Oakley Capital Investments Limited

("the Company")

Preliminary results for the six months ended 30 June 2016

Strong NAV performance; increase of 18.1% compared to H1 2015

Oakley Capital Investments Limited (AIM: OCL, "OCL"), the AIM-listed company established to provide investors with access to the investment strategy being pursued by Oakley Capital Private Equity Funds announces its preliminary results for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

·      Net asset value of £2.15 per share at 30 June 2016, an increase of 7.5% since 31 December 2015, and an increase of 18.1% compared to the 30 June 2015.

o  The 15p uplift in NAV per share is attributable to the strong performance of the Funds and favourable exchange rate movements following Brexit. The uplift was tempered by a fall in NAV per share of 7p, due to the post-IPO share price of Time Out.

·      On 14 June 2016, Time Out Group successfully listed on the public market. OCL received shares in Time Out Group representing a 24.2% ownership interest, worth £40.1million as at 30 June 2016.

·      In the post balance sheet period, Fund II reached an agreement to sell a partial stake in Parship Elite Group, in a deal that values the business at €300m, representing a 3.6x money multiple on Oakley's original investment and an IRR of approximately 150% in just 16 months, and lifts OCL's NAV per share by 9.4p.

·      During the period OCL made a capital commitment of €250 million to Fund III, which will execute the same proven strategy as Funds I and II.

Peter Dubens, Director, commented:

"Our investment strategy continues to generate strong returns for OCL.

Whilst Brexit created volatility, both positive and negative, at the period end, the underlying portfolio performance showed continued strength.  That was further reinforced by a very attractive return from the Parship Elite Group investment just after the period end.  We retain a highly valuable stake in the ongoing success of this business.

The Board of OCL is focused on long term value generation through both increasing NAV and via total shareholder returns"

Oakley Capital Private Equity L.P. ("Fund I"), its successor funds, Oakley Capital Private Equity II ("Fund II"),and Oakley Capital Private Equity III ("Fund III", together with Funds I and II, the "Funds"), are unlisted UK and European mid-market private equity funds with the aim of providing investors with significant long term capital appreciation. The investment strategy of the Funds is to focus on buy-out opportunities in industries with the potential for growth, consolidation and performance improvement.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to report that the six months ending 30 June 2016 has been a period of solid progress and growth for the Company.  The strong performance of the Funds' portfolio companies and weakening of Sterling since 31 December 2015 contributed to a net asset value ("NAV") per share increase of 15p since 31 December 2015 and 33p since 30 June 2015.

In June 2016, Time Out Group plc ("Time Out Group") was floated, raising £90 million (gross). As a result of the IPO, the Company transferred its co-investments in Time Out Markets and Flypay to Time Out Group which, together with its direct investment in Time Out Group, valued the Company's direct holding at £47.2m million at the IPO price. The Company has further, indirect, exposure to Time Out Group through its investment in Oakley Capital Private Equity L.P. ("Fund I").

In the post balance sheet period, Oakley Capital Private Equity II ("Fund II") announced it had reached agreement to sell a controlling stake in Parship Elite Group, one of its portfolio companies, at a 3.6x money multiple, including the value of its retained interest.  The sale is expected to return cash proceeds of approximately €44 million to the Company.

The Company has a capital commitment of €188 million to Fund I of which 95% had been called at 30 June 2016, making Fund I fully invested. During the first half of 2016, Fund I's fully owned subsidiary, Broadstone Holdco (Bermuda) Limited, sold its investment in Broadstone Finance Limited ("Broadstone"). The proceeds were receivable as at 30 June 2016.

The Company has a capital commitment of €200 million to Fund II, of which 57% had been called at 30 June 2016. At the date of this statement, 65% of commitments have been called and 91% of commitments have been deployed, making Fund II also essentially fully invested.

The Company also made a capital commitment of €250 million to Fund III during the six month period, of which 3% had been called at 30 June 2016. Fund III had no investments as at 30 June 2016.

PERFORMANCE

The net asset value per share as at 30 June 2016 was £2.15, an increase of 7.5% since 31 December 2015, and an increase of 18.1% compared to the 30 June 2015. Of the 15p uplift in net asset value per share since 31 December 2015, 13p is attributable to the weakening of Sterling during the six month period ending 30 June 2016. The strong performance of the Fund's portfolio companies contributed to an uplift of 9p which was partly offset by a fall in net asset value per share of 7p due to the post-IPO share price of Time Out Group plc, which fell in the wake of the Brexit vote.

The Company's net asset value increased by £25.3 million from £382.2 million at 31 December 2015 to £407.5 million at 30 June 2016.  Of the total net asset value as at June 2016, £59.5 million represents the fair value of its investment in Fund I, £125.9 million represents the fair value of its investment in Fund II, £4.5 million represents the fair value of its investment in Fund III and £110.4 million represents quoted and unquoted debt and equity securities provided directly to a number of the Funds' portfolio companies.

The Company also provided short-term revolving credit facilities to Fund I, Fund II, Oakley Capital GP II Limited ("GP II"), the general partner of Fund II and Oakley Capital GP III Limited ("GP III"), the general partner of Fund III.  As at 30 June 2016, an aggregate of £20.2 million of principal was outstanding under these facilities.

The remaining balance of £86.9 million was held by the Company as cash and cash equivalents and other net assets.

Whilst historically the Company has not generally invested directly in the Funds' portfolio companies, other than by the provision of debt finance, it is possible to "look through" each Fund to understand the impact of the performance of those portfolio companies on the investment values attributed to each Fund held by the Company.

From an investment portfolio perspective, the fair value of the Company's investment in Fund I increased during the reporting period from £56.3 million to £59.5 million as a result of FX movements, driven by the weakness in Sterling, and offsetting the underlying decline in the NAV of Fund I over the period, due to the fall in Time Out Group's share price. Fund I disposed of its investment in Broadstone during the reporting period and realised proceeds of €3.7 million for Fund I with expected deferred proceeds receivable of €5.4 million.

The fair value of the Company's investment in Fund II also increased during the period, from £102.1 million to £125.9 million.  The main drivers for this increase was an uplift in fair value arising from improved trading performances in a number of Fund II's underlying portfolio companies and the weakening of Sterling over the reporting period.

During the period, the Company made follow on equity co-investments in Time Out Mercado Limited ("Time Out Mercado") and Time Out Group HC Limited totalling £6.6 million.

On 14 June 2016, Time Out Group HC Limited completed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") and listed its shares on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM"). On completion of the IPO and listing on AIM, Time Out Group HC Limited was re-registered as a public limited company and re-named Time Out Group plc. Immediately prior to the IPO, Time Out Group HC Limited re-organised its share capital into a single class of ordinary shares. Upon the re-organisation, Fund I received shares, through its fully owned subsidiaries, representing a 34.9% ownership interest in Time Out Group plc. The Company received shares in Time Out Group plc as repayment of loans to the Time Out Group companies and ordinary and preference shares held in Time Out Mercado, Flypay Limited ("Flypay") and Time Out Group HC Limited. The shares received by the Company represents a 24.2% ownership interest in Time Out Group plc. As at 30 June 2016, Time Out Group plc share price as quoted on the AIM was £1.28 and the investment held directly by the Company had a market value of £40.1 million.

In addition to its investments in the Funds and Co-investments, the Company has provided debt finance directly to a number of the Funds' portfolio companies. During the period, the Company provided debt financing of £5.2 million to Parship GmbH ("Parship") and follow on debt financing to North Sails Apparel BV ("North Sails Apparel") of £10 million.

As part of the disposal of Broadstone by Fund I, the Company's loan to Broadstone of £11.2 million, including accrued interest, was repaid in full. During the period, the Company also received proceeds of £6.7 million as repayment for debt financing provided to Bellwood Limited and Damovo Holdco Limited ("Damovo").

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

On 27 July 2016 Facile completed a refinancing of the business, raising a further €12.0 million of senior debt from its existing lenders. Together with excess cash, this resulted in a distribution to Limited Partners of €11.8 million. The Company received €4.5 million, representing 2.3% of commitments.

On 5 September 2016 it was announced that Fund II has reached an agreement to sell a controlling stake in Parship Elite Group, a leading online dating service in the German-speaking world, to ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE ("ProSiebenSat.1"), with Fund II and existing management retaining stakes totalling just under 50% of Parship Elite Group.

The transaction values the Company's indirect economic interest in Parship Elite Group at €67 million, including its expected net cash returns of approximately €44 million. This will result in an expected uplift of £25 million (77%) over the carrying value reported on 31st December 2015, equivalent to a 9.4 pence per share increase to the interim NAV previously announced for this reporting period.

This deal means that, since the initial acquisition 16 months ago, the equity investment has generated a 2.3x cash return and a money multiple of 3.6x overall, including Fund II's retained stake in the Group. In addition the Company provided £5.2 million of debt to Parship Elite Group, which is to be repaid as part of the transaction.

FINANCIAL REPORT

 

THE COMPANY AND THE FUNDS

The Company currently achieves its investment objective primarily through its investments in three private equity funds (the "Funds"):

-     Oakley Capital Private Equity L.P. ("Fund I"), , 

-     Oakley Capital Private Equity II-A L.P., which together with Oakley Capital Private Equity II-B L.P., Oakley Capital Private Equity II-C L.P. (collectively the "Fund II Feeder Funds") and OCPE II Master L.P. ("Fund II Master") comprise Oakley Capital Private Equity Fund II ("Fund II"), and

-     Oakley Capital Private Equity III-A L.P., which together with Oakley Capital Private Equity III-B L.P., Oakley Capital Private Equity III-C L.P. (collectively the "Fund III Feeder Funds") and OCPE III Master L.P. ("Fund III Master") comprise Oakley Capital Private Equity Fund III ("Fund III").

The Funds are unlisted private equity funds established in Bermuda, which invest primarily in UK and European mid-market businesses with the aim of providing investors with significant long-term capital appreciation.

Oakley Capital (Bermuda) Limited (the "Manager"), a Bermudian company, acts as adviser and arranger to the Company and as the manager of Fund I. Oakley Capital Limited (the "Investment Adviser") acts as investment adviser to the Manager with respect to the Company, as the investment adviser to the Manager with respect to Fund I, and as the investment adviser to the general partner of the constituent limited partnerships of Fund II and Fund III.

The Investment Adviser is primarily responsible for advising the Manager (as the manager of Fund I), GP II (as general partner of the constituent limited partnerships of Fund II) and Oakley PE Management (Bermuda) Limited (as the manager of fund III) on the investment and realisation of the assets of Fund I, Fund II and Fund III respectively.

The Funds' investment strategy is to invest in sectors that are growing or where consolidation is taking place. Within the core sector interests, the Funds invest in both performing and under-performing businesses, supporting buy and build strategies, businesses encountering rapid growth, or businesses undergoing significant operational or strategic change. Investing in a diverse range of portfolio companies, the Funds' objective is to work proactively with the portfolio companies' management teams, together with other stakeholders, in order to create substantial shareholder value.

The Funds look to acquire a controlling interest in companies with an enterprise value of between £20 million and £100 million, although companies with a lower enterprise value are considered where the Investment Adviser believes that anticipated returns justify the investment. The Funds aim to deliver in excess of 25% gross internal rate of return (IRR) per annum on investments. The life of each Fund is expected to be approximately 10 years, including a five year investment period.

MARKET BACKGROUND AND OUTLOOK

The Brexit vote, a week prior to the period end, resulted in some initial shock and adverse market sentiment. Sterling fell to 1.1965 against the Euro by 30 June 2016. With a significant majority of the company's investments denominated in Euros, the depreciation of sterling has had a positive impact on the NAV of the Company.

The rapid formation of a new government with Theresa May as Prime Minister, has helped to stabilise UK markets, but post- referendum uncertainty still remains in the UK economy. Significant challenges lie ahead for the new government as it navigates Europe's reaction to Brexit and begins negotiations. A number of the Fund's portfolio companies have limited direct involvement in the UK and their business activities have remained relatively sheltered from any Brexit influence.  

SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

The total value of all investments held by the Company increased by £46.7 million from £273.9 million at 31 December 2015 to £320.6 million at 30 June 2016. Of the increase, £31.5 million represents an increase in the fair value of its investments in the Funds, and new quoted equity securities in Time Out Group account for £40.1 million which replaced previous investments in unquoted equity securities of £25.9 million and loan investments of £7.2 million and additional investments in the period pre-IPO of £8.6 million.

The exchange rates used by the Company as at 30 June 2016 were a GBP:USD exchange rate of 1.3254 and a GBP:EUR exchange rate of 1.1965

Loans comprised mezzanine and senior finance loans to certain of the Funds' portfolio companies.

The fair value of the Company's investment in Fund I increased by £3.2 million in first half of 2016 mainly due to foreign exchange movements.

The fair value of the Company's investment in Fund II increased by £23.8 million in first half of 2016.  This was mainly due to increases in the values of the underlying portfolio businesses following strong performances.

During the first half of 2016, the Company made a capital commitment to Fund III of €250 million (£208.9 million). As at 30 June 2016, Fund III had not made any investments.

The quoted equity securities of £40.1 million relate to the Company's shares held in Time Out Group plc. The shares held represents a 24.2% ownership interest in Time Out Group plc.

The unquoted equity securities realised during the reporting period relates to co-investments in Time Out Group HC, Time Out Mercado and Flypay. As part of the Time Out IPO, the Company transferred its preference shares and ordinary shares held in Time Out Mercado and its preference shares held in Flypay and Time Out Group HC Limited in exchange for ordinary shares in Time Out Group plc.

Loans comprised of mezzanine, senior and financing loans to certain of the Funds' portfolio companies and short-term revolving credit facilities provided to Fund I, Fund II Master, GP II and GP III, thereby ensuring that un-invested cash continues to work for the Company, earning a positive return. At 30 June 2016 the total value of loans outstanding was £90.6 million.

Within the senior loan portfolio, a facility was provided to North Sails Apparel of £20.0 million which was fully drawn at 30 June 2016, including £10 million drawn in the period. The loan carries interest of 8% per annum and matures in May 2019.

As part of the Time Out IPO, senior and mezzanine loans provided by the Company to Time Out MC LLC and Time Out Group BC Limited were repaid with shares in Time Out Group plc.

As part of the disposal of Broadstone by Fund I, the Company's loan to Broadstone of £11.2 million (£6.0 million principal plus accrued interest) was repaid in full. During the period, the Company also received proceeds of £6.7 million as repayment for debt financing provided to Bellwood Limited and Damovo.

The Company provides revolving credit facilities to Fund I and Fund II Master.  Each drawing under these facilities is generally for a term of six months at an interest rate of 6.5% per annum.  The loans are used by the Funds to fund short-term cash requirements. As at 30 June 2016, the principal amount available under the revolving credit facility for Fund I was £5.0 million, of which £0.5 million had been drawn down, and the principal amount available under the revolving credit facility for Fund II Master was £15.0 million, of which £3.6 million has been drawn down.

The total decrease in the fair value of the portfolio companies of Fund I for the six months ended 30 June 2016 was €10.6 million. The change in values of the portfolio companies is attributable to two key factors:

Fund II made a follow on investment of €3.2 million in the North Sails Group ("North Sails"). 

·            Increase of €44.1 million as a result of a net increase to the fair values of the underlying portfolio companies of Fund II held at 30 June 2016:

The portfolio companies generally performed very strongly, in particular Parship, resulting in significant increases in fair value as shown in the above table.

Foreign exchange movements account for the change in the fair value of Daisy Group Limited ("Daisy") and North Sails.

a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance contained within Topic 946 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c) Investment valuation

Funds

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis based on the capital drawdown and distribution dates for proceeds received from the Funds. The Company's investment in each Fund is valued at the balance of the Company's capital account in that Fund as at the reporting date. Any difference between the net capital invested and the balance on the Company's capital account in each Fund is recognised in the net change in unrealised appreciation and depreciation on investments in the Statements of Operations.

The Funds value their investments at fair value and recognise gains and losses on security transactions using the specific cost method.

Unquoted equity securities

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Subsequent to initial recognition the securities are valued on a fair value basis.

Realised and unrealised gains and losses are determined by the specific cost method and are reflected in the Statements of Operations.

Unquoted debt securities (mezzanine loans, senior loans and revolving loan facilities)

Mezzanine loans, senior loans, finance loans and revolving loan facilities are initially valued at the price the loan was granted. Subsequent to initial recognition the loans are valued on a fair value basis taking into account market conditions and the operating performance and financial condition of the borrower.

Realised gains and losses are recorded when the acquired security is subsequently realised. The net realised gains and losses on sale of securities are determined using the specific cost method and are reflected in the Statements of Operations.

The Company is subject to the provisions of the FASB guidance on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC 820).  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritises and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active market quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring their fair value.

The hierarchy of inputs is summarised below.

·      Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

·      Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates,    prepayment speeds, credit spreads, etc.)

·      Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Investment Adviser's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs and methodologies used in valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

Securities traded on a national stock exchange are valued at the last reported price on the valuation date and are categorised as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, the Company may value these securities at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Investment Adviser.

Level 2 securities are valued using representative brokers' prices, quoted prices for similar investments, published reports or third-party valuations.

Level 3 securities are valued at the discretion of the Investment Adviser. In these circumstances, the Investment Adviser will use consistent fair valuation criteria and the Company may obtain independent appraisals.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

d) Income recognition

Interest income and expenses are recognised on the accruals basis.

e) Foreign currency translation

Investments and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into British Pound amounts at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Capital drawdowns and proceeds of distributions from the Fund and foreign currencies and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into British Pound amounts at the exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions.

Foreign exchange gains and losses on other monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in net realised and unrealised gain or loss on foreign exchange in the Statements of Operations.

The Company does not isolate unrealised or realised foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investments. All such foreign exchange gains and losses are included with the net realised and unrealised gain or loss on investments in the Statements of Operations.

f) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term deposits with a maturity of 90 days or less as equivalent to cash.

(g)   Treasury stock

Treasury shares are included at cost as a reduction in shareholder's equity.  Gains or losses resulting from the subsequent sale of treasury shares are recorded as an adjustment to equity.

3. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following:

	Unaudited 6 months ended 30 June 2016 £	Unaudited 6 months ended 30 June 2015 £	Audited year ended 31 December 2015 £
Cash	45,717,153	156,496,589	67,296,902
Short-term deposits	35,223,480	222,536	28,223,037
Total cash and cash equivalents	80,940,633	156,719,125	95,519,939

4. Management and performance fees

(a)        The Company has entered into a Management Agreement with the Manager to manage the Company's investment portfolio. The Manager does not receive a management fee from the Company in respect of funds either committed or invested by the Company in the Funds or any successor fund managed by the Manager. The Manager does receive a management fee at the rate of 1% per annum in respect of assets that are not committed to the Funds or any successor fund (but including the proceeds of any realisations), which are invested in cash, cash deposits or near cash deposits and a management fee at the rate of 2% per annum in respect of those funds which are invested directly in co-investments. The management fee is payable monthly in arrears.

As part of the Company's investment in Fund III, the Company agreed to pay Oakley PE Management (Bermuda) Limited, the Manager of  Fund III, an option fee of €1,500,000 to secure the option to increase the Company's commitment in Fund III by an additional €150,000,000 at any time on or prior 31 December 2016. The option fee is included in management fees for the period ending 30 June 2016.

During the period ended 30 June 2016, the Company incurred management fees of £2,304,173 (30 June 2015: £888,534; 31 December 2015: £5,175,574). During October 2015, the Company undertook a review of management fees paid to the Manager since inception.  Following such review, it was determined that management fees had been underpaid by £2,797,887, primarily as a result of certain co-investments made by the Company being excluded from the management fee calculation or being included in the management fee calculation but charged at a rate of 1% instead of 2%.  This amount is included in the 31 December 2015 management fee expense of £5,175,574.

The Manager also receives a performance fee of 20% of the excess of the amount earned by the Company over and above an 8% per annum hurdle rate on any monies invested as a co-investment with the Funds. Any co-investment is treated as a segregated pool of investments by the Company. If the calculation period is greater than one year, the hurdle rate is compounded on each anniversary of the start of the calculation period for each segregated co-investment.

If the amount earned does not exceed the hurdle rate on any given co-investment, that co-investment is included in the next calculation so that the hurdle rate is measured across both co-investments. No previous payments of performance fee will be affected if any co-investment does not reach the hurdle rate of the return.  During the period ended 30 June 2016, the Company incurred performance fees of £606,701 (30 June 2015: £nil; 31 December 2015: £nil).

 (b)       The Manager has entered into an Investment Adviser Agreement with the Investment Adviser to advise the Manager on the investment of the assets of the Company. The Investment Adviser does not receive a management or performance fee from the Company. Any fees due to the Investment Adviser are paid by the Manager out of the management fees it receives from the Company.

5. Fair value of financial instruments

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Company's assets carried at fair value:

	30 June 2016 £	30 June 2015 £	31 December 2015 £
Investments in Securities	320,543,420	189,040,465	273,888,150

The instruments comprising investments in securities are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

The Company has investments in private equity limited partnerships. The investments are included at fair value based on the Company's balance of its capital account in each Fund. The valuation of non-public investments requires significant judgment by the Funds' investment adviser in consultation with the Funds' manager and/or general partner due to the absence of quoted market values, inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such investments. Private equity investments are valued initially based upon the transaction price. Valuations are reviewed periodically utilising available market data to determine if the carrying value of these investments requires adjustment. Such market data primarily includes observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued. A variety of additional factors are considered by the Funds' investment adviser, including, but not limited to, financing and sales transactions with third parties, current operating performance and future expectations of the particular investment, changes in market outlook and the third party financing environment. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuing unquoted private equity investments, the estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed and such differences may be material.

Unquoted equity investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition, the equity investments are valued on a fair value basis taking into account market conditions and the operating performance and financial condition of the investment.

Mezzanine loans, senior loans, finance loans and revolving loan facilities are valued at the principal amount for which the relevant loan was granted. For the purposes of these financial statements, the Investment Adviser conducted a fair value exercise of the loans taking into account market conditions and the operating performance and financial condition of the borrower to ensure that valuing the loans at their principal amount was not materially different to their fair values. Such fair values were determined based on a discounted cash flow valuation approach consistent with prior years. The discount rate used to value the mezzanine loans was 15%, the discount rate for the secured loans was 8.5% and the discount rate for the revolving loan facilities was 6.5%. A discount rate of 10% was used for the mezzanine and secured loans provided to Time Out (Bermuda) Limited and Time Out Group BC Limited. A discount rate of 6% was used for the financing loan provided to Bellwood Holdings Ltd, Broadstone and Parship. A discount rate of 5.7% was used for the financing loan provided to Damovo. A discount rate of 8% was used for the senior loan to North Sails. A discount rate of 6.5% was used for the financing loan provided to Daisy. A discount rate of 8% was used for the financing loan provided to Time Out Group HC Limited.

The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of the various levels as of the end of the period or the date of the change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
