SUMMARY INFORMATION

The Company

TwentyFour Income Fund Limited (the â€œCompanyâ€) was incorporated with limited liability in Guernsey, as a closed-ended investment company on 11 January 2013. The Companyâ€™s shares were listed with a Premium Listing on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2013.

Investment Objective and Investment Policy

The Companyâ€™s investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns principally through income distributions.

Following the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 16 December 2015, Shareholders approved the change in investment policy to the one set out below. Full details were set out in the circular dated 25 November 2015 (â€œthe Circularâ€) which is available on the Companyâ€™s website (www.twentyfourincomefund.com).

The Companyâ€™s investment policy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of UK and European Asset Backed Securities.

The Company will maintain a Portfolio diversified by issuer, it being anticipated that the Portfolio will comprise at least 50 Asset Backed Securities at all times.

The Portfolio must comply, as at each date an investment is made, with the following restrictions:

(i) no more than 20 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be backed by collateral in any single
country (save that this restriction will not apply to Northern European countries); and

(ii) no more than 5 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be exposed to any single Asset Backed
Security or issuer of Asset Backed Securities; and

(iii) no more than 10 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be exposed in aggregate to instruments not deemed securities for the purposes of FSMA.

As an exception to the requirements set out above the Portfolio Manager is permitted to purchase new investments at any time when the Portfolio does not comply with one or more of those restrictions so long as, at the time of investment:

Â· the asset purchased will be compliant with the single country restriction above (even where following the purchase more than 20 per cent. of the Portfolio will be backed by collateral in another single country due to market movements);

Â· the asset purchased will be compliant with the single Asset Backed Security/issuer exposure restriction above (even where following the purchase more than 5 per cent. of the Portfolio value will be exposed to another single Asset Backed Security or issuer due to market movements); and

Â· such purchase does not make the Portfolio, in aggregate, less compliant with any of (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

The Company will not employ gearing or derivatives for investment purposes. The Company may use borrowing for short-term liquidity purposes, which could be achieved through a loan facility or other types of collateralised borrowing instruments including repurchase transactions and stock lending. The Directors will restrict the borrowings of the Company to 10% of the Companyâ€™s Net Asset Value (â€œNAVâ€) at the time of drawdown.

Target Returns

The Company has a target annual net total return on the Companyâ€™s NAV of between 6 and 9 per cent. per annum, which includes quarterly dividends with a target yield each financial year of 6 per cent. or higher, of the Issue Price.*

Shareholder Information

Northern Trust International Fund Administration (Guernsey) Limited (the â€œAdministratorâ€) is responsible for calculating the NAV per share of the Company. The unaudited NAV per ordinary redeemable share will be calculated as at the close of business on the last business day of every week and the last business day of every month by the Administrator and will be announced by a Regulatory News Service the following business day.

Ongoing Charges

Ongoing charges for the year ended 31 March 2016 have been calculated in accordance with the AICâ€™s recommended methodology. The ongoing charges for the year ended 31 March 2016 were 0.96% (31 March 2015: 0.97%).

* This is a target only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company will make any distributions at all. This target return should not be taken as an indication of the Companyâ€™s expected or actual current or future results. The Companyâ€™s actual return will depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the size of the Issue, the number of Ordinary Shares in respect of which Realisation Elections are made and the Companyâ€™s total expense ratio. Potential investors should decide for themselves whether or not the return is reasonable and achievable in deciding whether to invest in or retain or increase their investment in the Company. See note 16 for further detail.

CHAIRMANâ€™S STATEMENT

for the year ended 31 March 2016

I am pleased to present my report on the Companyâ€™s progress for the year ended 31 March 2016.

For the majority of the period the Companyâ€™s shares continued to trade at a premium, as they had done since launch, with the average premium during the year being 4.16%. The premium however saw material compression from late October onwards as investors recognised that it had grown significantly, largely due to the Company not having issued shares since October 2014. In addition the third anniversary of the Company, with the associated redemption option for investors and expected further issuance of shares, was always likely to put downward pressure on the premium. The Board has taken comfort that a reasonable premium has been established again more recently after the Portfolio Manager conducted an extensive series of meetings with investors prior to the Companyâ€™s reorganisation and fund raising effective in March 2016. Indeed the Company has been able to issue 9.65 million shares at a small premium since the year to meet investor demand. The Board is willing to issue further shares as a premium management mechanism, subject to the Portfolio Managers confirming that attractive investment opportunities are available in the market.

The Net Asset Value (â€œNAVâ€) total return on the shares from launch to 31st March 2016 was 26.44%. While the NAV per Share dropped 16.73p during the year, the income component of the return to investors remained strong and the Company declared three dividends of 1.5p per share, and a final dividend of 2.64p per share in respect of the year.

Initially the NAV benefited from a continuation of the trend that was seen towards the end of the last financial year as spreads on the portfolio continued to tighten, however there was subsequently strong supply in the UK non-conforming part of the market which, along with a period of material uncertainty created by the sale of a Â£13bn pool of UK mortgages by UK Asset Resolution, led to spread widening and price declines. Further negative sentiment was driven by the ineffectiveness of the European Central Bankâ€™s Asset Backed Securities (â€œABSâ€) Purchase Programme and the introduction of Solvency II for insurance companies.

More recently the ABS market has been driven less by these internal technical factors, and more by risk sentiment across all financial markets taking a material turn for the worse during the first two months of 2016. Importantly, however, the fundamental performance of the Companyâ€™s investments has remained strong, and the investment opportunity at the point of the capital raise in March 2016 was as good as it had been since the Companyâ€™s launch. While sentiment undoubtedly meant that less shares were issued than expected, raising additional gross proceeds of Â£37.7 million in such an environment was a most encouraging achievement. A total of 6,625,189 Ordinary Shares were elected for the Realisation Opportunity as the Company ended its initial three year term, therefore the first Â£6.6 million was applied to enable the redemption of Ordinary Shares, with the Â£31.1 million balance being available (net of the costs of the Transaction) for investment in accordance with the Companyâ€™s investment policy. There were two further issues of equity in March taking the total gross proceeds before costs and expenses to Â£44.4 million for the period. This also allowed the Company to take advantage of some very attractive opportunities in March.

In anticipation of the redemption option, the Board discussed with the Portfolio Manager whether any changes to the Companyâ€™s investment remit would be needed for it to remain relevant for a further three year period. The suggested changes were subsequently approved with strong investor support. However, given the recent repricing in the European ABS market, it is not expected that these changes will need to be implemented in the near future.

The ongoing investment opportunity remains extremely attractive, however uncertainty remains in global financial markets, driven most recently by the impact of the result of the UK referendum on EU membership. Where this has created increasing value, and a good opportunity for further growth of the Fund, I take comfort in the Portfolio Managerâ€™s confidence that this does not reflect any stress in the credit quality of the portfolio. I remain confident of the Fundâ€™s ability to fulfil its objectives.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERâ€™S REPORT

for the year ended 31 March 2016

Market Commentary

The twelve month period to the end of March 2016 was one which presented significant ongoing issues to all markets from a variety of sources. Whilst the period saw the Companyâ€™s NAV per Share and Share Price drop 16.74p and 22.25p respectively, dividends for the period totalled 7.14p, significantly ahead of the 6p target.

The period opened with the credit markets trading at relatively wide levels owing to a deterioration of confidence in the ability of Greece to stand by the terms of its bailout and make good on expected future repayments. This was a factor that overshadowed markets until July, and raised the possibility of Greece walking away from the negotiating table late in the process, and seeking a mandate from the electorate via a referendum. The effect of the governmentâ€™s rhetoric upon the goodwill of the countryâ€™s creditors created significant instability in most markets.

April also saw questioning around expectations of the US Federal Reserveâ€™s (â€œFedâ€™sâ€) timetable to begin raising interest rates, after weak data from Q1 2015 was published. The uncertainty surrounding the timing of any move overshadowed sentiment until the December meeting when the Fed Fundâ€™s rate was raised to 0.25 to 0.5%. However since then uncertainty as to the future path of rates has continued and financial markets have faced sustained volatility.

ABS performance during the early stages of the twelve month period was stable, while sovereign bonds and other parts of fixed income suffered. This outperformance was partially driven by expectations for continued buying from the European Central Bank (â€œECBâ€) under the ongoing ABS Purchase Programme. However, while spreads in Prime, Buy to Let RMBS, Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (â€œCMBSâ€) and Collateralised Loan Obligations (â€œCLOâ€) displayed resilience, spreads in UK Non-Conforming Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (â€œRMBSâ€) drifted wider as supply in primary markets increased.

In May 2015, Peripheral RMBS began to display weakness in sympathy with market concerns around Greece. Spread widening was more evident in June as the market was initially distracted by the annual ABS conference, and subsequently as banksâ€™ dealers lightened inventory prior to their half year end.

Throughout the year two ABS specific issues weighed on the market; the imposition of Solvency II and the ECBâ€™s ABS Purchase Programme. Solvency II is a new set of capital requirements for insurance companies, which came into effect at the start of 2016. The treatment of ABS under this regulation has been widely criticised for being overly punitive. While there has been a small degree of compromise, the regulations in their final form still made it materially less efficient for insurers to maintain their ABS positions, and selling was seen throughout 2015 as a result. In contrast, the ECBâ€™s anticipated actions should have boosted the market via ABS purchases. However the pace and volume of trades was significantly below market expectations, and the benefits expected across the board never materialised.

While July saw the resolution of the more immediate Greek problems, the market was kept in check as concerns mounted that Chinese growth was struggling to maintain momentum. Chinese equity markets sold off heavily, and in response the Chinese government took unprecedented measures by suspending hundreds of stocks, banning large investors from selling and instructing a $500bn state run fund to initiate support for the market. This continued into August when falling energy and commodity prices further hit sentiment, and the Peopleâ€™s Bank of China depreciated the Yuan on consecutive days, leading to a large and broad-based equity market sell-off.

The focus on China and the Fed continued throughout August and September, putting significant pressure on asset performance in a number of sectors. Spreads on UK Non-Conforming RMBS bonds widened, and were joined by UK Buy to Let in September, again a sector that had seen significant recent supply. In November the outcome of the sale of the mortgage pool backing the Granite (Northern Rock) RMBS transaction created uncertainty as to whether it would result in the maturity of an existing multi-billion pound transaction, or the refinancing of the pool into a larger transaction. This put pressure on spreads in UK Non-Prime RMBS until the market deemed the ultimate outcome favourable. All outstanding Granite bonds were called at par, providing investors with significant cash to invest into a smaller market place.

The support this gave the ABS market helped spreads stabilise and perform better through the turn of the year, and notably outperform the volatility seen elsewhere in January. However with the extreme moves seen in all other markets, as banks pulled back capital and pushed bid offer spreads wider, the ABS market was forced to follow, and material price declines were seen throughout February. There was, however, a degree of recovery in March as a result of the ECBs expansion of their market stimulus.

Fundamental performance of underlying assets during the period remained strong. The drivers of these, particularly in the consumer space, continued to improve with employment, wage and house price data either stabilizing or improving in the majority of geographies in which the Company invests. The disconnection between price/yield on one hand and credit risk on the other, has materially improved the risk/return dynamic for large parts of the market.

When the Company was launched investors were given the option of redemption of their holdings after three years. It was anticipated that this would be a point where the Companyâ€™s future would be reassessed in light of prevailing investment opportunities and its likely ability to continue to fulfil its objective. As a result proposals were developed during the last quarter of 2015 to adjust the investment remit of the Company to enable it to stay relevant for a further three year period. These amendments were largely aimed at bringing the investment mandate in line with what the Portfolio Manager had initially envisaged at IPO, and which now allow the Company greater freedom within the same investment universe, as opposed to entirely new investment criteria.

Support for these changes was strong, as was appetite from existing investors for the Company to continue for another three years. While the market environment during the investor roadshow was not always positive, the company raised Â£31.1 million of net new funds allowing it to access the extraordinary value available in the market at the time. Looking forward, the Portfolio Manager remains convinced of the ongoing opportunity in the market and the inherent value in the current portfolio.

Foreign Exchange Accounting

The Companyâ€™s policy is to hedge foreign exchange risk. The currency markets experienced significant volatility during the year, due in part to the market events mentioned above. The EUR/GBP exchange rate experienced moves in the range of 14% and finished 9% higher at the year end. The Company has significant exposure to Euro assets, representing 77% of the Investment Portfolio, which remains fully hedged.

Currency risk is hedged using â€œrolling forwardsâ€ with a one month maturity, selling forward a notional amount equivalent to the market value of the assets. Any movements in foreign exchange rates are monitored daily and the hedge is adjusted when necessary to ensure that currency exposure remains within strict limits. The Company operates to a tolerance of +/-0.50% exposure to the NAV on each non-GBP currency.

Foreign Exchange hedging is used to manage the portfolioâ€™s currency risk efficiently and not to enhance investment returns.

The net foreign currency gain or loss is recorded, in accordance with the hedging policy and IFRS, within the net loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (see Statement of Comprehensive Income).

Market Outlook

The majority of negative drivers under which the European ABS market has laboured for the past year are largely gone, or priced in, in the view of the Portfolio Manager. Solvency II has been implemented and insurance companies have adjusted their holdings of ABS as a result. The ECBâ€™s ABS Purchase Programme has disappointed since early 2015, and the UK market is priced to reflect the resulting changes in supply and demand.

Current ABS pricing is attractive when compared to recent years, and the type and level of risk presents a very attractive opportunity for both income and capital gain. However the Portfolio Manager recognises that market sentiment is far from stable and while performance of the underlying asset pools and securitisation structures are within expectations, price moves across fixed income could be driven by external factors as they have been in the past. This should present opportunities for the Company to access further attractive investment opportunities, as buyers with long term capital will typically prove to be scarce at points of market weakness.

While it is not expected that the Bank of Englandâ€™s Monetary Policy Committee will adjust the Bank Rate in 2016, the Company will benefit from this move when it does happen.

UK Referendum on EU Membership

The UK referendum was included in the Portfolio Manager strategy for a number of months prior to the 23rd June. While markets discounted the final result to varying degrees in the run-up to the vote, the Portfolio Manager decided to implement defensive measures in the event of a vote to leave in recognition of the potential volatility that could be experienced. As such the cash holding for the fund was increased, and a put option was purchased, giving the fund upside from a decrease in the value of sterling versus the dollar. The put option was implemented purely as a mitigant to market risk that could have a significantly negative impact on ABS prices, and was chosen as a cost effective and liquid way of reducing exposure. These strategies benefitted the fund given the result of the referendum, however the Portfolio Manager does not consider the outlook to have changed materially and see potential for further price volatility in light of ongoing challenges to sentiment and current pricing level.

DIRECTORSâ€™ REPORT

The Directors present their Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Business Review

The Company

TwentyFour Income Fund Limited (the â€œCompanyâ€) was incorporated with limited liability in Guernsey, as a closed-ended investment company on 11 January 2013. The Companyâ€™s Shares were listed with a Premium Listing on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2013.

Investment Objective and Policy

The Companyâ€™s investment objective and policy is set out in the Summary Information section.

Discount/Premium to Net Asset Value

The Board monitors and manages the level of the share price discount/premium to NAV. In managing this, the Company operates a share buyback facility whereby it may purchase, subject to various terms as set out in its Articles and in accordance with the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, up to 14.99% of the Companyâ€™s Ordinary Redeemable Shares in issue immediately following Admission for trading on the London Stock Exchange. The Company offered investors a realisation opportunity whereby they may have elected to realise all or part of their Shareholding in the Company after the initial three year period ending 6 March 2016 subject to the aggregate NAV of the continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares on the last Business Day before Reorganisation being not less than Â£50 million. Subsequently, the realisation opportunity shall be offered as at the date of the annual general meeting of the Company in each third year subject to the aggregate NAV of the continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares on the last Business Day before Reorganisation being not less than Â£100 million.

Shareholder Information

Shareholder information is set out in the Corporate Information section.

Going Concern

The Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements in view of the Companyâ€™s holdings in cash and cash equivalents and the liquidity of investments and the income deriving from those investments, meaning the Company has adequate financial resources and suitable management arrangements in place to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements.

The Company also achieved its dividend target of 6% of the issue price for the year ended
31 March 2016, meaning that as per the Companyâ€™s Articles, no Continuation Vote is required.

Viability Statement

Under the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board is required to make a â€œviability statementâ€ which considers the Companyâ€™s current position and principal risks and uncertainties combined with an assessment of the prospects of the Company in order to be able to state that they have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operation over the period of their assessment. The Board considers that three years is an appropriate period to assess the viability of the Company given the uncertainty of the investment world and the strategy period. In selecting this period the Board considered the environment within which the Company operates and the risks associated with the Company.

The Companyâ€™s prospects are driven by its business model and strategy. The Companyâ€™s aim is to provide investors with an attractive level of income with a high degree of certainty around that income and a focus on capital preservation in uncertain times, by investing in less liquid, high yielding asset backed securities.

The Boardâ€™s assessment of the Company over the three year period has been made with reference to the Companyâ€™s current position and prospects, the Companyâ€™s strategy, and the Boardâ€™s risk appetite having considered each of the Companyâ€™s principal risks and uncertainties summarised below.

The Board has also considered the Companyâ€™s cash flows and income flows, its likely ability to pay dividends and the portfolio analysis, with reference to:

Â· liquidity analysis, including but not limited to, the changes in liquidity of the Company over time based on the liquidity of the underlying assets

Â· foreign exchange analysis, including but not limited to, monitoring the effectiveness of the Companyâ€™s foreign exchange hedging strategy

Â· credit analysis, including but not limited to, analysing the current credit ratings and credit rating outlooks by the main rating agencies, as well as sufficient diversification across groups

Â· valuation analysis, including but not limited to, assessing the pricing accuracy of the underlying securities

In this context, the Boardâ€™s central case is that, notwithstanding the recent UK referendum vote to leave the European Union, the prospects for economic activity will remain such that the investment objective, policy and strategy of the Company will be viable for the foreseeable future through a period of at least three years from the year end, 31 March 2016.

In making this judgement, the Board has assessed that the main risks to the viability of the Company are key global and market uncertainties driven by factors external to the Company which in turn can impact on the liquidity and NAV of the investment portfolio. A simulation has been designed to estimate the impact of these uncertainties on the NAV of the Company at times of stress, such as the recent UK Brexit vote, based on historical performance data, using techniques which analyse how changes in the Companyâ€™s ability to generate income (by assessing different levels of reinvestment rates available as well as changes in FX income generation, over a 3 year period), would impact the annual dividend the Company is able to generate. All of the foregoing has been considered against the background of the Companyâ€™s dividend target.

Key assumptions covered by the Board in relation to the viability of the Company include:

Dividend Target

The ongoing viability of the Company and the validity of the going concern basis depend on the Company meeting its dividend target annually during the three-year period. In the event that the Company does not meet the dividend target annually during the three-year period as disclosed in note 19, an Ordinary Resolution will be put to the Shareholders, at the AGM following any reporting period in which the dividend target is not met, with the continuation vote requirements set out in note 16.

Realisation Opportunity

The realisation opportunity (full details are set out in note 16) is due to occur at the end of the three year term and is therefore low risk to the viability prospects of the Company.

Results

The results for the year are set out in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Directors proposed income distributions of Â£20,342,483 in respect of income available for distribution earned during the year ended 31 March 2016, a breakdown of which can be found in note 19. Distributions declared during the year amount to Â£26,468,018, as recognised in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

Income available for distribution in any income period comprises (a) the accrued income of the portfolio for the period, and (b) an additional amount to reflect any income purchased in the course of any share subscriptions that took place during the period (so as to ensure that the income yield of the shares is not diluted as a consequence of the issue of new shares during an income period) and (c) any income on the foreign exchange contracts created by the libor differentials between each foreign currency pair.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

At each Board meeting, the Directors consider a number of performance measures to assess the Companyâ€™s success in achieving its objectives. Below are the main KPIs which have been identified by the Board for determining the progress of the Company:

Â· Net Asset Value

Â· Share Price

Â· Discount/Premium

Â· Ongoing Charges

Â· Quarterly Dividends

Corporate Governance

The Board is committed to high standards of corporate governance and has implemented a framework for corporate governance which it considers to be appropriate for an investment company in order to comply with the principles of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the â€œUK Codeâ€). The Company is also required to comply with the Code of Corporate Governance (the â€œGFSC Codeâ€) issued by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission.

The Financial Reporting Council (the â€œFRCâ€) issued a revised UK Code in 2014, for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 October 2014. The Association of Investment Companies (the â€œAICâ€) updated the AIC Code of Corporate Governance (the â€œAIC Codeâ€) (including the Guernsey edition) and its Guide to Corporate Governance (the â€œAIC Guideâ€) to reflect the relevant changes to the FRC document in February 2015. The Board has adopted the revised code.

The UK Listing Authority requires all UK premium listing companies to disclose how they have complied with the provisions of the UK Code. This Corporate Governance Statement, together with the Going Concern Statement, Viability Statement and the Statement of Directorsâ€™ Responsibilities, indicates how the Company has complied with the principles of good governance of the UK Code and its requirements on Internal Control.

The Company is a member of the AIC and by complying with the AIC Code is deemed to comply with both the UK Code and the GFSC Code.

The Board has considered the principles and recommendations of the AIC Code, by reference to the guidance notes provided by the AIC Guide, and consider that reporting against these will provide appropriate information to shareholders. To ensure ongoing compliance with these principles the Board reviews a report from the Corporate Secretary at each quarterly meeting, identifying how the Company is in compliance and identifying any changes that might be necessary.

The AIC Code and the AIC Guide are available on the AICâ€™s website, www.theaic.co.uk. The UK Code is available in the Financial Reporting Councilâ€™s website, www.frc.org.uk.

Throughout the year ended 31 March 2016, the Company has complied with the recommendations of the AIC Code and thus the relevant provisions of the UK Code, except as set out below.

The UK Code includes provisions relating to:

Â· the role of the Chief Executive

Â· Executive Directorsâ€™ remuneration

Â· the need for an internal audit function

Â· the whistle blowing policy

Â· Senior Independent Director

Â· Remuneration Committee

Â· Nomination Committee

For the reasons set out in the AIC Guide, the Board considers these provisions are not relevant to the position of the Company as it is an externally managed investment company. The Company has therefore not reported further in respect of these provisions. The Directors are all non-executive and the Company does not have employees, hence no Chief Executive or whistle-blowing policy is required for the Company. The key service-providers all have whistleblowing policies in place. The Board is satisfied that any relevant issues can be properly considered by the Board.

Details of compliance with the AIC Code are noted below and in the succeeding sections. There have been no other instances of non-compliance, other than those noted above.

The Company has adopted a policy that the composition of the Board of Directors, which is required by the Companyâ€™s Articles, comprises of at least two persons, that at all times a majority of the Directors are independent of the Portfolio Manager and any company in the same group as the Portfolio Manager; the Chairman of the Board of Directors is free from any conflicts of interest and is independent of the Portfolio Manager and of any company in the same group as the Portfolio Manager; and that no more than one director, partner, employee or professional adviser to the Portfolio Manager or any company in the same group as the Portfolio Manager may be a Director of the Company at any one time.

The Companyâ€™s risk exposure and the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control systems are reviewed by the Audit Committee at its meetings and annually by the Board. The Board believes that the Company has adequate and effective systems in place to identify, mitigate and manage the risks to which it is exposed.

Role, Composition and Independence of the Board

The Board is the Companyâ€™s governing body and has overall responsibility for maximising the Companyâ€™s success by directing and supervising the affairs of the business and meeting the appropriate interests of shareholders and relevant stakeholders, while enhancing the value of the Company and also ensuring protection of investors. A summary of the Boardâ€™s responsibilities is as follows:

Â· statutory obligations and public disclosure;

Â· strategic matters and financial reporting;

Â· risk assessment and management including reporting compliance, governance,

monitoring and control; and

Â· other matters having a material effect on the Company.

The Boardâ€™s responsibilities for the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements are set out in the Statement of Directorsâ€™ Responsibilities.

The Board currently consists of four non-executive Directors, all of whom are considered to be independent of the Portfolio Manager and as prescribed by the Listing Rules.

The Board does not consider it appropriate to appoint a Senior Independent Director because they are all deemed to be independent by the Company. The Board considers it has the appropriate balance of diverse skills and experience, independence and knowledge of the Company and the wider sector, to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively and that no individual or group of individuals dominates decision making. The Chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board and ensuring its effectiveness.

Chairman

The Chairman is Trevor Ash. The Chairman of the Board must be independent for the purposes of Chapter 15 of the Listing Rules. Trevor Ash is considered independent because he:

Â· has no current or historical employment with the Portfolio Manager; and

Â· has no current directorships in any other investment funds managed by the

Portfolio Manager.

Board Role and Composition

The Board is required to ensure that the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Companyâ€™s position and performance, business model and strategy. In seeking to achieve this, the Directors have set out the Companyâ€™s investment objective and policy and have explained how the Board and its delegated Committees operate and how the Directors review the risk environment within which the Company operates and set appropriate risk controls. Furthermore, throughout the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements the Board has sought to provide further information to enable shareholders to have a fair, balanced and understandable view.

The Board has contractually delegated responsibility for the management of its investment portfolio, the arrangement of custodial and depositary services and the provision of accounting and company secretarial services.

The Board is responsible for the appointment and monitoring of all service providers to the Company.

The Directors are kept fully informed of investment and financial controls and other matters by all services providers that are relevant to the business of the Company and should be brought to the attention of the Directors.

Biographies for all the Directors can be found in the Board Members section.

The Board has also given careful consideration to the recommendations of the Davies Review. The Board has reviewed its composition and believes that the current appointments provide an appropriate range of skills, experience and diversity. In order to maintain its diversity, the Board is committed to continuing its implementation of the recommendations of the Davies Review as part of its succession planning over future years.

Directorsâ€™ Attendance at Meetings

The Board holds quarterly Board meetings, to discuss general management, structure, finance, corporate governance, marketing, risk management, compliance, asset allocation and gearing, contracts and performance. The quarterly Board meetings are the principal source of regular information for the Board enabling it to determine policy and to monitor performance, compliance and controls but these meetings are also supplemented by communication and discussions throughout the year.

A representative of the Portfolio Manager, AIFM, Administrator, Custodian and Depositary and Corporate Broker attends each Board meeting either in person or by telephone thus enabling the Board to fully discuss and review the Companyâ€™s operation and performance. Each Director has direct access to the Portfolio Manager and Company Secretary and may, at the expense of the Company, seek independent professional advice on any matter. Both appointment and removal of these parties is to be agreed by the Board as a whole.

The Audit Committee meets at least twice a year, Management Engagement Committee meets at least once a year and a dividend meeting is held quarterly. In addition, ad hoc meetings of the Board to review specific items between the regular scheduled quarterly meetings can be arranged. Between formal meetings there is regular contact with the Portfolio Manager, AIFM, Administrator, Custodian and Depositary and the Corporate Broker.

Attendance at the Board and Committee meetings during the year was as follows:

	Quarterly Board Meetings		Audit Committee Meetings		Management Engagement Committee Meetings		Ad hoc Committee Meetings
	Held	Attended	Held	Attended	Held	Attended	Held	Attended

Trevor Ash	4	4	3	3	1	1	10	9
Ian Burns	4	4	3	3	1	-	10	7
Richard Burwood	4	4	3	3	1	1	10	10
Jeannette Etherden	4	4	3	3	1	1	10	7

The Board has also given careful consideration to the recommendations of the Davies Review on "Women on Boards". The Board has reviewed its composition and believes that the current appointments provide an appropriate range of skills, experience and diversity. In order to maintain its diversity, the Board is committed to continuing its implementation of the recommendations of the Davies Review as part of its succession planning over future years.

Board Performance and Training

The Board undertook an evaluation in July 2015. This evaluation addressed six areas, Board Composition and meeting process, Board information, training, Board dynamics, Board accountability and effectiveness and an evaluation of the Chairman. There were no adverse findings from this evaluation.

Retirement by Rotation

Under the terms of their appointment, each Director is required to retire by rotation and be subject to re-election at least every three years. The Directors are required to seek re-election on an annual basis if they have already served for more than nine years. The Company may terminate the appointment of a Director immediately on serving written notice and no compensation is payable upon termination of office as a director of the Company becoming effective.

Board Committees and their Activities

Terms of Reference

All Terms of Reference of the Boardâ€™s Committees are available from the Administrator upon request.

Management Engagement Committee

The Board has established a Management Engagement Committee with formal duties and responsibilities. The Management Engagement Committee commits to meeting at least once a year and comprises the entire Board with Trevor Ash appointed as Chairman. These duties and responsibilities include the regular review of the performance of and contractual arrangements with the Portfolio Manager and other service providers and the preparation of the Committee's annual opinion as to the Portfolio Manager's services.

The Management Engagement Committee carried out a review of the performance and capabilities of the Portfolio Manager at its September 2015 meeting and the Board recommend the continued appointment of TwentyFour Asset Management LLP as Portfolio Manager is in the interest of shareholders.

Audit Committee

An Audit Committee has been established consisting of all Directors with Ian Burns appointed as Chairman. The terms of reference of the Audit Committee provide that the committee shall be responsible, amongst other things, for reviewing the Interim and Annual Financial Statements, considering the appointment and independence of external auditors, discussing with the external auditors the scope and results from the audit and reviewing the Companyâ€™s compliance with the AIC Code.

Further details on the Audit Committee can be found in the Audit Committee Report.

Nomination Committee

There is no separate Nomination Committee. The Board as a whole fulfils the function of a Nomination Committee. Whilst the Directors take the lead in the appointment of new Directors, any proposal for a new Director will be discussed and approved by all members of the Board.

Remuneration Committee

In view of its non-executive and independent nature, the Board considers that it is not appropriate for there to be a separate Remuneration Committee as anticipated by the AIC Code. The Board as a whole fulfils the functions of the Remuneration Committee, although the Board has included a separate Directorsâ€™ Remuneration Report of these Financial Statements.

International Tax Reporting

For purposes of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, the Company registered with the US Internal Revenue Service (â€œIRSâ€) as a Guernsey reporting Foreign Financial Institution (â€œFFIâ€), received a Global Intermediary Identification Number (8V9U53.99999.SL.831), and can be found on the IRS FFI list.

The Common Reporting Standard (â€œCRSâ€) is a standard developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (â€œOECDâ€) and is a global approach to the automatic exchange of tax information. Guernsey has now adopted the CRS which came into effect on 1 January 2016.

The CRS has replaced the UK Inter-Governmental Agreement (â€œIGAâ€) from 1 January 2016. However, it will still be necessary to submit the 2014 and 2015 reports for the UK IGA by 30 June 2016. The first report for CRS will be made by the Director of Income Tax in Guernsey by 30 June 2017.

The Company is subject to Guernsey regulations and guidance based on reciprocal information sharing inter-governmental agreements which Guernsey has entered into with the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The Board will take the necessary actions to ensure that the Company is compliant with Guernsey regulations and guidance in this regard.

Strategy

The strategy for the Company is to target less liquid, higher yielding asset backed securities. These securities, whilst fundamentally robust, do not offer enough liquidity for use in the typical daily mark-to-market UCITs funds, but are well suited to a traded closed-ended vehicle, where investors can obtain liquidity by trading shares on the London Stock Exchange. This part of the fixed income market has been largely overlooked and therefore represents attractive relative value. The strategy aims to generate a dividend in the Reporting Period ending 31 March 2017 of 6 pence per Ordinary Share and in each subsequent Reporting Period such Dividend Target as the Directors determine at their absolute discretion from time to time, with all excess income being distributed to investors at the year-end of the Company.

Internal Controls

The Board is ultimately responsible for establishing and maintaining the Companyâ€™s system of internal financial and operating control and for maintaining and reviewing its effectiveness. The Companyâ€™s risk matrix continues to be the core element of the Companyâ€™s risk management process in establishing the Companyâ€™s system of internal financial and reporting control. The risk matrix is prepared and maintained by the Board which initially identifies the risks facing the Company and then collectively assesses the likelihood of each risk, the impact of those risks and the strength of the controls operating over each risk. The system of internal financial and operating control is designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and by their nature can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against misstatement and loss.

These controls aim to ensure that assets of the Company are safeguarded, proper accounting records are maintained and the financial information for publication is reliable. The Board confirms that there is an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Company.

This process has been in place for the year under review and up to the date of approval of this Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements and is reviewed by the Board and is in accordance with the AIC Code.

The AIC Code requires Directors to conduct at least annually a review of the Companyâ€™s system of internal financial and operating control, covering all controls, including financial, operational, compliance and risk management. The Board has evaluated the systems of internal controls of the Company. In particular, it has prepared a process for identifying and evaluating the significant risks affecting the Company and the policies by which these risks are managed. The Board also considers whether the appointment of an internal auditor is required and has determined that there is no requirement for a direct internal audit function.

The Board has delegated the day to day responsibilities for the management of the Companyâ€™s investment portfolio, the provision of depositary services and administration, registrar and corporate secretarial functions including the independent calculation of the Companyâ€™s NAV and the production of the Annual Report and Financial Statements which are independently audited.

Formal contractual agreements have been put in place between the Company and providers of these services. Even though the Board has delegated responsibility for these functions, it retains accountability for these functions and is responsible for the systems of internal control. At each quarterly Board meeting, compliance reports are provided by the Administrator, Company Secretary, Portfolio Manager, AIFM and Depositary. The Board also receives confirmation from the Administrator of its accreditation under its Service Organisation Controls 1 report.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Board is responsible for the Companyâ€™s system of internal financial and reporting controls and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Board is satisfied that by using the Companyâ€™s risk matrix as its core element in establishing the Companyâ€™s system, internal financial and reporting controls while monitoring the investment limits and restrictions set out in the Companyâ€™s investment objective and policy, that the Board has carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company.

The principal risks which have been identified and the steps which are taken by the Board to mitigate them are as follows:

Market risk

The underlying investments comprised in the portfolio are subject to market risk. The Company is therefore at risk that market events may affect performance and in particular may affect the value of the Companyâ€™s investments which are valued on a marked to market basis. Market risk is risk associated with changes in market prices, including spreads, interest rates, economic uncertainty and changes in regulation. While the Company, through its investments in Asset Backed Securities, intends to hold a diversified portfolio of assets, any of these factors including specific market events, such as the global financial crisis and levels of sovereign debt, may have a material impact which could be materially detrimental to the performance of the Companyâ€™s investments. Under extreme market conditions the portfolio may not benefit from diversification.

Liquidity risk

Investments made by the Company may be relatively illiquid and this may limit the ability of the Company to realise its investments and in turn pay dividends. Substantially all of the assets of the Company are invested in Asset Backed Securities. There may be no active market in the Companyâ€™s interests in Asset Backed Securities. The Company does not have redemption rights in relation to any of its investments. As a consequence, the value of the Companyâ€™s investments may be materially adversely affected.

Credit risk

The Company may not achieve the Dividend Target and investors may not get back the full value of their investment because it is invested in Asset Backed Securities comprising debt securities issued by companies, trusts or other investment vehicles which, compared to bonds issued or guaranteed by governments, are generally exposed to greater risk of default in the repayment of the capital provided to the issuer or interest payments due to the Company. The amount of credit risk is indicated by the issuerâ€™s credit rating which is assigned by one or more internationally recognised rating agencies. This does not amount to a guarantee of the issuerâ€™s creditworthiness but generally provides a strong indicator of the likelihood of default. Securities which have a lower credit rating are generally considered to have a higher credit risk and a greater possibility of default than more highly rated securities. There is a risk that an internationally recognised rating agency may assign incorrect or inappropriate credit ratings to issuers. Issuers often issue securities which are ranked in order of seniority which, in the event of default, would be reflected in the priority in which investors might be paid back.

The level of defaults in the portfolio and the losses suffered on such defaults may increase in the event of adverse financial or credit market conditions.

In the event of a default under an Asset Backed Security, the Companyâ€™s right to recover under the Asset Backed Security will depend on the ability of the Company to exercise any rights that it has against the borrower under the insolvency legislation of the jurisdiction in which the borrower is incorporated. As a creditor, the Companyâ€™s level of protection and rights of enforcement may therefore vary significantly from one country to another, may change over time and may be subject to rights and protections which the relevant borrower or its other creditors might be entitled to exercise. Refer to the Investment Objective and Policy in the Summary Information section for information regarding investment restrictions currently in place in order to manage credit risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through its investments in predominantly Euro denominated assets. The Companyâ€™s share capital is denominated in Sterling and its expenses are incurred in Sterling. The Companyâ€™s financial statements are maintained and presented in Sterling. Amongst other factors affecting the foreign exchange markets, events in the Eurozone may have an impact upon the value of the Euro which in turn will impact the value of the Companyâ€™s Euro denominated investments. The Company manages its exposure to currency movements by using spot and forward foreign exchange contracts, which are rolled forward periodically.

Reinvestment risk

The Portfolio Managers are conscious of the challenge to reinvest any monies that result from principal and income payments and to minimise reinvestment risk as much as possible. Cashflow analysis is conducted on an ongoing basis and is an important part of the Portfolio Management process, ensuring such proceeds can be invested efficiently and in the best interests of the Fund.

The Portfolio Managers expect amortisations of around Â£40m over the next 12 months, however the investment opportunities at the end of the period were good as seen while investing the Â£37m capital raise, and while market conditions are always subject to change, the Portfolio Managers do not currently foresee any reinvestment significantly impacting the yield and affecting each quarterâ€™s minimum dividend target. The Portfolio Managers also recognise the need to be opportunistic as and when market conditions are particularly favourable in order to reinvest any proceeds.

Other risks and uncertainties

Operational risks

The Company is exposed to the risk arising from any failures of systems and controls in the operations of the Portfolio Manager, Administrator, AIFM, Custodian and the Depositary amongst others. The Board and its Audit Committee regularly review reports from the Portfolio Manager and the Administrator on their internal controls. The Administrator will report to the Portfolio Manager any valuation issues which will be brought to the Board for final approval as required.

Accounting, Legal and Regulatory risks

The Company is exposed to the risk that it may fail to maintain accurate accounting records or fail to comply with requirements of its Admission document. The accounting records prepared by the Administrator are reviewed by the Portfolio Manager. The Administrator, Broker and Portfolio Manager provide regular updates to the Board on compliance with the Admission document and changes in regulation. Changes in the legal or the regulatory environment can have a major impact on some classes of debt. The Portfolio Manager monitors this and takes appropriate action.

Income Recognition risk

The Board considers income recognition to be a principal risk and uncertainty of the Company as the Portfolio Manager estimates the remaining expected life of the security, which has an impact on the effective interest rate of the Asset Backed Securities which in turn impacts the calculation of interest income. The Board asked the Audit Committee to consider this risk with work undertaken by the Audit Committee as discussed in the Audit Committee Report. As a result of the work undertaken by the Audit Committee, the Board is satisfied that income is appropriately stated in all material aspects in the Financial Statements.

Cyber security risks

The Company is exposed to the risk arising from a successful cyber-attack through its service providers. The Companyâ€™s service providers provide regular updates to the Board on any cyber security issues and how they are mitigating this risk. The Board is satisfied that the Companyâ€™s service providers have the relevant controls in place to mitigate this risk.

Shareholder Engagement

The Board welcomes shareholdersâ€™ views and places great importance on communication with its shareholders. Shareholders wishing to meet the Chairman and other Board members should contact the Companyâ€™s Administrator.

The Portfolio Manager and Listing Sponsor maintain a regular dialogue with institutional shareholders, the feedback from which is reported to the Board.

The Companyâ€™s Annual General Meeting (â€œAGMâ€) provides a forum for shareholders to meet and discuss issues of the Company and shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the resolutions as specified in the Notice of AGM. The Notice of the AGM and the results are released to the London Stock Exchange in the form of an announcement. Board members will be available to respond to shareholdersâ€™ questions at the AGM.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORSâ€™ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable Guernsey law and regulations.

Guernsey Company law requires the Directors to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (â€œIFRSâ€) and applicable law.

The Financial Statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.

In preparing these Financial Statements, the Directors are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements; and

- prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors confirm that they have complied with these requirements in preparing the Financial Statements.

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements have been properly prepared in accordance with The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. They also have the responsibility for the maintenance and the integrity of the Companyâ€™s website.

The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information in relation to the Company website; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.

Legislation in Guernsey governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge

(a) The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 March 2016.

(b) The Annual Report includes information detailed in the Chairmanâ€™s Statement, Portfolio Managerâ€™s Report, Directorsâ€™ Report, Directorsâ€™ Remuneration Report, Audit Committee Report, Alternative Investment Fund Managerâ€™s Report and Depositary Statement provides a fair review of the information required by:

(i) DTR 4.1.8 and DTR 4.1.9 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being a fair review of the Company business and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company; and

(ii) DTR 4.1.11 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred since the end of the financial year and the likely future development of the Company.

In the opinion of the Board, the Financial Statements taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary to assess the Companyâ€™s performance, business model and strategy.

DIRECTORSâ€™ REMUNERATION REPORT

The Directors' remuneration report has been prepared on behalf of the Directors in accordance with the UK Code as issued by the UK Listing Authority. An ordinary resolution for the approval of the annual remuneration report will be put to the shareholders at the AGM to be held on
22 September 2016.

Remuneration Policy

The Company's policy in regard to Directors' remuneration is to ensure that the Company maintains a competitive fee structure in order to recruit, retain and motivate non-executive Directors of excellent quality in the overall interests of shareholders.

The Directors do not consider it necessary for the Company to establish a separate Remuneration Committee. All of the matters recommended by the UK Code that would be delegated to such a committee are considered by the Board as a whole.

It is the responsibility of the Board as a whole to determine and approve the Directors' fees, following a recommendation from the Chairman who will have given the matter proper consideration, having regard to the level of fees payable to non-executive Directors in the industry generally, the role that individual Directors fulfil in respect of Board and Committee responsibilities and the time committed to the Company's affairs. The Chairman's remuneration is decided and approved separately by the Board as a whole.

No element of the Directors' remuneration is performance related, nor does any Director have any entitlement to pensions, share options or any long term incentive plans from the Company.

Remuneration

The Directors of the Company are remunerated for their services at such a rate as the Directors determine, provided that the aggregate amount of such fees does not exceed Â£150,000 per annum.

Directors are remunerated in the form of fees, payable quarterly in arrears, to the Director personally. No Directors have been paid additional remuneration outside the normal Directorsâ€™ fees and expenses.

In the year ended 31 March 2016 the Directors received the following annual remuneration in the form of Directorsâ€™ fees which included receiving a one off payment of Â£5,000 each for additional work undertaken during the year in relation to the issue of New Ordinary Shares and the change in investment policy:

Trevor Ash (Chairman of the Board)	Â£35,000
Ian Burns (Audit Committee Chairman)	Â£32,500
Richard Burwood	Â£30,000
Jeannette Etherden	Â£30,000
Total	Â£127,500

The remuneration policy set out above is the one applied for the year ended 31 March 2016. With effect from 1 April 2016, the Directorsâ€™ fees increased by Â£5,000 each.

Directors' and Officersâ€™ liability insurance cover is maintained by the Company on behalf of the Directors.

The Directors were appointed as non-executive Directors by letters issued in January 2013. Each Directorâ€™s appointment letter provides that, upon the termination of his/her appointment, he/she must resign in writing and all records remain the property of the Company. The Directorsâ€™ appointments can be terminated in accordance with the Articles and without compensation. There is no notice period specified in the Articles for the removal of Directors. The Articles provide that the office of director shall be terminated by, among other things: (a) written resignation; (b) unauthorised absences from board meetings for six months or more; (c) unanimous written request of the other directors; and (d) an ordinary resolution of the Company.

Under the terms of their appointment, each Director is required to retire by rotation and be subject to re-election at least every three years with the first re-election due to take place at the AGM to be held on 22 September 2016. The Directors are required to annually seek re-election if they have already served for more than nine years. The Company may terminate the appointment of a Director immediately on serving written notice and no compensation is payable upon termination of office as a director of the Company becoming effective.

The amounts payable to Directors shown in note 15 were for services as non-executive Directors.

No Director has a service contract with the Company, nor are any such contracts proposed.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

On the following sections, we present the Audit Committee's Report, setting out the responsibilities of the Audit Committee and its key activities for the year ended 31 March 2016.

The Audit Committee has continued its detailed scrutiny of the appropriateness of the Companyâ€™s system of risk management and internal controls, the robustness and integrity of the Companyâ€™s financial reporting, along with the external audit process. The Committee has devoted time to ensuring that the internal financial and operating controls and processes have been properly established, documented and implemented.

During the course of the year, the information that the Audit Committee has received has been timely and clear and has enabled the Audit Committee to discharge its duties effectively.

The Audit Committee supports the aims of the UK Code and the best practice recommendations of other corporate governance organisations such as the AIC, and believe that reporting against the revised AIC Code allows the Audit Committee to further strengthen its role as a key independent oversight Committee.

Role and Responsibilities

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. This includes reviewing the financial reports and other financial information and any significant financial judgement contained therein, before publication.

In addition, the Audit Committee reviews the systems of internal financial and operating controls on a continuing basis that the Administrator, Portfolio Manager, AIFM, and Custodian Depositary and the Board have established with respect to finance, accounting, risk management, compliance, fraud and audit. The Audit Committee also reviews the accounting and financial reporting processes, along with reviewing the roles, independence and effectiveness of the external auditor. The AIC Code requires the Audit Committee to annually consider the need for an internal audit function.

The ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving the Annual and Interim Financial Statements remains with the Board.

The Audit Committee's full terms of reference can be obtained by contacting the Company's Administrator.

Risk Management and Internal Control

The Board, as a whole, considers the nature and extent of the Companyâ€™s risk management framework and the risk profile that is acceptable in order to achieve the Companyâ€™s strategic objectives. As a result, it is considered that the Board has fulfilled its obligations under the AIC Code.

The Audit Committee continues to be responsible for reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Companyâ€™s on-going risk management systems and processes. Its system of internal controls, along with its design and operating effectiveness, is subject to review by the Audit Committee through reports received from the Portfolio Manager, AIFM and Custodian and Depositary, along with those from the Administrator and external auditor.

Fraud, Bribery and Corruption

The Audit Committee has relied on the overarching requirement placed on the service providers under the relevant agreements to comply with applicable law, including anti-bribery laws. A review of the service provider policies took place at the Management Engagement Committee Meeting, held on 23 September 2015. The Board receives confirmation from all service providers that there has been no fraud, bribery or corruption.

Financial Reporting and Significant Financial Issues

The Audit Committee assesses whether suitable accounting policies have been adopted and whether the Portfolio Manager has made appropriate estimates and judgements. The Audit Committee reviews accounting papers prepared by the Portfolio Manager and Administrator which provide details on the main financial reporting judgements.

The Audit Committee also reviews reports by the external auditors which highlight any issues with respect to the work undertaken on the audit.

The significant issues considered during the period by the Audit Committee in relation to the Financial Statements and how they were addressed are detailed below:

(i) Valuation of investments:

The Companyâ€™s investments had a fair value of Â£333,347,124 as at 31 March 2016 (31 March 2015: Â£339,905,279) and represent a substantial portion of net assets of the Company. As such this is the largest factor in relation to the consideration of the Financial Statements. These investments are valued in accordance with the Accounting Policies set out in note 2 to the Financial Statements. Through regular reporting on the processes for the valuation of investments during the year by the Portfolio Manager, AIFM, Administrator, Custodian and Depositary the Audit Committee satisfied itself that both the sources of price information and valuation process itself are robust and reliable, and considered the valuation of the investments held by the Company as at 31 March 2016 to be reasonable.

(ii) Income Recognition:

The Audit Committee considered the calculation of income from investments recorded in the Financial Statements as at 31 March 2016. As disclosed in note 3(ii)(b) of the Notes to the Financial Statements, the estimated life of Asset Backed Securities is determined by the Portfolio Manager, impacting the effective interest rate of the Asset Backed Securities which in turn impacts the calculation of income from investments. The Audit Committee reviewed the Portfolio Manager's process for determining the expected life of the Company's investments and found it to be reasonable based on the explanations provided and information obtained from the Portfolio Manager. The Audit Committee was therefore satisfied that income was correctly stated in the Financial Statements.

Following a review of the presentations and reports from the Portfolio Manager and Administrator and consulting where necessary with the external auditor, the Audit Committee is satisfied that the Financial Statements appropriately address the critical judgements and key estimates (both in respect to the amounts reported and the disclosures). The Audit Committee is also satisfied that the significant assumptions used for determining the value of assets and liabilities have been appropriately scrutinised, challenged and are sufficiently robust.

The Companyâ€™s reporting currency is Sterling while a significant proportion of the investments owned are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company operates a hedging strategy designed to mitigate the impact of foreign currency rate changes on the performance of the fund. The Audit Committee has used information from the Administrator and Portfolio Manager to satisfy itself concerning the effectiveness of the hedging process, as well as to confirm that realised and unrealised foreign currency gains and losses have been correctly recorded.

At the request of the Audit Committee, the Administrator confirmed that it was not aware of any material misstatements including matters relating to Financial Statement presentation. At the Audit Committee meeting to review the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements, the Audit Committee received and reviewed a report on the audit from the external auditors. On the basis of its review of this report, the Audit Committee is satisfied that the external auditor has fulfilled its responsibilities with diligence and professional scepticism. The Audit Committee advised the Board that these Annual Financial Statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable.

The Audit Committee is satisfied that the judgements made by the Portfolio Manager and Administrator are reasonable, and that appropriate disclosures have been included in the Financial Statements.

Going Concern

The going concern basis can be found in the Directorsâ€™ Report.

External Auditors

The Audit Committee has responsibility for making a recommendation on the appointment, re-appointment and removal of the external auditors. PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP (â€œPwCâ€) were appointed as the first auditors of the Company. During the period the Audit Committee received and reviewed audit plans and reports from the external auditors. It is standard practice for the external auditors to meet privately with the Audit Committee without the Portfolio Manager and other service providers being present at each Audit Committee meeting.

To assess the effectiveness of the external audit process, the auditors were asked to articulate the steps that they have taken to ensure objectivity and independence, including where the auditor provides non-audit services. The Audit Committee monitors the auditorsâ€™ performance, behaviour and effectiveness during the exercise of their duties, which informs the decision to recommend reappointment on an annual basis.

As a general rule, the Company does not utilise external auditors for internal audit purposes, secondments or valuation advice. Services which do not compromise auditor independence, such as tax compliance, tax structuring, private letter rulings, accounting advice, quarterly reviews and disclosure advice are normally permitted but will be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

The following tables summarise the remuneration paid to PwC and to other PwC member firms for audit and non-audit services during the year ended 31 March 2016 and the year ended 31 March 2015.

For any questions on the activities of the Audit Committee not addressed in the foregoing, a member of the Audit Committee will attend each AGM to respond to such questions.

The AIFM is required to ensure that the annual report contains a report that shall include a fair and balanced review of the activities and performance of the Company, containing also a description of the principal risks and investment or economic uncertainties that the Company might face.

AIFM Remuneration

Under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, acting as the AIFM, Maitland Institutional Services Ltd is required to disclose how those whose actions have a material impact on the Company are remunerated.

Due to the nature of the activities conducted by Maitland Institutional Services Limited, it has deemed itself as a lower risk firm in accordance with SYSC 19B and the remuneration code. The only employees at Maitland Institutional Services Limited permitted to have a material impact on the risk profile of the AIF are the Board and the Head of Risk and Compliance.

While a portion of the remuneration paid by the Portfolio Manager is variable and based, in part, on the performance of the investment portfolio the investment discretion of the Portfolio Manager is strictly controlled within certain pre-defined parameters as detailed in the prospectus of the Company.

Under the AIFM Directive, the AIFM is required to stipulate how much it pays to its staff, in relation to fixed and variable remuneration and how much, in relation to the Company, is firstly attributed to all staff and those that are deemed, under the directive, to have an impact on the risk profile of the Company. Maitland Institutional Services Ltd does not pay any form of variable remuneration.

Â· the AIFM has taken all steps that it ought to have taken to make itself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

We hereby certify that this report is made on behalf of the AIFM, Maitland Institutional Services Limited.

Report of the Depositary to the Shareholders

Northern Trust (Guernsey) Limited has been appointed as Depositary to Twenty Four Income Fund Limited (the â€œCompanyâ€) in accordance with the requirements of Article 36 and Articles 21(7), (8) and (9) of the Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 1095/2010 (the â€œAIFM Directiveâ€).

This report including the review provided below has been prepared solely for the Shareholders in the Company. We do not, in giving this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown.

Our obligations as Depositary are stipulated in the relevant provisions of the AIFM Directive and the relevant sections of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 231/2013 (collectively the â€œAIFMD legislationâ€).

Amongst these obligations is the requirement to enquire into the conduct of the AIFM and the Company and their delegates in each annual accounting period. We have therefore enquired into the conduct of Maitland Institutional Services Limited (formerly known as Phoenix Fund Services (UK) Limited) (the â€œAIFMâ€) for the period ending 31 March 2016, in our capacity as Depositary to the Company.

Our report shall state whether, in our view, the Company has been managed in that period in accordance with the AIFMD legislation. It is the overall responsibility of the AIFM to comply with these provisions. If the AIFM or their delegates have not so complied, we as the Depositary, will state why this is the case and outline the steps which we have taken to rectify the situation.

Basis of Depositary Review

The Depositary conducts such reviews as it, in its reasonable discretion, considers necessary in order to comply with its obligations and to ensure that, in all material respects, the Company has been managed (i) in accordance with the limitations imposed on its investment and borrowing powers by the provisions of its constitutional documentation and the appropriate regulations; and (ii) otherwise in accordance with the constitutional documentation and the appropriate regulations. Such reviews vary based on the type of Company, the assets in which a Company invests and the processes used, or experts required, in order to value such assets.

Review

In our view, the Company has been managed during the period, in all material respects:

(i) in accordance with the limitations imposed on the investment and borrowing powers of the Company by the constitutional document; and by the AIFMD legislation; and

(ii) otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the constitutional document and the AIFMD legislation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORSâ€™ REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF TWENTYFOUR INCOME FUND LIMITED

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of TwentyFour Income Fund Limited (â€œthe Companyâ€) which comprise the statement of financial position as of 31 March 2016 and the statement of comprehensive income, the statements of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directorsâ€™ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and with the requirements of Guernsey law. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditorsâ€™ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorsâ€™ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entityâ€™s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entityâ€™s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as of 31 March 2016, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements.

In our opinion the information given in the directorsâ€™ report is consistent with the financial statements.

This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Companyâ€™s members as a body in accordance with Section 262 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters which we are required to review under the Listing Rules:

Â· the directorsâ€™ statement set out in the Directorsâ€™ Report in relation to going concern. As noted in the directorsâ€™ statement, the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The going concern basis presumes that the Company has adequate resources to remain in operation, and that the directors intend it to do so, for at least one year from the date the financial statements were signed. As part of our audit we have concluded that the directorsâ€™ use of the going concern basis is appropriate. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, these statements are not a guarantee as to the Companyâ€™s ability to continue as a going concern;

Â· the directorsâ€™ statement that they have carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Company and the directorsâ€™ statement in relation to the longer-term viability of the Company. Our review was substantially less in scope than an audit and only consisted of making inquiries and considering the directorsâ€™ process supporting their statements; checking that the statements are in alignment with the relevant provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code; and considering whether the statements are consistent with the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing our audit;

Â· the part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the Companyâ€™s compliance with the ten further provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review; and

Â· certain elements of the report to shareholders by the Board on directorsâ€™ remuneration.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 March 2016

1. General Information

TwentyFour Income Fund Limited (the â€œCompanyâ€) was incorporated with limited liability in Guernsey, as a closed-ended investment company on 11 January 2013. The Companyâ€™s Shares were listed with a Premium Listing on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2013.

The Companyâ€™s investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns principally through income distributions.

The Company pursues its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of UK and European Asset Backed Securities.

The Portfolio Manager of the Company is TwentyFour Asset Management LLP (the â€œPortfolio Managerâ€).

2. Principal Accounting Policies

a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (â€œIFRSâ€) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (â€œIASBâ€) and are in compliance with the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

b) Presentation of information

The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention adjusted to take account of the revaluation of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

c) Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective

At the reporting date of these Financial Statements, the following standards, interpretations and amendments, which have not been applied in these Financial Statements, were in issue but not yet effective:

- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Effective 1 January 2018)

- IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Effective 1 January 2018)

- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Effective 1 January 2016)

- IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative (Effective 1 January 2016)

The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these standards effective in a future period will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company, other than IFRS 9. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' does not currently have a mandatory effective date and amends International Accounting Standard (â€œIASâ€) 39. IFRS 9 specifies how an entity should classify and measure financial assets, including some hybrid contracts. The standard requires all financial assets to be classified on the basis of the entityâ€™s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; this classification includes financial assets initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, particular transaction costs; subsequently measured at amortised costs or fair value. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of IAS 39. The standard applies a consistent approach to classifying financial assets and replaces the numerous categories of financial assets in IAS 39, each of which had its own classification criteria.

The standard also results in one impairment method, replacing the numerous impairment methods in IAS 39 that arise from the different classification.

No new accounting standards were effective or adopted during the year having an effect on the financial statements.

d) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Classification

The Company classifies its investments in debt securities and derivatives as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading; and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception.

(i) Financial assets and liabilities held for trading

A financial asset or financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term or if on initial recognition is part of a portfolio of identifiable financial investments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking. Derivatives are categorised as held for trading. The Company does not classify any derivatives as hedges in a hedging relationship.

(ii) Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Companyâ€™s documented investment strategy.

The Companyâ€™s policy requires the Portfolio Manager and the Board of Directors to evaluate the information about these financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis together with other related financial information.

Recognition, derecognition and measurement

Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date â€“ the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the investment. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Investments in Asset Backed Securities are the purchase of an interest in pools of loans. The investment characteristics of Asset Backed Securities are such that principal payments are made more frequently than traditional debt securities. The principal may be repaid at any time because the underlying debt or other assets generally may be repaid at any time.

The Company records these principal repayments as they arise and realises a gain or loss in the net gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur.

The interest income arising on these securities is recognised within income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Fair value estimation

Fair value is 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. Investments in Asset Backed Securities are fair valued in accordance with either i) or ii) below and the change in fair value, if any, is recorded as net gains/(losses) on financial assets/(liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

i) Asset Backed Securities traded or dealt on an active market or exchange.

Asset Backed Securities that are traded or dealt on an active market or exchange are valued by reference to their quoted mid-market price as at the close of trading on the reporting date as management deem the mid-market price to be a reasonable approximation of an exit price.

ii) Asset Backed Securities not traded or dealt on an active market or exchange.

Asset Backed Securities which are not traded or dealt on active markets or exchanges are valued by reference to their price, as at the close of business on the reporting date as determined by an independent price vendor. If a price cannot be obtained from an independent price vendor, or where the Portfolio Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the Asset Backed Security, the Portfolio Manager will source prices at the close of business on the reporting date from third party broker/dealer quotes for the relevant security.

In cases where no third party price is available (either from an independent price vendor or third party broker/dealer quotes), or where the Portfolio Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the Asset Backed Security, the Portfolio Manager will determine the valuation based on the Portfolio Managerâ€™s valuation policy. This may include the use of a comparable armâ€™s length transaction, reference to other securities that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

Forward foreign currency contracts

Forward foreign currency contracts are derivative contracts and as such are recognised at fair value on the date on which they are entered into and subsequently measured at their fair value. Fair value is determined by rates in active currency markets. All forward foreign currency contracts are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Gains and losses on forward currency contracts are recognised as part of net foreign currency gains in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Impairment

Financial assets that are stated at cost or amortised cost are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. If any such indication exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as the difference between the assetâ€™s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assetâ€™s effective interest rate.

e) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

f) Amounts due from and due to brokers

Amounts due from and to brokers represent receivables for securities sold and payables for securities purchased that have been contracted for but not yet settled or delivered on the statement of financial position date respectively. These amounts are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

g) Income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportionate basis using the effective interest method. Discounts received or premiums paid in connection with the acquisition of Asset Backed Securities are amortised into interest income using the effective interest method over the estimated life of the related security.

The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts throughout the expected life of the financial instrument, or, when appropriate (see note 3(ii)(b)), a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates cash flows considering the expected life of the financial instrument but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and all other premiums or discounts.

h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks and other short-term investments in an active market with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown in current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.

i) Share capital

As there are only Ordinary Redeemable Shares in issue, which are redeemable at the discretion of the Board, the shares are presented as equity in accordance with IAS 32 â€“ â€œFinancial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentationâ€. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary redeemable shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds and disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Equity.

j) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using Sterling, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the â€œfunctional currencyâ€). The Financial Statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Companyâ€™s presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the statement of financial position date.

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

k) Transaction costs

Transaction costs on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers. Transaction costs, when incurred, are immediately recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

l) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board. The Directors are of the opinion that the Company is engaged in a single segment of business, being investments in Asset Backed Securities. The Directors manage the business in this way. Additional information can be found in note 18.

m) Expenses

All expenses are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis. Expenses incurred on the acquisition of investments at fair value through profit or loss are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. All other expenses are recognised through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

n) Other receivables

Other receivables are amounts due in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

o) Other payables

Other payables are obligations to pay for services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

p) Amounts due from and due to brokers

q) Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Companyâ€™s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Companyâ€™s financial statements and disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Equity in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Board.

r) Income equalisation on new issues

In order to ensure there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share for current shareholders when issuing new shares, a transfer is made between share capital and income to reflect that amount of income included in the purchase price of the new shares.

s) Change in classification and presentation

There has been a change in classification of comparative figures within note 9, however it does not amount to a restatement, as there is no impact on the amounts recognised and presented in the primary statements.

3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Companyâ€™s Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

(i) Judgements

In the process of applying the Companyâ€™s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Financial Statements:

Functional currency

As disclosed in note 2(j), the Companyâ€™s functional currency is Sterling. Sterling is the currency in which the Company measures its performance and reports its results, as well as the currency in which it receives subscriptions from its investors. Dividends are also paid to its investors in Sterling. The Directors believe that Sterling best represents the functional currency.

(ii) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the Financial Statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising which are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(a) Fair value of securities not quoted in an active markets

The Company carries its investments in Asset Backed Securities at fair value, with changes in value being recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. In cases where prices of Asset Backed Securities are not quoted in an active market, the Portfolio Manager will obtain prices determined at the close of business on the reporting date from an independent price vendor. The Portfolio Manager exercises its judgement on the quality of the independent price vendor and information provided. If a price cannot be obtained from an independent price vendor or where the Portfolio Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the Asset Backed Security, the Portfolio Manager will source prices from third party broker or dealer quotes for the relevant security. Where no third party price is available, or where the Portfolio Manager determines that the third party quote is not an accurate representation of the fair value, the Portfolio Manager will determine the valuation based on the Portfolio Manager's valuation policy. This may include the use of a comparable arm's length transaction, reference to other securities that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

(b) Estimated life of Asset Backed Securities

In determining the estimated life of the Asset Backed Securities held by the Company, the Portfolio Manager estimates the remaining life of the security with respect to expected prepayment rates, default rates and loss rates together with other information available in the market underlying the security. The estimated life of the Asset Backed Securities as determined by the Portfolio Manager, impacts the effective interest rate of the Asset Backed Securities which in turn impacts the calculation of income as discussed in note 2(g).

(c) Determination of observable inputs

In note 17, Fair Value Measurement, when determining the levels of investments within the fair value hierarchy, the determination of what constitutes â€˜observableâ€™ 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.

4. (Loss)/earnings per Ordinary Redeemable Share - Basic & Diluted

The (loss)/earnings per Ordinary Redeemable Share - Basic and Diluted has been calculated based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Redeemable Shares of 286,946,436 (31 March 2015: 274,897,753) and a net loss of Â£19,470,432 (31 March 2015: net gain of Â£26,122,850).

5. Income equalisation on new issues

In order to ensure there were no dilutive effects on earnings per share for current shareholders when issuing new shares, earnings have been calculated in respect of accrued income at the time of purchase and a transfer has been made from share capital to income to reflect this. The transfer for the year ended 31 March 2016 is Â£657,297 (31 March 2015: Â£158,445).

6. Net Asset Value per Ordinary Redeemable Share

The net asset value of each Share of Â£1.04 (31 March 2015: Â£1.20) is determined by dividing the net assets of the Company attributed to the Shares of Â£333,425,804 (31 March 2015: Â£343,225,040) by the number of Shares in issue at 31 March 2016 of 321,420,417 (31 March 2015: 284,908,712).

7. Taxation

The Company has been granted Exempt Status under the terms of The Income Tax (Exempt Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989 to income tax in Guernsey. Its liability for Guernsey taxation is limited to an annual fee of Â£1,200.

The Companyâ€™s financial instruments include investments designated at fair value through profit or loss and cash and cash equivalents. The main risks arising from the Companyâ€™s financial instruments are market price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and currency risk. The techniques and instruments utilised for the purposes of efficient portfolio management are those which are reasonably believed by the Board to be economically appropriate to the efficient management of the Company.

Market risk

Market risk embodies the potential for both losses and gains and includes currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk. The Companyâ€™s strategy on the management of market risk is driven by the Companyâ€™s investment objective. The Companyâ€™s investment objective is to generate attractive risk adjusted returns principally through investment in Asset Backed Securities.

(i) Price risk

The underlying investments comprised in the portfolio are subject to market risk. The Company is therefore at risk that market events may affect performance and in particular may affect the value of the Companyâ€™s investments which are valued on a mark to market basis. Market risk is risk associated with changes in market prices or rates, including interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, national and international political circumstances such as the recent UK vote to leave the EU. The Companyâ€™s policy is to manage price risk by holding a diversified portfolio of assets, through its investments in Asset Backed Securities.

The Companyâ€™s policy also stipulates that no more than 5% of the Portfolio value can be exposed to any single Asset Backed Security or issuer of Asset Backed Securities.

The price of an Asset Backed Security can be affected by a number of factors, including: (i) changes in the marketâ€™s perception of the underlying assets backing the security; (ii) economic and political factors such as the recent UK vote to leave the EU as well as interest rates and levels of unemployment and taxation which can have an impact on the arrears, foreclosures and losses incurred with respect to the pool of assets backing the security; (iii) changes in the marketâ€™s perception of the adequacy of credit support built into the securityâ€™s structure to protect against losses caused by arrears and foreclosures; (iv) changes in the perceived creditworthiness of the originator of the security or any other third parties to the transaction; (v) the speed at which mortgages or loans within the pool are repaid by the underlying borrowers (whether voluntary or due to arrears or foreclosures).

(ii) Reinvestment risk

Reinvestment risk is the risk that future coupons from a bond will not be reinvested at the prevailing interest rate when the bond was initially purchased.

A key determinant of a bondâ€™s yield is the price at which it is purchased and, therefore, when the market price of bonds generally increases, the yield of bonds purchased generally decreases. As such, the overall yield of the portfolio, and therefore the level of dividends payable to Shareholders, would fall to the extent that the market prices of Asset Backed Securities generally rise and the proceeds of Asset Backed Securities held by the Company that mature or are sold are not able to be reinvested in Asset Backed Securities with a yield comparable to that of the portfolio as a whole.

Price sensitivity analysis

The following details the Companyâ€™s sensitivity to movement in market prices. The analysis is based on a 5% increase or decrease in market prices. This represents managementâ€™s best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in market prices, having regard to historical volatility.

At 31 March 2016, if the market prices had been 5% higher with all other variables held constant, the increase in the net assets attributable to equity Shareholders would have been Â£16,667,356 (31 March 2015: Â£16,995,264). An equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased the net assets attributable to equity Shareholders by the same amount.

Actual trading results may differ from the above sensitivity analysis and those differences may be material.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The tables below summarise the Companyâ€™s exposure to interest rate risk:

	Floating rate	Fixed rate	Non-interest bearing	Total
As at 31 March 2016	Â£	Â£	Â£	Â£

The Company only holds floating rate financial instruments and when short-term interest rates increase, the interest rate on a floating rate will increase. The time to re-fix interest rates ranges from 1 month to a maximum of 6 months and therefore the Company has minimal interest rate risk. However the Company may choose to utilise appropriate strategies to achieve the desired level of interest rate exposure (the Company is permitted to use, for example, interest rate swaps to accomplish this). The value of asset backed securities may be affected by interest rate movements. Interest receivable on bank deposits or payable on bank overdraft positions will be affected by fluctuations in interest rates, however the underlying cash positions will not be affected.

The Companyâ€™s continuing position in relation to interest rate risk is monitored on a weekly basis by the Portfolio Manager as part of its review of the weekly Net Asset Value calculations prepared by the Companyâ€™s Administrator.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis.

The main concentration of credit risk to which the Company is exposed arises from the Companyâ€™s investments in Asset Backed Securities. The Company is also exposed to counterparty credit risk on forwards, cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from brokers and other receivable balances.

The Companyâ€™s policy to manage this risk is by no more than 20% of the portfolio value being backed by collateral in any single country (save that this restriction will not apply to Northern European countries). The Company also manages this credit risk by no more than 5% of the portfolio being exposed to any single Asset Backed Security or issuer of Asset Back Securities and no more than 10% of the portfolio value being exposed to instruments not deemed securities for the purposes of the Financial Services and Market Act 2000.

To further minimise credit risk, the Portfolio Manager undertakes extensive due diligence procedures on investments in Asset Backed Securities and monitors the on-going investment in these securities. The Company may also use credit default swaps to mitigate the effects of market volatility on credit risk.

The Company manages its counterparty exposure in respect of cash and cash equivalents and forwards by investing with counterparties with a â€œsingle Aâ€ or higher credit rating. All cash is currently placed with The Northern Trust Company. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent that this institution may be unable to return this cash. The Northern Trust Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Northern Trust Corporation. The Northern Trust Corporation is publicly traded and a constituent of the S&P 500. The Northern Trust Corporation has a credit rating of A+ from Standard & Poor's and A2 from Moody's.

The Companyâ€™s maximum credit exposure is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised as at the statement of financial position date, as summarised below:

										As at
										31.03.2016
										Â£
Investments										333,347,124

Investments in Asset Backed Securities that are not backed by mortgages present certain risks that are not presented by Mortgage-Backed Securities (â€œMBSâ€). Primarily, these securities may not have the benefit of the same security interest in the related collateral. Therefore, there is a possibility that recoveries on defaulted collateral may not, in some cases, be available to support payments on these securities. The risk of investing in these types of Asset Backed Securities is ultimately dependent upon payment of the underlying debt by the debtor.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligations in full as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous.

Investments made by the Company in Asset Backed Securities may be relatively illiquid and this may limit the ability of the Company to realise its investments. Investments in Asset Backed Securities may also have no active market and the Company also has no redemption rights in respect of these investments. The Company has the ability to borrow to ensure sufficient cash flows.

The Portfolio Manager considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all contractually due within twelve months.

Shareholders have no right to have their shares redeemed or repurchased by the Company, however Shareholders may elect to realise their holdings as detailed under note 12 c) and the Capital Risk Management section of this note.

Shareholders wishing to release their investment in the Company are therefore required to dispose of their shares on the market. Therefore there is no risk that the Company will not be able to fund redemption requests.

The tables below analyse the Companyâ€™s liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the maturities at the statement of financial position date. The amounts in the table are the undiscounted net cash flows on the financial liabilities:

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company invests predominantly in non-Sterling assets while its Shares are denominated in Sterling, its expenses are incurred in Sterling and its presentational currency is Sterling. Therefore the Statement of Financial Position may be significantly affected by movements in the exchange rate between Euro and Sterling. The Company manages the exposure to currency movements by using spot and forward foreign exchange contracts, rolling forward on a periodic basis.

At the year end, the Company had twenty six (31 March 2015: ten) open forward currency contracts.

The tables below summarise the sensitivity of the Companyâ€™s assets and liabilities to changes in foreign exchange movements between Euro and Sterling at 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015. The analysis is based on the assumption that the relevant foreign exchange rate increased/decreased by the percentage disclosed in the table, with all other variables held constant. This represents managementâ€™s best estimate of a reasonable possible shift in the foreign exchange rates, having regard to historical volatility of those rates.

Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it is able to continue as a going concern while following the Companyâ€™s stated investment policy. The capital structure of the Company consists of Shareholdersâ€™ equity, which comprises share capital and other reserves. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to Shareholders or issue new Shares. There are no regulatory requirements to return capital to Shareholders.

(i) Share buybacks

The Company has been granted the authority to make market purchases of up to a maximum of 14.99% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Redeemable Shares in issue immediately following Admission at a price not exceeding the higher of (i) 5% above the average of the mid-market values of the Ordinary Redeemable Shares for the 5 business days before the purchase is made or, (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current investment bid for the Ordinary Redeemable Shares.

In deciding whether to make any such purchases the Directors will have regard to what they believe to be in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole, to the applicable legal requirements and any other requirements in its Articles. The making and timing of any buybacks will be at the absolute discretion of the Board and not at the option of the Shareholders, and is expressly subject to the Company having sufficient surplus cash resources available (excluding borrowed moneys). The Listing Rules prohibit the Company from conducting any share buybacks during close periods immediately preceding the publication of annual and interim results.

(ii) Realisation opportunity

The Companyâ€™s structure included an opportunity for investors to elect to realise all or part of their shareholding in the Company after an initial three year period ending 6 March 2016 subject to the aggregate NAV of the continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares on the last business day before the Reorganisation Date being not less than Â£50 million. Thereafter, the realisation opportunity shall be at the annual general meeting of the Company in each third year subject to the aggregate NAV of the continuing Ordinary Redeemable Shares on the last Business Day before Reorganisation being not less than Â£100 million.

It is anticipated that realisations will be satisfied by the assets underlying the relevant shares being managed on a realisation basis, which is intended to generate cash for distribution as soon as practicable and may ultimately generate cash which is less than the published NAV per Realisation Share.

In the event that the Realisation takes place, it is anticipated that the ability of the Company to make returns of cash to the holders of Realisation Shares will depend in part on the ability of the Portfolio Manager to realise the portfolio.

(iii) Continuation votes

In the event that the Company does not meet the dividend target in any financial reporting period as disclosed in note 19, the Directors may convene a general meeting of the Company where the Directors will propose a resolution that the Company should continue as an Investment Company.

17. Fair Value Measurement

All assets and liabilities are carried at fair value or at carrying value which equates to fair value.

IFRS 13 requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

(i) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

(ii) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices including interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs (level 2).

(iii) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following tables analyse within the fair value hierarchy the Companyâ€™s financial assets and liabilities (by class) measured at fair value for the years ended 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015.

Asset Backed Securities which have a value based on quoted market prices in active markets, are classified in level 1. At the period end, no Asset Backed Securities held by the Company, are classified as level 1.

Asset Backed Securities which are not traded or dealt on organised markets or exchanges are classified in level 2 or level 3. Where the Portfolio Manager determines that the price obtained from an independent price vendor is not an accurate representation of the fair value of the Asset Backed Security, the Portfolio Manager may source prices from third party broker or dealer quotes and if the price represents a reliable and an observable price, the Asset Backed Security is classified in level 2. All Asset Backed Securities classified as level 2 at 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015 were priced from third party broker or dealer quotes.

Asset Backed Securities where no third party verifiable price is available (either from price vendor or third party broker/dealer quotes), or where the Portfolio Manager determines that the provided price is not an accurate representation of the fair value, are valued by the Portfolio Manager. The Portfolio Manager will determine the valuation of these Asset Backed Securities based on the Portfolio Manager's valuation policy, which may include the use of a comparable armâ€™s length transaction, reference to other securities that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques. Where the Portfolio Manager sources prices from a price vendor, the Asset Backed Security is classified in level 3. All Asset Backed Securities classified as level 3 at 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015 were priced from third party price vendors.

The Company determines a transfer between level 2 and level 3 with reference to the source of pricing, and where an Asset Backed Security is priced based on a third party broker or dealer quote at year end, but was priced by a third party price vendor at the previous reporting period, a transfer from level 3 to level 2 is deemed to have occurred. Similarly, where an Asset Backed Security is priced using a third party price vendor at year end, but was priced based on a third party broker or dealer quote at the previous reporting period, a transfer from level 2 to level 3 is deemed to have occurred.

Due to the inputs into the valuation of Asset Backed Securities classified as level 3 not being available or visible to the Company, no sensitivity on inputs can be performed.

The following tables present the movement in level 3 instruments for the years ended 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015 by class of financial instrument.

18. Segmental Reporting

The Board is responsible for reviewing the Companyâ€™s entire portfolio and considers the business to have a single operating segment. The Boardâ€™s asset allocation decisions are based on a single, integrated investment strategy, and the Companyâ€™s performance is evaluated on an overall basis.

The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of Asset Backed Securities. The fair value of the major financial instruments held by the Company and the equivalent percentages of the total value of the Company, are reported in the Top Twenty Holdings.

Revenue earned is reported separately on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income as investment income being interest income received from Asset Backed Securities.

19. Dividend Policy

The Board intends to distribute an amount at least equal to the value of the Companyâ€™s net income arising each quarter to the holders of Ordinary Redeemable Shares. For these purposes, the Companyâ€™s income will include the interest payable by the Asset Backed Securities in the Portfolio and the amortisation of any discount or premium to par at which an Asset Backed Security is purchased over its remaining expected life, prior to its maturity, however there is no guarantee that the dividend target for future financial years will be met or that the Company will make any distributions at all.

Distributions made with respect to any income period comprise (a) the accrued income of the portfolio for the period, and (b) an additional amount to reflect any income purchased in the course of any share subscriptions that took place during the period. Including purchased income in this way ensures that the income yield of the shares is not diluted as a consequence of the issue of new shares during an income period and (c) any income on the foreign exchange contracts created by the libor differentials between each foreign currency pair.

The Board expects that dividends will constitute the principal element of the return to the holders of Ordinary Redeemable Shares.

The Company declared the following dividends in respect of the distributable profit for the year ended 31 March 2016:

Period to	Dividend rate per Share (pence)	Net dividend payable (Â£)	Record date	Ex-dividend date	Pay date
30 June 2015	0.015	4,273,631	17 July 2015	16 July 2015	31 July 2015
30 September 2015	0.015	4,273,631	16 October 2015	15 October 2015	30 October 2015
31 December 2015	0.015	4,273,631	22 January 2016	21 January 2016	29 January 2016
31 March 2016	0.0264	7,521,590	4 March 2016	3 March 2016	29 April 2016

Under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, the Company can distribute dividends from capital and revenue reserves, subject to the net asset and solvency test. The net asset and solvency test considers whether a company is able to pay its debts when they fall due, and whether the value of a companyâ€™s assets is greater than its liabilities. The Board confirms that the Company passed the net asset and solvency test for each dividend paid.

20. Ultimate Controlling Party

In the opinion of the Directors on the basis of shareholdings advised to them, the Company has no ultimate controlling party.
