Interim Results
T2 Income Fund Limited

T2 Income Fund Limited
Interim statement for the six month period ended 30 June 2006
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Attached please find the Accounts of T2 Income Fund Limited (the 'Fund') for the
six-month period ending 30 June 2006. As you are aware, the Fund was launched in
August 2005 when it raised net proceeds of £36.7 million of equity. As of 30
June 2006, the Fund had invested approximately £14.5 million of the net
proceeds, and I am pleased to report that as of 20 September 2006, the Fund has
total investments of approximately £33.2 million which means that the Fund is
almost fully invested. As of 30 June 2006, the investments in the portfolio, on
a weighted average basis, bear an interest rate of 11.3%, which represents an
average spread of more than 600 basis points over the relevant LIBOR base. The
weighted average maturity of the investment portfolio as of 30 June 2006 was 54
months.
Although the Fund's raised capital was deployed more slowly than originally
expected, T2 Advisers, LLC (the Fund's investment manager, the 'Advisor') has
seen an acceleration in the investment opportunities available to it, and
believes that the current environment for providing investment capital to
smaller and medium-sized companies affords it a positive outlook going forward.
Over the past several months the volume and pace of investment activity has
improved. Primarily in recognition of the initial slowness in deploying the
Fund's capital, the Advisor has decided to voluntarily rebate £500,000 to the
Fund, which will increase the Fund's equity capital base going forward.
The Fund's mandate is to invest primarily in smaller and medium-sized companies
across a range of geographies, and adverse movements in the foreign currency
markets, in particular the strengthening of sterling, have generated some
unrealised currency losses. The plan from inception has been to hedge much of
the risk associated with non-sterling denominated investments as the Fund became
fully invested. Accordingly, on 1 September 2006, with the Fund nearing its
investment target, we instituted a hedging program in conjunction with
Butterfield Bank.
The Advisor has entered into discussions with several commercial banks to
provide the Fund with debt capital to leverage its investments and its returns.
We have a clear incentive to borrow capital at the most favorable terms possible
in order to capture the greatest differential between the cost of our capital
and the return we generate on our investments.
In July 2006, the Fund paid a dividend of 1p per share for the period ending 30
June 2006, and the Directors of the Fund have recently increased the dividend to
1.5p per share for the third quarter ending 30 September 2006, which will be
paid in October.
We continue to see compelling opportunities to invest capital in sound
companies. We believe that there are relatively few dedicated investors who are
actively seeking the sort of investments we focus on. Moreover, we see an
inverse relationship between the state of the equity capital (IPO) markets and
the quality of the opportunities available to us - profitable companies are
choosing to remain private longer and are looking to alternative sources in
order to finance their growth and to optimize their capital structures.
The Directors are pleased with the recent progress that the Advisor has made on
behalf of the Fund and share the Advisor's enthusiasm with regard to the Fund's
prospects. With the Fund now almost fully invested and generating a strong yield
on its portfolio, we are looking forward to achieving greater operating scale
and a more efficiently levered capital structure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
T2 Income Fund Limited ('the Company') was incorporated and domiciled in
Guernsey, Channel Islands, as a company limited by shares on 9 June 2005. The
address of the registered office is P.O. Box 211, Regency Court, Glategny
Esplanade, St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands, GY1 3NQ.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
This statement has been prepared using accounting policies and presentation
consistent with those applied in the preparation of the accounts of the Company
for the year ended 31 December 2005.
Copies of this interim report are being sent to all registered shareholders.
Additional copies are available from Butterfield Fund Services (Guernsey) Ltd,
PO Box 211, Regency Court, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 3NQ.
These accounts do not constitute statutory accounts as defined by Section 59 of
The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 1994 or Section 240 of the UK Companies Act 1985.
The balance sheet at 31 December 2005 and the income statement, statement of
changes in equity and the cash flow statement for the period then ended have
been extracted from the Company's 2005 statutory financial statements upon which
the auditors opinion was unmodified.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention
as modified by the revaluation of investments at fair value through the Income
Statement.
(b) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The Financial Statements of the Company are presented in the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional
currency). The Directors have considered the primary economic currency of the
Company and considered the currency in which the original finance was raised,
distributions made, and ultimately what currency would be returned on a break up
basis. The Directors have also considered the currency to which the underlying
investments are exposed. On balance, the Directors believe Sterling best
represents the functional currency. Therefore the books and records are
maintained in Sterling and for the purpose of the financial statements the
results and financial position of the Company are presented in Sterling, which
is also the presentation currency of the Company.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using
the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange
gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
Translation differences on non-monetary items are reported as part of the fair
value gain or loss reported in the Income Statement.
(c) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised as follows:
Interest income - recognised on an accruals basis as this relates to bank
interest income and coupon interest income.
Other income - relates to closing fees and is recognised on an accruals basis.
(d) Expenditure
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. The management fees,
administration fees, finance costs and all other expenses (excluding set up
expenses which were offset against share premium) are charged through the income
statement.
(e) Taxation
The Company is exempt from Guernsey taxation under the Income Tax (Exempt
Bodies) (Guernsey) Ordinance, 1989. A fixed annual fee of £600 is payable to the
States of Guernsey in respect of this exemption.
(f) Share issue expenses
Share issue expenses of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction
from equity (net of any income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental
costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have
been avoided.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with
banks, other short term highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts.
(h) Trade and other receivables
Receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that
are directly attributable to their acquisition or origination. They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(i) Trade and other payables
Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at
amortised cost.
(j) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date - the date on
which the Company acquires or disposes of the economic benefits of the asset.
Investments are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs for
all financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value through
profit or loss are expensed as incurred. Investments 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.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on
quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used
for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. The fair
value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is
determined by using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques used include the
use of comparable recent arm's length transactions.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss are included in the income statement in the
period in which they arise.
(k) Critical accounting estimates and judgements in applying accounting
policies
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates are
continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances.
Unlisted Debt Securities
The Company can invest in financial instruments which are not quoted in active
markets. Fair values are determined by using valuation techniques. Where
valuation techniques, such as the Market Capitalization Approach, are used to
determine fair values they are carried out by an independent valuation firm
specifically engaged by the Company to carry out the valuations. Changes in
assumptions could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(1) Financial risk factors
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and
currency risk arising from the financial instruments it holds. The risk
management policies employed by the Company to manage these risks are discussed
below. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to
establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these
limits. The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to
ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures to minimise
operational and legal risks.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company will have
exposure to interest rate risk if the Board determines that the Company should
borrow to fund future investments. The exposure arises on the difference between
the rate of interest the Company is required to pay on borrowed funds and the
rate of interest which it receives on the debt securities in which it invests.
The Company is exposed to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in
the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and
cash flows.
The Company may, but is not required to, hedge against interest rate
fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and
forward contracts.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their
obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets
on hand at the balance sheet date. The Company invests primarily in senior
debt, senior subordinated debt and junior subordinated debt. The maximum
investment size, at the time of the investment, will generally be limited to 15%
of the Company's Gross Assets. However, the Company may make larger investments
and it may seek to syndicate or sell down a portion of any such investment,
after it has been acquired.
The Company has established a credit rating system. The purpose of the rating
system is to monitor the credit quality of T2's investment portfolio on both an
individual and portfolio basis and the future on-going monitoring required.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and
liabilities does not match. As the Company's investments will not generally be
in publicly traded securities, they are likely to be subject to legal and other
restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded
securities. The illiquidity of the Company's investments may make it difficult
for them to be sold quickly if the need arises. Since the Company intends to
invest in debt securities with a term of up to seven years, and hold investments
in debt securities and related equity securities until maturity of the debt, the
Company does not expect realisation events to occur in the near term.
(d) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate
due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company may make investments in
currencies other than Sterling. To the extent that it does, the Company will be
exposed to a potentially adverse currency risk. Changes in the rate of exchange
may affect the value of the Company's investments, and the level of income that
it receives from those investments. The Company has not entered into any
currency hedging transactions as at 30 June 2006.

9. SHARE CAPITAL
The Company has the power to issue an unlimited number of ordinary shares of no
par value.
On incorporation two Ordinary Shares were issued at 100p each to the subscribers
to the Memorandum of Association of the Company. On Admission to the AIM on 5
August 2005 the Company repurchased these Ordinary Shares.
On Admission to the AIM on 5 August 2005 the Company allotted 38,000,000 fully
paid Ordinary Shares.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from
the proceeds, net of tax.
The Investment manager, T2 Advisers LLC, has been granted options to purchase
4,222,222 Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price, as reduced by dividends paid per
share, subject to the Company achieving certain performance criteria as follows:
The Investment manager options will vest and become exercisable in respect of 50
per cent immediately on conclusion of the first three month period during which
the Company pays dividends on the Shares in an aggregate amount during that
three month period equal to or exceeding 8 per cent of the Initial Offer Price
on an annualised basis (the hurdle rate). The remaining 50 per cent will vest
and become exercisable immediately on conclusion of the twelve month period
following the date specified above.
In accordance with IFRS2, the value of the options was based upon an estimate of
the fair value of the services received. The Company believes that the fair
value can be determined by a comparison to a performance-based incentive fee
program, which arrangements are common practice in the industry, because the
option program was similarly intended to compensate the Investment manager for
achieving superior returns. The fair value estimate was based, in good faith,
upon the present value of a hypothetical performance-based incentive fee,
assuming a fee of 20% of the excess return above an 8% hurdle rate over a
ten-year period; the fair value of the options was determined to be £100,000.
For the period ending 30 June 2006 the Company charged £5,000 to expense
representing the amortisation of the fair value of the options.
The calculation of fair value is sensitive to a number of assumptions, including
the average interest rate on investments, the pace of investment activity, the
amount and cost of leverage, if any, and expenses. It should be noted that the
actual value of the options may ultimately be substantially greater or less than
the fair value calculated. If actual financial performance is significantly
better than the assumptions used in the calculation of fair value, the options
could be worth several million pounds; to the extent that the performance
criteria is not achieved, the options would expire worthless.

4,222,222 Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price, subject to the Company achieving
certain performance criteria. As at 30 June 2006 the criteria had not been met,
refer note 9.
Directors shareholdings in Company
Saul Rosenthal holds 1,055,556 ordinary shares in the Company as at 30 June 2006

the Share Capital as at that date when diluted by the number of Ordinary Shares
subject to the option.
12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
