Chairman's Statement
In the half year to 30 June 2018 your Company's net asset value
per share decreased from 489.2p to 447.5p. After allowing for the
return of capital in February 2018 of 50p per share and a final
dividend for 2017 of 5.5p paid in May 2018, the total return to
shareholders was 2.8%, in terms of net asset value, and 15.9% in
terms of share price.
The share price of 386p at 30 June 2018 represents a discount of
13.7% to the net asset value of 447.5p per share.
Following the half year end, on 27 September 2018 the successful
realisation of Pyroguard, the specialist fire resistant glass
manufacturer, was completed. Total proceeds from the sale amounted
to GBP9.3m which represents an uplift of GBP0.4m over the valuation
of GBP8.9m at 31 March 2018. The original cost of the investment
was GBP3.8m and, over its life, a total of GBP22.5m has been
received by Dunedin Enterprise, representing a 5.9 times return and
an IRR of 35%.
Portfolio
During the half year one new investment was made and following
the half year end one realisation was achieved.
An investment of GBP6.4m was made in GPS, the global payments
processor which supports a number of digital banks, challenger
banks, fintechs and financial institutions. GPS is a market leader
in issuer processing, enabling next generation payment
technology.
Deferred proceeds were received from the realisation of Steeper
and there was a recapitalisation of Dolz which is held within the
Realza portfolio.
As noted above, Pyroguard was successfully realised in September
2018.
The trading performance of our portfolio companies has generally
improved in the half year. Unrealised value increases of GBP7.8m
were partially offset by value decreases of GBP4.9m. Valuation
uplifts were achieved at Red, FRA, Pyroguard and Realza. In the
case of Pyroguard the valuation at 30 June 2018 reflects the
proceeds received in September. The valuation of the other
businesses benefitted from good organic growth.
The most significant valuation reduction in the half year to 30
June 2018 was at Formaplex. Further details are provided in the
Manager's Review.
Commitments & Liquidity
The Company had outstanding commitments to limited partnership
funds of GBP42.2m at 30 June 2018 which was reduced to GBP35.5m
following a drawdown in July 2018 by Dunedin Buyout Fund III LP
("DBFIII") for the investment in GPS. The outstanding commitment
position following this drawdown consisted of GBP33.3m to Dunedin
managed funds and GBP2.2m to the European funds. Assuming these
funds are held to maturity, it is estimated that only some GBP23m
of this total outstanding commitment will be drawn over the
remaining life of the funds.
The majority of the Company's assets are held by way of limited
partnership interests in Dunedin's funds, one of which is still
actively investing. Although DBFIII's investment period ceases on 7
November 2018 the fund may make a new investment after that date
provided the transaction was already at an advanced stage.
The Company has a revolving credit facility with Lloyds Bank of
GBP10m which was undrawn at 30 June 2018 and is available until 31
May 2019. This facility was reduced from GBP20m to GBP10m at 31 May
2018 and the Board will keep under review the need to retain a
credit facility depending upon the timing of further realisations
from the portfolio.
B shares
Following the realisation of Pyroguard, the Company holds cash
and cash equivalents of GBP24.3m. In light of the outstanding
commitments to limited partnership funds, the Board has decided to
return GBP10.3m to shareholders via a further issue of B Shares of
50p each. These B Shares will be paid up from capital and issued to
all shareholders by way of a bonus issue pro-rata to their holding
of Ordinary Shares on the basis of one B Share for every one
Ordinary Share held at the record date of 6.00pm on 8 October 2018.
The B Shares will be issued on 9 October 2018 and immediately
redeemed at 50p each. The Ordinary Shares will trade ex-B Share
entitlement with effect from 5 October 2018. The proceeds from the
redemption of the B Shares will be sent to shareholders on 23
October 2018, either through CREST to uncertificated shareholders
or via cheque to certificated shareholders.
Dividends
A final dividend of 5.5p per share relating to the year ended 31
December 2017 was paid to shareholders in May 2018 amounting to
GBP1.1m.
Outlook
The Board will continue to maximise shareholder value through
the orderly wind-down of the remaining investments held by the
Company. This policy has served shareholders well to date.
The Board will continue to monitor the secondary market for
interests in private equity funds to evaluate whether shareholders'
interests are best served by realising our fund interests or
whether continuing to hold them is likely to provide better
returns.
The Board is encouraged that the pricing of realisations of
quality businesses and fund interests remains buoyant, and by the
improving trading performance in the majority of the portfolio.

Manager's Review
Results for the six months to 30 June 2018
In the six months to 30 June 2018, Dunedin Enterprise's net
asset value per share total return was 2.8%, after taking account
of dividends paid for 2017 of 5.5p per share (paid in May 2018) and
an issue and redemption of B shares equivalent to 50p per share
(paid in February 2018). This compares with an increase in the FTSE
Small Cap Index (ex Inv. Cos) over the same period of 0.1%.
In the six months to 30 June 2018 Dunedin Enterprise invested a
total of GBP10.0m and realised GBP2.6m from investments.

(*2) - includes GBP6.7m drawn down by DBFIII following the half
year end for the investment in GPS and ongoing costs
New investment activity
In June 2018, the Company made an investment of GBP6.4m through
Dunedin Buyout Fund III LP in GPS, the global payments processor
which supports a number of digital banks, challenger banks,
fintechs and financial institutions. GPS is a market leader in
issuer processing, enabling next generation payment technology. It
provides a single, global integrated platform, GPS Apex, that
powers and enables functionality of next generation fintech payment
companies. GPS employs circa 150 people based in London and
Newcastle.
There were follow-on investments into Formaplex (GBP1.5m),
Hawksford (GBP1.1m) and Premier Hytemp (GBP0.5m). A follow-on
investment was made into Formaplex, the designer and manufacturer
of injection-moulded tooling, composite tooling and lightweight
components for the automotive industry, to provide ongoing working
capital support. Hawksford, the provider of corporate, private
client and specialist fund services, completed an acquisition in
Asia which was funded by a combination of bank debt and investment
from Dunedin managed funds. An investment was made in Premier
Hytemp, the provider of highly engineered steel and nickel alloys
and components for the oil and gas industry, to fund the
acquisition of a facility in Malaysia.
A further GBP0.5m was drawn down by Dunedin and third party
managed funds to meet management fees and ongoing expenses.
Realisations
In the half year a total of GBP2.6m was realised from the
portfolio of investments.
Deferred realisation proceeds of GBP1.3m were received from
Steeper during the half year. A further GBP0.3m was also received
in August 2018. Red repaid GBP0.3m of loan stock following a period
of strong trading.
There was a GBP1.0m repayment of loan stock from within the
Realza portfolio following a recapitalisation of Dolz, the
automotive pump manufacturer.
Unrealised movements in valuations
Unrealised valuation increases in the half year amounted to
GBP7.8m. There were valuation uplifts at Red (GBP2.5m), FRA
(GBP2.2m), Pyroguard (GBP1.2m) and Steeper (GBP1.1m).
Red, the supplier of SAP software experts on both a contract and
permanent basis, has continued to experience a strengthening demand
for its services particularly in the contracting division. This has
resulted in a 24% increase in maintainable EBITDA in the half
year.
FRA, the provider of forensic accounting, data analytics and
e-discovery expertise, continues to experience a strong demand for
its services since the buyout was completed in March 2017. The
company is significantly outperforming the original business plan
with maintainable EBITDA increasing a further 15% during the half
year. This performance has been driven by a combination of growth
in existing projects and new project wins. The pipeline for new
projects remains strong.
Pyroguard, the manufacturer and distributor of fire resistant
glass, has been valued at the realised proceeds received in
September 2018.
The principal valuation reduction was at Formaplex (GBP2.8m).
The maintainable EBITDA of Formaplex has suffered in the period
from a number of lost and delayed orders. This has resulted in
maintainable EBITDA being reduced by 28% in the half year.
The average earnings multiple applied to the valuation of the
Dunedin managed portfolio was 7.9x EBITDA (31 December 2017: 7.6x)
or 9.6x EBITA (31 December 2017: 9.3x). These multiples are applied
to the maintainable earnings of portfolio companies. Within the
Dunedin managed portfolio, the weighted average gearing of the
companies was 2.9x EBITDA (31 December 2017: 3.1x) or 3.5x EBITA
(31 December 2017: 3.7x).
The portfolio continues to be valued in accordance with the
International Private Equity Venture Capital valuation guidelines
(www.privateequityvaluation.com).

Responsibility statement of the Directors
in respect of the half-yearly financial report
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
- the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by
the EU
- the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by:
(a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules, being an indication of important events that have occurred
during the first six months of the financial year and their impact
on the condensed set of financial statements; and a description of
the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months
of the year; and
(b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in
the first six months of the current financial year and that have
materially affected the financial position or performance of the
entity during that period; and any changes in the related party
transactions described in the last annual report that could do
so.
By Order of the Board
Duncan Budge
Chairman
28 September 2018
Notes to the Accounts
1. Unaudited Interim Report
The comparative financial information contained in this report
for the year ended 31 December 2017 does not constitute the
Company's statutory accounts but is derived from those accounts.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor has reported
on those accounts; their report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not
include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew
attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and
(iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of
the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2017
and 30 June 2018 have not been audited.
2. Basis of Preparation
These condensed set of financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct
Authority (FCA) and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted
by the European Union (EU). They do not include all the information
required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in
full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December
2017.
The Association of Investment Companies ('AIC') issued a revised
Statement of Recommended Practice for the Financial Statements of
Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts in February
2018 ('SORP') applicable to accounting periods commencing on or
after 1 January 2019. Where presentational guidance set out in the
SORP is consistent with the requirements of IFRS, the Directors
have sought to prepare the financial statements on a basis
compliant with the recommendations of the SORP.
In May 2016 shareholders approved a change in the investment
policy of the Company. The Company's new investment objective is to
conduct an orderly realisation of its relatively illiquid assets,
to be effected in a manner that seeks to achieve a balance between
maximising the value of its assets and progressively returning cash
to shareholders. As it is likely this process, which is expected to
have a duration of several years, will ultimately lead to the
liquidation of the Company, these financial statements have not
been prepared on a going concern basis. No adjustments were
necessary to the investment valuations or other assets and
liabilities included in the financial statement as a consequence of
the change in the basis of preparation.

5. Investments
All investments are designated fair value through profit or loss
at initial recognition, therefore all gains and losses that arise
on investments are designated at fair value through profit or loss.
Given the nature of the Company's investments the fair value gains
recognised in these financial statements are not considered to be
readily convertible to cash in full at the balance sheet date and
therefore the movement in these fair values are treated as
unrealised.
Fair value hierarchy
The Company measures fair values using the following fair value
hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in
making the measurements:
-- Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market
for an identical instrument.
-- Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs,
either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from
prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted
market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted
prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are
considered less than active; or other valuation techniques where
all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from
market data.
-- Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable
inputs. This category includes all instruments where the valuation
technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the
unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's
valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based
on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant
unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect
differences between the instruments.
The table below analyses financial instruments, measured at fair
value at the end of the reporting period, by the level in the fair
value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is
categorised:

The Company recognises transfers between the levels of the fair
value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which
the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between Level 1 and
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended 30
June 2018.

Valuation of investments
Unquoted investments are fair valued by the Directors in
accordance with the following rules, which are consistent with the
International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation
Guidelines:
-- Investments are only valued at cost for a limited period
after the date of acquisition, otherwise investments are valued on
one of the other basis detailed below. Generally the earnings
multiple basis of valuation will be used.
-- When valuing on an earnings basis, the maintainable earnings
of a company are multiplied by an appropriate multiple.
-- An investment may be valued by reference to the value of its
net assets. This is appropriate for businesses whose value derives
mainly from the underlying value of its assets rather than its
earnings.
-- When investments have obtained an exit (either by listing or
trade sale) after the valuation date but before finalisation of the
relevant accounts (interim or final), the valuation is based on the
exit valuation.
-- Accrued interest on loans to portfolio companies is included
in valuations where there is an expectation that the interest will
be received.
IFRS 13 requires disclosure, by class of financial instrument,
if the effect of changing one or more inputs to reasonably possible
alternative assumptions would result in a significant change to the
fair value measurement. The information used in determination of
the fair value of Level 3 investments is chosen with reference to
the specific underlying circumstances and position of the investee
company. On that basis the Board believe that the impact of
changing one or more of the inputs to reasonably possible
alternative assumptions would not change the fair value
significantly.
The Directors consider the carrying value of financial
instruments in the financial statements to represent their fair
value.
6. Statement of Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Directors believe that the principal risks and uncertainties
faced by the Company include investment and strategic, liquidity,
cash drag, people and loss of investment trust status risks. These
risks and other risks, and the way in which they are managed, are
described in more detail under the heading "Principal Risks, Risk
Management and Regulatory Environment" in the Strategic Report
Review in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year
ended 31 December 2017. The Company's principal risks and
uncertainties have not changed materially since the date of that
report. These principal risks and uncertainties are not expected to
change materially for the remaining six months of the Company's
financial year.
