HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT
For the six months ended 30 June 2019
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
Overview and important events
RM ZDP plc (the "Company") was incorporated in England and Wales
on 21 February 2018. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of RM
Secured Direct Lending plc ("RMDL") and was incorporated for the
sole purpose of issuing Zero Dividend Preference Shares (the "ZDP
Shares").
The non-executive directors of the Company are Norman Crighton,
Guy Heald and Marlene Wood who also act as directors of RMDL. The
Directors have overall responsibility for the Company's activities.
The Directors have delegated certain functions to other parties,
such as the AIFM, the Administrator and the Registrar.
On 3 April 2018, 10,869,950 ZDP shares were issued and admitted
to trading on the standard segment of the Official List of the
London Stock Exchange. The Company has made a loan of the gross
proceeds raised from the issue of the ZDP Shares to RMDL pursuant
to the ZDP Loan Agreement between the Company and RMDL. The
Company's only material financial obligations are in respect of the
ZDP Shares. Its only material assets are the ZDP Loan and the
obligation of RMDL, under the Undertaking between RMDL and the
Company, to put the Company in a position to meet its obligations
in respect of the ZDP Shares and to pay its operating expenses.
Subject to the Companies Act, on a return of capital, on a
winding-up or otherwise, ZDP Shareholders will be entitled to
receive an amount equal to the Initial Capital Entitlement of 100
pence per ZDP Share, increased at such daily accrual rate as
compounds annually to give a Final Capital Entitlement of 110.91
pence per ZDP Share at the ZDP Repayment Date of 6 April 2021,
which is equivalent to a Redemption Yield of 3.5 per cent. per
annum (compounded annually).
As at 30 June 2019 the accrued capital entitlement per ZDP Share
was 104.38p and the share price per ZDP Share was 105.5p.
Objective
The objective of the Company is to meet the final capital
entitlement of the ZDP Shares at the ZDP Repayment Date.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risk and uncertainties faced by the Company arise
from the Loan Agreement with RMDL and the ability of RMDL to meet
its obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Undertaking. In
order to mitigate these risks, there are various restrictions
applicable to RMDL in the Loan Agreement and the Undertaking. In
addition, under the Investment Policy of RMDL, there is a limit
that gearing represented by borrowings, including any obligations
owed by RMDL in respect of an issue of zero dividend preference
shares (whether issued by RMDL or any other member of its group) or
any third-party borrowings, will not, in aggregate, exceed 20 per
cent. of the net asset value of RMDL calculated at the time of
drawdown. The unaudited Gross Assets of RMDL at 30 June 2019 were
GBP110 million.

Details of related party transactions are provided in the notes

Notes to the unaudited financial statements
1. General information
RM ZDP Plc ("the Company" or "ZDP") was incorporated in England and Wales
on 21 February 2018, with registered number 11217952 as a public company
limited by shares under the Companies Act. The Company commenced its operations
on 3 April 2018.
2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies followed by the Company are set out
below:
(a) Statement of compliance
The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules ('DTRs') of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. They
do not include all of the information required for full annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
of the Company as at and for the period ended 31 December 2018. The financial
statements of the Company as at and for the period ended 31 December 2018
were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
('IFRS') as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
The financial information for the period ended 31 December 2018 in the
interim unaudited financial statements has been extracted from the audited
financial statements.
(b) Basis of accounting
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules ('DTRs') of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. They
do not include all of the information required for full annual financial
statements and have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Company relies on its parent company's ability to repay the
Loan and in its capacity as counterparty to the Deed of Undertaking (as
detailed in note 3) to continue in operation as a going concern.
The functional and presentational currency of the Company is Sterling
(GBP).
(c) Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost-Loans made by the
Company and ZDP Shares
Loans made by the Company to its Parent Company RM Secured Direct Lending
plc are classified financial assets at amortised cost. Loans made by the
Company and ZDP Shares are initially recognised at cost, being the fair
value of the consideration received or paid associated with the loan or
borrowing. Loans and ZDP Shares are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (for the
loans). Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest
rate. The loan will be de-recognised when the company is no longer eligible
for the cash flows from it and the ZDPS will be de-recognised when they
are repaid. The final capital entitlement to ZDP Shareholders will rank
in priority to the capital entitlement of the Ordinary Shares as such
ZDP Shares are classified as a liability.
Impairment of assets - Financial assets at amortised cost and Trade and
other receivables are subject to impairment calculated under the expected
credit loss model within IFRS 9.
(d) Income
Interest income is recognised on accrual basis in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.
(e) Expenses
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis and recognised in
the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(f) Taxation
The charge for taxation is based upon the net return for the period using
the applicable UK corporation tax rate for the reporting period. It takes
into account both deductible and non-deductible income and expenses incurred
in the reporting period. Deferred taxation will be recognised as an asset
or a liability if transactions have occurred at the initial reporting
date that give rise to an obligation to pay more taxation in the future,
or a right to pay less taxation in the future. An asset will not be recognised
to the extent that the transfer of economic benefit is uncertain.
(g) Estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires the Directors to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current
facts, circumstances and, to some extent, future events and actions, the
Company's actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates, possibly
significantly.

or otherwise, ZDP Shareholders will be entitled to receive an amount
