CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Dear shareholder,

On behalf of the Board, it is a pleasure to write to you in our maiden annual report. We were delighted to welcome such a broad range of shareholders to the register on IPO. Since launch we have been busy implementing our strategy by identifying, investigating, and investing in Energy Efficiency Projects in the UK, and in doing so, contributing towards the transition to a low carbon economy and assisting in the acceleration of the UK achieving its net-zero targets.

Investment Activity

In March 2021 we successfully completed our first investments into the target Combined Heat and Power assets identified at IPO. The transactions were structured differently from that indicated in the IPO prospectus, such that the Company, via its holding company TEEC Holdings, provided £21 million of senior debt finance to Harvest Generation Services Limited (" Harvest ") and Glasshouse Generation Limited (" Glasshouse "), rather than acquiring the associated equity interests. The Board considered this to be an attractive investment which not only generates a return within the target range but also provides a greater level of security.

Harvest and Glasshouse provided attractive first investments for us, being high quality assets, which are significantly more efficient than the engines they replaced. The new engines are almost 90% efficient (90% of the fuel energy is converted into electricity and hot water) and are less carbon intensive. The investments are a great example of the Company's focus on building a diversified portfolio of energy efficiency assets with a positive environmental impact.

We are pleased to report that since the period end, the Group completed a £8.032 m illion senior debt investment in an operational Combined Heat and Power (" CHP ") Energy Centre, Spark Steam Limited (" Spark Steam "). Spark Steam fully provides tomato grower APS Salads with its heat and electricity requirements, as well as supplying carbon dioxide produced by the CHP+ system to enhance crop yields. The transaction follows on from similar investments this year in Harvest and Glasshouse, also CHP businesses supplying heat and power to APS Salads and managed by P3P Partners, illustrating the Company's approach to building scalable partnerships with leading developers and offtakers.

Pipeline

We continue to be highly focused on reaching full deployment of IPO proceeds. O ur Investment Manager continues to selectively target those opportunities that will deliver the greatest value to shareholders. Many opportunities are off-market projects that are not part of a competitive process and consequently can take longer to execute and ensure that the necessary robust due diligence is carried out. While this, among other factors, has slowed down deployment, we have every confidence that the remaining funds will be deployed in the short term and look forward to updating the market on the next investments.

The Company has circa £300 million of pipeline opportunities, including approximately £100 million of more immediate pipeline opportunities that the Investment Manager is actively progressing, of which approximately £ 26 million have signed heads of terms. The pipeline is spread across a diverse range of target sectors, including traditional power generation technologies such as hydroelectric power generation, combined heat and power, solar, onshore wind, anaerobic digestion and energy from waste. It also includes more emergent areas such as electric vehicle charging and fuel cells technologies.

We remain encouraged by the significant pipeline that the Company's investment strategy presents and look forward to our Investment Manager executing some exciting opportunities in the coming months.

For further details on the pipeline please see the Investment Manager's report.

Financial Results

This was the Company's inaugural financial year, and a shortened period. The NAV per share was 97.49 pence per share at 31 March 2021. The portfolio, consisting of two investments held via the Company's subsidiary TEEC Holdings, was valued at £20.88 million as at 31 March 2021 and the Company held cash of £76.55 million at the reporting date.

The Company made a loss before tax of £521k for the period, equal to 0.01 pence per share, resulting from costs incurred during the period and the first investments closing on 19 March 2021, with a minimal amount of income received.

The Company's annualised OCR was 1.07% As the Company enters a full financial year, we expect the OCR to increase proportionately in line with the operational costs of the Company. The Board will continue to monitor the OCR closely as we seek to grow the Company and deliver value to our shareholders.

Share Price and Distributions

Our share price has performed well and maintained a modest premium to NAV, reflective of our strong shareholder base since we launched as the first investment trust IPO post the Covid-19 hiatus in 2020. We continue to believe there is a significant market opportunity for energy efficiency investments and are confident that delivering on our outlined strategy will continue to support our share price performance. I am also pleased to announce, as indicated in the Prospectus, that the Company will pay its first interim dividend of 2.00 pence per share in respect of the period from IPO to 31 March 2021.

In future, the Board anticipates paying quarterly interim dividends, targeting total dividends of 5.50 pence per share ² for the year ending March 2022 underpinned by robust long-term contractual payments that are expected to be availability, government subsidy or savings based. This dividend target is an increase on the 5 pence per share set out in the Prospectus. As we maintain our focus on deploying our remaining capital in the short term, we will be equally focused on our ambition to fully cover our dividend by cash earnings as soon as practicable.

Notes:

² The dividend and return targets stated are Pound Sterling denominated returns targets only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that these targets will be met, and they should not be taken as an indication of the Company's expected future results.

Environmental, Social and Governance

The Investment Manager has long been an advocate of investing in sectors that have a positive social impact and has been aware of the value added by strong sustainability credentials and how they play a significant role in the long-term performance of investments. The Company is a direct product of this approach.

There is a global demand for sustainability, and it is at the heart of the Company's Investment Objectives, which also benefit from long-term contracted revenue from reliable counterparties. The Investment Manager continues to build and enhance our research and investment due diligence process to better assess the most material issues related to corporate sustainability each proposed investment may face. That work has informed our assessments and investment views and complements the broad framework for assessing ESG risks which the Investment Manager has developed. More information can be found in our sustainability report.

We are proud that, in October 2020, the Company was awarded the Green Economy Mark by the London Stock Exchange (" LSE "), which recognises listed companies and funds which derive 50% or more of their revenues from environmental solutions.

Outlook

Energy efficiency improvement opportunities are abundant and are often the cheapest and greenest energy resource that we have. Making our infrastructure more energy efficient and coming up with more efficient ways to structure and organise our society is perhaps the most important way we can reduce the UK's carbon dependency.

STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

The Board is responsible for the Company's Investment Objective and Investment Policy and has overall responsibility for ensuring the Company's activities are in line with such overall strategy. The Group's Investment Policy and Investment Objective are published below.

Investment Objective

The Company's Investment Objective is to generate a total return for investors comprising sustainable and growing income and capital growth.

Investment Policy

The Company intends to achieve its Investment Objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of energy efficiency investments in the United Kingdom. The term energy efficiency refers to assets or processes which reduce primary energy input for a given output, thereby reducing or eliminating energy waste. Energy efficiency is one of the cornerstones of the global drive to addressing the climate emergency. The cleanest or greenest energy is the energy that is never used - the projects and assets which deliver such savings are the focus of the Company.

The Group will invest in a range of assets which will contribute or are already contributing to energy efficiency in sub-sectors including electricity and heat generation, distribution and end user consumption, and which meet the following criteria:

• contribute towards demonstrable energy (and financial) savings over a "business as usual" scenario;

• are established technologies (the Group will not invest in unproven technologies);

• provide long-term contracts based predominantly on availability, government subsidy or savings-based contracts with high quality industrial, governmental, and corporate counterparties, including counterparties which represent multiple end-users; and

• entitle the Company to receive stable, predictable Pounds Sterling cash flows over the medium to long-term.

The Group's returns will typically take the form of contractual payments by counterparties in respect of equipment, usually installed at their premises (and which may provide index-linked, rental payments), as well as payments under off-take agreements in respect of energy generated and, where available, the Group will capitalise on government incentive programmes.

Contractual payments by counterparties are expected to be predominantly availability, government subsidy or savings-based. Availability payments will be receivable on the basis that the equipment is available and in suitable working order to deliver the applicable outputs; savings-based payments work by setting an agreed baseline for savings in KWhs up-front and are then ascribed a monetary value by applying the prevailing energy cost, with annual increases based on an agreed energy price index insulating the Company from any changes in the cost of energy.

The Group will invest predominantly in operational Energy Efficiency Projects. It will invest in either single assets or portfolios of multiple assets, via debt and/or equity structures. The Group may, under certain circumstances, invest in Energy Efficiency Projects that are in the development phase, the construction phase or the stabilisation phase, either directly or through funding of a third-party developer, where such investments will deliver an attractive risk adjusted return. In addition, the Group may invest in or acquire minority interests in companies with a strategy that aligns with the Company's overarching Investment Objective, such as developers, operators or managers of Energy Efficiency Projects, subject to the restrictions set out below.

In respect of each type of investment, the Group will seek to diversify its commercial exposure by contracting, where practicable, with a range of different equipment manufacturers, project developers and other service providers, as well as off-takers.

Investments may be acquired from a single or a range of vendors and the Group may also enter into joint venture arrangements alongside one or more co-investors, where the Group retains control or has strong minority protections.

Investment Restrictions

The Company will invest and manage its assets with the objective of spreading risk and, in doing so, will maintain the following investment restrictions:

• no single Energy Efficiency Project investment by the Group will represent more than 20% of GAV;

•the aggregate maximum exposure to any counterparty will not exceed 20% of GAV (and where an Energy Efficiency Project derives revenues from more than one source, the relevant counterparty exposure in each case shall be calculated by reference to the proportion of revenues derived from payments received from the counterparty, rather than any other source);

•the aggregate maximum exposure to Energy Efficiency Projects in the development phase and the construction phase will not exceed, in aggregate, 25% of GAV, provided that, the aggregate maximum exposure to projects in the development phase will not exceed 5% of GAV, and the aggregate exposure to any one developer will not exceed 10% of GAV;

•the Group will not invest more than 5% of GAV, in aggregate, in the acquisition of minority stakes in other related companies, and at all times such investments will only be made with appropriate minority protections in place;

• neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will invest in any UK listed closed-ended investment companies; and

•the Company will not conduct any trading activities which are significant in the context of the Group as a whole.

The investment restrictions set out above apply following full investment of the Net Proceeds and following the Group becoming substantially geared (meaning for this purpose borrowings by way of long-term structural debt of 20% of GAV being put in place).

Compliance with the above investment limits will be measured at the time of investment and non-compliance resulting from changes in the price or value of assets following investment will not be considered as a breach of the investment limits.

Gearing

The Directors intend to use gearing to enhance the potential for income returns and long-term capital growth, and to provide capital flexibility. However, the Company will always follow a prudent approach for the asset class with regards to gearing, and the Group will maintain a conservative level of aggregate borrowings.

Gearing will be employed at the level of the Company, at the level of any intermediate wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or at the level of the relevant Project SPV, and any limits set out in this document shall apply on a look-through basis. The Company's target medium term gearing for the Group will be up to 40% of GAV, calculated at the time of drawdown.

The Group may enter into borrowing facilities at a higher level of gearing at the intermediate subsidiary level or at the Project SPV level, provided that the aggregate borrowing of the Group shall not exceed a maximum of 45% of GAV, calculated at the time of drawdown.

Debt may be secured with or without a charge over some or all the Group's assets, depending on the optimal structure for the Group and having consideration to key metrics including lender diversity, cost of debt, debt type and maturity profiles. Intra-group debt between the Company and subsidiaries will not be included in the definition of borrowings for these purposes.

Use of Derivatives

The Group may use Derivatives for efficient portfolio management. The Group will only enter into hedging contracts (in particular, in respect of inflation, interest rates, power prices and commodity price hedging) and other derivative contracts when they are available in a timely manner and on acceptable terms. The Company reserves the right to terminate any hedging arrangement in its absolute discretion. Any such hedging transactions will not be undertaken for speculative purposes. The Company will not employ derivatives for investment purposes.

Cash Management

Whilst it is the intention of the Company to be fully or near fully invested in normal market conditions, the Company may hold cash on deposit and may invest in cash equivalent investments, which may include government issued treasury bills, money market collective investment schemes, other money market instruments and short-term investments in money market type funds ("Cash and Cash Equivalents").

There is no restriction on the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents that the Company may hold and there may be times when it is appropriate for the Company to have a significant Cash and Cash Equivalent position instead of being fully or near fully invested.

Changes to and compliance with the Investment Policy

Any material changes to the Company's Investment Policy set out above will require the approval of shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at a general meeting.

In the event of a breach of the investment guidelines and/or the investment restrictions set out above, the Investment Manager shall inform the Board as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of any breach. If the Board considers the breach to be material, notification will be made through an announcement via a Regulatory Information Service.

Business Model

The Company is a United Kingdom registered investment company and its Ordinary Shares trade on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company's investments are held indirectly via its sole direct subsidiary and main investment vehicle, TEEC Holdings Limited (" TEEC Holdings "), a limited company incorporated in England and wholly owned by the Company, (the Company and TEEC Holdings, together, the " Group "). TEEC Holdings is, itself, an investment entity and is therefore measured at fair value. Triple Point Investment Management LLP (the " Investment Manager ", " AIFM " or " TPIM ") and Hanway Advisory Limited (' 'Hanway ") are third party service providers appointed by the Company via, respectively, an investment management agreement and an administration and company secretarial services agreement.

Payments to Investee Companies will typically take the form of contractual payments by counterparties in respect of equipment, usually installed at their premises (and which may provide index-linked, rental payments), as well as payments under off-take agreements in respect of energy generated and, where available, the Group will capitalise on government incentive programmes.

The Company has a 31 March financial year end, announces full year results in June and half year results in December.

The Company intends to pay dividends quarterly, targeting payments in June, September, December and March each year ³ .

Notes:

³ Investors should note that references to "dividends" and "distributions" are intended to cover both dividend income and income which is designated as an interest distribution for UK tax purposes and therefore subject to the interest streaming regime applicable to investment trusts.

Investment Process

The Investment Manager has an extensive network of relationships which it leverages with the aim of delivering new potential investment opportunities.

The Investment Manager targets predominantly operational assets, either as single assets or portfolios of assets which, typically, have an existing operator in place. The Company has taken a conservative approach in applying the investment restriction limit on construction projects and, as such, whilst this limit does not become effective until such time as debt had been realised and IPO proceeds deployed, the Board has agreed the Company will apply an exposure limit on construction projects which assumes that debt has been put in place at 45% of GAV.

The Investment Manager considers Environmental, Social and Governance (" ESG ") factors when identifying investments. While considering the individual nature of a target asset, for example, the size and type of asset, region, operational environment and stage of project cycle, there are certain factors which the Investment Manager will also consider in order to understand the longevity of the value of an Energy Efficiency Project and its compatibility with the UK government's overall environmental targets moving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.

Specifically, the Investment Manager will be mindful of the following factors, as appropriate:

Environmental : greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and their creation, management and monitoring during build and asset life including climate risk analysis. Use, generation and intensity of energy, and the nature of the energy (e.g., renewable) along with water use and its pollution. Levels of waste generated, avoided and disposed of, approach to raw material sourcing and supply chain sustainability. Build impacts on biodiversity and habitat, understanding management and protection measures.

Social : quality and fit of an asset with a more sustainable economy, including relevance/ appropriateness to the locality. Good customer and stakeholder relations, including management of land rights and accessibility and social inclusion of access to the asset. Strong management and reporting of health and safety (during and after build) as well as sound labour management including staff wellbeing, diversity and inclusion practices, appropriate training, and presence of fair pay, including reassurance of the absence of modern slavery.

Governance : promotion of a corporate governance structure that is accountable and responsive to stakeholders, considering board structure, remuneration policy, ownership and accounting practices. Business ethics with evidence of best practice in approaches to tax policy, management of bribery and corruption risk, conflicts of interest and appropriate senior level ownership of ESG issues.

The Group may also finance the development or construction of new Energy Efficiency Projects in circumstances where the Investment Manager has identified an attractive opportunity which meets the Company's Investment Objective and the criteria set out in the Investment Policy.

The Board have overall responsibility for the management of the Company and oversee compliance with the Company's Investment Objective and Investment Policy. When any potential investment is identified by the Investment Manager, an initial due diligence/analysis on the investment opportunity is undertaken to verify that it meets the Company's Investment Objective and Investment Policy and is commercially sound.

The Investment Manager will be responsible for further business due diligence, while the appropriate financial, environmental, social, governance, tax, legal, technical and other due diligence processes may be conducted by third party firms and/or advisers under the supervision of the Investment Manager.

If the outcome of the initial due diligence/analysis process is positive, the Investment Manager seeks to agree indicative terms for the investment opportunity and seeks to enter into a period of exclusivity.

When the Investment Manager expects that an investment opportunity is likely to complete, it delivers to the Board, as soon as reasonably practicable, a report on the investment opportunity. The Report includes a written confirmation from the Investment Manager that the investment opportunity falls within the scope of the Investment Objective, Investment Policy and the Board's risk appetite. Any decision to proceed with the investment opportunity is the sole responsibility of the Investment Manager but is only made having taken account of observations and comments from the Board.

Where the Investment Manager intends to acquire projects from any of its other clients, the Investment Manager approaches the Board at the earliest opportunity to discuss any additional diligence or additional comfort, such as independent valuation or audits required. The Investment Manager does not execute an acquisition of any project from one of its other clients without prior Board approval.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT

Review of the Period

Since IPO in October 2020, the Group has begun implementing its strategy of investing in good quality Energy Efficiency Projects. As at the period end, we had deployed £21 million of the IPO proceeds and expect the remaining proceeds to be deployed well before the end of this calendar year.

Market Review

In November 2020, Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, announced the government's unambiguous 10-point plan for a green industrial revolution. Outlined in the plan is the government's vision to become a global leader in green technologies and details targets for different sectors including offshore wind, hydrogen, transport, carbon capture and buildings.

The plan also outlined ambitious funding plans, including £12 billion of Government investment to help create and support up to 250,000 green jobs. I t is vitally important that our recovery from the pandemic simultaneously grows the low carbon and climate resilient economy and t he announcement was a positive first step in that direction.

The month thereafter saw the publication of a body of mutually reinforcing policy announcements that would make clear the government's view on what is required to meet net zero:

The National Infrastructure Strategy (subtitled Faster, Greener, Fairer) signalled the creation of a new infrastructure bank to underpin the infrastructure revolution albeit with a clear mandate to crowd-in private capital.

That was followed by the Climate Change Committee's 6th Carbon Budget suggesting a "balanced net zero pathway" for a 78% reduction in carbon reductions from 1990 levels , by 2035, a recommendation that was subsequently enshrined in policy and rightly described as the "world's most ambitious climate change target". In their Carbon Budget, the Committee claimed that investment of up to £50bn per year would be required to afford the transition to net zero.

The long-awaited Energy White Paper - Powering our Net Zero Future was published in December.

The document builds on the Prime Minister's 10-point plan and the National Infrastructure Strategy to give 'further clarity on the Prime Minister's measures and puts in place a strategy for the wider energy system'.

Published just three days later, HM Treasury's Net Zero Interim Review considered "how the costs of achieving net zero emissions are distributed and the benefits returned… the fiscal impacts, risks of competitiveness effects and the impacts of decarbonisation across the whole economy" and "the full range of policy levers, including carbon pricing, taxes, financial incentives, public spending, regulation and information provision." The review concluded that much of the funding required could, and should, come from the private sector.

With the Heat and Buildings Strategy expected imminently, there is a unified and unifying policy tailwind being established after many years of comparative inaction with the UK demonstrating bona fide international leadership in a year that will draw to an end with its hosting of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).

Energy efficiency is now being recognised as a priority by governments and investors around the world.

The Company was deliberately conceived and developed against this backdrop. The Government's demonstrable support of the sector is both an endorsement of our strategy and an exciting catalyst of investable opportunities now and in the future.

Pipeline

Activity and competition around quality Energy Efficiency Projects remains strong, particularly as the wider sector is seen as a safe-haven in times of economic turmoil. We nevertheless have a good pipeline of opportunities, and have sufficient retained liquidity to take advantage of them.

The majority of that pipeline is comprised of projects seeking equity investments to afford the acquisition of operational or construction assets.

Users of energy, whether they be industrial, commercial or domestic, do not want or need electricity or fuel per se, they want or need the services that energy delivers. Shifting the focus onto the services required helps to reduce the total cost and total energy input to provide them, thereby reducing the absolute power input requirement from producers of energy.

We have also responded to a perceived gap in the market for flexible debt financing in some technology segments, for example where a developer wishes to retain an interest in an asset it has developed. The Company has circa £300 million of pipeline, including approximately £100 million of more immediate pipeline that the Investment Manager is actively progressing . The Company has £26 million of opportunities in heads of terms , including one large financing transaction which is in the final stages of due diligence.

We are also exploring significant opportunities in private wire/PPA backed solar rooftop opportunities. We believe this market is underserved by existing funding providers, and offers attractive risk adjusted returns through long term, indexed linked cashflows, rather than exposing investors to the volatility experienced in recent wholesale power markets. We continue to seek to develop framework agreements with developers to provide a consistent flow of high-quality proprietary pipeline opportunities, working with trusted construction and maintenance partners to reduce cost and enhance returns.

The Company has a strong pipeline of assets across a range of sub-sectors within its investment mandate . In assessing our pipeline, we remain cognisant of our investment restriction limits to construction projects, this is something the Board has carefully considered and is discussed in further detail below .

Investment

During the period, the Company closed its first investments, using proceeds raised at IPO. The Group provided secured loans to two companies, Harvest and Glasshouse, which both own and operate combined heat and power ("CHP+") energy centres. Under the terms of the investments, the Group provided an aggregate £21 million of senior debt finance, secured against Harvest and Glasshouse, the underlying assets, equipment, and contracts. The interest rate is 7.75% per annum, each loan carries a term of 10 years, and each loan is amortising over 14 years, with the residual amount to be repaid at maturity. Approximately 25% of the refinanced debt was held by a Company advised by the Investment Manager and therefore the transaction underwent detailed conflict procedures and arrangements to ensure the transaction was on an arms' length basis and at fair market value, in addition to being subject to Board approval.

Harvest and Glasshouse each own and operate energy centres which supply power, heat and carbon dioxide to the UK's leading tomato grower. The two projects consist of energy centres at adjacent growing sites on the Isle of Wight. The energy centres each contain two 5.5 MW Rolls-Royce gas engines, together with two 8MWth backup gas boilers (for use when the CHPs are down for maintenance or are not being run to exploit any differences between the input fuel costs and the wholesale power prices).

The projects derive their primary revenues from 20-year energy services agreements, which commenced in April 2016 (when the energy centres were commissioned) and expire in April 2036.

Gearing

At the reporting date, the Company had not utilised any gearing. Although, in the interests of capital efficiency and to enhance income returns and long-term capital growth, the Company expects to utilise gearing in the medium term and has a maximum gearing level of 45%

Environmental, Social and Governance

In October 2020 we were delighted that the Company was awarded the Green Economy Mark by the London Stock Exchange ("LSE"). The award recognises listed companies and funds which derive 50% or more of their revenues from environmental solutions.

In conjunction with the Board's endorsement, the Investment Manager has been developing its ESG integration policy for the Company's investments. Within this policy, the Investment Manager has set out principles which it will seek to incorporate throughout its business. Further, incorporated within the ESG integration policy, the Investment Manager has become a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment, committing to the principles set out therein to show dedication to strengthening environmental, social and governance considerations into its business.

Further detail on the Company's ESG approach to due diligence and investments can be found in the sustainability report.

Personnel Changes

In January 2021, Charles Herriott left the Investment Manager on good terms and was replaced by senior investment professional and Investment Director, Jonathan Hick. Jonathan brings with him a strong background in leading the investment process from origination and execution through to asset management in the clean technology and renewable energy sector. We welcome Jonathan and look forward to his support as we move closer to deploying the Company's IPO proceeds into high-quality assets. We also look forward to welcoming a new Fund Finance Director in June 2021 and a further new Investment Director in September 2021. These new hires reflect our ambition to grow our capabilities as being at the forefront of energy efficiency investing.

Financial Review

The Company applies IFRS 10 and qualifies as an investment entity. IFRS 10 requires that investment entities measure investments, including subsidiaries that are themselves investment entities, at fair value except for subsidiaries that provide investment services which are required to be consolidated.

The Company's single, direct subsidiary, TEEC Holdings, is the ultimate holding company for all the Company's investments.

It is, itself, an investment entity and is therefore measured at fair value.

Ongoing Charges

Ongoing charges, in accordance with the Association of Investment Companies' ("AIC") guidance, are defined as annualised ongoing charges (i.e., excluding acquisition costs and other non-recurring items) divided by the average published undiluted net asset value in the year.

Valuation

The Investment Manager is responsible for carrying out the fair market valuation of the Group's investments, this is presented to the Board for their consideration and comment in advance of formal approval. The valuation of the portfolio is to be carried out on a six-monthly basis as at 31 March and 30 September each year.

At the period end, the Company has made two debt investments into Harvest and Glasshouse totalling £21 million.

Investments made by the Company through TEEC Holdings are expected to be predominantly non-market traded investments, such that these investments are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the forecast investment cash flows from each project.

When valuing equity investments, the key macro-economic and fiscal factors expected to affect the forecast of each portfolio company's cash flows are inflation rates, interest rates, power price assumptions, and corporation tax rates. The Investment Manager makes forecast assumptions for each of these external metrics, based on market data and relevant economic forecasts where available.

The Investment Manager exercises judgement in assessing the expected future cash flows from each investment, based on the detailed financial models produced for each portfolio company and adjusting where necessary to reflect the broader macro-economic and fiscal assumptions as well as any specific operating assumptions that may be relevant to the individual projects.

The fair value for each investment is then derived from the application of an appropriate market discount rate. Due to the Company investing solely in projects based in the United Kingdom, there are no foreign exchange assumptions required. The discount rate used considers risks associated with the financing of an investment such as investment risks (e.g., liquidity, inflation, interest rate risks, market appetite) and any risks to the investment's earnings (e.g., predictability of the revenues and factors affecting these), all of which may be differentiated by the phase of the investment's life (e.g., in development/construction or in the operational phase).

The Investment Manager uses its judgement in arriving at the appropriate discount rate. This is based on its knowledge of the market, considering insights gained from its investment activities, discussions with its financial advisers and publicly available information on relevant transactions.

Outlook

As highlighted above, Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed in April 2021 that based on the CCC's recommendations the target , of reducing emissions by 78% by 2035, would be introduced and is planned to be enshrined into law by the end of June 2021. It continues to build on the UK's commitment to net zero, which will see the nation reduce emissions by 68% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

While we view these targets as ambitious, we believe they are necessary and achievable, and they present the Company with a great opportunity to assist in filling the delivery gap. Meeting the Budget's requirements will require all new cars, vans and replacement boilers to be zero-carbon in operation by the early 2030s. UK electricity production must then reach Net Zero by 2035, in line with the National Grid ESO's vision, and the majority of existing UK homes will also need to be retrofitted in some way.

The Investment Manager hopes to utilise the skills and knowledge it has developed in this area, through the Heat Networks Investment Project to capitalise on the drive for energy efficient technologies.

Our current pipeline, which includes a wide range of low carbon and energy efficient technologies; including EV charging infrastructure, CHP, energy from waste, hydro, solar, waste heat recovery, heat networks and lighting has over £ 300 million of prospective opportunities, which should comfortably enable us to deploy the balance of our IPO proceeds.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

The Investment Manager's business mission is that through its people, and the partnerships it builds, it unlocks investment opportunities that have purpose, while generating profit for investors. The Company is a direct product of this way of thinking. There is a global demand for sustainability which includes the rapid transition to a lower carbon economy.

Sustainability and the Investment Manager

Investors choose funds managed by TPIM for the Investment Manager's ability to generate stable and consistent financial returns through a range of investment strategies. Inherent to the growth of its business has been a desire to develop investment products not only generating these strong returns, but which also serve a positive societal function.

Most relevant to the Company is TPIM's strategy of being a sustainable Investment Manager: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are factored into each investment opportunity to support the Investment Objective of the Company.

The transition to Net Zero

Energy efficiency is critical to meeting the UK government's target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2050. The Investment Manager and the Board believe that the investment case for energy efficiency is significant and can be deployed throughout business across the UK. Whilst the UK has made noticeable progress in the decarbonisation of electricity generation, we acknowledge the immense challenge of improving energy efficiency in order to achieve the Net Zero target by 2050. It was announced in April 2021 that the UK committed to deliver a 78% reduction in emissions by 2035 (as proposed by the CCC if it is to meet its long-term net-zero commitment).

In the UK, 54% of the energy used to provide electricity is wasted. This is primarily due to generation and transmission losses associated with the UK's centralised grid, with lost heat contributing significantly to the total losses. Substantial and continuing investment is needed to finance the transition to a low carbon economy in order to reduce these energy losses in generation, distribution, and consumption. Of the $120 trillion global investment the International Renewable Energy Agency (" IRENA ") believes is needed to meet the Paris climate accords, 44% is expected to come from energy efficiency.

The International Labour Organisation (" ILO "), the United Nations' agency for the world of work, estimates that action to meet the Paris goals may create 24 million jobs in clean energy generation, electric vehicles and energy efficiency and lead to job losses of just 6 million, a net gain of 18 million jobs. Energy efficiency solutions provide an important opportunity to significantly impact the transition to a low carbon economy and are at the core of the Company's mission .

ESG integration into the investment process

The Investment Manager with input from the Board integrates thorough and in depth ESG analysis into all potential investments. Potential investments are first assessed against broad thematic ESG criteria. If these criteria are not met, opportunities will not be pursued further. Throughout the due diligence process the analysis becomes specific, featuring quantitative savings compared to the counterfactual, and more detailed environmental, social and governance due diligence. Included in this analysis is an assessment of climate risk to ensure the physical implications of climate change and the transition effects of the move to a low carbon economy have been accounted for in the Investment Manager's assessment of a project.

The results of this due diligence and analysis process are shared with the Investment Manager's Investment Committee and the Board, before an investment is executed. This ensures that the Investment Manager's high standards of ESG and sustainability are used during the investment process for the Company.

Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in which 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals ("SDG's") were characterised, describing the areas and themes in which humanity needed to focus development to ensure prosperity of people and the planet now and for the future.

The Board, the Company and the Investment Manager are fully aware of the 17 SDGs and make investments promoting development across combinations of areas which are targeted by the SDGs, such as: Affordable Clean Energy (SDG 7); Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9).

Although the purpose of the Company is not specifically to align to these SDGs, the investments the Company makes will help address specific targets within each goal, such as:

• 7.2 By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix;

• 7.3 By 2030, double the rate of improvement in energy efficiency;

•8.4 Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead;

• 8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value;

•8.7 Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms;

•8.8 Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment;

•9.1 Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all; and

•9.4 By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities.

Investment Targets

Increase energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is the cheapest, fastest to deploy and lowest risk energy solution. One of the Company's stated aims is to increase energy efficiency in existing assets, rather than develop brand new renewable infrastructure; this aids the transition over the medium-term towards the achievement of Net Zero by the UK.

The Company targets investments across multiple areas from reduction of transmission losses, energy used in transport to inefficient homes and factories, with a focus on bringing energy efficiency to energy intensive technologies and solutions.

Have a positive environmental impact

In line with the Company's Investment Policy the Investment Manager and the Board expect all investments to have a positive environmental impact that goes beyond energy and GHG emissions.

Greenhouse Gas ("GHG") emissions

Through the application of the Company's Investment Policy, and the fulfilment of the Company's Investment Objectives, the Company aims to reduce energy waste and thereby mitigate GHG emissions. It is a target criterion in every investment that the proposed project will reduce the GHG emissions compared to an appropriate counterfactual, across scope 1, 2 and 3 (where measurable) emissions.

Environment

Planet, biodiversity and climate change

The overarching objective of the Company's investment mandate is a focus on investments in increased energy efficiency technologies and hence a reduction in carbon emissions. The Board and the Investment Manager also realise that through the investment decisions made, the Company has the opportunity to enable further environmental benefits beyond that of energy and/or carbon efficiency improvements.

The Investment Manager, with the input of the Board, is working to develop asset specific management plans that will aim to ensure that our investee companies mitigate pollution to land, water and air as much as possible and at all times within the requirements of legislation set by the Environment Agency or other institutions. Infrastructure projects also create an opportunity to give benefits to local biodiversity through the introduction of insects and other species to closed off areas of unused land, allowing biodiversity to flourish.

Social

The Investment Manager and the Board remain cognisant of the fact that the Company's investments can be an opportunity to promote positive social outcomes to enable a just transition to a zero -carbon economy, as called for by the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.

The Just Transition asks investors to recognise the social impact of the shift to zero carbon, through technological and business model change causing heavy numbers of anticipated job losses in the fossil fuel industry to the necessity to ensure that new jobs created are decent and contribute to resilient communities.

During ESG due diligence, the Investment Manager reviews all existing people related policies and will work with a counterparty to improve provisions or create new appropriate policies where they may be lacking. Such policies might include Health and Safety, Inclusion and Diversity, Equal Opportunities and Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking to ensure workforces are being treated as fairly as possible.

Further social outcomes can be achieved by contracting, where possible, with local companies to facilitate local employment, thus maintaining a skilled local workforce that are not left behind by the energy transition. It's also about engaging with communities and stakeholders where the transition to net zero may ultimately lead to change in technologies and lead to job losses or changes in the local job market - we intent to help stakeholders to understand this. By doing this we expect to build goodwill and relationships with local communities which could be further expanded with donations towards local community groups or further investment into local communities.

Our first investment is in senior debt in Harvest and Glasshouse; those two companies employ 3 people between them, who live locally on the Isle of Wight and manage the day-to-day operations of site. Due to the low maintenance requirements of the assets, the Harvest and Glasshouse assets can be managed satisfactorily by these 3 employees. Most of the workforce on the site however, are employed by the grower. The Investment Manager will always perform due diligence on relevant counterparties.

Due to the nature of harvesting vegetables, many of the employees at the grower on the Isle of Wight are seasonal workers from Europe. Unfortunately, in the UK, European seasonal workers are often subject to a higher risk of modern slavery. It was important to the Board and the Investment Manager that these workers have appropriate working standards and so the Investment Manager conducted due diligence into employment practices, policies, and spoke with members of staff at the grower.

Governance

The Company aims to invest in well governed, fair and safe businesses, with low-risk supply chains and reliable stakeholders. Details of the Company's Anti-Bribery Policy can be found in the Corporate Governance Report .

The implementation of the Company's Investment Objectives, involve contracting with high-quality industrial, government and corporate counterparties. The Investment Manager works alongside over 75 Local Authorities and over 50% of its counterparties across the funds managed are in the public sector.

We will invest in sustainable businesses and focus on financially robust companies with a strong business model to weather economic downturns or recessions, that have several years of profitability and a successful track record of operations with an established management team.

We target established technologies backed by stable regulatory frameworks with predictable, long term cash flows underpinned by predominantly contracted revenues for financial sustainable investment. We work alongside investee companies to ensure they meet the Company's ESG objectives by seeking formal commitment from investee companies. This is done by incorporating ESG into deal documentation. For longer term concerns we will collaboratively work with the investee company to establish a roadmap for improvement over a three to five-year horizon with clear process benchmarks.

We are an externally managed business and do not have any employees or office space. As such the Group does not operate a diversity policy with regards to any administrative, management and supervisory functions. A description of the Board's policy on diversity can be found in the Corporate Governance Report .

Approach to reporting

The Board and the Investment Manager are committed to providing appropriate and transparent sustainability reporting. In addition to the Key Performance Indicators highlighted above , we will follow other industry best practice in our reporting, as follows:

Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD")

Separately to the internal analysis and due -diligence that the Investment Manager conducts, both the Investment Manager and the Board support the recommendations of the TCFD. The TCFD is the most globally supported framework for climate related risk analysis and follows all existing best practice on climate emission calculations and reporting, including that of the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (" PCAF ").

The TCFD framework recommends that organisations should seek to understand the impact of climate-related financial risks and opportunities and disclose the 'actual and potential impacts' of those risks and opportunities. Financial risks from climate change arise through two primary channels, or 'risk factors': physical and transitional.

The Investment Manager with input from the Board analyses climate related physical and transitional risks and opportunities when looking at potential future investments. The physical risks are based on physical changes which the UK is predicted to experience due to climate change as reported in the Climate Change Committee's 6th Carbon budget. The transitional risks are legislative changes that research shows are likely to occur and which we think would affect the investment. Where possible the Investment Manager looks to integrate these sensitivities into our financial models so that we can easily see the financial risks, or opportunities, that an investment may have due to the physical and transitional effects of climate change.

Given the Company's short financial period and the nature of the Company's initial investment portfolio at 31 March 2021, the Board believe that full disclosure against the requirements of TCFD reporting will not provide shareholders with useful information as to the Company's environmental impact. The Company intends to report against TCFD requirements for the full financial year ending 31 March 2022.

EU Taxonomy

The EU Taxonomy Regulation establishes an EU-wide classification system or "framework" intended to provide businesses and investors with a common language to identify to what degree economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. Broader disclosure obligations are laid out in the Regulation on Sustainability-Related Disclosures in the Financial Services Sector (" SFDR "). SFDR requirements include pre-contractual, website and periodic reporting obligations.

Under the current regulatory requirements, the Company is not required to disclose under SFDR, however we intend to make a disclosure in the coming months, which will be available on the Company's website and in subsequent interim and annual reports.

Although the UK is no longer subject to EU regulations, the UK is expected to mandate a similar Taxonomy Regulation aligned with scientific metrics in the EU taxonomy or with similar global standards. Once introduced, the Company will also disclose in line with these requirements.

Continued Commitment

Sustainability is intended to be at the heart of every investment made by the Company. Through the Investment Manager's and the Company's ESG approach to investments, and alignment with globally renowned frameworks, The Manager and the Company are at the start of a journey, in aiming to fulfil the objective of having a positive and sustainable impact on the United Kingdom.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

The Board is committed to promoting the long-term success of the Company whilst conducting business in a fair, ethical, and transparent manner.

The Board makes every effort to understand the views of the Company's key stakeholders and to take into consideration these views as part of its decision making process.

As an investment company, the Company does not have any employees and conducts its core activities through third-party service providers. The Board seeks to ensure each service provider has an established track record and, through regulatory oversight is required to have in place suitable policies and procedures to ensure they maintain high standards of business conduct, treat shareholders fairly, and employ corporate governance best practice.

The following disclosure describes how the Directors have had regard to the matters set out in section 172(1) (a) to (f) when performing their duty under s172 and forms the Directors' statement required under section 414CZA of the Act.

Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder	Why is it important to engage?	How have the Investment Manager/Directors engaged?	What were the key topics of engagement?	What was the feedback obtained and the outcome of the engagement?
Shareholders	Shareholders and their continued support are critical to the continuing existence of the business and delivery of our long term strategy.	The way in which we engage with our shareholders is set out in the Corporate Governance Report.	• Several investor meetings were held prior to IPO to engage shareholders with the Company's strategy. • Discussions regarding the dividend target.	Following feedback received at investor meetings the target dividend was increased from 5.00 pence to 5.50 pence per share.
Investment Manager	The Investment Manager is responsible for executing the Investment Objective within the Investment Policy of the Company.	The Board maintains regular and open dialogue with the Investment Manager at Board meetings and has regular contact on operational and investment matters outside of meetings.	In addition to all matters related to the execution of the Company's Investment Objective, the Board engaged with the Investment Manager on the structure of the Group, the interpretation of investment restrictions and updates to the pipeline.	The Investment Manager produces reports to the Board every quarter on various governance and operational matters.
Service Providers	As an externally managed Company, we are reliant on our service providers to conduct our core activities. We believe that fostering constructive and collaborative relationships with our service providers will assist in the promotion of the success of the Company.	The Board maintains regular contact with its service providers, both through Board and Committee meetings, as well as outside the regular meeting cycle. The Management Engagement Committee is responsible for conducting periodic reviews of service providers. During the period, the Management Engagement Committee assessed that the continued appointment of all service providers remained in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.	Being the inaugural annual report for the Company the Audit Committee, in particular the Chair, have been engaged with the external auditors to ensure the process was undertaken effectively. The Board sought advice from the Company's Broker, Financial Adviser and Legal Counsel in respect of various matters, including the interpretation of investment restrictions.	The audit process ran smoothly and effectively. The Board has built strong relationships with the Company's service providers which has allowed for open communication and for the Company to operate effectively in the period.
Asset-level counterparties	Asset-level counterparties are an essential stakeholder group and engagement with them is important to ensure assets are operating safely and effectively.	The Group made its first investment on 19 March 2021. As a result, during the reporting period communications with asset-level counterparties have been limited. As part of continual monitoring of future investments, we expect a regular dialogue with these counterparties.	The key engagement with asset-level counterparties was during the due diligence process prior to completing the investment.	A thorough due diligence process was conducted with open communication flows.
Investee Companies / Borrowers	Investee companies are companies in which TEEC Holdings owns equity, they are an essential stakeholder and engagement with them, particularly the individuals responsible for their operations, is important to ensure the maintenance and performance of each investee company.	The Board and Investment Manager visited the Harvest and Glasshouse sites on the Isle of Wight	The Investment Manager engaged with the boards and management of the investee companies to discuss the relationship going forward, including frequency of reporting.	The engagement provided a clear path for the ongoing relationship with investee companies and expectations of the content and frequency of reporting.

Principal Decisions

Principal decisions have been defined as those that have a material impact to the Group and its key stakeholders. In taking these decisions, the Directors considered their duties under section 172 of the Act.

Deployment of IPO proceeds

During the year, the Group invested, by way of secured debt into two companies who operate CHP engines. Following a recommendation from the Investment Manager, the Directors considered the investment in the context of the Company's Investment Policy, availability of financing and the potential returns to investors. They also considered the investment in the context of sustainability.

Dividends

Following the reporting date, the Board has approved the Company's first dividend to shareholders of 2 pence per share with respect to the period ending 31 March 2021. The Board is confident that, with the Company's pipeline and forecast cash flows, the Company can target a dividend of 5.5 pence per share for the financial year ending 31 March 2022, which the Board expects to contribute to the Company's target return to investors of an IRR of 7 % to 8 % , net of fees and expenses ⁶ .

Note:

⁶ The target dividend is a target only and not a forecast. There can be no assurance that the target will be met and it should not be taken as an indication of the Company's expected or actual future results.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is described as the potential for events to occur that may result in damage, liability or loss. Should these events occur, the Company may well be adversely impacted, potentially leading to the disruption of the Company's business model, as well as potential damage to the reputation or financial standing of the Company.

The benefit of a risk management framework is that it allows for potential risks to be identified in advance and may enable these risks to either be mitigated or possibly even converted into opportunities. The Prospectus (available on the Company website) detailed the potential risks that the Directors considered were material that could occur during the process of implementing the Company's Investment Policy. The Directors have identified below what they consider to be the current top risks to the Company and the mitigations in place.

As an externally managed Investment Company the Company delegates portfolio management and risk monitoring activities to the Investment Manager and Administrator, therefore the Company places reliance on the controls of service providers. In the normal course of business, each individual Energy Efficiency Project invested in will have developed a rigorous risk management framework including a comprehensive risk register that is reviewed and updated regularly and approved by the investee company board.

Risk appetite

The Board is responsible for setting the Company's risk appetite supplementing on the Investment Policy and investment restrictions. During the period, the Board focused on clarifying its views on technology risk. An initial articulation of broader risk appetite was then discussed and agreed at the Board meeting in May 2021. It sets the amount of risk the Company is willing to take, and the parameters which the Board determines that the Investment Manager must operate within.

Identification, assessment and management of risk are integral aspects of the Investment Manager's and the Administrator's work in both managing the existing portfolio on a day-to-day basis and pursuing new investment opportunities. The Board approved risk appetite, together with the Investment Policy and restrictions provides the framework for the Company and how the Investment Manager deploys the proceeds from the IPO in order to meet the Company's Investment Objectives. Adherence to the risk limits is reported regularly to the Board through the quarterly AIFM risk management report.

As a full scope UK AIFM, the Investment Manager has established a Risk and Valuation Committee that meets on a quarterly basis to discuss, amongst other matters, the risk framework of the Group and investee companies including processes for identifying, assessing and managing risks.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

It is not possible to eliminate all risks that may be faced by the Company. The objective of the Company's risk management framework and policies adopted by the Company is to identify risks and enable the Board to respond to risks with mitigating actions to reduce the potential impacts should any of the risks materialise.

The Board regularly reviews the Company's risk register, with a focus on ensuring appropriate controls are in place to mitigate each risk. Taking considered risk is the essence of all business and investment activity. The Board is ultimately responsible for setting the risk appetite and for the oversight of the Company's system of internal control and for reviewing the effectiveness of the Company's system of internal control in the light of the risks identified.

Procedures to identify principal or emerging risks

In order for the Company to capture new and emerging risks and their potential implications the Administrator, Company Secretary and Investment Manager consider risk as a matter of good practice; and report these to the Board at the quarterly Board meetings. The AIFM has responsibility for identifying potential risks at an early stage, escalating risks or changes to risks and any other relevant considerations to the Board for recording in the Company's risk register. Where relevant the financial model will be stress tested against the likelihood of occurrence and graded suitably. The Board will regularly review the risk register to ensure grading and mitigations remain appropriate and it reflects all relevant risks.

The AIFM undertakes risk management functions for the Company as defined under the AIFM Directive, including but not limited to the provision of the following risk management services to the Company:

•implementing adequate risk management systems to identify, measure, manage and monitor risks relevant to the Company's investment strategy and to which the Company may be exposed;

• reviewing the performance of the portfolio management function and reporting to the Board of the Company in respect of the performance;

•ensuring that the risks of each investment of the Company and its effect on the portfolio can be identified, measured, managed and monitored on an on-going basis, including the appropriate stress test modelling;

• implementing an appropriate, documented and routinely updated due diligence policy and procedure which is followed by all relevant parties in the making of investment decisions relating to or on behalf of the Company according to the investment strategy, the objectives and risk profile of the Company;

•regularly monitoring the compliance by the portfolio management function with the Investment Objective and limitations and restrictions and the Board approved risk appetite and reporting any instances of non-compliance promptly to the Board;

• identifying and proposing qualitative risk limits for the Company appropriate for all relevant risks and subject to Board approval, establishing and implementing such limits; and

•periodically reviewing the risk management systems described above to ensure that any modifications necessary are implemented.

The Board considers the following to be the principal risks faced by the Company along with the potential impact of these risks and the steps taken to mitigate them.

				Post Mitigation
Risk Identified	Risk Description	Risk Impact	Mitigation	Impact	Likelihood
1. Exposure to power prices and risk to hedging power prices	The Group makes investments in projects and concessions with revenue exposure to power prices. The market price of electricity is volatile and is affected by a variety of factors, including market demand for electricity, the generation mix of power plants, government support for various forms of power generation, as well as fluctuations in the market prices of commodities and foreign exchange.	Changes in market demand for electricity, including changes in consumer demand patterns could have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability, the Net Asset Value, the Company's earnings and returns to shareholders. To the extent that the Group enters into contracts to fix the price that it receives on the electricity generated or enters into derivatives with a view to hedging against fluctuations in power prices, the Group will be exposed to risk related to delivering an amount of electricity over a specific period. If there are periods of non-production the Group may need to pay the difference between the price it has sold the power at and the market price at that time .	The majority of the Company's portfolio of Energy Efficiency Projects should benefit from fixed price arrangements. In addition, the Group believe that the transition to a low carbon economy increased usage of smart grids and residential participation in renewable energy generation should all positively impact demand levels and patterns for electricity.	Moderate	Low
2. Expensive or lack of debt finance	Expensive or lack of debt finance may limit our ability to grow and achieve a fully covered dividend.	Without sufficient debt funding at sustainable rates, we will be unable to pursue suitable investments in line with our Investment Policy. This would significantly impair our ability to pay dividends to shareholders at the targeted rate.	When raising debt finance the Investment Manager will adopt a flexible approach involving speaking to multiple funders offering various rates, structures and tenors. This will allow the Investment Manager to maintain maximum competitive tension between funders. The Board also keeps liquidity under constant review to ensure that we have a level of protection in the event of adverse fund-raising conditions.	Moderate	Low
3. Reliance on the Investment Manager	We rely on the Investment Manager's services and its reputation in the energy and infrastructure market. As a result, our performance will, to a large extent, depend on the Investment Manager's abilities in the energy efficiency market.	The performance of the Company depends, in part, on the ability of the Investment Manager to provide competent and efficient services to the Company. The departure of any of the key personnel of the Investment Manager without adequate replacement may also have a material adverse effect on the Company's performance. In addition, if any such personnel were to do anything or were alleged to have done something that may be the subject of public criticism or other negative publicity or may lead to investigation, litigation or sanction, this may have an adverse impact on the Company and its reputation by association. Termination of the Investment Management Agreement would severely affect our ability to effectively manage our operations and may have a negative impact on the share price of the Company .	Unless there is a default, either party may terminate the Investment Management Agreement by giving not less than 12 months' written notice, such notice not being served before the fourth anniversary of the date of Admission. The Board regularly reviews and monitors the Investment Manager's performance. In addition, the Board meets regularly with the Investment Manager to ensure that we maintain a positive working relationship. The key personnel of the Investment Manager are subject to a t least a three -month notice period which sh ould provide sufficient time in which to find a suitable replacement with relevant industry experience.	High	Moderate
4. Introduction of, or amendment to laws, regulations, or technology (especially in relation to climate change)	A technological or regulatory change could occur which could have the effect of rendering an Energy Efficiency Project in which the Group has invested obsolete or materially change the way in which a service or product is delivered or alter the return profile of an investment. In addition, environmental regulators may seek to impose injunctions or other sanctions on an Energy Efficiency Project's operation due to changes in laws or regulations that may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.	The future legislative prohibition or tax of particular fuels (such as natural gas) or as a result of technological innovation or otherwise by changes to law and regulation that renders an Energy Efficiency Project obsolete could threaten the profitability of such an Energy Efficiency Project, in particular due to the financing projections that are dependent on an extended project life. If such a change were to occur, these assets would have very few alternative uses should they become obsolete.	As part of the Group's acquisition process, the Investment Manager conducts a thorough due diligence process on all projects that takes account of the technology, regulatory environment, potential future regulatory changes , carbon pricing scenarios and the robustness of any Government subsidy. The Company's Investment Strategy focuses on a diverse range of assets across various energy efficiency sub-sectors. Which in turn reduces the impact on the Group's operations should the introduction of, or amendment to laws, regulations, or technology impact any one sector.	Moderate to High	Low to Moderate
5. Counterparties' ability to make contractual payments	The Group's revenue derives from the Energy Efficiency Projects in the portfolio, the Group will be exposed to the financial strength of the counterparties to such projects and their ability to meet their contractual payment obligations	The failure by a counterparty to pay the contractual payments due, or the early termination of an Energy Efficiency Project due to insolvency, may materially affect the value of the portfolio and could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company, the Net Asset Value, the Company's earnings and returns to shareholders.	The Investment Manager will look to build in suitable mechanisms to protect the Group's income stream from the relevant Energy Efficiency Project, which may include parent guarantees and liquidated damages payments on termination. The Group's exposure to defaults may be further mitigated by contracting with counterparties who are public sector or quasi-public sector bodies or who are able to draw upon government subsidies to partly fund contractual payments. As part of the Group's acquisition process, the Investment Manager conducts a thorough due diligence process on all projects that includes a credit check on counterparties.	Moderate	Low
6. Portfolio of new assets acquired which may include risks not fully identified in due diligence process	Due diligence undertaken by the Investment Manager may not uncover all of the material risks affecting such project and/or such risks may not be adequately protected against in the acquisition or investment documentation.	The Group may acquire Energy Efficiency Projects with unknown liabilities and without any recourse, or with limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. If an unknown liability was later asserted in respect of the relevant Energy Efficiency Project, the Group might by required to pay substantial sums to settle it or enter into litigation proceedings, which could adversely affect cash flow and the result of its operations. Accordingly, in the event that material risks are not uncovered and/or such risks are not adequately protected against, this may have a material adverse effect on the Energy Efficiency Project and consequently a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company, the Net Asset Value, the Company's earnings and returns to Shareholders.	Prior to making an investment, the Investment Manager will undertake commercial, financial, technical and legal due diligence on the relevant Energy Efficiency Project. In addition, the Investment Manager undertakes scenario testing as part of the investment appraisal to account for unforeseen risks to the extent possible. The Investment Manager will also commission due diligence reports prepared by professional advisers in relation to an Energy Efficiency Project. Once the legal documentation and confirmatory due diligence is completed, the Board will undertake a final review of a transaction with the Investment Manager before the Investment Manager proceeds with completion of the transaction.	Moderate	Low
7. Construction risks for certain Energy Efficiency Projects	Energy Efficiency Projects that are in the Construction Phase or the Development Phase may be exposed to certain risks, such as cost overruns, construction delay and construction defects that may be outside the Group's control.	Should completion of any project overrun (both in terms of time and budget), there is a risk that payments may be required to be made to (or withheld by) a counterparty in relation to the late installation of the relevant assets and infrastructure. If the completion of a project overruns, it would also result in a delayed start of contractual payments due to the Group, which could affect the Company's ability to achieve its target returns, depending on the nature and scale of such delay. In addition, any error or deviation from project specifications during the Construction Phase may lead to additional costs or expenses being incurred by the Group and could thus result in a lower profit for the Group.	The engineering, procurement and construction obligations relating to an Energy Efficiency Project in the Construction Phase or the Development Phase will be undertaken by third party EPC Contractors appointed by the Group, who will be outside the direct control of the Group. The Group will seek to contract with EPC Contractors of good standing and with a strong track record, and will seek to ensure that any contract with the EPC Contractor, and the other contracts relating to the relevant project, will contain sufficient protections to ensure that the Group will be adequately compensated should it suffer any losses due to any delays or defects in the completion of the Energy Efficiency Project, or if commissioning of the Energy Efficiency Project is never completed.	Moderate to High	Low
8. Risks relating to installing, operating, and decommissioning energy efficiency equipment	Machinery or equipment may not be properly and adequately installed, maintained or otherwise underperform.	If the machinery and equipment installed as part of an Energy Efficiency Project fails, this could give rise to remediation rights for the counterparty, the withholding of part or all of the contractual payment payable to the Group, termination of the relevant contract for the default of the Group and/or additional maintenance expenditure. This could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company, the Net Asset Value, the Company's earnings and returns to shareholders. Additional costs and expenses, carrying out repairs, lack of warranty cover and/or operational failures or malfunction of an Energy Efficiency Project and delays in the production or supply of energy may have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company, the Net Asset Value, the Company's earnings and returns to shareholders.	The Investment Manager will procure that the Group uses proven technologies, typically backed by manufacturer warranties, when installing machinery and equipment as part of an Energy Efficiency Project. The Group will also implement a maintenance programme for each Energy Efficiency Project and will typically appoint O&M Contractors with a strong track record to carry out such maintenance pursuant to an O&M Contract. Typically, the O&M Contract will contain back-to-back KPIs against the same performance criteria contained in the correlating Energy Efficiency Project, to enable the Group to pursue the O&M Contractor, often on a liquidated damages basis, for any loss of revenue caused by a failure to meet all KPIs.	High	Low to Moderate
9. Lack of availability of suitable energy efficiency projects	Competition for Energy Efficiency Project in the primary investment or secondary investment markets, may result in the Company being unable to make investments or investments on terms that enable the target returns to be delivered.	If the Investment Manager is not able to source a sufficient number of suitable investments within a reasonable timeframe whether by reason of lack of demand, competition or otherwise, a greater proportion of the Company's assets will be held in cash for longer than anticipated and the Company's ability to achieve its Investment Objective will be adversely affected.	The Investment Manager has a strong track record and experience in asset and project finance, portfolio management and structured investments, with Energy and Infrastructure being a principal area of focus. Through extensive industry relationships the Investment Manager provides access to a significant pipeline of investment opportunities. Furthermore, the Company will use of leverage to increase the return profile of Energy Efficiency Projects.	High	Moderate
10. Cyber and other security risks	Attempts may be made to access the IT systems and data used by the Investment Manager, Administrator and other service providers through a cyber attack or malicious breaches of confidentiality.	Increased regulation, laws, rules and standards related to cyber security, could impact the Company's reputation or result in financial loss through the imposition of fines. Suffering a cyber breach will also generally incur costs associated with repairing affected systems, networks and devices. The effect of a Cyber Security breach may result in reputational damage which may affect relationships the Company has with partners, investors and other third parties. Cyber security policies and procedures implemented by key service providers are reported to the Board regularly to ensure conformity. Thorough third-party due diligence is carried out on all suppliers engaged to service the Company. All providers have processes in place to identify cyber security risks and apply, and monitor appropriate risk plans.

Emerging Risks

Emerging risks are characterised by a degree of uncertainty and the Investment Manager and the Board consider new and emerging risks every six months, the risk register is then updated to include these considerations.

The United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union

The Board has continued to monitor the potential risks associated with Brexit. Despite the trade deal reached on 24 December 2020 between the UK and EU, it still remains unclear as to the extent or precise nature of the impact of Brexit on the UK economy or the Company. Nevertheless, Energy Efficiency Projects, being UK based, the Group remains relatively insulated from the impact of Brexit.

The Board will continue to monitor the ongoing developments between the UK and the EU and the wider potential impact of Brexit on the Group and its stakeholder base. 

Covid-19 and global pandemic risk

The outbreak of Covid-19 in early 2020 has negatively impacted economic conditions globally and is having an adverse and disruptive effect on the UK economy (triggering a technical recession after the second quarter of 2020). The Board has considered the potential significant and wide-ranging adverse effect on the Group, including the operating issues arising directly from the pandemic (including health and safety related impacts) and the longer-term impacts in relation to portfolio investments, from the economic consequences of the global pandemic. The Directors have performed an assessment of the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, which includes the impact of Covid-19 further details of which can be found in Note 2 .

The Board will continue to monitor economic conditions and implement appropriate controls and processes in order to mitigate the potential impact of the pandemic on the Group.

Physical effects of climate change

While efforts to mitigate climate change continue to progress, the physical impacts are already emerging in the form of changing weather patterns. Extreme weather events can result in flooding, drought, fires and storm damage, which may potentially impair the operations of borrowers and future portfolio companies at a certain location or impacting locations of companies within their supply chain.

GOING CONCERN AND VIABILITY STATEMENT

Going Concern

The Strategic Report and financial statements have set out the current financial position of the Company. The Board regularly reviews the position of the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern in Board meetings throughout the year. The Company is targeting investments in Energy Efficiency Projects that aim to meet its target return expectations and will continue to analyse investment opportunities to ensure that they are the right fit for the Company.

The Directors, in their consideration of going concern, have reviewed comprehensive cash flow models for the Company and its intermediate holding company prepared by the Company's Investment Manager, which are based on market data and the Managers assessment of the current pipeline of opportunities, based on these forecasts and the assessment of the principal risks described in this report, that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements of the Company on the going concern basis. At the reporting date the Company had £76.55 million in cash and cash equivalents.

The Directors confirm they have carried out a robust assessment of the emerging and principal risks facing the Company, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency, liquidity and dividend cover for a five-year period. The Directors' assessment has been made with reference to the principal risks and uncertainties and emerging risks summarised above and how they could impact the prospects of the Company.

The Board believes that there are currently no material uncertainties in relation to the Company's ability to continue for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements and, therefore, has adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

Viability Statement

In accordance with Principle 21 of the AIC Code, the Board has assessed the prospects of the Company over a period longer than 12 months required by the relevant "Going Concern" provisions. The Board has considered the nature of the Company's assets and liabilities, and associated cash flows, and has determined that five years, up to 31 March 2026, is the maximum timescale over which the performance of the Company can be forecast with a material degree of accuracy and therefore is the appropriate period over which to consider the viability.

When making the loan investment into Harvest and Glasshouse, through the Company's main subsidiary TEEC Holdings, the business model of the borrower was subject to a number of key assumptions underlying the forecasts of the borrowers. The sensitivities performed were designed to provide the Directors with an understanding of the borrower's ability to service the debt in the event of a severe but plausible downturn scenario.

Downside sensitivities have been carried out based on a 10% adverse movement in electricity and gas prices. In this adverse scenario, the companies would be able to continue servicing their loans. In a downturn scenario, mitigating actions to reduce variable costs could be actioned to enable the Group to continue to meet its future liabilities. Harvest and Glasshouse have considerable cash balances and their revenues are approximately 49% exposed to power price volatility, with the balance being a fixed PPA with the offtaker.

Based on the results of the analysis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the next five years.

In considering the prospects of the Company, the Directors looked at the key risks facing both the Company and the portfolio as detailed above , focusing on the likelihood and impact of each risk as well as any key contracts, future events or timescales that may be assigned to each key risk.

As an Investment Company , part of the Company's objective is to produce stable dividends while preserving the capital value of its investment portfolio on a real basis to deliver a total NAV return of 7-8% per annum. Following regular pipeline updates from the Investment Manager, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully over both the short and long term, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operation and to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 5 years. While the Directors have no reason to believe that the Company will not be viable over a longer period, they are of the opinion that it would be difficult to foresee the economic viability of any company with any degree of certainty for a period of time greater than five years.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Financial Statements of the Company for the period ended 31 March 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 2 June 2021.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales under number 12693305 pursuant to the Act. The address of its registered office, which is also its principal place of business, is 1 King William Street, London EC4N 7AF.

The Company was incorporated on 23 June 2020 and is a Public Company and the ultimate controlling party of the Group. The Company's Ordinary Shares were admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker TEEC on 19 October 2020, following its IPO which raised gross proceeds of £100 million.

The financial statements comprise only the results of the Company, as its investment in TEEC Holdings Limited ("TEEC Holdings") is included at fair value through profit or loss as detailed in the key accounting policies below.

The Company has appointed Triple Point Investment Management LLP as its Investment Manager (the "Investment Manager") pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement dated 25 August 2020. The Investment Manager is registered in England and Wales under number OC321250 pursuant to the Act. The Investment Manager is regulated by the FCA, number 456597.

The Company intends to achieve its Investment Objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of energy efficiency investments in the United Kingdom. The Company, through TEEC Holdings, will invest in a range of energy efficiency assets which will contribute, or are already contributing, to energy efficiency in sub-sectors including electricity and heat generation, distribution, and end user consumption.

The current year financial information is from the period of incorporation on 23 June 2020 to 31 March 2021; there is no comparative information for this period. The Company is required to nominate a functional currency, being the currency in which the Company predominantly operates. The functional and reporting currency is pounds sterling, reflecting the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial information contained in this announcement has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the statutory accounts for the period ended 31 March 2021. Whilst the financial information included in this announcement has been computed in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union, this announcement does not itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS. The financial information does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the period ended 31 March 2021, but is derived from those accounts. Those accounts give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit and loss of the Company. Statutory accounts for the period ended 31 March 2021 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following approval by the Directors. The auditor's report on 2021 accounts was unqualified; did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis; and did not contain statements under s498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

After making the necessary enquiries, the Directors confirm that they are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its day-to-day commitments for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

The financial statements, which aim to give a true and fair view, have been prepared in accordance with IAS in conformity with the requirements of the Act and in accordance with IFRS adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002, as it applies in the EU, using the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments and any subsidiaries classified at fair value through profit or loss, which are included at fair value through the Income Statement.

The principal accounting policies to be adopted are set out below and will be consistently applied, subject to changes in accordance with any amendments in IFRS.

IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). When measuring fair value, the Company takes into consideration the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.

The Company accounts for its investment in its wholly owned direct subsidiary TEEC Holdings at fair value. The investment in TEEC Holdings which will principally comprise working capital balances and investments in Energy Efficiency Projects, are required to be included at fair value in the carrying value of investments. Consequently, the Company does not consolidate its subsidiary, which is itself an investment entity or apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations when it obtains control of another entity as it is considered to be an investment entity under IFRS. Instead, the Company includes its investment in its subsidiary at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company only, the financial statements are presented in pounds sterling, which is the Company's functional currency and are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

TEEC Holdings is itself an investment entity. Consequently, the Company need not have an exit strategy for its investment in TEEC Holdings.

Each investment indirectly held has a finite life. For the Energy Efficiency Projects in which the Group holds debt investments, the debt is expected to mature towards the end of the concession, and at the end of the concession it is expected that the investment will be fully repaid. In the case of Energy Efficiency Projects in which the Group holds equity, the life of the project is based on the expected useful asset life alongside the land lease term. After expiry, it is anticipated the investment may be dissolved. The Board and the Investment Manager will monitor the market and where possible look to maximise value for shareholders.

The exit strategy is that investments will normally be held to the end of the concession unless the Company sees an opportunity in the market to dispose of investments. The Company's Investment Manager, and the Company's Board will regularly review the market and consider whether any disposals should be made.

Based on analysis and advice from the Administrator, the Directors will consider on an ongoing basis whether the Company demonstrates the characteristics and meets the requirements to be considered an investment entity.

IFRS 10, Investment Entities

The sole objective of the Company and through its subsidiary TEEC Holdings is to enter Energy Efficiency Projects, via individual corporate entities. TEEC Holdings typically will issue equity and loans to finance its investments in the Energy Efficiency Projects.

The Directors have concluded that in accordance with IFRS 10, the Company meets the definition of an investment entity having evaluated the criteria that needs to be met (see below). Under IFRS 10, investment entities are required to hold subsidiaries at fair value through the Income Statement rather than consolidate them on a line-by-line basis. There are three key conditions to be met by the Company for it to meet the definition of an investment entity.

For each reporting period, the Directors will continue to assess whether the Company continues to meet these conditions:

1. It obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing these investors with professional investment management services;

2. It commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest its funds solely for returns (including having an exit strategy for investments) from capital appreciation, investment income or both; and

3. It measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all its investments on a fair value basis.

In satisfying the second criteria, the notion of an investment time frame is critical. An investment entity should not hold its investments indefinitely but should have an exit strategy for their realisation. Although the Company through TEEC Holdings has currently made two debt investments, it is the intention to seek equity interests in Energy Efficiency Projects that have an indefinite life; the underlying assets that it invests in have an expected life of between 10-30 years. The Company intends to hold these for the remainder of their useful life to preserve the capital value of the portfolio. However, as the energy efficiency assets are expected to have no residual value after their life, the Directors consider that this demonstrates a clear exit strategy from these investments.

Subsidiaries are therefore measured at fair value through profit or loss, in accordance with IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement", IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

Going Concern

The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are set out in the Investment Manager's Review.

The Company faces a number of risks and uncertainties, as set out in the Strategic Report. The financial risk management objectives and policies of the Company, including exposure to price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk are discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements.

Following the successful IPO of the Company on 19 October 2020, The Company continues to meet day-to-day liquidity needs through its cash resources. As at 31 March 2021, the Company had net current assets of £76.8 million (which reflected a high level of cash within the Company, whilst the Investment Manager pursues suitable investment opportunities) and had cash balances of £76.6 million.

The major cash outflows of the Company are the payment of dividends, fees and costs relating to the acquisition of new assets, both of which are discretionary.

In the period since early 2020 and up to the date of this report, the outbreak of Covid-19 has had a negative impact on the global economy. The Directors and Investment Manager continue to actively monitor the situation and its potential effect on the Company and its investments if applicable.

The Company was admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main market of the London Stock Exchange on 19 October 2020, which was after the UK had been in its first lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, the Investment Manager and Administrator had already successfully implemented business continuity plans to ensure business disruption was minimised and had been operating effectively whilst working remotely. All staff were able to continue to assume their day-to-day responsibilities.

Based on the assessment outlined above, including the various risk mitigation measures in place, the Directors do not consider that the effects of Covid-19 have created a material uncertainty over the assessment of the Company as a going concern. The Directors have reviewed Company forecasts and pipeline projections which cover a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of this report, considering foreseeable changes in investment and the wider pipeline, which show that the Company has sufficient financial resources to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of this report.

On the basis of this review, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Company's statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are to be de-recognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the instrument expire or the asset is transferred, and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. The Company will not hold any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Specifically, the Company may utilise interest rate swaps to help manage its interest rate risk.

All derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date that the derivative is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each balance sheet date. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument. Since future derivatives held by the Company may not qualify for hedge accounting, gains or losses are to be recognised in profit or loss in the Income Statement.

Fair values of derivative financial instruments will be based on valuation statements provided by third party expert advisers.

The level in the fair value hierarchy into which these interest rate swaps are categorised is Level 2, being inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

The Company did not use any derivative financial instruments during the period.

Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets as either investments at fair value through profit or loss or financial assets at amortised cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets are acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Investments at fair value through profit or loss

At initial recognition, the Company measures investments in Energy Efficiency Projects, through its investment in TEEC Holdings, at fair value through profit or loss and any transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. The Company will subsequently continue to measure all investments at fair value and any changes in the fair value are to be recognised as gains or losses on investments at fair value through profit or loss within investment income.

Investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised upon initial recognition as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 10. Investments held at fair value through profit or loss consist of the Company's subsidiary, TEEC Holdings.

The Company's investment in TEEC Holdings comprises both equity and loan notes. The Company measures its investment as a single class of financial asset at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

Through TEEC Holdings, the Company has made secured loan investments to two companies which own and operate CHP energy centres. Both elements are exposed to the same primary risk, being performance risk. This risk is to be taken into consideration when determining the discount rate applied to the forecast cash flows, alongside the decision to set the interest rates on any loan investments.

In determining the fair value, the Board will consider any observable market transactions and will measure fair value using assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset, including any assumptions regarding risk surrounding the transaction.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that are non-derivative financial assets and that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as "financial assets at amortised cost". Trade receivables, loans and other receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. They are included in current assets, except where maturities are greater than 12 months after the reporting date, in which case they are to be classified as non-current assets. The Company's financial assets held at amortised cost comprise "trade and other receivables" and "cash and cash equivalents" in the statement of financial position.

Financial liabilities and equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Equity instruments

The Company's Ordinary Shares are classified as equity and are not redeemable. Costs associated or directly attributable to the issue of new equity shares are recognised as a deduction in equity and are charged from the share premium account.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, comprising:

• loans and borrowings which are recognised initially at the fair value of the consideration received, less transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and borrowings are to be stated at amortised cost, with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis; and

• other non-derivative financial instruments, including trade and other payables, which are to be measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses

Borrowing costs are recognised in the Income Statement in the period to which they relate on an accruals basis.

Effective interest method

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the relevant asset's carrying amount.

Fair value estimation for investments at fair value

The Company's investments at fair value are not typically traded in active markets. Fair value is calculated by discounting at an appropriate discount rate future cash flows expected to be received from the Company's intermediate holding in TEEC Holdings, from which the underlying cash flows are from investments in both equity (dividends and equity redemptions), shareholder and inter-company loans (interest and repayments) in Energy Efficiency Projects.

The discount rates used in the valuation exercise will represent the Investment Manager's and the Board's best assessment of the rate of return in the market for assets with similar characteristics and risk profile. The discount rates are to be reviewed on a regular basis and updated, where appropriate, to reflect changes in the market and in the project risk characteristics.

Revenue Recognition

Gains and losses on fair value of investments in the income statement will represent gains or losses that arise from the movement in the fair value of the Company's investment in TEEC Holdings.

Dividends from TEEC Holdings are recognised when the Company's right to receive payment has been established.

Investment income comprises interest income and dividend income received from the Company's subsidiary. Interest income is recognised in the Income Statement using the effective interest method.

Share capital and share premium

The costs incurred in relation to the Company's IPO were charged to the share premium account.

Segmental Reporting

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") being the Board of Directors, is of the opinion that the Company is engaged in a single segment of business, being investment in Energy Efficiency Projects.

The Company has no single major customer. The internal financial information to be used by the CODM on a quarterly basis to allocate resources, assess performance and manage the Company will present the business as a single segment comprising the portfolio of investments in energy efficiency assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, deposits held on call with banks and other short-term highly liquid deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statements.

Deposits to be held with original maturities of greater than three months are included in other financial assets.

There are no expected credit losses as the bank institutions will have high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

Foreign currencies

Items included in the financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and is the Company's functional currency.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the Income Statement.

Dividends

Dividends to the Company's shareholders are recognised when they become legally payable. In the case of interim dividends, this is when they are paid. In the case of final dividends, this is when they are approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Fund Expenses

Expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Share issue expenses of the Company directly attributable to the issue and listing of shares are charged to the share premium account. The Company's investment management fee, administration fees and all other expenses are charged through the Income Statement.

Investment Management Fees

As per the Company's Investment Objective, it is expected that income returns will make up the majority of the Company's long-term return. Therefore, based on the estimated split of future returns (which cannot be guaranteed), 25% of the investment management fee is charged as a capital item within the Income Statement.

Taxation

Under the current system of taxation in the UK, the Company is liable to taxation on its operations in the UK. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the Statement of Financial Position.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit or the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments, except where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled, or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the Income Statement except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off tax assets against tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Acquisition Costs

In line with IFRS 9, acquisition costs are expensed to the Income Statement as they are incurred for investments which are held at fair value through profit or loss.

New and revised standards applied

There were no new standards or interpretations effective for the first time for periods beginning on or after 23 June 2020 that had a significant effect on the Group's or Company's financial statements. Furthermore, none of the amendments to standards that are effective from that date had a significant effect on the financial statements.

New and revised standards not applied

"Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2" was issued and will become effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. The amendments require additional disclosures that address issues that might affect financial reporting after the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including its replacement with alternative benchmark rates. They also provide relief to the Group in respect of certain loans whose contractual terms are affected by interest benchmark reform.

Other accounting standards and interpretations have been published and will be mandatory for the Company's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 or later periods. The impact of these standards is not expected to be material to the reported results and financial position of the Company.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the fair value of assets and liabilities that affect reported amounts. It is possible, that actual results may differ from these estimates.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and underlying assumptions underpinning our investments are reviewed on an ongoing basis by both the Board and the Investment Manager. Revisions to any accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Investments at fair value through profit or loss

The fair value of investments in Energy Efficiency Projects is calculated by discounting at an appropriate discount rate future cash flows expected to be received by the Company's Subsidiary, TEEC Holdings, from investments in both equity (dividends and equity redemptions), shareholder and inter-company loans (interest and repayments).

Estimates such as the cash flows are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgements about the fair value of assets not readily available from other sources. Discount rates used in the valuation represent the Investment Manager's and the Board's assessment of the rate of return in the market for assets with similar characteristics and risk profile. The discount rate is deemed to be one of the most significant unobservable inputs and any change could have a material impact on the fair value of investments.

Critical accounting judgements

Equity and debt investment in TEEC Holdings

In applying their judgement, the Directors have satisfied themselves that the equity and debt investments in TEEC Holdings share the same investment characteristics and, as such, constitute a single asset class for IFRS 7 disclosure purposes.

Please refer to the accounting policies in Note 2 for further detail.

Investment Entity

As discussed above in Note 2, the Directors have concluded that the company continues to meet the definition of an investment entity as defined in IFRS 10.

This assessment involves an element of judgement as to whether the Company continues to meet the criteria outlined in the accounting standards.

4. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES

The Company and the Investment Manager entered into an Investment Management Agreement on 25 August 2020.

Following the IPO of the Company, no Annual Management Fee has been accrued or shall accrue or be charged on the undeployed cash funds arising from the IPO until such time as 75% or more of the net proceeds have been deployed.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Investment Manager must use 20% of the management fee received to acquire shares in the Company. On a semi-annual basis, following the announcement of the Net Asset Value for the semi-annual periods ending 31 March and 30 September in each year, the Investment Manager shall procure that the Wider Triple Point Group shall apply an amount, in aggregate, equal to 20% of the Annual Management Fee for the relevant six-month period as follows:

(a) where the Ordinary Shares are trading at, or at a premium to, the latest published Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share; the Investment Manager shall procure that the Wider Triple Point Group shall use the relevant amount to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares issued at the latest published Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share applicable at the date of issuance; or

(b) where the Ordinary Shares are trading at a discount to the latest published Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share; the Investment Manager shall procure that the Wider Triple Point Group shall, as soon as reasonably practicable use the relevant amount to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares within four months of the relevant Net Asset Value publication date;

Even though the Annual Management Fee is payable on a monthly basis, Ordinary Shares will only be acquired by the Wider Triple Point Group on a half-yearly basis. In addition, any such Ordinary Shares acquired by the Wider Triple Point Group are subject to a minimum lock-in period of 12 months.

Investment management fees paid or accrued during the year were as follows:

Surrendering of Tax losses to unconsolidated subsidiaries	64	1	65

Tax charge/(credit) for the period	-	-	-

The Directors are of the opinion that the Company has complied with the requirements for maintaining investment trust status for the purposes of section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. This allows certain capital profits of the Company to be exempt from UK tax.

Additionally, the Company may utilise the interest streaming election which allows the Company to designate dividends wholly or partly as interest distributions for UK tax purposes. Interest distributions are treated as tax deductions against taxable income of the Company so that investors do not suffer double taxation on their returns.

The financial statements do not directly include the tax charges for the Company's intermediate holding company, as TEEC Holdings is held at fair value. TEEC Holdings is subject to taxation in the United Kingdom.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

	For the period ended 31 March 2021

Loss per Ordinary Share (pence) - basic and diluted	(0.01)p	(0.00)p	(0.01)p

Dilution of the earnings per share as a result of the equity element of the investment management fee as disclosed in Note 4, is not expected to have a material impact on the basic earnings per share.

There is no difference between the weighted average Ordinary or diluted number of Shares.

10. DIVIDENDS

On 3 June 2021, the Company announced an interim dividend of 2.00 pence per share with respect to the period ending 31 March 2021 to be paid on 30 June 2021 to shareholders on the register on 11 June 2021. This is the Company's first distribution and is in line with the expectation set out during the Company's IPO process.

This dividend will result in a payment to shareholders of £2 million. Going forward, the Board anticipates paying quarterly interim dividends, targeting total dividends of 5.50 pence per share for the year ending March 2022.

Valuation methodology

The Directors have satisfied themselves as to the methodology used and the discount rates and key assumptions applied in producing the valuations. All investments are at fair value through profit or loss.

For non-market traded investments (being all the investments made during the period), the valuation is based on a discounted cash flow methodology and adjusted in accordance with the IPEV (International Private Equity and Venture Capital) valuation guidelines where appropriate to comply with IFRS 13 and IFRS 9, given the special nature of energy efficiency investments. Where an investment is traded in an open market, a market quote is used.

The Investment Manager exercises its judgment in assessing the expected future cash flows from each investment based on the project's expected life and the financial models produced for each project company and adjusts the cash flows where necessary to consider key external macro-economic assumptions and specific operating assumptions.

The fair value for each investment is then derived from the application of an appropriate market discount rate to reflect the perceived risk to the investment's future cash flows to give the present value of those cash flows. The discount rate considers risks associated with the financing of an investment such as investment risks (e.g. liquidity, interest rate risks, market appetite), and any risks to the investment's earnings (e.g. predictability and covenant of the income) and a thorough assessment of counterparty credit risk, all of which may be differentiated by the phase of the investment.

The Company records the fair value of TEEC Holdings by calculating and aggregating the fair value of each of the individual investments in which the Company holds an indirect investment. The total change in the value of the investment in TEEC Holdings is recorded through profit and loss in the Income Statement.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The table below sets out the classifications of the carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities into categories of financial instruments.

Fair Value measurements

As set out in Note 2, the Company accounts for its interest in its wholly owned direct subsidiary as an investment at fair value through profit or loss.

IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurement by level. The level of fair value hierarchy within the financial assets or financial liabilities is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety into only one of the following 3 levels:

• Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

• Level 3 - inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The determination of what constitutes 'observable' requires significant judgement by the Company. The Company considers observable data to be market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

There were no Level 1 or Level 2 assets or liabilities during the period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, Level 1 and 3 or Level 2 and 3 during the period.

Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities

An analysis of the movement between opening to closing balances of the investments at fair value through profit or loss (all classified as Level 3) is given in Note 12.

The fair value of the investments at fair value through profit or loss includes the use of Level 3 inputs. Refer to Note 12 for details on the valuation methodology.

Given the proximity of the transactions in which the investments were made to the period end date, and the fact that the discount rate at which the investments are being valued is the discount intrinsic in the transactions, we do not consider there to be reasonable alternative discount rate inputs that would materially impact the valuation of investments.

17. SPECIAL DISTRIBUTABLE RESERVE

As indicated in the Company's prospectus dated 25 August 2020, following admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange, the Directors applied to the Court and obtained a judgement on 12 January 2021 to cancel the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company.

As stated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales ("ICAEW") and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland ("ICAS") in the technical release TECH 02/17BL, The Companies (Reduction of Share Capital) Order 2008 SI 2008/1915 ("the Order") specifies the cases in which a reserve arising from a reduction in a company's capital (i.e., share capital, share premium account, capital redemption reserve or redenomination reserve) is to be treated as a realised profit as a matter of law.

The Order also disapplies the general prohibition in section 654 on the distribution of a reserve arising from a reduction of capital. The Order provides that if a limited company having a share capital reduces its capital and the reduction is confirmed by order of court, the reserve arising from the reduction is treated as a realised profit unless the court orders otherwise.

The amount of the share premium account cancelled and credited to the Company's Special reserve is £97.0 million which can be utilised to fund distributions by way of dividends to the Company's shareholders.

18. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's investment activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; including, interest rate risk, power price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for overseeing the management of financial risks, however the review and management of financial risks are delegated to the AIFM. Each risk and its management are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

The Company's interest rate risk on interest bearing financial assets is limited to interest earned on cash and loan investments into project companies, which yield interest at a fixed rate. At the period end, the Company had secured loan investments into two CHP companies. The CHP companies cash flows are continually monitored and reforecast, both over the near future and the long term, to analyse the cash flow returns from investments. The interest rate applicable to the Company's loan to TEEC Holdings, reflects the rate attached to the project company loans.

The Company may use borrowings to finance the acquisition of investments. At the period end, there was no borrowing in place. Looking ahead the Company's policy is to ensure that interest rates are sufficiently hedged to protect net interest margins from significant fluctuations when entering into material medium/ long term borrowings. This may include engaging in interest rate swaps or other interest rate derivative contracts.

	Interest bearing	Non-interest bearing	Total value
	£'000	£'000	£'000
For the period ended 31 March 2021
Assets:
Investments at fair value through profit or loss	20,883	-	20,883
Receivables	-	201	201
Cash and cash equivalents	76,553	-	76,553
Total Assets	97,436	201	97,637

Liabilities:
Trade and other payables	-	149	149
Total Liabilities	-	149	149

Power Price risk

The wholesale market price of electricity and gas is volatile and is affected by a variety of factors, including market demand for electricity and gas, the generation mix of power plants, government support for various forms of power generation, as well as fluctuations in the market prices of commodities and foreign exchange. At the period end the Company was not directly exposed to power price risk, as the investments made by TEEC Holdings during the period were fixed rate secured loans. The investee companies, Harvest and Glasshouse are exposed to power price risk. A significant fall in power prices may result in Harvest and Glasshouse being unable to service the debt provided by the Group and as a result could affect the fair value of the Company's investments. As the Company deploys further funds, the Investment Manager intends to continually monitor energy price forecasts and aims to put in place mitigating strategies, such as hedging arrangements or fixed PPA contracts to reduce the exposure of the Company to this risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty of the Company will be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment that it has entered into with the Company. It is a key part of the pre-investment due diligence. The credit standing of the companies which we intend to lend or invest is reviewed, and the risk of default estimated for each significant counterparty position. Monitoring is on-going, and period end positions are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The Company and its subsidiaries may mitigate their risk on cash investments and derivative transactions by only transacting with major international financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The Company had no derivatives during the period.

The carrying value of the investments, trade and other receivables and cash represent the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The AIFM and the Board continuously monitor forecast and actual cash flows from operating, financing, and investing activities to consider payment of dividends, repayment of trade and other payables or funding further investing activities. The Company ensures it maintains adequate reserves and will put in place banking facilities and it will continuously monitor forecast and actual cash flows to seek to match the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

At the period end, the Company's investments were in secured loan investments to private companies, in which there is no listed market and therefore such investments would take time to realise, and there is no assurance that the valuations placed on the investments would be achieved from any such sale process. The Company's direct subsidiary TEEC Holdings, is the entity through which the Company holds its investments, the liquidity of TEEC Holdings is reflective of the investments in which it holds.

Financial assets and liabilities by maturity at the period end are shown below:

	Less than 1 year	1-5 years	More than 5 years	Total
	£'000	£'000	£'000	£'000

Assets:
Investments at fair value through profit or loss	-	-	20,883	20,883

19. SUBSIDIARIES

At the reporting date, the Company had one subsidiary, being its 100% investment in TEEC Holdings, the Company's intermediate holding company.

The following table shows subsidiaries of the Company. As the Company is regarded as an Investment Entity as referred to in Note 2, this subsidiary has not been consolidated in the preparation of the financial statements.

Investment	Place of Business	Ownership interest as at 31 March 2021

TEEC Holdings	United Kingdom	100%

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the period interest totalling £53,497 was earned on the Company's long-term interest-bearing loan between the Company and its subsidiary. At the period end, £53,497 was outstanding.

The loan to TEEC Holdings Limited is unsecured; the underlying loan from TEEC Holding Limited to Harvest and Glasshouse is secured against the assets of the companies by a fixed and floating charge.

The AIFM and Investment Manager

The Company and Triple Point Investment Management LLP have entered into the Investment Management Agreement pursuant to which the Investment Manager has been given responsibility, subject to the overall supervision of the Board, for active discretionary investment management of the Company's Portfolio in accordance with the Company's Investment Objective and Policy.

As the entity appointed to be responsible for risk management and portfolio management, the Investment Manager is the Company's AIFM. The Investment Manager has full discretion under the Investment Management Agreement to make investments in accordance with the Company's Investment Policy from time to time.
