             in November and paid in December 2021. Otherwise, there was positive

             Company Activity 
             The Company declared a dividend of 1.625 pence per share in respect 
             of Q3 2021 in November. This was paid in December, marking the 
             19(th) distribution for the Company at or above the Company's 
             stated annual targets, which currently is 6.5 pence per share. 
             Since inception, the Company has distributed a total of 34.355 
             pence per share to investors. 
             During December, the Company purchased a total of 103,794 ordinary 
             shares in two transactions at an average price of 93.96 pence 
             per share representing a 3.28% discount to the latest published 
             NAV at the time of trade execution. 
             The closing mid share price at the year-end was 95 pence which 
             is 8 pence per share higher than the opening mid share price 
             at the start of the year and represents a total share return(12) 
             of 17.27% for the year. 
             The Investment Manager was accredited as a lender by the British 
             Business Bank through the Recovery Loan Scheme "RLS" in October. 
             RMII is the funding partner under the RLS programme, and this 
             offers further opportunities to make secured loans within the 
             Company's core sectors, increasing the proportion of the portfolio 
             that benefits from contractual government guarantees. The proportion 
             of the portfolio benefitting from partial UK government guarantees 
             increased over the quarter from circa 24% to circa 27%. 
 
 
 
             Portfolio Update 
             Overall, the fourth quarter of 2021 was a stable quarter for 
             the portfolio with a NAV % Total Return of +0.82%. Investments 
             and repayments for the quarter are shown below: 
              *    Loan ref 15. Healthcare - GBP4.5m invested in Voyage 
                   Care 1(st) Lien bonds maturing in 2023. 
 
 
              *    Loan ref 92. Hotel & Leisure - GBP2.5m under the RLS 
                   to complete the funding required for the Glasgow 
                   Virgin hotel scheme. 
 
 
              *    Loan ref 88. & 83. Healthcare - further drawdowns 
                   under the Company's committed facilities totalling 
                   circa GBP3m largely driven by drawdowns under these 
                   two construction facilities provided to a leading UK 
                   healthcare operator in the purpose-built modern care 
                   home market. One of the properties reached practical 
                   completion during the quarter. 
 
 
              *    Loan ref 74. Student accommodation - repayment 
                   totalling circa GBP4.25m. 
 
 
              *    Loan ref 58. Hotel & Leisure - repayment totalling 
                   GBP1.74m. 
 
 
 
             Finally, considering inflation is high and is expected to remain 
             elevated with the further interest rate hikes by global central 
             banks likely, the Investment Manager remains confident in regard 
             to the low interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio. This is 
             largely due to the short duration nature of the portfolio with 
             a weighted average loan life of 2.2 years. Thus, in a relatively 
             high inflationary environment loans are repaid relatively quicky 
             and can be reinvested at higher yields.
