TIDMOXT Oxford Technology 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 GBP3.24m GBP3.33m Net Asset Value per Share 59.7p 61.2p Cumulative Dividend per Share 54.0p 52.7p Total NAV Return per Share 113.7p 113.9p Share Price 38.0p 40.5p Earnings per Share (0.2)p (3.8)p Company Number: 3276063 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 (NAV) per share has reduced from 61.2p at 29 February 2016 by 1.5p to 59.7p at 31 August 2016. This 1.5p per share movement in NAV is the sum of a reduction in underlying NAV per share of 0.2p and the payment of a 1.3p per share final revenue dividend on 20 July 2016. Portfolio review The Directors have reviewed the valuations of each investee company in the unquoted portfolio but have made only minor changes. The largest holding in the portfolio, that of Select Technology, increased modestly due to continued profitable growth. Our very small holding in DHA was exited at around book value for cash. The Company did not participate in the Scancell placing and open AIM offer due to restrictions imposed by VCT rules. The Scancell share price remained broadly stable through the period and ended the half year period flat at 17.5p per share. Shareholders should remain aware that the portfolio is very concentrated with just two holdings - Scancell and Select Technology - representing over 85% of NAV. The value of the portfolio is thus very sensitive to changes in valuations of these holdings. 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 just over GBP143,000. 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. John Chiplin, the new chairman of one of our investee companies, Scancell, gave a presentation that is available for download from the Oxford Technology website. The Directors' view remains that the portfolio - though concentrated - is well positioned for growth and continued cash generation. We continue to work to maximise value for shareholders and will, as per our stated strategy, continue to seek to crystallise this value and distribute to shareholders via dividend payments when valuation and liquidity allow. 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 (5,431,656 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 OT1 Managers Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary, provides investment management services to the Company for a fee of 1% of net assets per annum. 7.
