EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

Portfolio Performance

We are delighted that our expectations of seeing a number of significant positive portfolio revaluations announced in our 2014 Annual Report started to materialize so early on in 2015. It is especially pleasing to see that a number of companies in which we invested at an earlier stage are now attracting the attention of large, blue chip investment groups at higher valuations to support their continued growth.

The following developments took place within the Company's portfolio in the first half of 2015:

Cash and part-cash exits:

   --    There were no cash or part-cash exists in the reporting period. 

Positive non-cash revaluations:

-- In February 2015, Drippler, a mobile tech discovery media service, completed a sizable equity financing round. The transaction represents an uplift of approximately US$97,000 (or 48%) in the fair value of TMT's investment in Drippler, compared to the amount announced as of 30 June 2014.

-- In April 2015, Wrike, a SaaS-based work management platform, completed a US$15 million equity financing round. The transaction represents an approximately US$2.3 million (or 116%) uplift in the fair value of TMT's investment in Wrike, compared to the latest reported amount reported as of 31 December 2014.

-- In April 2015, Pipedrive, a SaaS-based sales CRM software provider, completed a US$9 million equity financing round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. The transaction represents an approximately US$1.82 million (or 235%) uplift in the fair value of TMT's investment in Pipedrive, compared to the latest reported amount as of 31 December 2014.

-- In May 2015, farm management software provider VitalFields completed a new equity financing round. The transaction represents an uplift of approximately US$36,000 (or 27%) in the fair value of TMT's investment in VitalFields, compared to the latest reported amount as of 31 December 2014.

-- In June 2015, PandaDoc, a SaaS-based sales management tool, completed a US$5 million equity financing round. The transaction represents an uplift of approximately US$90,000 (or 22%) in the fair value of TMT's investment in PandaDoc, compared to the latest reported amount as of 31 December 2014.

Impairments and write-offs:

   --    There were no impairments or write-offs in the reporting period. 

Negative non-cash revaluations:

   --    There were no negative non-cash revaluations in the reporting period. 

New investments

In April 2015, the Company invested US$300,000 in fragrance subscription service ScentBird.

NAV per share

The Company's net asset value per share as of 30 June 2015 was US$1.51 (up 11.0% from US$1.36 as of 31 December 2014).

Operating Expenses

In the first half of 2015, the Company's Administrative Expenses of US$484,113 were notably lower than in the first half of 2014 (US$652,287). That was the result of a number of cost-cutting measures undertaken by the Company at the end of 2014.

Financial position

As of 30 June 2015, the Company had US$1.84 million in cash reserves. As of the date of this report, the Company has no debt and approximately US$2.13 million in cash reserves.

Events after the reporting period and outlook

In August 2015, the Company invested an additional US$100,000 in ScentBird.

In August 2015, TMT's portfolio company Kanvas Labs, Inc. ("Kanvas") was acquired by AOL, Inc. The transaction represents an approximately US$0.46 million (or 134%) uplift in the fair value of TMT's investment in Kanvas, compared to the latest reported amount as of 31 December 2014.

With many of our portfolio companies experiencing rapid growth, we expect a number of continuing positive revaluations of our investee companies in the future. We look forward to updating our shareholders on the Company's progress in due course.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

   1.         Company information 

TMT Investments Plc ("TMT" or the "Company") is a company incorporated in Jersey with its registered office at Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, JE1 1ES, Channel Islands.

The Company was incorporated and registered on 30 September 2010 in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 with registration number 106628 under the name TMT Investments Limited. The Company obtained consent from the Jersey Financial Services Commission pursuant to the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1985 on 30 September 2010. On 1 December 2010 the Company re-registered as a public company and changed its name to TMT Investments PLC.

The memorandum and articles of association of the Company do not restrict its activities and therefore it has unlimited legal capacity. The Company's ability to implement its Investment Policy and achieve its desired returns will be limited by its ability to identify and acquire suitable investments. Suitable investment opportunities may not always be readily available.

The Company will seek to make investments in any region of the world.

The financial information relating to the six months ended 30 June 2015 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014 were approved by the Board of Directors on 20 April 2014. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain any qualification.

These unaudited interim financial results were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 September 2015 and are available on the Company's website http://www.tmtinvestments.com/investor-relations/financial-reports/.

   2.         Summary of significant accounting policies 
   2.1     Basis of presentation 

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited interim results are based on International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, including IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', and in accordance with the accounting policies which are the same as those applied by the Company in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

The Company's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

For the purposes of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' the Company currently has one segment, being 'Investing in the TMT sector'. No further operating segment financial information is therefore disclosed

The diluted loss per share for both 2015 and 2014 is kept the same as the basic loss per share because the conversion of the share options decreases the basic loss per share and is therefore anti-dilutive.

Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair values. Where financial assets do not have a quoted market price in an active market and their fair values cannot be reliably measured they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of reporting period, in accordance with IAS 39 para 46 (c) exemption.

Where there has been a relevant transaction during the year that gives an indication of the fair value of the unlisted shares, the shares are included at that fair value and the increase or decrease in fair value is recognised in the fair value reserve. The "price of recent investment" methodology is used mainly for investments in venture capital companies and includes cost of investment or valuation by reference to a subsequent financing round. Valuation increases above cost are only recognised if that round involved a new external investor and the company is meeting milestones set by investor.
