain and operate digital equipment in cinemas in the UK and Continental Europe continue to perform in line with their objectives. Digital cinema projection conversion is paid for under the globally recognised Virtual Print Fee model, through which Film Studios pay for the cost of the deployment over a number of years. The majority of the revenues come from the six major investment grade Hollywood Studios. Film booking rates are significantly ahead of the base line projections which has built further headroom into the project. Looking ahead seven of the top ten films of 2012 are expected in this half of the year including Skyfall, the new Bond film, and Hobbit, which are both expected to generate further box office growth.
Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a tried and tested technology used to generate electricity from the production of biogas through the biological treatment of organic materials using naturally occurring organisms. Within the portfolio are three investments in small enterprises running projects to generate electricity from farm based AD. The projects are under way with the first of the three projects building up to full electricity output and all three energised and connected into the National Grid. The equipment used by these AD businesses is supplied by one of Europe's leading suppliers, EnviTec Biogas.
Landfill Gas
Landfill gas is recovered by drilling a series of wells into the waste in a grid pattern across a capped landfill site. The gas then powers generators and the electricity is exported to the Grid. The Company's portfolio contains two investments working on projects to generate electricity from landfill gas. The first of these investments is due to start generating electricity and be exporting to the Grid in January 2013.
Project Management
The portfolio also has an investment in a project management business managing the planning process and environmental impact studies for a portfolio of new small-scale hydro-electric power installations in Scotland. At present all applications are proceeding to plan, with the first expected to be submitted shortly and the remainder due during the first half of 2013. The business is also currently in discussions to secure an option on two additional sites.
Finance
Your VCT also invested £3.6 million into Broadpoint Limited, a finance company which provides short and medium term funding to businesses in the telecoms, cinema and renewable energy sectors.
Outlook
With the VCT qualifying portfolio now in place, our focus is on managing and monitoring the performance of the businesses in which the Company has invested. Although the economic outlook continues to be uncertain, we believe the Company's investment portfolio is well placed to deliver stable performance.
