Interim Management Statement

DIVERSE INCOME TRUST PLC

Interim Management Statement - Three Months to 28 February 2013

Diverse Income Trust plc (the "Company") presents its interim management
statement for the period 1 December 2012 to 28 February 2013. This constitutes
the Company's second interim management statement for the financial year ending
31 May 2013, as required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rule 4.3.

Investment Objective

The Company's investment objective is to provide an attractive level of
dividends coupled with capital growth over the long term. In its first year the
Company met its target annualised dividend yield of 4%. The Company intends to
pay dividends on a quarterly basis and will seek to grow the dividend
progressively.

The Company will invest primarily in quoted UK companies with a wide range of
market capitalisations with a long term bias toward small and mid equities. The
Company may also invest in large cap companies, including FTSE 100
constituents, where it is believed that this will increase shareholder value.

The Manager will adopt a stock specific approach in managing the Company's
portfolio and therefore sector weightings will be of secondary consideration.
As a result of this approach, the Company's portfolio will not track any
benchmark index.

Review of the Period

Despite some concerns over cutbacks due to the US budget ceiling, equity
markets have performed well in the three months to the end of February. The
FTSE All-Share appreciated by 9.3%. Income stocks tend to be less volatile and
tend to rise less abruptly. Even so many of the smaller companies in the
portfolio continued to attract greater interest and the Company's ordinary
share NAV (excluding revenue) appreciated by 13.1% in the period.

Following an open offer, placing and offer for subscription launched on 20
November 2012, 62 million C shares were issued on 17 December 2012. In the
period between 17 December 2012 and 28 February 2013, the C share portfolio has
appreciated by 5.7%. This capital has been progressively invested. As announced
on 7 March 2013, the calculation date for the conversion of the C shares is 21
March 2013, and they are due to convert to ordinary shares at close of business
on 25 March 2013.
