TIDMOTT Oxford Technology 3 Venture Capital Trust Plc Unaudited Half-Yearly Report For the period 1 March 2016 to 31 August 2016 Financial Headlines 6 Months Ended Year Ended 31 August 2016 29 February 2016 Net Assets at Period End GBP5.92m GBP6.89m Net Asset Value per Share 87.3p 101.6p Cumulative Dividend per Share 32.0p 17.0p Total NAV Return per Share 119.3p 118.6p Share Price 57.5p 62.5p Earnings per Share 0.7p 13.0p Company Number: 4351474 Registered Address: The Magdalen Centre, Oxford Science Park, Oxford OX4 4GA Statement on behalf of the Board I am pleased to present the unaudited results for the six month period ended 31 August 2016. Results and dividends The Company's net asset value per share has reduced from 101.6p at 29 February 2016 by 14.3p to 87.3p at 31 August 2016. The underlying NAV per share rose by 0.7p but was offset by the payment of a 15.0p interim dividend per share on 13 May 2016. Further dividends are likely to require a profitable investee company exit. Portfolio review The new VCT rules have not prevented us from investing GBP709k to support our existing portfolio companies. We exercised our warrants in Ixaris for GBP425k along with the major shareholder in advance of their expiry date at an attractive discount, thereby not only preventing dilution but also slightly increasing our equity percentage. The valuation of our share of Ixaris has been increased by GBP529k. We invested GBP200k in Plasma Antennas to position them for a further funding round. GBP50k was invested in ImmBio at attractive terms at the end of their successful trials. Finally we invested GBP34k in Scancell's placing and open AIM offer, the maximum we could make under VCT rules. The Directors have reviewed the valuations of each investee company in the unquoted portfolio but have made only minor changes. In the AIM portfolio the Scancell price remained flat and the Abzena price declined from 49p to 41p per share. Based on the revised NAV at 31 August 2016, the performance fee accrual at 29 February 2016 of GBP23k has been reversed as the revised escalating performance fee threshold has now just increased above the current NAV. Shareholders should remain aware that the portfolio is very concentrated with just three holdings representing about 65% of NAV. The value of the portfolio is thus very sensitive to changes in valuations of these three holdings: Ixaris, Glide and Scancell. The directors continue to take an active interest in the investee companies and look forward to continuing to work with OTM to maximise shareholder value and to secure profitable exits from these investee companies at the appropriate time and to enable further dividends to be paid. Liquidity At period end we had net current assets of GBP1.03m. Post period end we have committed to invest in Arecor, Orthogem and Glide. VCT qualifying status The Board has procedures in place to ensure that the Company continues to comply with the conditions laid down by HMRC for maintaining approval as a VCT. Presentation of half-yearly report In order to reduce the length of this report, we have omitted details of the Company's objectives and investment strategy, its Advisers and Registrars and how to buy and sell shares in the Company. These details are all included in the Annual Reports, which, together with previous half-yearly reports, are available for viewing on the Oxford Technology website. Outlook The last six months has seen a number of changes to qualification conditions for VCTs. However, as we are not looking to invest in new companies we do not believe that these changes will give rise to any issues for our Company. Likewise any uncertainties surrounding the departure from the EU are unlikely to affect us directly. We were pleased to welcome a large number of shareholders to our AGM in July. Three of our investee companies made presentations: Scancell, Ixaris and Plasma Antennas. These presentations are on the Oxford Technology website. The directors' view remains that the portfolio still holds significant potential over the medium term but is not without risk. Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank shareholders for their continued support.

Basis of preparation The unaudited half-yearly results which cover the six months to 31 August 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) Financial Reporting Standard 104 Interim Financial Reporting ('FRS 104') and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Investment Companies re-issued by the Association of Investment Companies in November 2014. Details of the accounting policies and valuation methodologies are included in the Annual Report. 2. Publication of non-statutory accounts The unaudited half-yearly results for the six months ended 31 August 2016 do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 415 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative figures for the year ended 29 February 2016 have been extracted from the audited financial statements for that year, which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The independent auditor's report on those financial statements, in accordance with chapter 3, part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, was unqualified. This half-yearly report has not been reviewed by the Company's auditor. 3. Earnings per share The calculation of earnings per share for the period is based on the return attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. There are no potentially dilutive capital instruments in issue and, therefore, no diluted returns per share figures are relevant. 4. Net asset value per share The net asset value per share is based on the net assets at the period end divided by the number of shares in issue at that date (6,785,233 in
each case). 5. Principal risks and uncertainties The Company's assets consist of equity and fixed interest investments, cash and liquid resources. Its principal risks are therefore market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Other risks faced by the Company include economic, loss of approval as a Venture Capital Trust, investment and strategic, regulatory, reputational, operational and financial risks. These risks, and the way in which they are managed, are described in more detail in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 29 February 2016. The Company's principal risks and uncertainties have not changed materially since the date of that report. 6. Related party transactions OT3 Managers Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary, provides investment management services to the Company for a fee of 1% of net assets per annum. 7.
