INTERIM BOARD REPORT - CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Performance
The Company's net asset value ("NAV") total return for the six month ended 30 April 2017 was 16.0% which compares to a return of 16.1% from the benchmark index, the FTSE SmallCap Index (excluding investment companies).
The Company has benefited from an exceptionally strong period of performance for smaller companies. The latter part of 2016 was in part characterised by investors preferring overseas earning streams, because this allowed them to benefit from the weakness of Sterling. This caused larger companies to outperform their smaller peers. However, 2017 has seen oil and other commodity prices weaken in anticipation of less favourable supply and demand dynamics. Small and mid-sized companies have less exposure to these areas of the market and have consequently been a beneficiary. Simultaneously, there has been a convergence of rising investor risk appetite, alongside a recognition that smaller companies have been trading at a valuation discount relative to their larger counterparts.
One of the more noteworthy contributors to the performance of the portfolio was Burford Capital. This relatively recent introduction has enjoyed very positive trading and the share price has responded accordingly. In addition, XP Power, which has been a holding for many years, performed well as the management's strategy of seeking to capture more of the margin available in the supply chain delivered another period of very positive returns for shareholders. At the sectoral level, the portfolio has benefited from not holding any mining companies. As commodity prices have weakened, the share prices of such businesses have experienced material declines. An additional factor that has aided returns has been the decision not to invest in highly rated technology companies. Whilst this can, on occasion, mean missing out on significant gains, it also avoids the equally significant losses that frequently accompany the often volatile trading of such companies. Such discipline served investors well during the period.
Earnings and Dividends
The Company's revenue earnings per share for the period were 2.38p, down from 2.97p in the equivalent period last year. There are several factors underlying this move. The two that are most significant, however, are the decisions taken by Fenner to materially reduce the dividend it pays and Interserve to pass the dividend altogether.
As stated in previous Reports, whilst the Company's objective is to achieve long term growth, the Board recognises the importance of income to shareholders and, in order to grow or maintain the dividend in future years, the Board intends, if necessary, to use the Company's substantial revenue and capital reserves to support any portion of the dividend not covered by the year's earnings.
The Board has declared an unchanged interim dividend of 2.15p per share which will be paid on 28 July 2017 to shareholders on the register on 7 July 2017. Subject to unforeseen circumstances, in respect of the current financial year it is the intention of the Board to at least maintain last year's total dividend of 6.15p per share.
Discount
The discount at the end of the period was 20.9%, which compared to 17.8% at the beginning of the period. The Directors monitor the Company's discount on an ongoing basis relative to its peer group and the wider investment trust sector and, subject to market conditions, may use the Company's share buyback authority if considered appropriate. Since the end of the period, the discount has narrowed to 18.6%.
Gearing
The Company remained ungeared during the period. It has a term loan of GBP5 million which, during the period, was more than offset by cash balances held. It also has a GBP5 million revolving credit facility which was not utilised during the period. Both facilities mature in November 2017 and the Board will decide whether to replace these with a new facility at that time.
Aberdeen Asset Management
The Board notes the announcement of a proposed recommended merger between the parent company of the Company's Manager, Aberdeen Asset Management PLC, and Standard Life PLC. The transaction is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, but both companies have committed to set up a dedicated integration team which should ensure that the existing management team remains focused on looking after the interests of the Company. The Board will monitor developments closely to ensure that this remains the case and that excellent client service is maintained to the Company and you, its shareholders.
Outlook
Brexit is at the forefront of many investors' minds. A great deal of uncertainty remains as to what form our future relationship with the European Union will take, and this is only exacerbated by the outcome of the recent General Election. It is worth remembering that the Company's portfolio is comprised of good quality businesses with solid balance sheets and, very often, geographically diverse revenue streams. These holdings are generally trading well and performing in line with expectations. Arguably more important than the short term performance is the flexibility that the characteristics noted above confer on these companies. Although management teams have to deal with the same uncertainties that we all face, they have options available to allow them to respond as the picture becomes clearer.
There are of course other unknown factors as well. It is currently unclear how President Trump's policies will impact on US and ultimately global growth. In Europe, the French Presidential elections have passed without issue but the potential for populism to disrupt the region's recovery remains. With equity valuations pricing in a favourable but not unrealistic expectation for profits growth, your Company's Manager continues to focus on the factors that can be controlled, namely investing in good quality franchises that can prosper in most conditions.

INTERIM BOARD REPORT - OTHER
Directors' Responsibility Statement
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Half-Yearly Financial Report in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
- the condensed set of financial statements within the Half-Yearly Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 104 'Interim Financial Reporting';
- the Interim Board Report (constituting the interim management report) includes a fair review of the information required by rule 4.2.7R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (being an indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year) and 4.2.8R (being related party transactions that have taken place during the first six months of the financial year and that have materially affected the financial position of the Company during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report that could so do).
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Board regularly reviews the principal risks and uncertainties which it has identified, together with the mitigation actions it has established to manage the risks. These are set out within the Strategic Report contained within the Annual Report for the year ended 31 October 2016 and comprise the following risk headings:
- Investment strategy and objectives - Investment management - Income/dividends - Financial obligations - Gearing - Regulatory - Operational
The Company's principal risks and uncertainties have not changed materially since the date of the Annual Report and are not expected to change materially for the remaining six months of the Company's financial year.
Going Concern
The Company's assets consist substantially of equity shares in companies listed on the London Stock Exchange which are, in most circumstances, realisable within a short timescale. The Board has set limits for borrowing and regularly reviews actual exposures, cash flow projections and compliance with banking covenants. Borrowings of GBP10 million are committed to the Company until 24 November 2017 and the Board believes that the Company will be able to refinance or repay the borrowings at that time. As such, the Directors believe that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and at least 12 months from the date of this Report. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO DUNEDIN SMALLER COMPANIES INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
Conclusion
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the Half-Yearly Financial Report for the six months ended 30 April 2017 which comprises the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Statement of Financial Position, Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity and Condensed Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory notes.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the Half-Yearly Financial Report for the six months ended 30 April 2017 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with FRS 104 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (the "DTR") of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (the "UK FCA").
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. We read the other information contained in the Half-Yearly Financial Report and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Directors' Responsibilities
The Half-Yearly Financial Report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the Half-Yearly Financial Report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. The Directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the Half-Yearly Financial Report in accordance with FRS 104 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the Half-Yearly Financial Report based on our review.
The Purpose of Our Review Work and to Whom We Owe Our Responsibilities
This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

10. Fair value hierarchy
FRS 102 requires an entity 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 classifications:
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in an active
market for identical assets or liabilities
that the entity can access at the measurement
date.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are observable (ie developed
using market data) for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: inputs are unobservable (ie for which
market data unavailable) for the asset or
liability.
All of the Company's investments are in quoted
equities (31 October 2016 - same) actively
traded on recognised stock exchanges, with
their fair value being determined by reference
to their quoted bid prices at the reporting
date. The total value of the investments as
at 30 April 2017 of GBP132,852,000 (31 October
2016 - GBP114,441,000) have therefore been
deemed as Level 1.
Financial liabilities in the form of short-term
borrowings are held at amortised cost. The
fair value is considered to approximate the
carrying value and is categorised as Level
2.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities
between levels of the fair value hierarchy
during the six months ended 30 April 2017
(year ended 31 October 2016 - same).
11. Transactions with the Manager
The Company has agreements with Aberdeen Fund
Managers Limited ("AFML" or the "Manager")
for the provision of investment management,
secretarial, accounting and administration
and promotional services.
The management fee is calculated at 0.4% per
annum of the gross assets of the Company after
deducting current liabilities and excluding
commonly managed funds ('adjusted gross assets').
The management fee is chargeable 25% to revenue
and 75% to capital. During the period GBP265,000
(30 April 2016 - GBP223,000) of investment
management fees were earned by the Manager,
with a balance of GBP138,000 (30 April 2016
- GBP115,000) being payable to AFML at the
period end. There were no commonly managed
fund held in the portfolio during the six
months to 30 April 2017 (2016 - none).
In addition, the Manager is entitled to an
annual performance-related fee calculated
at a rate of 0.1% per annum (up to a maximum
of 0.5% per annum) of the adjusted gross assets,
as at 31 October each year, for every 1% by
which the Company's net asset value performance
outperforms the capital performance of the
FTSE SmallCap Index (ex Investment Companies)
over the previous twelve month period. During
the period GBPnil (30 April 2016 - GBP27,000)
was earned by the Manager, with a balance
of GBPnil (30 April 2016 - GBPnil) being payable
to AFML at the period end.
The management agreement may be terminated
by either party on the expiry of three months
written notice. In the event of termination
by the Company on less than the agreed notice
period, compensation is payable to the Manager
in lieu of the unexpired notice period.
The fee for promotional activities is based
on a current annual amount of GBP49,000 inclusive
of VAT, payable quarterly in arrears. During
the period GBP24,000 (30 April 2016 - GBP28,000)
of fees were earned, with a balance of GBP16,000
(30 April 2016 - GBP5,000) being payable to
AFML at the period end.
The fee for secretarial services is based
on a current annual amount of GBP103,000 inclusive
of VAT, payable quarterly in arrears. During
the period GBP52,000 (30 April 2016 - GBP51,000)
of fees were earned, with a balance of GBP26,000
(30 April 2016 - GBP25,000) being payable
to AFML at the period end.
12. Related party disclosures
There were no related party transactions during
