Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report the results of JZ Capital Partners Limited ("JZCP" or the "Company") for the six-month period ended 31 August 2013.

Performance

It has been another steady performance from the underlying portfolio during the first six months of the year, a period that has been characterised by continued economic uncertainty amidst early signs of recovery in the US and Eurozone.

Central bank stimulus programmes heralded a strong rally during the first two months of the year as investors increased their appetite for risk. However, the strong gains in equity markets were partially offset by increased volatility in Europe due to the expected tapering of these programmes and the continued weakness of European economies.

However, the nascent recovery in the US has been reflected in the more steady performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and equity markets across Europe have also held steady as the Eurozone emerged from an 18 month recession during the second quarter.

Against this uneven economic background, the underlying investments in the core portfolio performed well. The Company's NAV grew 1.9% from US$9.69 to US$9.87 at the end of the period and total NAV return (NAV appreciation and reinvested dividends) rose 3.4%. This marks the 17^th quarter of positive NAV growth out of the last 18 quarterly periods. The Company continues to provide solid long-term shareholder return performance of 78.5% over the three years to 31 August 2013, compared to 57.4% from the Russell 1000 and 22.7% from the FTSE 100.

Portfolio Update

Following the heightened level of investment activity during the second half of last year, JZAI, our Investment Adviser and Manager, has focused on improving the performance and operational efficiency of existing assets in the core US micro cap portfolio. This has been complemented by three investments in the European micro cap portfolio and a small number of realizations.

Micro cap investments remain the Company's strategic focus. Micro cap acquisitions and investments during the period totalled US$25.6 million and at the end of the period the core portfolio comprised 38 companies operating in six industries.

The Board is pleased that during the period both private investments and the quoted values of its listed investments have increased in the US and Europe. While the value of our private investments rose 1%, the largest contribution to NAV growth came from Factor Energia, the Spanish energy reseller, which contributed 14 cents per share. The gains of this company and others were partially offset by decreases across a small number of portfolio businesses including Xacom, the telecoms provider (4 cents).

The Company's NAV growth is testament to the portfolio's increased geographical diversification. European investments now constitute 18.5% of investments and now include six companies in Spain which are operating well despite the country's difficult economic conditions. During the period, the Company acquired 52.5% in One World Packaging, a Spanish manufacturer of pulp-based biodegradable food trays.

The Board was also pleased that JZCP extended the focus of the European portfolio to the UK with a co-investment in Winn Group, a successful UK legal services firm and claims management business, and to Germany with an investment in Fidor Bank AG, an innovative and fast growing online German bank. The Company continues to explore attractive investment opportunities in Europe through its investment in the EuroMicrocap Fund.

JZCP has also continued its strategy of investing in retail and residential property interests in New York to create additional value for shareholders. The Company invested US$22.5 million in the acquisition of four additional retail and residential properties in rapidly growing districts to bring the total number of properties in the portfolio to seven. In addition to capital appreciation, the projected long-term cash flows generated by this portfolio will help support our dividend policy, which is to distribute an amount equal to 3 per cent of NAV, annually.

The Company's only gearing is through its zero dividend preference shares. The Board will from 2014 have the Company's portfolio managed to ensure there is sufficient cash available to repay the ZDPS in absence of any other refinancing proposal prior to the June 2016 redemption date. To help with this, a modest proportion of the portfolio is already invested in gilts.

Distributions

In accordance with our stated policy to distribute annually an amount equal to 3 per cent of NAV, the Directors have declared an Interim Dividend of 14.5 cents per share for the six months ended 31 August 2013, compared to 14.0 cents for the period ended 31 August 2012. This implies an annualised yield as at 31 August 2013 of 3.95%.

Board

On behalf of all of the JZCP's Directors, I look forward to welcoming Chris Waldron, who we have invited to join the Board as a non-executive director.

Outlook

I am pleased with the progress the Company has made during the first half of the year amid the challenging economic environment. The Board is encouraged by the healthy pipeline of attractive investments and the potential for significant value creation through improving the operational efficiency of the US portfolio. The Board believes the Company is well positioned to use its large cash reserves to take advantage of opportunities to acquire high quality companies at reasonable prices in both the US and Europe.

Investment Adviser's Report

Dear Fellow Shareholders

JZCP had an active investment period for the six months ending 31 August 2013, investing US$72.6 million, while realizing US$69.3million though the sale of a US micro cap business, and the refinancing of securities and mezzanine investments.

Even after deducting a 15 cent dividend, our NAV continued to grow and increased 1.9% from US$9.69 on 28 February 2013 to US$9.87 on 31 August 2013. The total NAV return (NAV appreciation and reinvested dividends) was 3.4% for the six months. We are pleased to report that JZCP has provided consistent NAV growth for 17 out of the past 18 quarters.

JZCP's financial position remains strong. Our liquidity (cash on hand) as of 31 August 2013 was US$79.3 million or 12% of our NAV. In addition we have US$152.1 million of publicly traded securities, government securities, equities and bank debt on our balance sheet which is 24% of NAV. We have no outstanding debt and our only long term obligations are our Zero Dividend Preference shares which accrete to US$122.5 million due in June 2016.

Our micro cap portfolio is valued at 7.1x EBITDA after a 26% marketability discount. The underlying leverage senior to JZCP's position in our US micro cap portfolio grew slightly to 2.0x EBITDA, as we financed US$25.2 million of debt for our ISS (Industrial Solutions) vertical by refinancing JZCP's investment with a senior credit facility. Our European microcap portfolio is levered under 2.0x EBITDA.

As many of you know, one of the tenets of our investment strategy is to pay reasonable entry prices for our investments. The average purchase price for the US micro cap portfolio is 5.9x EBITDA, while the cash multiples paid for the European portfolio was 3.5x. Six of the eight European companies are in Spain; we expect outsized returns from these businesses to more than compensate for the increased risk in investing in a distressed economy of a major industrialized country.

Our NAV growth continues to be driven by our diversified micro cap portfolio. In the U.S., we currently have 31 businesses across six different business sectors. The addition of three microcap acquisitions in Europe brings the total to eight diverse businesses in Spain, Germany, and the U.K. In addition, the principles of our investment strategy have been applied to building a real estate portfolio of residential and retail properties in the US. We are backing an experienced team to buy and redevelop properties in up-and-coming neighborhoods in Brooklyn, NY; early indications are that this portfolio will significantly contribute to NAV growth in the future.

Please remember that due to realizations in 2010-2012, 72% of our portfolio is less than three years old, while we have held only 8% for 3 - 5 years.

NAV Growth

For the six months ending 31 August 2013, JZCP's net assets increased from US$9.69 per share to US$10.02, a 3.4% increase (before the 15 cent dividend paid in the period). The chart below shows the source of this change:

Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share as of 28 February 2013		US$9.69
- Change in Private Investments		0.14
+ Change in Public Investments		0.06
+ Income from Investments		0.30
+ Escrows Received		0.02
- ZDP Dividend Accrual		(0.05)
- Fees and Expenses		(0.12)
+/- Other		(0.02)
Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share (Before Dividends)		US$10.02
- Dividends Paid		(0.15)
Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share as of 31 August 2013		US$9.87

The 14 cent increase in the Private Investments is primarily due to increases in earnings in Factor Energia, our Spanish energy reseller (14 cents), Milestone Aviation, the helicopter leasing business (7 cents), Nationwide studios, the pre-school photography company (4 cents), and the increase in value of the first real estate property we purchased in early 2012 (3 cents). In addition, NAV growth was aided by Grupo Ombuds, the Spanish personal security and facilities management business (2 cents), and Salter Laboratories, our disposable respiratory products business (2 cents).

These increases were offset by a 4 cent decrease in the NAV of Xacom, the Spanish telecom products business, as sales of new products have proved slower than expected. We wrote down MEDS our healthcare eligibility company by 3 cents as the business has been harder to manage than planned. Medicare's recently announced 41% decrease in the price of power wheelchairs has forced our power "legacy" wheelchair company, Hoveround, to once again retool, requiring a writedown of 4 cents. Finally, the value of one of compressor entities in our ISS (Industrial Services) vertical was reduced by 3 cents as a combination of management issues and a move to purchasing supplies on the internet has hurt margins.

A positive movement in Safety Insurance, our publicly-traded company, accounted primarily for the 6 cents increase in our Public Investments.

Returns

The chart below summarizes the NAV and total shareholder returns over the last three months, year and three years.

	As of 31/8/2013	Since 31/5/2013	Since 28/2/2013	Since 31/8/2012	Since 31/8/2010

Despite our conservatively valued portfolio, the market continues to undervalue our assets, a recurring trend across much of the listed private equity sector.

Portfolio Summary

(US$000's, except for number of investments)

US Micro Cap Portfolio

Following a very active investment period prior to this period, we have focused the past six months on ensuring the US microcap portfolio investments are running as effectively as possible. In our five verticals, for example, we added a significant amount of expenses and have spent a lot of time upgrading management, expanding sales forces and enhancing systems to position these businesses for their anticipated growth.

In March 2013 we sold Horsburgh and Scott, one of our US micro cap investments that makes large diameter gears which we acquired in November 2007. Over time, we realized US$38.6 million on our US$21.8 million investment, for a 1.8x multiple of capital invested and a 13% IRR. Given that we had been writing this investment up over time, there was a negligible effect on NAV.

We also refinanced US$26.4 million of JZCP-held investments in our ISS (Industrial Services) vertical with a senior debt facility. ISS's underlying businesses has experienced sufficient earnings growth, organically and through strategic acquisitions to achieve this partial realization.

European Investments

During the six months ending 31 August 2013 we added three new European micro cap investments which brings our total European portfolio to eight businesses. Please note that the descriptions below are for the entire Euro Micro Cap 2010, LP (EMC). JZCP owns 75% of EMC.

One World Packaging is a Spanish business which manufactures disposable trays for the food service industry in Europe. Its proprietary product is unique in that outperforms plastic and is biodegradable. The Company plans to sell to large food manufacturers and distributors in European countries which value the environmentally sound and sustainable nature of its products. EMC purchased 70% of One World for €5.0m in April 2013 and will support the company's development.

EMC has co-invested £9.5 million to acquire 36% of the Winn Group, a successful UK legal services firm specializing in personal injury cases and claims management. It also provides replacement car hire, credit repair advice and medical treatment services. The Winn Group was founded in 2002 and employs nearly 300 people in Newcastle. The Winn Group is well positioned to benefit from the rapid consolidation of the personal injury sector in the UK due to its efficient business model. EMC's investment will further enhance its strong growth trajectory. The Winn Group generated revenues of £40 million in the year to 31 March 2013.

EMC has also invested €7.7 million to acquire 25.2% of Fidor Bank AG, an innovative and fast growing online German bank. It was founded in 2003 and is one of the only banks in Europe to allow customers to transfer money through social media. It also provides deposit and savings accounts, foreign exchange transactions, a credit card and crowdfunding, which enables small businesses to secure finance from individual lenders. The bank's deposits in the year to 31 March 2013 have almost doubled and EMC's investment and experience will help Fidor Bank to expand globally. Fidor Bank currently has 200,000 customers and is listed on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Other Assets

Our mezzanine portfolio continues to be realized, with the refinancing of US$7.9 million of HAAS TMC subordinated debt, at par. We are still holding PETCO stock that was a yield enhancement to a mezzanine investment, the debt of which was paid off.

JZCP's real estate portfolio has grown considerably with the purchase of financial interests in four new properties in up-and-coming sections of Brooklyn, New York. We now own interests in seven properties in Brooklyn, via our investment in JZCP Realty. Our real estate partner is RedSky Capital, an experienced team who invests, develops and operates properties in increasingly sought after areas of Brooklyn.All of these locations have several things in common. We bought these properties in neighborhoods with strong demographics for what we believe are very reasonable prices. They have the potential to create significant value following redevelopment and retenanting.

The first is essentially a square block on Bedford Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn which is a major retail area. JZCP's investment for this property was US$14.9 million. This is both a retail and residential property and has begun to sign leases with new tenants. Construction will begin shortly on its renovation.

JZCP also invested US$3.5 million in a freestanding building just across the street from the new Barclays Center and a major railroad terminal. This will be a retail property leased by one tenant, most likely sports related.

The third investment is on the Fulton Mall, the third most trafficked retail street in New York City. JZCP invested US$14.5 million for three buildings which will be combined when fully developed into a retail and residential building.

JZCP invested $14.3 million in three properties on Flatbush Avenue, for both retail and residential use. Near the Barclays Center, these properties are well situated to take advantage of the influx of higher-end shoppers and residents.

Finally, JZCP invested US$8.2 million for a property on Driggs Avenue, which is adjacent to our Bedford Street property. This will be a mixed use property and will take advantage of the influx of "Manhattanites" looking for better value than in Manhattan, yet with the energy and excitement of Williamsburg.

We also have deposits on several other Brooklyn properties under letter of intent and are proceeding with due diligence.

Balance Sheet

Below is a summary of our balance sheet:

(US$000's)	31/08/2013	28/2/2013

- Zero Dividend Preferred Shares	(95,156)	(89,839)
Net Asset Value	$641,661	$630,182

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

As an investment fund, our principal risks are those that are associated with our investment portfolio. Given the nature of the portfolio, the principal risks are associated with the financial and operating performance of the underlying investments, along with market risk associated with the publicly listed equities.

Outlook

We are value oriented investors and pursue opportunities where we can invest at below market multiples. Our returns are a combination of growth in the underlying business and the multiple expansions on exit - that has been the case historically and we think will continue to be what drives our NAV.

We believe JZCP's strong balance sheet will enable us to take advantage of investment opportunities. We have a robust pipeline and look forward to the second half of this fiscal year, putting your (and our) money to work in a diverse portfolio of reasonably priced assets.

As always, thank you for your confidence in our investment strategy. Please feel free to contact us with any ideas that might be beneficial to JZCP.

Yours faithfully,

Valuation Policy

Principles of valuation

In valuing investments in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the Directors follow a number of general principles as detailed in the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Association ("IPEVCA") guidelines.

Investments are valued according to one of the following methods:

i)	Mezzanine loans
	Investments are generally valued at amortised cost except where there is deemed to be impairment in value which indicates that a provision should be made. Mezzanine loans are classified in the Statement of Financial Position as loans and receivables and are accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method less accumulated impairment allowances in accordance with IFRS.


	The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as loans and receivables is impaired. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the net present value of expected cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

ii)	Unquoted preferred shares, micro cap loans, unquoted equities and equity related securities

	Unquoted preferred shares, micro cap loans, unquoted equities and equity related securities investments are classified in the Statement of Financial Position as Investments at fair value through profit or loss. These investments are typically valued by reference to their enterprise value, which is generally calculated by applying an appropriate multiple to the last twelve months' earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA"). In determining the multiple, the Directors consider inter alia, where practical, the multiples used in recent transactions in comparable unquoted companies, previous valuation multiples used and where appropriate, multiples of comparable publicly traded companies. In accordance with IPEVCA guidelines, a marketability discount is applied which reflects the discount that in the opinion of the Directors, market participants would apply in a transaction in the investment in question.

	In respect of unquoted preferred shares and micro cap loans the Company values these investments by reference to the attributable enterprise value as the exit strategy in respect to these investments would be a one tranche disposal together with the equity component. The fair value of the investment is determined by reference to the attributable enterprise value (this is calculated by a multiple of EBITDA reduced by senior debt and marketability discount) covering the aggregate of the unquoted equity, unquoted preferred shares and debt instruments invested in the underlying company. The increase of the fair value of the aggregate investment is reflected through the unquoted equity component of the investment and a decrease in the fair value is reflected across all financial instruments invested in an underlying company.

(iii)	Traded loans
	Traded loans including first and second lien term securities are valued by reference to the last recent indicative bid price from recognised market makers. These investments are classified in the Statement of Financial Position as Investments at fair value through profit or loss.


(iv)	Listed investments
	Listed investments are valued at the last quoted bid price. These investments are classified in the Statement of Financial Position as Investments at fair value through profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. General Information

JZ Capital Partners Limited (the "Company") is a Guernsey domiciled closed-ended investment company which was incorporated in Guernsey on 14 April 2008 under The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 1994. The Company is now subject to The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. The Company's Share Capital consists of Ordinary shares and Zero Dividend Preference ("ZDP") shares. The Ordinary shares and ZDP shares were admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Specialist Fund Market ("SFM") and were admitted to listing on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange ("CISX") on 31 July 2012.

The Company was granted consent on 8 May 2008 by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission under The Control of Borrowing (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinance,1959 to raise up to £300,000,000 by the issue of shares.

The Company is classed as an authorised fund under The Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 1987.

The Company's corporate objective is to create a portfolio of investments in businesses primarily in the United States, providing a superior overall return comprised of a current yield and significant capital appreciation. The Company's present strategies include investments in micro cap buyouts, mezzanine loans (sometimes with equity participations) and high yield securities, senior secured debt and second lien loans, real estate and other debt and equity opportunities, including distressed debt and structured financings, derivatives and opportunistic purchase of publicly traded securities.

The Company has no direct employees. For its services the Investment Adviser receives a management fee and is also entitled to performance related fees (note 9). The Company has no ownership interest in the Investment Adviser. During the period under review the Company was administered by Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited. Prior to 1 September 2012 the Company was administered by Butterfield Fulcrum Group (Guernsey) Limited (note 9).

The financial statements are presented in US$'000 except where otherwise indicated.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been consistently applied during the period, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of Compliance

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the period 1 March 2013 to 31 August 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, together with applicable legal and regulatory requirements of Guernsey Law and the Listing Rules of the CISX and SFM. The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual report and audited financial statements at 28 February 2013.

Basis of Preparation

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost or amortised cost basis, modified by the revaluation of certain financial instruments designated at Fair value through Profit or Loss upon initial recognition. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with the accounting policies stated in note 2 of the annual financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2013, with the exception noted in the prior period presentation note below and for the adoption of the new standards and interpretations effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 which had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

- IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting (amendments) - (effective 1 January, 2013)

- IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement - (effective 1 January, 2013)

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures on fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure requirements, thereby affecting the Interim Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements. The Company provides these disclosures in Note 14.

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU, requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and JZCP Realty Fund, Ltd a Cayman Islands company. JZCP Realty Fund, Ltd was incorporated with the purpose of facilitating the purchase of the Company's real estate investments. The Company owns 100% of the share capital of JZCP Realty Fund, Ltd.

Prior Period Presentation

As stated above, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of JZCP Realty Fund, Ltd. In the previous financial reporting year, JZ Realty Fund, Ltd was accounted for as an investment at fair value through profit or loss on the Statement of Financial Position and movements in fair value were accounted for as net gains on investments at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Had JZCP Realty Fund, Ltd been accounted for on a consolidated basis, the following line items on the Statement of Comprehensive Income would have been affected:

US$000's

Investment income			297
Administrative expenses			(115)
Net gain on investments at fair value through profit or loss			182

In the opinion of the Directors there would have been no overall impact in the prior period financial statements.

4. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

Fair value of investments at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL")

Certain investments are classified as FVTPL, and valued accordingly, as disclosed in Note 2 of the annual financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2013 and the valuation policy. The key source of estimation uncertainty is on the valuation of unquoted equities and equity-related securities.

In reaching its valuation of the unquoted equities and equity-related securities the key judgements the Board have to make relate to the selection of the multiples and the discount factors used in the valuation models.

Loans and receivables

Certain investments are classified as Loans and Receivables, and valued accordingly, as disclosed in Note 2 of the annual financial statements for the year ending 28 February 2013 and the valuation policy. The key estimation is the impairment review and the key assumptions are as disclosed in Note 2.

Investment in associate

The policies applied in accounting for the Company's associate require significant judgement. Full details are disclosed in Note 2c of the annual statements for the year ended 28 February 2013.

Directors fees

The Chairman is entitled to a fee of US$140,000 per annum. Each of the other Directors are entitled to a fee of US$60,000 per annum. For the period ended 31 August 2013 total Directors' fees included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income were US$160,000 (period ended 31 August 2012: US$190,000), of this amount US$54,000 was outstanding at the period end (28 February 2013: US$62,000) and included within other payables.

Investment Advisory and Performance fees

The Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement with Jordan/Zalaznick Advisers, Inc (the "Investment Adviser") in May 2008 which was then amended and restated on 20 May 2009 and again on 23 December 2010 (the "Advisory Agreement").

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser is entitled to a base management fee and to an incentive fee. The base management fee is an amount equal to 1.5 per cent. per annum of the average total assets under management of the Company less those assets identified by the Company as being excluded from the base management fee, under the terms of the agreement. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears; the agreement provides that payments in advance on account of the base management fee will be made.

For the period 1 March 2013 to 31 August 2013, total investment advisory and management expenses, based on the average total assets of the Company, were included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income of US$5,574,000 (31 August 2012: US$5,323,000). Of this amount US$1,574,000 (28 February 2013: US$715,000) was outstanding at the period end and is included within Other Payables.

The incentive fee has two parts. The first part is calculated by reference to the net investment income of the Company ("Income Incentive fee") and is payable quarterly in arrears provided that the net investment income for the quarter exceeds 2 per cent of the average of the net asset value of the Company for that quarter (the "hurdle") (8 per cent. annualised). The fee is an amount equal to (a) 100 per cent of that proportion of the net investment income for the quarter as exceeds the hurdle, up to an amount equal to a hurdle of 2.5%, and (b) 20 per cent. of the net investment income of the Company above a hurdle of 2.5% in any quarter. Change in the valuation of income related (PIK) investments are also classed as an increase or decrease to investment income. Investments categorised as legacy investments and other assets identified by the Company as being excluded are excluded from the calculation of the fee. A true-up calculation is also prepared at the end of each financial year to determine if further fees are payable to the investment adviser or if any amounts are recoverable from future income incentive fees.

For the period ended 31 August 2013 there was no income incentive fee (31 August 2012: US$Nil).

The second part of the incentive fee is calculated by reference to the net realised capital gains ("Capital Gains Incentive fee") of the Company and is equal to: 20 per cent. of the realised capital gains of the Company for each financial year less all realised capital losses of the Company for the year less (b) the aggregate of all previous capital gains incentive fees paid by the Company to the Investment Adviser. The capital gains incentive is payable in arrears within 90 days of the fiscal year end. Investments categorised as legacy investments and assets of the Euro Microcap Fund 2010, LP are excluded from the calculation of the fee.

The Company provides for a capital gains incentive fee based on cumulative net realised and unrealised investments gains. For the period ended 31 August 2013 US$807,000 (31 August 2012: US$4,966,000) is payable to the Investment Advisor in relation to the capital gains incentive fee.

The Advisory agreement may be terminated by the Company or the Investment Advisor upon not less than two and one-half years' (i.e. 913 days') prior notice (or such lesser period as may be agreed by the Company and Investment Adviser).

Administration fees

Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited was appointed as Administrator to the Company on 1 September 2012. The Administrator is entitled to a fee payable quarterly in arrears. Fees payable to the Administrator are fixed for the three years from the date of appointment and are then subsequently subject to an annual fee review.

Auditors' remuneration

All of the auditors' remuneration relates to the annual audit and half year review report.

10.Taxation

For both 2013 and 2012 the Company applied for and was granted exempt status for Guernsey tax purposes under the terms of The Income Tax (Zero 10) (Guernsey) Law, 2007.

For the period ended 31 August 2013 the Company incurred withholding tax of US$426,000 (31 August 2012: US$644,000) on dividend income from listed investments.

Investment in associate

At 31 August 2013 the Company had one associate carrying on business which affects the profits and assets of the Company. The Company's associate consists solely of a limited partnership interest directly held in the Partnership.

The Company's share of the aggregated financial information of the equity accounted associate is set out below. The balance as at 31 August 2013 includes the share of results and net assets in the associate.

Total number of ZDP shares in issue	20,707,141	20,707,141

ZDP shares were issued on 22 June 2009 at a price of 215.80 pence and are designed to provide a pre-determined final capital entitlement of 369.84 pence on 22 June 2016 which ranks behind the Company's creditors but in priority to the capital entitlements of the Ordinary shares. The ZDP shares carry no entitlement to income and the whole of their return will therefore take the form of capital. The capital appreciation of approximately 8% per annum is calculated monthly. In certain circumstances, ZDP shares carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company as detailed in the Company's Memorandum of Articles and Incorporation. Issue costs are deducted from the cost of the liability and allocated to the statement of comprehensive income over the life of the ZDP shares.

On 3 July 2012 a shareholder resolution was passed which approved the conversion of all of the Limited Voting Ordinary ("LVO") shares into Ordinary shares on the basis that one LVO share would convert into one Ordinary share. A further resolution was passed approving the proposed transfer of the listing of the Ordinary shares to the London Stock Exchange's Specialist Fund Market ("SFM"). The move to this structure removes a structural inadequacy that had restricted the Company's ability to accommodate US investors and is more appropriate to the Company's mix of investors.

On 31 July 2012 the Company announced the cancellation of the listing of its Ordinary shares on the premium segment of the Official List and trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. Subsequently the Company's shares were admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Specialist Fund Market ("SFM").The Company also announced the admission to listing on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange ("CISX").

LVO shares were issued so that certain of the Company's existing Shareholders and certain new US investors could participate in the Ordinary Share Issue without causing the Company to be treated as a US domestic company for the purposes of US securities laws and/or a CFC for US tax purposes. LVO Shares were identical to, and ranked pari passu in all respects with, the New Ordinary shares except that the LVO Shares only carried a limited entitlement to vote in respect of the appointment or removal of Directors and did not carry any entitlement to vote in respect of certain other matters. The LVO shares were not listed and were not admitted to trade on or through the facilities of the London Stock Exchange.

The Ordinary shares carry a right to receive the profits of the Company available for distribution by dividend and resolved to be distributed by way of dividend to be made at such time as determined by the Directors.

In addition to receiving the income distributed, the Ordinary shares are entitled to the net assets of the Company on a winding up, after all liabilities have been settled and the entitlement of the ZDP shares have been met. In addition, holders of Ordinary shares will be entitled on a winding up to receive any accumulated but unpaid revenue reserves of the Company, subject to all creditors having been paid out in full but in priority to the entitlements of the ZDP shares. Any distribution of revenue reserves on a winding up is currently expected to be made by way of a final special dividend prior to the Company's eventual liquidation.

Holders of Ordinary shares have the rights to receive notice of, to attend and to vote at all general meetings of the Company.

14. Fair values

The Company classifies fair value measurements of its financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss are analysed in a fair value hierarchy based on the following levels:

• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

• Those involving 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) (level 2).

• Those involving inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes 'observable' requires significant judgement by the Company. The Company considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

The following table shows financial instruments recognised at fair value, analysed between those whose fair value is based on:

Financial assets at 31 August 2013	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
	US$ '000	US$ '000	US$ '000	US$ '000
Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception:

Other	-	-	10,780	10,780

When fair values of listed equity and debt securities at the reporting date are based on quoted market prices or binding dealer price quotations (bid prices for long positions), without any deduction for transaction costs, the instruments are included within Level 1 of the hierarchy.

The fair values of Bank debt which is provided by a broker is classified as Level 2. The fair value of bank debt which is derived from unobservable data is classified as Level 3.

The fair values of investments in the Micro Cap, Legacy and Mezzanine portfolios for which there are no active market, are calculated using a valuation model which is accepted in the industry. The model calculates the fair value by applying an appropriate multiple (based on comparable quoted companies, recent acquisition prices and quotes) to the Company's last twelve months EBITDA and deducting a market liquidity discount. The multiples used and marketability discount are classified as unobservable inputs therefore investments are classified as Level 3.

Transfers between levels

There were no transfers between the levels of hierarchy of financial assets recognised at fair value within the period ended 31 August 2013 and 28 February 2013.

The following table shows a reconciliation of all movements in the fair value of financial instruments categorised within Level 3 between the beginning and the end of the reporting period.

For the investments measured at Level 3 at the reporting date, the Company adjusted the default rate, and discount rate assumptions within a range of reasonably possible alternatives. The extent of the adjustment varied according to the characteristics of each security.

The potential effect of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions for valuing financial instruments classified as Level 3 at the reporting date would reduce the fair value by up to US$18,886,000 or increase the fair value by US$18,886,000

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are determined as follows:

- The fair value of the Zero Dividend Preference shares is deemed to be their quoted market price. As at 31 August 2013 the ask price was £3.12 (28 February 2013: £3.24 per share) the total fair value of the ZDP shares was US$99,939,000 (28 February 2013 :US$89,839,000) which is US$4,783,000 higher (28 February 2013: US$12,002,000 higher) than the liability recorded in the Statement of Financial Position.

The carrying amounts of loans and receivables are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method in the financial statements. The fair value of loans and receivables at 31 August 2013 was US$1,000,000 (28 February 2013: US$7,834,000).

The carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are deemed to be their fair value due to their short term nature.

The Company has certain financial instruments that are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques such as earnings multiple model derived either from acquisition/purchase information or observable market data from comparable companies. In some cases an adjustment is made to the acquisition/purchase multiple to reflect the underlying growth of the investment. These are adjusted to reflect counter party credit risk and limitations in the model.

For the financial instruments whose fair value is estimated using valuation techniques with no market observable inputs, the net unrealised amount recorded in the statement of comprehensive income in the period due to changes in the inputs amounts to gains of US$2,940,000 (28 February 2013: gains of US$2,558,000).

The table below analyses the Company's concentration of private investments by industrial distribution and the effect on the net assets attributable to shareholders and on the increase/(decrease) in profit for the year due to a reasonably possible change in the value of unobservable inputs. In practice, the actual trading results may differ from the sensitivity analysis below and the difference could be material.

Industry	Carrying Value		Percentage of total private investments	Unobservable inputs	Ranges	Effect on the net assets attributable to shareholders
	31/08/2013		31/08/2013			31/08/2013

15.Basic andDiluted Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the earnings for the period by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

For the periods ended 31 August 2013 and 31 August 2012 the weighted average number of Ordinary shares (including Limited Voting Ordinary shares) outstanding during the period was 65,018,607.

16.Net Asset Value Per Share

The net asset value per Ordinary share of US$9.87 (28 February 2013: US$9.69) is based on the net assets at the period end of US$641,661,000 (28 February 2013: US$630,182,000) and on 65,018,607 (28 February 2013: 65,018,607) Ordinary shares, being the number of Ordinary shares in issue at the period end.

The investment was subsequently transferred to JZCP as part of the in specie transfer dated 1 July 2008. A further US$142,000 has subsequently been invested in ETX Holdings, Inc. At 31 August 2013, the investment was valued at US$688,000 (28 February 2013: US$671,000).

JZAI and JZAM were each founded by David Zalaznick and Jay Jordan.

The Company has invested with The Resolute Fund, which is managed by the Jordan Company, a company in which David Zalaznick and Jay Jordan are Managing Principals. At 31 August 2013, the investments co-invested totalled US$24,334,000.

The Directors' remuneration is disclosed in Note 9.

20.Controlling Party

The issued shares of the Company are owned by a number of parties, and therefore, in the opinion of the Directors, there is no ultimate controlling party of the Company, as defined by IAS 24 - Related Party Disclosures.

21.Contingent assets

a) Amounts held in escrow accounts

Investments have been disposed by the Company, of which the consideration given included contractual terms requiring that a percentage was held in an escrow account pending resolution of any indemnifiable claims that may arise. At 31 August 2013 the Company has assessed that the fair value of these escrow accounts are nil as it is not reasonably probable that they will be realised by the Company.

As at 31 August 2013, the Company had the following contingent assets held in escrow accounts which had not been recognised as assets of the Company:

Company	Amount in Escrow
	31/08/2013	28/02/2013
	US$'000	US$'000

GHW (G&H Wire)	883	2,609
Advanced Chemistry & Technology, Inc.	1,613	1,613
Wound Care Solutions, LLC	1,421	1,573
N&B Industries, Inc.	776	776
Apparel Ventures, Inc.	428	428
Dantom Systems, Inc.	15	15
Recycled Holdings Corporation	1,913	1,300

	7,049	8,314

During the period US$1,265,000 (31 August 2012: US$2,145,000) was realised relating to the escrow accounts of the Company.

b) Income incentive fee

The Company has a contingent asset of US$4,409,700 (28 February 2013: US$4,409,700) relating to an income incentive fee which was paid on account to the Investment Adviser during the year ended 29 February 2012. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement the amount paid in that year is repayable to the Company as the required annual hurdle was not met. The amount is repayable on termination of the Advisory Agreement or offset against any future income incentive fees payable. As neither a date for the termination of the Advisory Agreement or the event of any future income incentive fees becoming payable can be predicted the amount is treated as a contingent asset.

22.Dividends paid and proposed

In accordance with the Company's dividend policy, it is the Directors' intention for the year ending 28 February 2013 and thereafter to distribute approximately 3% of the Company's net assets in the form of dividends paid in US dollars (Shareholders can elect to receive dividends in Sterling). Prior to the new policy, the Directors have distributed substantially all of the Company's net cash income (after expenses) in the form of dividends.

For the year ended 28 February 2013 an interim dividend of 14.0 cents per Ordinary share (total US$9,102,605) was paid on 5 November 2012.

A second dividend for the year ended 28 February 2013 of 15.00 cents per Ordinary share (total US$9,752,791) was paid on 14 June 2013.

An interim dividend of 14.5 cents per Ordinary share (total US$9,427,698) was declared by the Board on 15 October 2013 and will be paid on 13 November 2013.

23. Subsequent events

These financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board on 15 October 2013. Subsequent events have been evaluated until this date.

Independent Review Report to JZ Capital Partners Limited

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended 31 August 2013 which comprise the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income, unaudited consolidated statement of financial position, unaudited consolidated statement of changes in equity, unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes 1 to 23. We have read the other information contained in the condensed interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of interim consolidated financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standards on Review Engagements 2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 March 2013 to 31 August 2013 are the responsibility of, and have been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements 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 are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have 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 to the Company a conclusion on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements 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 United Kingdom. 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 March 2013 to 31 August 2013 are 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.

US Investors

General

The Company's Articles contain provisions allowing the Directors to decline to register a person as a holder of any class of ordinary shares or other securities of the Company or to require the transfer of those securities (including by way of a disposal effected by the Company itself) if they believe that the person:

(A) is a "US person" (as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and not a "qualified purchaser" (as defined in the US Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended);

(B) is a "Benefit Plan Investor" (as described under "Prohibition on Benefit Plan Investors and Restrictions on Non-ERISA Plan" below); or

(C) is, or is related to, a citizen or resident of the United States, a US partnership, a US corporation or a certain type of estate or trust and that ownership of any class of ordinary shares or any other equity securities of the Company by the person would materially increase the risk that the Company could be or become a "controlled foreign corporation" (as described under "US Tax Matters" below").

In addition, the Directors may require any holder of any class of ordinary shares or other securities of the Company to show to their satisfaction whether or not the holder is a person described in paragraphs (A), (B) or (C) above.

US Securities Laws

The Company (a) is not subject to the reporting requirements of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and does not intend to become subject to such reporting requirements and (b) is not registered as an investment company under the US Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and investors in the Company are not subject to the protections provided by the 1940 Act.

Prohibition on Benefit Plan Investors and Restrictions on Non-ERISA Plans

Investment in the Company by "Benefit Plan Investors" is prohibited so that the assets of the Company will not be deemed to constitute "plan assets" of a "Benefit Plan Investor". The term "Benefit Plan Investor" shall have the meaning contained in Section 3(42) of the US Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and includes (a) an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to Part 4 of Title I of ERISA; (b) a "plan" described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code; and (c) an entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of an employee benefit plan's or a plan's investment in such entity. For purposes of the foregoing, a "Benefit Plan Investor" does not include a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a non-US plan (as defined in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) that has not elected to be subject to ERISA.

Each purchaser and subsequent transferee of any class of ordinary shares (or any other class of equity interest in the Company) will be required to represent, warrant and covenant, or will be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted that it is not, and is not acting on behalf of or with the assets of a, Benefit Plan Investor to acquire such ordinary shares (or any other class of equity interest in the Company).

Under the Articles, the directors have the power to require the sale or transfer of the Company's securities in order to avoid the assets of the Company being treated as "plan assets" for the purposes of ERISA.

The fiduciary provisions of pension codes applicable to governmental plans, non-US plans or other employee benefit plans or retirement arrangements that are not subject to ERISA (collectively, "Non-ERISA Plans") may impose limitations on investment in the Company. Fiduciaries of Non-ERISA Plans, in consultation with their advisors, should consider, to the extent applicable, the impact of such fiduciary rules and regulations on an investment in the Company. Among other considerations, the fiduciary of a Non-ERISA Plan should take into account the composition of the Non-ERISA Plan's portfolio with respect to diversification; the cash flow needs of the Non-ERISA Plan and the effects thereon of the illiquidity of the investment; the economic terms of the Non- ERISA Plan's investment in the Company; the Non-ERISA Plan's funding objectives; the tax effects of the investment and the tax and other risks associated with the investment; the fact that the investors in the Company are expected to consist of a diverse group of investors (including taxable, tax-exempt, domestic and foreign entities) and the fact that the management of the Company will not take the particular objectives of any investors or class of investors into account.

Non-ERISA Plan fiduciaries should also take into account the fact that, while the Company's board of directors and its investment advisor will have certain general fiduciary duties to the Company, the board and the investment advisor will not have any direct fiduciary relationship with or duty to any investor, either with respect to its investment in Shares or with respect to the management and investment of the assets of the Company. Similarly, it is intended that the assets of the Company will not be considered plan assets of any Non-ERISA Plan or be subject to any fiduciary or investment restrictions that may exist under pension codes specifically applicable to such Non-ERISA Plans. Each Non-ERISA Plan will be required to acknowledge and agree in connection with its investment in any securities to the foregoing status of the Company, the board and the investment advisor that there is no rule, regulation or requirement applicable to such investor that is inconsistent with the foregoing description of the Company, the board and the investment advisor.

Each purchaser or transferee that is a Non-ERISA Plan will be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted as follows:

(a) The Non-ERISA Plan is not a Benefit Plan Investor;

(b) The decision to commit assets of the Non-ERISA Plan for investment in the Company was made by fiduciaries independent of the Company, the Board, the Investment Advisor and any of their respective agents, representatives or affiliates, which fiduciaries (i) are duly authorized to make such investment decision and have not relied on any advice or recommendations of the Company, the Board, the Investment Advisor or any of their respective agents, representatives or affiliates and (ii) in consultation with their advisers, have carefully considered the impact of any applicable federal, state or local law on an investment in the Company;

(c) None of the Company, the Board, the Investment Advisor or any of their respective agents, representatives or affiliates has exercised any discretionary authority or control with respect to the Non-ERISA Plan's investment in the Company, nor has the Company, the Board, the Investment Advisor or any of their respective agents, representatives or affiliates rendered individualized investment advice to the Non-ERISA Plan based upon the Non-ERISA Plan's investment policies or strategies, overall portfolio composition or diversification with respect to its commitment to invest in the Company and the investment program thereunder; and

(d) It acknowledges and agrees that it is intended that the Company will not hold plan assets of the Non-ERISA Plan and that none of the Company, the Board, the Investment Advisor or any of their respective agents, representatives or affiliates will be acting as a fiduciary to the Non-ERISA Plan under any applicable federal, state or local law governing the Non-ERISA Plan, with respect to either (i) the Non-ERISA Plan's purchase or retention of its investment in the Company or (ii) the management or operation of the business or assets of the Company. It also confirms that there is no rule, regulation, or requirement applicable to such purchaser or transferee that is inconsistent with the foregoing description of the Company, the Board and the Investment Advisor.

US Tax Matters

This discussion does not constitute tax advice and is not intended to be a substitute for tax advice and planning. Prospective holders of the Company's securities must consult their own tax advisers concerning the US federal, state and local income tax and estate tax consequences in their particular situations of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Company's securities, as well as any consequences under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

The Company's directors are entitled to decline to register a person as, or to require such person to cease to be, a holder of any class of ordinary shares or other equity securities of the Company if they believe that: such person is, or is related to, a citizen or resident of the United States, a US partnership, a US corporation or a certain type of estate or trust and that ownership of any class of ordinary shares or any other equity securities of the Company by such person would materially increase the risk that the Company could be or become a "controlled foreign corporation" (a "CFC").

In general, a foreign corporation is treated as a "CFC" only if its "US shareholders" collectively own more than 50% of the total combined voting power or total value of the corporation's stock. A "US shareholder" means any US person who owns, directly or indirectly through foreign entities, or is considered to own (by application of certain constructive ownership rules), 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of a foreign corporation, such as the Company.

There is a risk that the Company will decline to register a person as, or to require such person to cease to be, a holder of the Company's the Company if the Company could be or become a CFC. The Company's treatment as a CFC could have adverse tax consequences for US taxpayers.

The Company is expected to be treated as a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC"). The Company's treatment as a PFIC is likely to have adverse tax consequences for US taxpayers.

The taxation of a US taxpayer's investment in the Company's securities is highly complex. Prospective holders of the Company's securities must consult their own tax advisers concerning the US federal, state and local income tax and estate tax consequences in their particular situations of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Company's securities, as well as any consequences under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
