In seeking to achieve its objectives, the Company will invest on the basis of the
following conservative principles:
(a) TPIM will seek investments where robust due diligence has been
undertaken;
(b) TPIM will favour investments where there is a high level of access to
material financial and other information on an ongoing basis (as a condition
for investing in a company, the Company may nominate directors to the
boards of investee companies);
(c) TPIM will seek to minimise the risk of losses when investing through careful
analysis of the collateral available to investee companies;
(d) TPIM will target investments where there is a strong relationship with the
key decision makers.
Qualifying Investments
or exit. The Company will pursue investments in a range of sectors and where the type of
business being targeted meets its investment criteria. The objective is to build a
diversified portfolio of young unquoted companies which are cash generative and
therefore capable of producing predictable income for the Company prior to realisation
Although investments will be sought in a range of sectors, the Company's portfolio will
comprise companies with certain characteristics; for example clear commercial and
financial objectives, strong customer relationships and, where possible, tangible assets
with value. The Company will focus on identifying businesses typically with predictable
revenues from a high-quality customer base. Businesses with assets providing valuable
security may also be considered. The objective is to reduce the risk of capital value
volatility by selecting businesses with stable valuation characteristics and to provide
investors with an attractive income stream.
following: The criteria against which investment targets would be assessed will include the
(a) an attractive valuation at the time of the investment;
(b) managed risk of capital losses;
(c) predictability and reliability of the company's cash flows;
(d) the quality of the business's counterparties, suppliers and market position;
(e) the sector in which the business is active. The Company will focus on
sectors where its capital can be used to create growth but not where
returns are speculative. Key target sectors include energy, entertainment
and social enterprise.
(f) the quality of the company's assets;
(g) the opportunity to structure an investment that can produce distributable
income;
(h) the prospect of achieving an exit after 5 years.
Non-Qualifying Investments
The Non-Qualifying Investments will consist of cash, cash-based similar liquid
investments and investments of a similar profile to the Qualifying Investments and with
an expected realisation date which meets the cash requirements of the VCT.
Borrowing Powers
The Company has no present intention of utilising direct borrowing as a strategy for
improving or enhancing returns. To the extent that borrowing is required, the
Directors will restrict the borrowings of the Company and exercise all voting and
other rights or powers of control over its subsidiary undertakings (if any) to ensure
that the aggregate amount of money borrowed by the group, being the Company
and any subsidiary undertakings for the time being, (excluding intra-group
borrowings), shall not without the previous sanction of an ordinary resolution of the
Company exceed 30% of its NAV at the time of any borrowing.
It is proposed to amend the Company's investment policy at the General Meeting so
that the criteria against which investment targets would be assessed referred to
above that relates to the prospect of achieving an exit after 5 years
shall be
restricted to the Ordinary Share Fund and the A Ordinary Share Fund.
B.35 Borrowing
limits
The Directors will restrict the borrowings of the Company in accordance with the
Company's articles of association which provide that the aggregate amount of money
that can be borrowed by the group, being the Company and any subsidiary undertakings
for the time being, (excluding intra-group borrowings), shall not, without the previous
sanction of an ordinary resolution of the Company, exceed 30% of its NAV at the time of
any borrowing.
B.36 Regulatory
status
The Company is authorised and regulated by the FCA as a self managed alternative
investment fund.
B.37 Typical
investor
The profile of a typical investor will be an ordinary retail, sophisticated, high net worth or
professional individual with sufficient income and capital such that his investment in the
Company can be tied up for at least five years, who is attracted by the income tax relief
available for a VCT investment, and who seeks a venture capital strategy focused on
capital stability and early realisations.

Investment management arrangement
Under an agreement ("the IMA") dated 14 December 2007, as amended, between the
Company and Triple Point, Triple Point provides discretionary and advisory investment
management services to the Company in respect of its portfolio of investments in
accordance with the provisions of the IMA.
Under the terms of the IMA:

in respect of the fund representing the Ordinary Shares issued prior to the ESBB,
Triple Point will receive 1% of any amounts returned to holders of Ordinary
Shares issued prior to the ESBB;

in respect of the fund representing the Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the
ESBB and upon the conversion of the B Ordinary Shares to Ordinary Shares,
Triple Point will receive investment management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to
1.5% per annum of that fund's NAV up to 30 April 2018 and thereafter 1% of any
amounts returned to holders of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the ESBB;

in respect of the A Ordinary Share Fund, Triple Point will receive investment
management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to 1.5% per annum of the A Ordinary
Share Fund's NAV up to 30 April 2017 and thereafter 1% of any amounts
returned to holders of A Ordinary Shares;

in respect of the C Ordinary Share
Fund, investment management fees
(exclusive of VAT) equal to 2.0% per annum of the C Ordinary Share Fund's
NAV, payable quarterly in arrear;

in respect of the C Ordinary Share Fund, a performance incentive fee based
upon returns to holders of C Ordinary Shares. The amount of the performance
incentive fee payable is based on the payment of dividends to holders of C
Ordinary Shares. To the extent that, on the payment of any dividend to holders of
C Ordinary Shares, the total of all dividends per C Ordinary Share made to
holders of C Ordinary Shares (including the current dividend being paid) exceeds
the hurdle (being at the time of any payment of a dividend to holders of C
Ordinary Shares the higher of (i) 100 pence per C Ordinary Share or (ii) the total
of all dividends per C Ordinary Share made to holders of C Ordinary Shares prior
to the dividend), Triple Point will be entitled to receive a sum equal to 20% of the
excess over the hurdle
Triple Point also provides certain administrative services to the Company until
termination of the IMA for an annual fee of 0.25% of the Company's NAV and for an
annual fee of £7,500 plus VAT at the relevant rate acts as company secretary. All fees
are payable quarterly in arrear.
Triple Point has agreed to indemnify the Company to the extent that the annual running
costs excluding VAT of the Company exceed 3.5% of the Company's NAV.
The IMA is terminable on 12 months' notice given at any time after the tenth anniversary
of the admission of the C Ordinary Shares to the Official List.
Supplemental agreement varying the IMA pursuant to the Offer

in respect of the Hydro 2 Share Fund, Triple Point will receive investment
management fees (exclusive of VAT) equal to 2.0% per annum of the Hydro 2
Share Fund's NAV, payable quarterly in arrear;

Triple Point's appointment under the IMA will continue for at least 5 years
following the Admission and thereafter will terminate on 12 months' notice by
either party subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances;

Triple Point will be entitled to receive a Performance Incentive Fee based upon
returns to holders of Hydro 2 Shares. The amount of the Performance Incentive
Fee payable is based on distributions made to holders of Hydro 2 Shares. To the
extent that, on any distribution made to holders of Hydro 2 Shares, the total of all
distributions per Hydro 2 Share made to holders of Hydro 2 Shares (including the
distribution in question being made) exceeds a hurdle, being at the time of any
distribution to holders of Hydro 2 Shares the higher of (i) 100 pence per Hydro 2
Share and (ii) the total of all distributions per Hydro 2 Share made to holders of
Hydro 2 Shares prior to that distribution (the "Hurdle"), Triple Point will be entitled
to receive a sum equal to 20% of the excess over the Hurdle; and

The Company will pay to Triple Point a single fee equal to the aggregate of (i)
2.5% of the aggregate value of accepted applications for Hydro 2 Shares and (ii)
the upfront commission paid to Execution Only Brokers and (iii) the upfront
commission paid to those advising professional investors in respect of
subscriptions under the Offer. From this sum, Triple Point will discharge all
external costs, and its own costs, in respect of the Offer. Triple Point has agreed

Section D: Risks

Element Disclosure
requirement
Disclosure
D.1 Key information
on the key risks
specific to the
issuer or its
industry
The key risk factors relating to the Company or its industry are:

The Company will be subject to risks associated with hydro-electric power
projects, which may adversely affect expected returns, including lower or
more variable precipitation, increasing severity of weather and/or climate
change, blocking of the intake structure that controls water flow or of the
enclosed pipe that delivers water to hydraulic turbines by foreign or other
matter, turbine or other mechanical/electrical malfunctions, lower than
projected generator efficiency, higher than projected generator downtime,
increased operational costs, lack of availability of power purchase
agreements, and counterparty risk with grid connection providers.

Annual energy output may fluctuate and as such annual revenue may
experience volatility. This may influence the availability of dividends that
can be paid out to investors.

A vote for Scottish independence in any future referendum could lead to
new renewable energy policies or legislation and to a division of the UK
electricity market and could have an adverse impact on the companies in
which the Company invests.

A retrospective reduction in or abolition of Feed-in Tariffs (an index-linked
payment from an electricity company for every kilowatt hour generated
and an additional index-linked payment for every kilowatt hour exported to
the wider energy market) would reduce investment returns.

A change of Government or a change in Government policy could have an
adverse effect upon electricity prices and thus revenues generated.

Changes in interest rates or changes in the terms offered by senior
lenders in financing hydro-electric power projects may negatively impact
expected returns.

There is no guarantee that the Investment Management Team will source
sufficient deal flow of operational or fully consented hydro-electric power
projects.
D.3 Key information
on the key risks
specific to the
securities
The key risk factors relating to the Shares are:

The value of Shares may fall below the original amount invested, their
market price may not fully reflect the underlying Net Asset Value and
dividends may not be paid.

There is likely to be an illiquid market in the Shares with investors finding it
difficult to realise their investment.

Section E: Offer

Element Disclosure

E.1 Net proceeds
and costs of the
Issue
The costs and expenses relating to the Offer (assuming a full subscription of
£10,000,000 and an increase in the size of the Offer at the discretion of the
Directors of a further £10,000,000 and that the issue costs per Hydro 2 Share are
5.5%, payable by the Company) are £1,100,000 (excluding VAT), capped at 5.5%
excluding VAT of the proceeds of the Offer before initial charges. The costs and
expenses relating to the Offer if the Minimum Net Proceeds are raised, assuming
that the issue costs per Hydro 2 Share are 5.5%, payable by the Company are
£116,403 (excluding VAT if applicable).
Investors will indirectly bear the costs of the Offer in which they participate
through the application of the Hydro 2 Share Price Calculation which determines
the price per Hydro 2 Share and includes an allowance for issue costs of 5.5% or
such lower percentage as may be agreed by the Board and the Manager to
reflect a reduction in the issue costs.
The total net proceeds of the Offer, after all fees, are £18,900,000 (assuming a
full subscription of £10,000,000 and an increase in the size of the Offer at the
discretion of the Directors of a further £10,000,000 and that the issue costs per
Hydro 2 Share are 5.5%). The Minimum Net Proceeds will be £2,000,000.
E.2a Reason for the
Offer, use of
proceeds and
estimated net
amount of
proceeds
The reason for the Offer is to increase the Company's NAV, thereby reducing the
impact of its operating costs on Shareholders and to take advantage of Triple
Point's strong pipeline of Qualifying Investment opportunities. A minimum of 70%
of the proceeds of the Offer will be used to acquire (and subsequently maintain) a
portfolio of Qualifying Investments in the hydro-electric power sector, or in any
other sectors, including sectors that are unrelated to hydro-electric power, where
investments can be structured to meet the Company's investment criteria, over a
period not exceeding three years.
Pending investment in Hydro 2 Share Fund Qualifying Investments, the Hydro 2
Share Fund will consist of cash, cash-based similar liquid investments and
investments of a similar profile to the Company's Qualifying Investments, with an
expected realisation date which meets the cash requirements of the Company.
The total net proceeds of the Offer, after all fees, are £18,900,000 (assuming a
full subscription of £20,000,000 and that the issue costs per Hydro 2 Share are
5.5%).
E.3 Terms and The Hydro 2 Shares are offered at an offer price determined as follows:
conditions of the
Offer
Price per Hydro 2 Share = (A) / [ (A) + (B) – (C) – (D) – (E) ]
Where: (A) is the NAV per Hydro 2 Share, which for the purpose of the first
allotment under the Offer shall be deemed to be 100 pence per Hydro 2
Share;
(B) in respect of the 2014/2015 Offer, is the percentage of 2014/2015
Bonus Shares to be allotted multiplied by NAV per Hydro 2 Share or, in
respect of the 2015/2016 Offer, is the percentage of 2015/2016 Bonus
Shares to be allotted multiplied by NAV per Hydro 2 Share;
(C) is the upfront fee payable to Triple Point;
(D) is the initial adviser charge (if any) agreed between the intermediary
and the investor; and
(E) is the initial commission (if any) payable to the intermediary.
The price per Hydro 2 Share (calculated in accordance with the formula above)
will be rounded to the nearest 0.001 pence.
The number of Hydro 2 Shares to be allotted is then determined as follows:
Element Disclosure Disclosure
requirement
Number of Hydro 2 Shares to be allotted = amount subscribed under the Offer /
price per Hydro 2 Share.
The number of Hydro 2 Shares to be allotted will be rounded down to the nearest
whole Share.
In order to encourage early investment, for the first £5,000,000 of subscription
monies received under the 2014/2015 Offer, a 2% Share bonus will apply to
completed applications received and accepted by 16 January 2015 for allotment
in the 2014/2015 tax year, a 1% Share bonus to completed applications received
and accepted between 17 January 2015 and 27 February 2015 for allotment in
the 2014/2015 tax year and for the first £1,000,000 of subscription monies, a 2%
Share bonus will apply to completed applications received and accepted under
the 2015/2016 Offer by 30 April 2015. Up to £10,000,000 by issue of Hydro 2
Shares is being made available under the Offer. If the Offer is oversubscribed,
the Offer may be increased at the discretion of the Directors by up to a further
£10,000,000 by issue of Hydro 2 Shares. The Offer is conditional upon the
Minimum Net Proceeds being raised prior to 12 noon on 3 April 2015 and upon
the passing of Resolutions 1 to 5 at the General Meeting.
E.4 Material interests Not applicable. No interest is material to the Offer.
E.5 Name of person
selling securities
Not applicable. No person or entity is offering to sell the security as part of the
Offer and there are no lock-up agreements.
E.6 Dilution Not applicable. The Hydro 2 Shares are a new class of security.
E.7 Expenses
charged to the
investor
Capital raising costs
The Company will pay to Triple Point an initial charge of (i) 2.5% of the gross sum
invested under the Offer on all subscriptions, (ii) the upfront commission paid to
Execution Only Brokers and (iii) the upfront commission paid to those advising
professional investors in respect of subscriptions under the Offer. The costs of
the Offer will be borne solely by the Hydro 2 Share Fund. From this sum, Triple
Point will discharge all external costs of advice and its own costs in respect of the
Offer. Triple Point has agreed to indemnify the Company against the costs of the
Offer excluding VAT exceeding 5.5%.
Commission may be payable by the Company to intermediaries, determined by
the circumstances of each investor and their agreements with financial
intermediaries.
Adviser charges
Commission is generally not permitted to be paid to intermediaries who provide a
personal recommendation to retail clients on investments in VCTs after 30
December 2012. Instead, an adviser charge will usually be agreed between the
intermediary and investor for the advice and related services. This charge can
either be paid directly by the investor to the intermediary or, if it is an initial one
off charge, the payment of such charge may be facilitated by the Company,
provided that such facilitated charge does not exceed 3%, out of the investor's
funds received by the Company. If an investor agrees to pay the adviser more
than 3%, the excess will have to be settled by the investor directly with the
adviser. On-going charges payable to intermediaries will not be facilitated by the
Company. If the payment of the adviser charge is to be facilitated by the
Company, then the investor is required to specify the amount of the charge in the
Application Form. The investor will be issued fewer Hydro 2 Shares to the
equivalent value of the adviser charge. The adviser charge is inclusive of VAT,
where applicable.
Element Disclosure
requirement
Disclosure
Commission
Commission may be payable where there is an execution-only transaction and no
advice has been provided by the intermediary to the investor or a commission of
up to 3% where the intermediary has demonstrated to Triple Point that the
investor is a professional client of the intermediary. Commission is payable by
Triple Point out of its initial charge. Those intermediaries who are permitted to
receive commission will usually receive an initial commission of up to 3% of the
amount invested by their clients under the Offer. Additionally, provided that the
intermediary continues to act for the investor and the investor continues to be the
beneficial owner of the Hydro 2 Shares, and subject to applicable laws and
regulations, the intermediary will usually be paid an annual trail commission of up
to 0.50% of each relevant investor's holding in the Hydro 2 Share Fund, and
which will be paid out of the investment management fees payable to Triple Point
in respect of the Hydro 2 Share Fund.
Investors will receive Hydro 2 Shares in respect of the gross value of their
subscription proceeds prior to any deduction on account of the above expenses.
