Investment Manager's Report

For the six months ended 30(th) September 2014

Portfolio Review and Investment Activity

Following the sale of Tamar European Industrial Fund Ltd to Starwood, and the sale of the small remaining holding in Rugby Estates plc, the sole remaining material holding in Terra Catalyst Fund Limited ("TCF") is now Spazio Investments NV ("Spazio").

Spazio

Carrying value

The carrying value per share of Spazio in these interim financial statements is EUR6.43 per share. This is unchanged from the audited financial statements of TCF at 31(st) March 2014.

The carrying value per share incorporates the EUR7.04 value per share as per the audited financial statements of Spazio as at 31(st) December 2013, adjusted for the tax settlement, as disclosed in the audited financial statements of TCF at 31(st) March 2014 in which Laxey reported that due to the efforts of the directors of Spazio and their advisors, the tax case had been settled with the tax authorities for EUR14m, including interest for late payment.

Strategy and Market Update

Spazio Industriale ("The Fund"), the Italian registered fund through which Spazio invests in Italian property, continues to focus on its strategic plan to improve the marketability of the portfolio through asset refurbishment and re-leasing. It is making good progress with leasing vacant space and extending the lease length profile of the portfolio presently leased to tenants in order to make it more attractive to potential purchasers. We anticipate that the majority of lease re-negotiations will be concluded well in advance of the expiry of the Fund's debt facilities, and we note that interest in portfolios of well leased assets is increasing from overseas investors looking to invest in the Italian commercial property market; following sharp increases in value in other markets across Europe. In particular, the recoveries in the Irish and Spanish markets are leading opportunistic investors to look more closely at Italy to invest some of the cash they have raised for European investment.

Political developments are also driving an increase in interest, with the government currently implementing an ambitious reform package, which includes new Italian REIT legislation, new rules on financing and new provisions on lease agreements. Changes to the REIT rules are being made to bring Italian legislation more into line with other EU REIT regimes, while the changes to financing should facilitate non-bank financing and make it easier for insurance companies to finance without involving a bank or financial intermediary.

The changes to the leasing rules may prove to have a significant impact. The key changes are being made for annual rents over EUR250k pa, to move from a "tenant friendly" model to one more in line with a free market model. The key provisions of the new rules are below, and mark a significant change to the current situation:

   --      No tenant's automatic right to walk away in case of so called "serious reasons" 

-- An ability to agree a shorter or longer duration of the lease than is currently available under the existing framework

   --      The ability to depart from the standard indexation in leases 
   --      The ability to vary subleasing terms and pre-emption rights on the sale of the property 

We believe that market participants tend to see Italy as being six to twelve months behind Spain in terms of capital and occupier markets, but there have been signs of a gradual pickup in interest recently, following a significant re-rating in Spanish values. There are more investors looking at Italy than a year ago, but an illiquid market and a lack of core institutional product has meant transactions have been lower than in much of the rest of Europe. Nonetheless, CBRE have reported that Italy saw EUR3.6bn of cross border property investment in 2013, more than double the amount in 2012. The trend for increased foreign investment seems to be continuing in 2014, with 48% of the EUR700m in Q1 2014 commercial real estate deals coming from abroad, with the majority of deals being portfolio transactions, as large individual properties on the market have remained scarce. As can be seen from the graph below, this increase in foreign investment has driven the recovery in overall transaction volumes.

The website version of this notification includes a chart setting out the trend in commercial property sales in Italy and can be found on the Company's website www.terracatalystfund.com.

For now, investment is being driven mainly by the weight of capital while the fundamentals of much of the commercial property market remain fairly weak, with no significant reductions in vacancy rates and with tenants often reluctant to invest. However, while Italy remains in recession, there are positive signs, particularly in the North, with an increase in demand for credit amongst businesses and consumers.

According to Knight Frank, H1 2014 take up in the benchmark Milan office market was 146k sqm, around double that of H1 2013, with the full year figure expected to exceed 2013 and reach the long term average of around 250k sqm. While prime rents are flat, capital values have risen due to prime yields hardening from 5.5% to 5.25%. A lack of product for sale in the prime Milan office market has kept transaction levels low to date in 2014, but there are a number of transactions in the pipeline and there are also encouraging signs that a lack of core property for sale is leading to further interest in the wider Italian commercial property market. We note that in Q1 2014 a significant portfolio of logistics warehouses worth approximately EUR165m was transacted, with under-bidders looking to deploy capital elsewhere.

Well known investors that have been active recently include Allianz purchasing the Fiumara (Genoa) shopping centre for EUR150m and Blackstone purchasing two shopping centres in Carpi and Brindisi for a total of EUR170m. The sovereign wealth Fund of Qatar bought the Milan offices of Credit Suisse for EUR106m, while an Italian investor, Fabrica Immobiliare Sgr, acquired Telecom Italia offices in Milan for a total of EUR75m.

Financing for Italian property has not been plentiful in recent years, and the recent European stress tests showed that many of the European banks under pressure were located in Italy, with 9 of the total 25 banks highlighted by the tests based in the country. We are not surprised by this, and have noted in the past that the Italian banking system remains under considerable pressure. However, we see it as a positive that some of the problems have now been highlighted and we are cautiously optimistic that this may represent a turning point in fixing some of the problems in the system and lead to an increase in the supply of credit to the economy.

Portfolio

The Fund owns a portfolio of 170 properties with predominantly industrial and logistics use, located throughout Italy and with a total open market value (OMV) as 30(th) June 2014 of EUR358.9m, virtually unchanged from the valuation of EUR359.5m at

31(st) December 2013. There have been no sales concluded so far in 2014, although properties with a value of approximately EUR3m are under binding offers at an 18.2% premium to their carrying value. This is mostly made up of the property at Portoferraio, where a price of EUR2.6m has been agreed. The Fund has now completed the agreed site reclamation works of EUR100k and this sale is expected to conclude shortly as planned.

In line with the strategy of focusing on leasing and asset management, a number of leases have been signed so far that start in 2014, with additional rent totalling over EUR1m. A summary table of the signed new leases is shown in the website version of this notification which can be found on the Company's website www.terracatalystfund.com.

The new leases should increase the rental income received by the Fund in 2014 from that received in 2013. At 30(th) June 2014, the total annualised passing rent was approximately EUR18.2m, an increase from the year end, where the total annualised passing rent at 31(st) December 2013 was approximately EUR17.4m.

In line with the strategic direction of the Fund, negotiations on the lease extension with Telecom Italia are continuing, as are discussions with RAI to extend the duration and future marketability of the asset that they occupy.

The Fund also concluded a lease extension on the asset at Castiglion Fibocchi with Prada, where Prada has agreed to extend the lease contract for a year, while vacating the asset at Ancona a few months early, for which they would have otherwise incurred a penalty. This asset was vacated on 31(st) July 2014 and is currently being prepared for re-leasing.

As part of the lease negotiations with tenants, extraordinary maintenance is being carried out at a number of properties to ensure tenant satisfaction and improve rents:

-- At Bagni di Tivoli, as agreed with MTN, the Fund tendered in July for works totalling EUR400k to customise a portion of the property leased

-- At Via Mecenate in Milan, the Fund has begun EUR130k of works shared with the tenant RAI in order to redo access tunnels to the television studios

-- At Sesto San Giovanni, the second stage of the works to the external areas of the buildings has begun, which in total will cost approximately EUR850k

-- At Eastgate Park, the Fund has awarded in July a EUR1m tender to develop a purification plant for the municipalities in line with the urbanisation requirements agreed as part of the town planning agreement

We believe that such works represent important measures being taken by the Fund to attract and protect rental income and extend lease durations to make the portfolio more attractive to potential investors. The value created through such activities should also improve the valuations of assets, increasing the NAV and reducing the loan to value ("LTV") of the Fund.

The new SGR has also been focusing on resolving legacy issues with unpaid rent from a number of tenants.

-- At Mel, where ACC Compressors went into insolvency in June 2013 and had not paid its rent for around two years, the situation is now almost resolved following the sale of the company to the Chinese Wanbao Group Compressor Company. We believe the majority of the unpaid rent will be recovered, while a new 12+6 year lease is under negotiation

-- At Sesto San Giovanni the former tenant for some of the office space, Centro Edilmarelli, is being pursued for approximately EUR2.8m following the termination of the contract by mutual consent

-- At Turate, where the previous SGR signed a settlement agreement for EUR2.1m against a total of EUR5m outstanding, there is now just EUR160k remaining to be paid at 30(th) June 2014, following a postponement of the deadline to H2 2014

All of these activities are combining to improve the profile of the portfolio and we believe that the marketability of properties where the asset management activities are substantially complete has been significantly enhanced.

Bank financing

At the loan covenant testing date of 30(th) September 2014, the net LTV of the Fund was 57.4%.

The Fund's debt facilities are shown below:

   --      Jumbo Loan - EUR182.3m fixed until 31(st) October 2016 at an all in cost of 3.27% 
   --      EGP Loan - EUR43.7m fixed until 31(st) December 2015 at an all in cost of 3.1% 

At 30(th) June 2014 the remaining balances on these facilities were EUR180.4m for the jumbo loan, and EUR37.6m for the EGP loan.

There is a cross collateralisation provision, and cash sweeps have been put in place to reduce the LTV ratio across both loans. A formula is in place so that a portion of property sales proceeds are applied to pay down the loan to which the property relates, and a portion are applied to pay down the Portoguaro loan.

When the Portoguaro loan has been paid down, and the LTV on the Jumbo loan is below 55%, then the sale proceed net of debt repayment and costs will become almost entirely freely available to the Fund. Rental income will also become freely available to the Fund, but until that occurs, recurring free cash flow from rents will be held in a cash trap account, available for capex and operating expenditure, but not for distribution.

As previously communicated, due to the cash sweeps in place, from October 2013 there will not be any free cash for distributions from the Fund up to Spazio without substantial property sales. Even when the Fund is in a position where some of the sales proceeds are available to the Fund, the proportion will be lower than previously. Spazio has managed to return EUR3.38 per share to shareholders to date, or 66% of the bid price, but shareholders in TCF should not expect further substantial returns in the short to medium term.

Review Report by KPMG Audit LLC to Terra Catalyst Fund

For the six months ended 30(th) September 2014

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly report for the six months ended 30(th) September 2014, which comprises the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement. 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.

Directors' responsibilities

The half-yearly report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly report in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the AIM Rules.

The annual financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 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 report based on our review.

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. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) 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.

Emphasis of matter - valuation of investment in Spazio Investment NV

In forming our opinion on the condensed set of financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 7 to the financial statements concerning the valuation of the interest in shares of Spazio Investment NV ("Spazio) of GBP30,689,926. This is stated at Directors' valuation, with the advice of the Investment Manager, in the absence of a readily ascertainable and reliable market value and is based on the net asset value per share of Spazio, per its last audited accounts as at 31(st) December 2013 less EUR14m in respect of a tax settlement that was agreed after Spazio's year end. Due to the inherent uncertainty associated with the determination of the valuation, the amount realised on its disposal may differ materially from the amount at which it is stated in the financial statements. The impact of such uncertainty cannot be quantified.

Conclusion

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 report for the six months ended 30(th) September 2014 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the AIM Rules.
