Interim Management Statement

Temple Bar Investment Trust Plc                        

                         Interim Management Statement                          
                      for the quarter ended 31 March 2014                      

Objective

The Company's investment objective is to provide growth in income and capital
to achieve a long term total return greater than the benchmark FTSE All-share
Index, through investment primarily in UK securities. The Company's policy is
to invest in a broad spread of securities with typically the majority of the
portfolio selected from the constituents of the FTSE 350 Index.

Material Events and Transactions

During the quarter to March 2014, Temple Bar achieved an NAV total return of
0.6%. This compares with a total return of capital and income from the FTSE
All-Share Index of -0.6%. Temple Bar's long term track record remains very
good, having delivered a share price total return of 218.5% over the 10 years
to 31 March 2014 compared with a 128.7% return for the FTSE All-Share Index.

Despite disappointing earnings growth and high equity valuations investors
appear more nervous of missing market gains than having exposure to losses.
Confidence in Central Banks to do the right thing (whatever that is) remains
high and in our opinion markets continue to price in a best-case scenario with
little regard for the tail risks which we believe remain as significant as
ever.

As usual, portfolio activity mainly consisted of selling stocks such as
Vodafone and Signet Jewelers, which had performed well and reinvesting the
proceeds in a variety of laggards such as BP, HSBC, and Royal Dutch Shell. A
significant amount of cash and cash equivalents are held in the portfolio
awaiting more attractive investment opportunities.

A final dividend of 22.65p per share was paid on 31 March 2014 to shareholders
on the register as at 14 March 2014. The total payment for the year ended 31
December 2013 was 37.75p per share.
