INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY

Following the outcome of the vote held at the AGM on 22 May 2024, the Company adopted a revised investment objective and investment policy in order to facilitate a managed wind-down of the Company. The revised Investment Policy is now "to realise the Company's assets on a timely basis with the goal of making returns of cash to holders of Ordinary Shares as soon as practicable" (the "Wind-down Investment Policy").

The Investment Manager is actively seeking exit opportunities to realise the loans comprising the Company's portfolio and returning the resulting proceeds to Shareholders. The Investment Manager may dispose of loans in the secondary market.

The precise mechanism for the return of cash to holders of Ordinary Shares in the managed wind-down is at the discretion of the Board, but includes a combination of capital distributions, tender offers, mandatory share redemptions and share repurchases. The return of proceeds to Shareholders may require further Shareholder approvals, depending on the methods used. Since entering managed wind-down, the Company has returned approximately $39.8 million of capital to Shareholders, reflecting the redemption of 41,739,076 Ordinary shares.

The Company will continue to carry on its investment business during the managed wind-down with a view to spreading risk during the managed wind-down.

Prior to the 2024 AGM, the Company's investment objective was to lend to companies working to drive change and deliver solutions across the energy sector, spanning renewable as well as conventional sources, with a primary focus on infrastructure assets, by building a portfolio that generated an attractive and risk adjusted return for investors. In addition, investments are generally structured as Green Loans or Sustainability-Linked Loans

Further details on the Company's previous investment strategy, investment restrictions and distribution policy are outlined in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Chairman's Statement

Overview

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support. On 22 May 2024, following shareholder approval at the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), the Company adopted the Wind-Down Investment Policy and entered managed wind-down. We are very proud of the portfolio of loans built by the Investment Manager to help support the energy transition and we are committed to maximising shareholder value through this managed wind-down process.

During the period, we are pleased that the Company completed a major milestone towards this objective. At close of business on 27 June 2025 (the "Redemption Date"), the Company redeemed (on a pro rata basis) 19,090,875 Ordinary Shares at a redemption price of US$0.88 per Ordinary Share. The Ordinary Shares redeemed were equal to approximately 28 per cent. of the Company's Ordinary Shares in issue as at the Redemption Date. Following this initial redemption, the Company has 49,066,161 Ordinary Shares remaining in issue.  Since the adoption of the Managed Wind Down Investment Policy, the Company has now redeemed approximately 41 percent of the Company's Ordinary Shares.

Operationally, we continue to be pleased with the financial performance of the Company's portfolio as well as the beneficial impact its loans are having on the journey towards greater environmental sustainability in global energy infrastructure. During the first half of 2025, the Company's portfolio remained stable from 2024 with the exception of Harland & Wolff as the remaining position is in administration. The Company has now delivered a NAV total return of 31.5% to investors since inception in May 2019 and 38.9 cents of income.

After the period end, the Investment Manager has also successfully realised its investment in Streamline Innovations at a 20 percent gross IRR (15 percent net IRR) and 1.33x gross MOIC (1.25x net MOIC)

The Company will continue to focus on the realisation of the Company's remaining seven positions and the prompt return of capital to our shareholders.

Key Portfolio Developments

As at 30 June 2025, RCOI's NAV per share is $0.90 (31 December 2024: $0.92). The NAV per share decline over the period was principally attributable to a decline in the fair market value of Harland & Wolff.

There was one successful realisation during 2025, Streamline.

·      Post period-end, on 18 July 2025, the Company successfully realised its first lien green term loan with Streamline Innovations at a 20 percent gross IRR, a 15 percent net IRR, 1.33x gross MOIC and a 1.25x net MOIC. 

Performance

The Company reported a loss of ($0.9) million for the period ending 30 June 2025, resulting from income received from the investment portfolio and changes in the portfolio valuation. The Company's Net Asset Value ("NAV") ended the period at $0.90 per share. The Company's reported loss over the period was principally attributable to the mark reduction for Harland & Wolff. The Company is paying distributions of 1.58 cents per share to investors in the first half of 2025.

The current unrealised portfolio remains attractive, marked at an average 1.14x Gross MOIC and 1.01x Net MOIC. Characteristics of RCOI's investment strategy, particularly the focus on a conservative LTV, diversified sub-sectors and end-user base, as well as structured incentives for early repayment, have helped mitigate negative portfolio impacts from broader market fluctuations.

RCOI has made 27 investments, 20 of which are realised since inception and cumulatively invested $253 million of capital since the IPO in May 2019. The Company has now realised a total of 20 investments, delivering an average gross IRR of 13.5 per cent and net IRR of 7.3 per cent.

Outlook

In total, since the adoption of the new Wind Down strategy in May 2024, the Company has redeemed approximately 41 percent of the Company's shares in issue. We remain focused on continuing to maximise value for shareholders and promptly return that capital as we continue to progress this strategy. The Board look forward to providing further updates on the remaining investments in due course.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT

ABOUT THE INVESTMENT MANAGER

Appointed in May 2019, the Investment Manager, an affiliate of Riverstone, seeks to generate consistent shareholder returns predominantly in the form of income distributions principally by making Green and Sustainability-Linked, senior secured loans to energy transition businesses. Loans are classified as Green Loans when they support environmentally sustainable economic activity and Sustainability-Linked Loans when they contain sustainability performance targets or other equivalent metrics to be monitored. RCOI has participated in loans to companies working to drive change and deliver better solutions across the energy sector, spanning renewable as well as conventional energy, with a primary focus on infrastructure assets. The Company's aim was to build a portfolio that generates an attractive and consistent risk-adjusted return for investors, as well as drive positive impact regarding climate change by structuring loans as Green Loans or Sustainability-Linked Loans.

On 31 December 2023, Riverstone Holdings LLC and their affiliate Riverstone Investment Group (collectively, "Riverstone") entered into an agreement with Breakwall Capital LP ("Breakwall") to provide sub-management services (the "Sub-Management Agreement") for all credit vehicles managed by Riverstone, including RCOI (the "Existing Credit Vehicles"). Breakwall is a newly formed independent asset-management firm regulated by the SEC as a Registered Investment Advisor, owned and operated by the former Riverstone Credit Partners team. Services provided by Breakwall commenced on 2 January 2024.

Under the arrangement, Riverstone has remained the manager of RCOI on the terms of RCOI's existing management agreement and all aspects of the ongoing management of the Company, including the day-to-day investment team, have remained consistent with current practices. There was no increase in fees payable by RCOI as a result of the modified arrangements. The Board of RCOI was involved in establishing the Sub-Management Agreement and are confident that the structure of Riverstone as manager and Breakwall as the sub-manager will continue to deliver strong returns for shareholders during this period of managed wind-down.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO SUMMARY

As of 30 June 2025, the Company holds a portfolio of investments in seven companies across energy infrastructure & infrastructure services and energy transition assets as further discussed below. In addition, RCOI holds the warrants of one investment where the loan was fully realised.

The portfolio consists of the following:

·      loans and equitised investments expected to generate future returns - Harland & Wolff, Seawolf Water Resources, Hoover Circular Solutions, and Max Midstream;

·      loans held at de minimis value - Caliber Midstream; and

·      equity held at zero value - Imperium3 New York, Inc. and its equity in Charge CCCV.

These classifications reflect the current assessment of each investment's potential to contribute to future returns.

In the descriptions that follow, yield to maturity is inclusive of all upfront fees, original issue discounts, drawn spreads and prepayment penalties through the stated maturity of the loan. Most loans have incentives to be called early. A portion of the loans have a "payment-in-kind" feature for drawn coupons for a limited time period. Similarly, some of the loans have a "delayed-draw" feature that allows the borrower to call capital over time, but always with a hard deadline. Loans that are committed are loans with signed definitive documentation where a structuring fee and/or original issue discount have been earned and the Company earns an undrawn spread. Loans that are invested are signed with definitive documentation and, where a structuring fee and/or original issue discount have been earned, the Company has funded the loan to the Borrower and the Company is earning a drawn coupon.

The Investment Manager expects that every loan it has made will advance the cause of energy transition one way or another. For new green energy infrastructure, or conversion of older assets to a more sustainable use, we typically issue Green Loans. For existing hydrocarbon related businesses, we typically issue Sustainability-Linked Loans that tie loan economics to meeting specific sustainability performance targets. Both structures are based on LSTA guidelines and are subject to third party independent opinion from Sustainable Fitch, a division of Fitch Group focused on ESG.

Harland & Wolff - In March 2022, RCOI participated in a $35.0 million first lien Green Term Loan to Harland & Wolff ("H&W"), an infrastructure operator engaged in the development and operation of strategic maritime assets across the United Kingdom. This loan has subsequently been upsized to $140 million and was due to mature in December 2024 and entered into a forbearance agreement that expired on 31^st of January 2025. Harland & Wolff entered administration subsequently.

At the initial closing RCOI committed $11.8 million. This has subsequently been upsized to $14.6 million. As of 30 June 2025, $11.1 million remains invested, reflecting 25.1 per cent of RCOI's overall commitments. 

On 12 May 2025, the Company received $3.5 million cash payment from Harland & Wolff. The Company is entitled to potential claims and an equitised interest from Harland & Wolff post the administration process. In addition, RCOI retains its interest of c. 14.8% in the Islandmagee Gas Storage Project, which has been initially capitalised to fund the go-forward permitting process before deciding how best to develop and/or monetise the asset.

Seawolf Water Resources - In September 2022, RCOI made a secondary investment in a stapled bundle of private securities in Seawolf Water Resources ("Seawolf"), a privately held water infrastructure services company with operations primarily in Loving County, TX and southern New Mexico. The investment includes a Sustainability-Linked first lien term loan along with preferred stock and common equity, collectively purchased at a significant discount to market value. The loan portion of the investment is due in March 2026 and was purchased at an estimated all-in yield to maturity of 10.6 per cent to RCOI. The preferred stock and common equity are perpetual in nature but benefit from excess cash returned to the shareholders from time to time.

Across the term loan, preferred stock, and common equity, RCOI committed a total of $9.0 million, which has subsequently been reduced to $8.5 million via repurchases of preferred stock by the company. This reflects 19.1 per cent of RCOI's overall commitments as of 30 June 2025.

Hoover Circular Solutions - In November 2022, RCOI participated in a $160 million Sustainability-Linked first lien term loan to Hoover CS, a leading provider of sustainable packaging and fleet management solutions, that is paving the way for customers across the chemical, refining and general industrial-end markets to move away from single-use containers. Sustainable Fitch provided a Second Party Opinion ("SPO") on the loan. The loan is due in November 2026 and was made at an estimated all-in yield to maturity of 10.6 per cent. 

At closing, RCOI committed $13.7 million. As of 30 June 2025, the full $13.7 million remains invested, reflecting 31.0 per cent of RCOI's overall commitments.

Max Midstream - In December 2022, RCOI participated in a $28.3 million Sustainability-Linked, first lien term loan (the "Term Loan") to a subsidiary of Max Energy Industrial Holdings US LLC ("Max"). Max is developing the first carbon-neutral crude oil export terminal on the Gulf Coast of Texas, which it believes will lead to increased market share as crude consumers globally seek to reduce their overall carbon footprint. As of 30 June 2025, the term loan was ABR + 5.50%, plus an additional 2.00% penalty interest for an all-in coupon of 15.00%.

At close, RCOI committed $5.0 million. As of 30 June 2025, the full $5.0 million remains invested, reflecting 11.3 per cent of RCOI's overall commitments.

Streamline Innovations - In June 2023, RCOI participated in a $55 million Green term loan to Streamline Innovations, a leader in environmentally-advanced treatment solutions for the removal of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) from natural gas, renewable fuels, wastewater, and industrial processes. The facility was structured as a Green Loan with Sustainable Fitch providing a Second Party Opinion.   The loan is due in December 2026 and was made at an estimated all-in yield to maturity of 12.5 per cent.   

At closing, RCOI committed $9.9 million and funded $3.5 million. As of 30 June 2025, RCOI's commitment was reduced to $5.5 million, with $4.4 million unfunded commitment which expired 31 December 2024, representing 12.1 per cent of RCOI's total commitments.

On 18 July 2025, RCOI successfully realised its first lien green loan in Streamline Innovations at a 20 percent gross IRR (15 percent net IRR) and 1.33x gross MOIC (1.25x net MOIC).

Imperium3 New York, Inc - In April 2021, RCOI participated in a $63.0 million first lien delayed-draw Green term loan to Imperium 3 New York, Inc, as lithium-ion battery company that will commercialise high performing lithium-ion batteries by developing a large-scale manufacturing facility in Endicott, NY. The loan was fully refinanced in April 2022, with a new source of financing, resulting in a 32.5 per cent realised IRR and 1.25x realised MOIC.

At closing, RCOI committed $6.8 million. In addition, as part of the loan terms, RCOI was granted warrants to purchase 0.4 per cent of the Imperium's equity and 0.3 per cent of the equity in one of

Imperium's parent company's Charge CCCV. As of 30 June 2025, none of the loan is outstanding but the warrants remain in the Company's portfolio.

On January 27, 2025, Imperium3 New York, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection resulting in the warrants being devalued to zero. While Charge CCCV is not part of the bankruptcy filing, the equity held in Charge CCCV has been written down to de minimis value due to the resulting impairment in value.

Caliber Midstream - In July 2019, RCOI participated in a $10.0 million upsize of a $65.0 million first lien holding company term loan to Caliber Midstream (the "HoldCo Term Loan"), a sponsor-backed Bakken focused midstream company that provides crude oil and natural gas gathering and processing, produced water transportation and disposal, and freshwater sourcing and transportation.

At closing, RCOI committed $3.4 million to the HoldCo Term Loan. Subsequently, in April 2021, an additional $0.6 million was invested on a secondary basis in a senior secured first lien loan made to Caliber (the "Opco Loan"), bringing RCOI's total commitment to Caliber to $4.0 million.

In March 2021, Caliber's largest customer, Nine Point Energy, terminated their midstream contract with Caliber and subsequently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In May 2021, RCOI and the other HoldCo Lenders completed a recapitalisation of Caliber resulting in HoldCo Term Loan Lenders receiving substantially all of the equity in HoldCo.  

In March 2022, the Caliber and the OpCo Loan lenders subsequently closed a second restructuring with the OpCo Loan lenders receiving approximately 100% of the equity. Following the restructuring, new management was hired, a new contract was executed and there remains increased focus on cost cutting initiatives and new revenue opportunities.

As of 30 June 2025, $0.6 million of commitment remains invested, reflecting 1.4% of RCOI's overall commitments post restructuring.

BUSINESS REVIEW

MANAGED WIND-DOWN

Following the AGM on 22 May 2024 the Company adopted a wind-down investment policy. Details of the adoption of the managed wind-down are as follows:

·      The Company's investment objective and investment policy is now to realise the Company's assets on a timely basis with the goal of making returns of cash to holders of Ordinary Shares as soon as practicable.

·      The Investment Manager is actively seeking exit opportunities to realise the loans comprising the Company's portfolio and returning the resulting proceeds to Shareholders. The Investment Manager may dispose of loans in the secondary market.

·      The Company will maintain its listing on the Specialist Fund Segment and continue to conduct its affairs (including as regards payment of dividends) so as to qualify as an investment trust for the purposes of section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, in each case for as long as the Board believes such status to be practicable and cost-effective for Shareholders.

·      The unaudited net asset value of the Company will continue to be calculated on a quarterly basis in accordance with the Company's accounting policies per the notes to the financial statements and will be published through a Regulatory News Service, although the Board would keep this net asset value reporting policy under review in light of the diminishing size of the Company's portfolio during the course of the managed wind-down.

·      The precise mechanism for the return of cash to holders of Ordinary Shares in a managed wind-down will be at the discretion of the Board, but will include a combination of capital distributions, tender offers, mandatory share redemptions and share buybacks. The return of proceeds to Shareholders may require further Shareholder approvals, depending on the methods used.

GOING CONCERN

As of the date of the report, the Directors are required to consider whether they have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Following the AGM held on 22 May 2024 at which Shareholders voted in favour of a change in the Company's Investment Policy to Wind-Down Investment policy, the Investment Manager is actively considering exit opportunities of each investment to maximise returns for shareholders. 

The Company's investment objective and Wind-Down Investment Policy is "to realise the Company's assets on a timely basis with the goal of making returns of cash to holders of Ordinary Shares as soon as practicable". The Investment Manager is actively seeking exit opportunities to realise the loans comprising the Company's portfolio and returning the resulting proceeds to Shareholders. The Company is therefore preparing its financial statements on a basis other than going concern due to the Company being in a managed wind-down.

The Company will continue to carry on its investment business during the managed wind-down and with the expectation of realising the Company's assets and returning of capital to its Shareholders.

The Directors consider that the change to the Company's objectives and Investment Policy, are in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole.

In addition, with the Company amending its Investment Policy to Wind-Down Investment Policy, the senior secured revolving credit facility's ("RCF") credit agreement with the Company was also amended.  The RCF credit agreement was amended to allow aggregate amount of borrowings of up to US$500,000 in order to optimise cash flows during the Managed Wind-Down. The amendment also sets forth a Utilisation Fee of one percent per annum due and payable quarterly by the Company to the lender.  

As of 30 June 2025, the Company has sufficient cash held in the SPVs reflected in the value of the Company's investments in the SPVs. As of the date of the financial statements, the Company and its SPVs have $19.25m cash and cash equivalents available of which $0.50m is short-term money market fix deposits, $1.84m in cash within the SPVs and the remaining $16.91m cash held by the Company. The Company's cash balance includes $16.80m for the Compulsory Redemption of Ordinary shares. The Company's and its SPVs current cash will be able to meet the near-term current liabilities when come due.

Whilst the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation throughout the wind down period and will be able to meet all of its liabilities as they fall due, given the Company is now in managed wind-down, the Directors considered it to be appropriate to adopt the basis other than going concern in preparing the financial statements. There were no material changes in the valuation of investments held at fair value as a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis. All of the balance sheet items have been recognised on a realisation basis, which is not materially different from the carrying amount. The Directors and the Investment Manager have made the appropriate provisions in order to bring about an orderly wind-down of the Company and its operations.

As of 30 June 2025, the weighted average remaining contractual tenor of the loans in the Company's portfolio is under one year. The Investment Manager is actively seeking to realise the loans comprising the Company's portfolio by holding them until they come to term or dispose in the secondary market where it considers this to be in the best interests of the Company. The Company in its best efforts, intends to realise and return to shareholders all proceeds in respect to its investment portfolio by December 2026.

On 27 June 2025, the Company redeemed 19,090,875 Ordinary Shares, which was approximately 28 per cent. of the Company's Ordinary Shares by way of a Compulsory Redemption of Ordinary Shares. The Directors will make further announcements on the progress of the Managed Wind-Down strategy and the return of cash to Shareholders in due course.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Directors are required to identify those material risks to which the Company is exposed and take appropriate steps to mitigate those risks. Risks relating to the Company are disclosed in the Company's prospectus which is available on the Company's website https://www.riverstonecoi.com.

The Company's assets consist of investments, through SPVs, within the global energy industry, with a particular focus on opportunities in the global E&P and midstream energy sub-sectors. The Company also focuses on energy transition, infrastructure and infrastructure services by structuring deals as either a Green Loan or a Sustainability-Linked Loan. Its principal risks are therefore related to market conditions in the energy sector in general, but also the particular circumstances of the businesses in which it is invested.

The Investment Manager seeks to mitigate these risks through active asset management initiatives.

The Board thoroughly considers the process for identifying, evaluating and managing any significant and emerging risks faced by the Company on an ongoing basis and has performed a robust assessment of those risks, which are reported and discussed at Board meetings.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Board ensures that effective controls are in place to mitigate these risks and that a satisfactory compliance regime exists to ensure all applicable local and international laws and regulations are upheld.

For each material risk, the likelihood and consequences are identified, management controls and frequency of monitoring are confirmed and results reported and discussed at the quarterly Board meetings.

The key areas of risk faced by the Company and mitigating factors are summarised below:

1.   The Ordinary Shares may trade at a discount to NAV per Share for reasons including but not limited to market conditions, liquidity concerns and actual or expected Company performance. In its efforts to mitigate this risk, the Investment Manager closely monitors and identifies the reasons for significant fluctuations, and considers the Company's share repurchase program when applicable and in the interests of Shareholders. As such, there can be no guarantee that attempts to mitigate such discount will be successful or that the use of discount control mechanisms will be possible, advisable or adopted by the Company.

2.   Investment decisions of the Investment Manager will depend upon the ability of its employees and agents to gather relevant information. The Company would continue to carry on its investment business during the managed wind-down.

3.   The Company's Investment objective and Wind-Down Investment Policy is to "realise the Company's assets on a timely basis with the goal of making returns of cash to holders of Ordinary shares as soon as practicable." The Investment Manager will manage current investments in accordance with the Investment Policy, market conditions and the economic environment. To mitigate the risk of realising investments not indicative of the fair value, the Company's Investment Policy and investment restrictions enable the Company to realise the loans comprising the Company's portfolio by holding them until they come to term and returning the resulting proceeds to Shareholders, with the precise mechanism for the return of cash to holders of Ordinary Shares in the managed wind-down at the discretion of the Board.

4.   Environmental exposures and existing and proposed environmental legislation and regulation may adversely affect the operations of Borrowers. Delay or failure to satisfy any regulatory conditions or other applicable requirements could hinder the operations of certain Borrowers. To mitigate this risk, the Investment Manager has usual and customary inspection rights and affirmative covenants regarding environmental matters contained in credit agreement documentation. 

5.   The valuations used to calculate the NAV on a quarterly basis will be based on the Investment Manager's unaudited estimated fair market values of the Company's investments and may be based on estimates which could be inaccurate. To mitigate this risk, the Investment Manager has an extensive valuation policy and also has engaged the independent valuation services of Houlihan Lokey on a quarterly basis.

6.   In today's global technological environment, the Company, its investments and its engaged service providers are subject to risks associated with cyber security. The effective operation of the Investment Manager and the businesses of Borrowers are likely to be highly dependent on the availability and operation of complex information and technological systems. To mitigate this risk, the Audit and Risk Committee Chairman monitors cyber security risk and best practices. Cyber security due diligence and ongoing monitoring is performed on each potential and current borrower.

7.   The Company may be exposed to fluctuations and volatility in commodity prices through its investments, and adverse changes in global supply and demand and prices for such commodities may adversely affect the business, results of operations, and financial condition of the Company. To mitigate this risk, the Investment Manager has created a diversified portfolio across various energy subsectors, commodity exposures, technologies and end-markets to provide natural synergies that aim to enhance the overall stability of the portfolio.

8.   The Company has only lent to Borrowers in the global energy sector and such single industry concentration could affect the Company's ability to generate returns. Adverse market conditions in the energy sector may delay or prevent the Company from realising investments. To mitigate this risk, the Investment Manager has created a diversified portfolio across various energy subsectors, commodity exposures, technologies and end-markets to provide natural synergies that aim to enhance the overall stability of the portfolio.

9.   The performance of the Company may be affected by changes to interest rates and credit spreads. To mitigate this risk, the Investment Manager assesses credit risk and interest rate risk on an ongoing basis and closely monitors each investment with the assistance of each respective management team and the engaged service providers.

10.   The Company relies on a third-party provider for the key operational tasks of the Company. The failure of any service provider to carry out their duty may have a detrimental effect on

the operation of the Company. To mitigate these risks the Board will review the internal control reports and consider business continuity arrangements of the Company.

The principal risks outlined above remain the most likely to affect the Company in the second half of the year

The accompanying notes below form an integral part of these interim condensed financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2025

1.   General Information

The Company was incorporated and registered in England and Wales on 11 March 2019 with registered number 11874946 as a public company limited by shares under the Companies Act 2006

(the ''Act''). The principal legislation under which the Company operates is the Act. The Directors intend, at all times, to conduct the affairs of the Company so as to enable it to qualify as an investment trust for the purposes of section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, as amended.

2.   Basis of preparation

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards ("UK-adopted IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. Where presentational guidance set out in the AIC SORP, 2022 edition, is consistent with the requirements of UK-adopted IAS, the Directors have sought to prepare the condensed financial statements on a basis compliant with the recommendations of the AIC SORP. In particular, supplementary information which analyses the Statement of Comprehensive Income between items of a revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the total Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a realisation basis (basis other than going concern). As a result of the change of basis and considering the costs of the wind-down process a provision of liquidation expenses of $343k was recorded in trade and other payables at 31 December 2024, with $318k remaining at 30 June 2025. The investments at fair value through profit & have been presented within current assets as the loans in the Company's portfolio is expected to be realised under one year. The Company, on a best-efforts basis, aims to realise and return proceeds to shareholders from its investment portfolio as promptly as practicable following the commencement of the managed wind-down, noting that the process has now been extended beyond the initial one-year time frame. No other material adjustments to accounting policies or the valuation basis have arisen as a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis. All of the balance sheet items have been recognised on a realisation basis, which is not materially different from the fair valued carrying amount.

These condensed financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies act and do not include all information and disclosures required in an Annual Report. They should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 included an unqualified audit report that included an Emphasis of Matter highlighting that the financial statements were prepared on a basis other than going concern. The audit report did not contain any statements under sections 498 (2) and (3) of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of this annual report has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

Going concern

As of the date of the report, the Directors are required to consider whether they have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Following the AGM held on 22 May 2024 at which Shareholders voted in favour of a change in the Company's Investment Policy to Wind-Down Investment Policy, the Investment Manager is actively considering exit opportunities of each investment to maximise returns for shareholders. 

The Company's investment objective and Wind-Down Investment Policy is "to realise the Company's assets on a timely basis with the goal of making returns of cash to holders of Ordinary Shares as soon as practicable". The Investment Manager is actively seeking exit opportunities to realise the loans comprising the Company's portfolio and returning the resulting proceeds to Shareholders. The Company is therefore preparing its financial statements on a basis other than going concern due to the Company being in a managed wind-down.

The Company will continue to carry on its investment business during the managed wind-down and with the expectation of realising the Company's assets and returning of capital to its Shareholders.

The Directors consider that the change to the Company's objectives and Investment Policy, are in the best interests of Shareholders as a whole.

In conjunction with the Company amending its Investment Policy to Wind-Down Investment Policy, the senior secured revolving credit facility's ("RCF") credit agreement with the Company was also amended.  The RCF credit agreement was amended to allow aggregate amount of borrowings of up to US$500,000 in order to optimise cash flows during the Managed Wind-Down. The amendment also sets forth a Utilisation Fee of one percent per annum due and payable quarterly by the Company to the lender. On 1^st July 2025, the RCF was terminated and a Payoff Letter executed, releasing obligators under the Loan document and Credit agreement.

As of 30 June 2025, the Company has sufficient cash held in the SPVs reflected in the value of the Company's investments in the SPVs. As of the date of the financial statements, the Company and its SPVs have $19.25m cash and cash equivalents available of which $0.5m is short-term money market fix deposits, $1.84m in cash within the SPVs and the remaining $16.91m cash held by the Company. The Company's cash balance includes $16.8m for the Compulsory Redemption of Ordinary shares. The Company's and its SPVs current cash will be able to meet the near-term current liabilities when come due.

Whilst the Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operation throughout the wind down period and will be able to meet all of its liabilities as they fall due, given the Company is now in managed wind-down, the Directors considered it to be appropriate to adopt the basis other than going concern in preparing the financial statements. There were no material changes in the valuation of investments held at fair value as a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis. All of the balance sheet items have been recognised on a realisation basis, which is not materially different from the carrying amount. The Directors and the Investment Manager have made the appropriate provisions in order to bring about an orderly wind-down of the Company and its operations.

As of 30 June 2025, the weighted average remaining contractual tenor of the loans in the Company's portfolio is under one year. The Investment Manager is actively seeking to realise the loans comprising the Company's portfolio by holding them until they come to term or dispose in the secondary market where it considers this to be in the best interests of the Company. The Company in its best efforts, intends to realise and return to shareholders all proceeds in respect to its investment portfolio by December 2026.

On 27 June 2025, the Company redeemed 19,090,875 Ordinary Shares, which was approximately 28 per cent. of the Company's Ordinary Shares by way of a Compulsory Redemption of Ordinary Shares. The Directors will make further announcements on the progress of the Managed Wind-Down strategy and the return of cash to Shareholders in due course.

Segmental Reporting

The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors, as a whole. The key measure of performance used by the Board to assess the Company's performance and to allocate resources is the Company's Net Asset Value, as calculated under UK-adopted IAS, and therefore, no reconciliation is required between the measure of profit or loss used by the Board and that contained in the Interim Report.

For management purposes, the Company is organised into one main operating segment, which invests through its SPVs in a diversified portfolio of debt instruments, issued by Borrowers operating in the energy sector. All of the Company's current income is derived from within the United States.

All of the Company's non-current assets are located in the United States. Due to the Company's nature, it has no customers.

Seasonal and Cyclical Variations

The Company's results do not vary as a result of seasonal activity.

3.   Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Estimates and assumptions that are significant to the financial statements include the valuation of the investments as detailed in note 4 and the potential impact of climate change.

Further details of these judgements, estimates and assumptions made by the Directors are given in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. During the interim period there has been no change to the judgements, estimates and assumptions outlined in the annual report.

4.   Investments at fair value through profit or loss

Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets

As set out above the Company's investment in Riverstone International Credit Corp. comprises of a loan investment and an equity investment and the investment in Riverstone International Credit L.P. comprises of an equity investment. The SPVs invest in a diversified portfolio of direct and indirect investments in loans, notes, bonds and other debt instruments.

Interest receivable on the loan investment at 30 June 2025 is $2.4m (31 December 2024: $1.1m). The unrealised movement in fair value of investments was shown in the Change in fair value of investments at fair value through profit or loss in the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The dividend receivable on the equity investment at 30 June 2025 was $nil (31 December 2024: $nil). The total unfunded commitments of the Company by its SPV investments as at 30 June 2025 is $nil (31 December 2024: $nil).

Reconciliation of investment income recognised in the period

Total cash received in relation to interest income in the period was $0.7m (2024: $3.3m). This comprises $0.7m (2024: $3.3m) of loan interest in the period and $nil (2024: $nil) of amounts capitalised in the prior period.

Fair value measurements

As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024, IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" requires disclosure of fair value measurement by level.

The level of fair value hierarchy within the financial assets or financial liabilities ranges from level 1 to level 3 and is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Company's investments is ultimately determined by the fair values of the underlying investments. Due to the nature of the investments, they are always expected to be classified as level 3 as the investments are not traded and contain unobservable inputs. There have been no transfers between levels during the six months ended 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: none).

Valuation methodology and process

The Directors base the fair value of investment in the SPVs on the fair value of their assets and liabilities, adjusted, if necessary, to reflect liquidity, future commitments, and other specific factors of the SPVs and Investment Manager. This is based on the components within the SPVs, principally the value of the SPVs' investments, in addition to cash and short-term money market fixed deposits. Any fluctuation in the value of the SPVs' investments held will directly impact on the value of the Company's investment in the SPVs.

The Company's investment in Riverstone International Credit Corp. comprises a debt and an equity investment and is valued as one unit of account.

Investment held by SPVs

The SPVs' investments are valued using the techniques described in the Company's valuation policy, as outlined in note 2. The Investment Manager's assessment of fair value of investments held by the SPVs is determined in accordance with IPEV Valuation Guidelines. When valuing the SPVs' investments, the Investment Manager reviews information provided by the underlying investee companies and other business partners and applies IPEV methodologies, to estimate a fair value as at the date of the Statement of Financial Position.

Initially, acquisitions are valued at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Subsequently, and as appropriate, the Investment Manager values the investments on a quarterly basis using common industry valuation techniques, including comparable public market valuation, comparable merger and acquisition transaction valuation and discounted cash flow valuation. The techniques used in determining the fair value of the Company's investments through its SPVs are selected on an investment-by-investment basis so as to maximise the use of market based observable inputs. These techniques also reflect the impact of primary and transition risks on the portfolio, although

the impact of the risks is minimal as the maximum investment period is seven years. As disclosed in note 2, due to the illiquid and subjective nature of the Company's underlying investments, the Investment Manager uses a third-party valuation provider to perform a full independent valuation of the underlying investments.

Quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs - Level 3 - SPV

The Directors believe that it is appropriate to measure the SPVs at their adjusted net asset value, incorporating a valuation of the underlying investments which has taken into account risks to fair value, inclusive of liquidity discounts, through appropriate discount rates.

Sensitivity analysis to significant changes in unobservable inputs within Level 3 hierarchy

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis as at 30 June 2025 are as shown below:

The Company's valuation policy is compliant with both UK-adopted IAS and IPEV Valuation Guidelines and is applied consistently. As the Company's investments are generally not publicly quoted, valuations require meaningful judgment to establish a range of values, and the ultimate value at which an investment is realised may differ from its most recent valuation and the difference may be significant.

For the period ended 30 June 2025, the valuations of the Company's investments, through its SPVs, are detailed in the table below and also detailed in the Investment Manager's Report.

The below table shows the investments held by SPVs fair value sensitivities to a 100 BPS increase in the discount rate and 0.5x multiple decrease used for each industry as at 30 June 2025.

^(a) The difference between the fair value of the SPVs of $44.7m and the fair value of the underlying investments at 30 June 2025 is due to cash and cash equivalent balances of $1.8m, a money market investment of $0.5m and residual receivables of $1.2m, held within the SPVs.

5.   Unconsolidated subsidiaries

The following table shows subsidiaries of the Company. As the Company is regarded as an Investment Entity these subsidiaries have not been consolidated in the preparation of the financial statements:

The registered office of the above subsidiaries is c/o The Corporation Trust Company, Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.

Riverstone International Credit Corp. had a net asset value of $5.1m as at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: $12.7m) with a gain of $0.4m (31 December 2024: $10.2m loss).

The amounts invested in the Company's unconsolidated subsidiaries during the period and their carrying value at 30 June 2025 are as outlined in note 4 comprising:

During Q4 2022, the Company's SPVs entered a senior secured RCF agreement for $15.0 million to enter into new commitments ahead of anticipated realisations, enabling the Company to minimise the drag on returns of uninvested capital. The borrowers as defined per the RCF agreement are Riverstone International Credit - Direct L.P. and Riverstone International Credit L.P., and the guarantors are the Company, Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income Partners - Direct L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income Partners L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company.

On 23 April 2024, the SPVs entered into an Amendment to the RCF agreement. There is now a 'utilisation fee' of 1% per annum paid quarterly on the difference between the amount of the commitment and the average daily outstanding principal balance of the loan. There is also an amendment to limit borrowings to only pay interest on the loans and fees expenses arising under the agreement and for any follow-on investments.

At 30 June 2025, $nil (31 December 2024: $nil) of the senior secured RCF was drawn at close and the remaining $15 million (31 December 2024: $15m) undrawn commitment is available for future borrowings. Pursuant to the RCF agreement, the interest rate per annum on each borrowing under the RCF can be referenced to SOFR + 6.50% with a 100bps SOFR floor.

At 30 June 2025 the SPVs borrowed $nil (31 December 2024: $nil), in the six months to the period ended 30 June 2025 the SPVs incurred $nil million (31 December 2024: $nil million) in fees and $nil million (31 December 2024: $nil) in interest. Interest is recorded as an interest expense at the SPV level and is also included in the SPVs' net asset value. The interest rate on 2025 borrowings was SOFR plus 6.50% (31 December 2024: SOFR plus 6.50%).

There are no restrictions on the ability of the Company's unconsolidated subsidiaries to transfer funds in the form of cash distributions or repayment of loans. All of the Company's interest income and dividend income is receivable directly from the Company's SPVs.

The Investment Manager will receive from the Company, a Profit Share based on the Company's income, as calculated for UK tax purposes and the Company's Capital Account.

The Profit Share will be payable quarterly at the same time as the Company pays its distributions, subject to an annual reconciliation in the last quarter of each year, as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Amounts expensed as Profit Share during the year was $50k (2024: nil).

11. Tax

As an investment trust, the Company is exempt from UK corporation tax on capital gains arising on the disposal of shares. Capital profits from its loan relationships are exempt from UK tax where the profits are accounted for through the Capital column of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, in accordance with the AIC SORP.

The Company has made a streaming election to HMRC in respect of distributions and is entitled to deduct interest distributions paid out of income profits arising from its loan relationships in computing its UK corporation tax liability. Therefore, no tax liability has been recognised in the financial statements.

As at 30 June 2025 the Company has excess management expenses of $6,836,949 that are available to offset future taxable revenue. A deferred tax asset of $1,709,237, measured at the substantively enacted standard corporation tax rate of 25% has not been recognised in respect of these expenses since the Directors believe that there will be no taxable profits in the future against which the deferred tax asset can be offset.

Deferred tax is not provided on capital gains and losses arising on the revaluation or disposal of investments because the Company meets (and intends to continue to meet for the foreseeable future) the conditions for approval as an Investment Trust company.
