Business and financial review 
 
Overview 
 
Net assets per share decreased by 4.3% or 7p per share during the six months to 
30th June 2017 to 156p (31st December 2016: 163p).  The overall reduction in 
NAV reflects the benefit of a small foreign currency gain offset by financing 
and administration costs.  The portfolio returned a small net gain, with a 
realised gain on the disposal of Parques Reunidos ("Parques"), offsetting an 
unrealised loss. 
 
The positive effect of a series of realisations has seen net debt move from GBP 
13.7 million at the year end to a net cash position of GBP1.7 million at 30th 
June 2017. 
 
The first half of the year has seen a high level of realisation activity. 
 
In early January, a further partial realisation of the investment in Parques 
was announced following the first partial realisation completed at the time of 
the initial public offering of Parques in April 2016. This disposal saw the 
Company sell 26% of its interest in Parques for cash proceeds of EUR9.9 million 
(GBP8.4 million). 
 
Candover also announced in January the realisation of its remaining investment 
in Technogym S.p.A ("Technogym").  The realisation, which followed the partial 
realisation completed at the time of the initial public offering of Technogym 
in April 2016, generated cash proceeds of EUR9.5 million (GBP8.3 million). 
 
The disposal of Candover's interest in Hilding Anders for EUR1.9 million (GBP1.6 
million) was also executed at the end of the half year, with proceeds received 
prior to the end of July. 
 
Following the termination of the Candover 2005 and 2008 Funds at the end of the 
March 2017, Arle Capital Partners Limited ("Arle") no longer acts as the 
Company's investment manager. Candover is now self-managing its remaining 
investments, including the 2.4% direct interest in Parques which the Company 
received as a distribution in specie when the 2005 Fund terminated. 
 
The Board has continued to look at the timing and options for the disposal of 
the Parques investment, the potential distribution of value to shareholders and 
reducing the cost of managing through this phase of the run-off process. We 
continue to explore whether Candover's accumulated income tax losses, in any 
way, constitute a future realisable asset, and expect to conclude on the review 
in the coming months. 
 
Net asset value per share 
 
In the six months to 30th June 2017, net assets per share decreased by 4.3% 
from 163p to 156p. The decrease of 7p per share comprised favourable currency 
movements (3p), the impact of financing costs (5p) together with management 
fees and general administration costs (5p).

Portfolio update and investments 
 
The valuation of investments at 30th June 2017 was GBP30.9 million compared to GBP 
46.7 million at the start of the year. The reduction reflects the disposal of 
Technogym and a further partial realisation of Parques which generated combined 
cash proceeds of GBP16.7 million.

4   The unrealised revaluation movement on Parques is offset by a GBP6.1 million 
realised revenue gain 
 
 
Over the course of the first nine months to 30th June 2017, Parques has traded 
favourably.  On 28th July 2017, it reported Q3 results which saw revenues grow 
4% on a like-for-like basis, whilst EBITDA was up 64%.The critical summer 
trading period for the business is the last quarter to 30th September, during 
which approximately 60% of its annual revenues and the majority of its profits 
are generated. 
 
 
 
Hilding Anders was realised during the period, in line with the 30th June 2017 
valuation, with receipt of proceeds of EUR1.9 million occurring in July 2017. The 
Stork value reflects the current estimated proceeds due to Candover from a 
legacy escrow arrangement related to the sale of Fokker in 2015. 
 
Expro continues to face challenging trading conditions with earnings continuing 
to fall.  As a consequence, the investment was fully written down at 30th June 
2017. 
 
Valuations of the retained portfolio decreased for the period by GBP7.4 million, 
before currency effects, representing a decrease of 19.7% in the value of these 
investments since 31st December 2016.  After including GBP0.8 million of 
favourable foreign currency movements, the valuation of the retained portfolio 
reduced by GBP6.6 million (17.6%). 
 
The unrealised loss of GBP6.2 million in relation to Parques offsets the realised 
revenue gain of GBP6.1 million recognised in the period.  This was as a result of 
the reallocation of value in the investment instruments prior to the 
distribution in specie occurring. 
 
Net cash/(debt) position 
 
Candover's net cash was GBP1.7 million as at 30th June 2017 compared to net debt 
of GBP13.7 million as at 31st December 2016. This reflects the cash inflow from 
realisations of GBP16.7 million offset by the impact of interest accrued on 
borrowings, operating expenses and adverse foreign currency movements in the 
period. 
 
At the end of March 2017, Candover fully repaid its remaining debt from surplus 
cash balances which had increased as a result of realisations completed in the 
early part of the year. After discussion with its debt provider, the 
anticipated cost of repayment was reduced by EUR918,000 (GBP795,000). 
 
Following the end of the half year, realisation proceeds and dividends 
totalling GBP2 million were received.

Profit before and after tax 
 
Net revenue profit before tax and exceptional non-recurring costs for the 
period was GBP4.5 million compared to a loss of GBP3.0 million in the comparable 
period. 
 
Including capital costs of GBP0.7 million (2016: GBP2.5 million), total 
administrative and finance costs in the period were GBP2.3 million (2016: GBP5.6 
million).  This included GBP0.2 million (2016: GBP0.6 million) of management fees 
payable to Arle, linked to the value of investments managed, and GBP1.2 million 
of financing costs (2016: GBP4.4 million).  The reduction in financing costs 
reflected the benefit of repaying the debt facility in two tranches over the 
course of the last twelve months. 
 
Board 
 
Board changes were announced at the time of the preliminary results in February 
2017 and took effect from the Annual General Meeting on 23rd May 2017. 
 
Dividend 
 
The Board is not recommending a dividend payment. 
 
Outlook 
 
Progress over the first half of the year has significantly changed the 
financial position of Candover, with realisation proceeds enabling the full 
repayment of our debt and leaving the Company with net cash. We are now moving 
towards the final stages of the full realisation of Candover's legacy 
investment portfolio, with the disposal options for Parques under review. We 
continue to explore whether Candover's accumulated income tax losses, in any 
way, constitute a future realisable asset, and expect to conclude on the review 
in the coming months. 
 
 
 
 
Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
Details of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group were set out 
in the Risk review on pages 5 to 7 of the 2016 Report and Accounts, a copy of 
which is available on our website (www.candoverinvestments.com). 
 
The principal risks and uncertainties identified in the 2016 Report and 
Accounts, and the policies and procedures for minimising these risks and 
uncertainties, remain unchanged and each of them has the potential to affect 
the Group's results during the remainder of 2017. Our views on the current 
market conditions are reflected in the Business and financial review. 
 
Statement of Directors' responsibilities 
 
The Directors of Candover Investments plc confirm that, to the best of their 
knowledge, the condensed set of financial statements in this interim report 
have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 
'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU, and give a fair view of the 
assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of Candover

Independent review report to the members of  Candover Investments plc 
 
Introduction 
 
We have reviewed the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly 
financial report of Candover Investments plc for the six months ended 30 June 
2017 which comprises the Group statement of comprehensive income, the Group 
statement of changes in equity, the Group statement of financial position, the 
Group cash flow statement, and the related explanatory notes. We have read the 
other information contained in the half-yearly financial report which comprises 
only the Business and financial review, the Principal risks and uncertainties 
and the Statement of directors' responsibilities 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's members, as a body, 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'. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to 
the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an 
independent review 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 and the company's members as a body, for our review work, for 
this report, or for the conclusion we have formed. 
 
Directors' responsibilities 
 
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been 
approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the 
half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency 
Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. 
 
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the Group are 
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements 
included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance 
with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as 
adopted by the European Union. 
 
Our responsibility 
 
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed set of financial 
statements in the half-yearly financial 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'. 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 
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. 
 
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 
financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2017 is not prepared, in all 
material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 
'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the 
Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct 
Authority.

Notes to the financial statements 
 
for the period ended 30th June 2017 
 
Note 1 General information 
 
Candover Investments plc is a private equity investment trust listed on the 
London Stock Exchange, registered and incorporated in England and Wales. The 
consolidated financial statements, which are made up to the Statement of 
financial position date, incorporate the Financial statements of Candover 
Investments plc and Candover Services Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary. 
 
This condensed consolidated half-year financial information does not comprise 
statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. 
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31st December 2016 were approved on 4th 
April 2017. Those accounts, which contained an unqualified audit report under 
Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006 and which did not make any statements 
under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the 
Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 
2006. 
 
Note 2 Basis of preparation 
 
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements ("the interim financial 
statements") incorporate the Financial statements for the six months ended 30th 
June 2017 and are presented in Sterling which is the functional currency of the 
parent company. The accounting policies and presentation used in the 
preparation of this report are consistent with the consolidated financial 
statements for the year ended 31st December 2016. They have been prepared in 
accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' (IAS 34). They do not 
include all of the information required in annual financial statements in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and 
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended 31st December 2016. 
 
Under the UK Corporate Governance Code dated September 2014 and applicable 
regulations and guidance, including the FRC's 'Going Concern and Liquidity 
Risk: Guidance for Directors of UK Companies 2009', the Directors are required 
to satisfy themselves that it is reasonable to presume that the Company is a 
going concern. Candover's business activities, together with the factors likely 
to affect its future development, performance and position, are set out in the 
Business and financial review on pages 2 to 5. The financial position of 
Candover, its cash flows and liquidity position are described in the business 
and financial review on pages 4 to 5. The Directors have a reasonable 
expectation that Candover and the Group have adequate resources to continue as 
a going concern for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to 
adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements as 
at 30th June 2017. 
 
Note 3 Estimates 
 
When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number 
of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of 
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from 
the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom 
equal the estimated results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied 
in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation 
uncertainty, were consistent with those applied in the Group's last annual 
financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2016.

Note 6 Fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures 
 
IFRS 13 requires a company to classify fair value measurements using a fair 
value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the 
measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: 
 
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or 
liabilities. 
 
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are 
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or 
indirectly (that is, derived from prices including interest rates, yield 
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates) or 
other market corroborated inputs. 
 
 
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable 
market data (that is unobservable inputs). 
 
The table below sets out fair value hierarchy under the IFRS 7 fair value 
disclosures and IFRS 13 fair value measurement:
