HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT

For the period from incorporation on 21 February 2018 to 30 June 2018

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

Overview and important events

RM ZDP plc (the "Company") was incorporated in England and Wales on 21 February 2018. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of RM Secured Direct Lending plc ("RMDL") and was incorporated for the sole purpose of issuing the ZDP Shares, described in note 6 to the financial statements.

The non-executive directors of the Company are Norman Crighton, Guy Heald and Marlene Wood who also act as directors of RMDL. The Directors have overall responsibility for the Company's activities. The Directors have delegated certain functions to other parties, such as the AIFM, the Administrator and the Registrar.

On 3 April 2018, 10,869,950 ZDP shares were issued and admitted to trading on the standard segment of the Official List of the London Stock Exchange. The Company has made a loan of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the ZDP Shares to RMDL pursuant to the ZDP Loan Agreement between the Company and RMDL. The Company's only material financial obligations are in respect of the ZDP Shares. Its only material assets are the ZDP Loan and the obligation of RMDL, under the Undertaking between RMDL and the Company, to put the Company in a position to meet its obligations in respect of the ZDP Shares and to pay its operating expenses.

Subject to the Companies Act, on a return of capital, on a winding-up or otherwise, ZDP Shareholders will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Initial Capital Entitlement of 100 pence per ZDP Share, increased at such daily accrual rate as compounds annually to give a Final Capital Entitlement of 110.91 pence per ZDP Share at the ZDP Repayment Date of 6 April 2021, which is equivalent to a Redemption Yield of 3.5 per cent. per annum (compounded annually).

As at 30 June 2018 the accrued capital entitlement per ZDP Share was 100.86p and the share price per ZDP Share was 101.5p.

Objective

The objective of the Company is to meet the final capital entitlement of the ZDP Shares at the ZDP Repayment Date.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risk and uncertainties faced by the Company arise from the Loan Agreement with RMDL and the ability of RMDL to meet its obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Undertaking. In order to mitigate these risks, there are various restrictions applicable to RMDL in the Loan Agreement and the Undertaking. In addition, under the Investment Policy of RMDL, there is a limit that gearing represented by borrowings, including any obligations owed by RMDL in respect of an issue of zero dividend preference shares (whether issued by RMDL or any other member of its group) or any third-party borrowings, will not, in aggregate, exceed 20 per cent. of the net asset value of RMDL calculated at the time of drawdown. The unaudited Gross Assets of RMDL at 30 June 2018 were GBP107.6 million.

Related party transactions

Details of related party transactions are provided in the notes to the financial statements.

 Notes to the unaudited financial statements 
 1. General information 
  RM ZDP plc ("the Company" or "ZDP") was incorporated in England 
  and Wales on 21 February 2018, with registered number 11217952 
  as a public company limited by shares under the Companies 
  Act. The Company commenced its operations on 3 April 2018. 
 2. Significant accounting policies 
 The principal accounting policies followed by the Company 
  are set out below: 
  (a) Basis of accounting 
 The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared 
  in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and 
  the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ('DTRs') of 
  the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. They do not include 
  all of the information required for full annual financial 
  statements and have been prepared on the historical cost basis. 
 The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going 
  concern basis. The Company relies on its parent company's 
  ability to repay the Loan and in its capacity as counterparty 
  to the Deed of Undertaking (as detailed in note 3) to continue 
  in operation as a going concern. 
 The functional and presentational currency of the Company 
  is Sterling (GBP). 
  (b) Financial instruments at amortised cost 
   Loan and receivables and Zero Dividend Preference Shares (ZDP 
   Shares) 
 The loan made by the Company to its parent company and the 
  ZDP Shares were initially recognised at cost and are subsequently 
  measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
  method. 
 
  Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting 
  date. 
 (c) Income 
 Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis in the 
  Statement of Comprehensive Income on a time-apportioned basis 
  using the effective interest rate method. 
  (d) Expenses 
 All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis and recognised 
  in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
 (e) Taxation 
 The charge for taxation is based upon the net return for the 
  period using the applicable UK corporation tax rate for the 
  reporting period. It takes into account both deductible and 
  non-deductible income and expenses incurred in the reporting 
  period. Deferred taxation will be recognised as an asset or 
  a liability if transactions have occurred at the initial reporting 
  date that give rise to an obligation to pay more taxation 
  in the future, or a right to pay less taxation in the future. 
  An asset will not be recognised to the extent that the transfer 
  of economic benefit is uncertain. 
 (f) Estimates and assumptions 
 The preparation of financial statements requires the Directors 
  to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application 
  of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, 
  liabilities, income and expenses. Although these estimates 
  are based on management's best knowledge of current facts, 
  circumstances and, to some extent, future events and actions, 
  the Company's actual results may ultimately differ from those 
  estimates, possibly significantly. 
 3. Loan and receivables 
                                                                                              Period

                                                                                             30 June 
                                                                                                2018

 Intercompany Loan Agreement 
 The ZDP Loan Agreement was entered into immediately prior 
  to Admission, between the Company (as lender) and RMDL (as 
  borrower) pursuant to which, immediately following Admission, 
  the Company lent RMDL the Gross ZDP Placing Proceeds, which 
  has been applied by RMDL towards making investments in accordance 
  with its Investment Policy and for working capital purposes. 
 The ZDP Loan Agreement provides that, interest will accrue 
  on the ZDP Loan daily at a rate of 2% per annum, compounded 
  annually on each anniversary of Admission of the ZDP Shares 
  and will be rolled up and paid to the Company along with repayment 
  of the principal amount of the ZDP Loan on the date falling 
  2 Business Days before the ZDP Repayment Date of 6 April 2021, 
  provided that the ZDP Loan shall become repayable by the Company 
  immediately upon the passing of a Winding-Up Resolution, a 
  ZDP Recommended Resolution or a ZDP Reconstruction Resolution. 
 Deed of Undertaking 
 The Undertaking was entered into immediately prior to Admission, 
  between the Company (as beneficiary) and RMDL (as grantor) 
  pursuant to which, to the extent that the Final Capital Entitlement 
  multiplied by the number of outstanding ZDP Shares as at the 
  ZDP Repayment Date (or, if earlier, the accrued capital entitlement 
  multiplied by the number of outstanding ZDP Shares following 
  the date on which a Winding-Up Resolution is approved) exceeds 
  the aggregate principal amount and accrued interest due from 
  RMDL to the Company pursuant to the ZDP Loan Agreement as 
  at the ZDP Repayment Date (the "Additional Funding Requirement"), 
  RMDL shall: (i) subscribe an amount equal to or greater than 
  the Additional Funding Requirement for Subsidiary Ordinary 
  Shares (the "Additional Shares"); or (ii) make a capital contribution 
  or gift or otherwise pay an amount equal to or greater than 
  (where rounding is required) the Additional Funding Requirement. 
  Where applicable, the Additional Shares may be Subsidiary 
  Ordinary Shares or such other class of shares in the Company 
  as is agreed between the Company and RMDL. 
 During the period to 30 June 2018, further to its initial 
  subscription for Ordinary Shares, RMDL contributed GBP38,000
