  2. SMALL COMPANIES DIVIDEND TRUST PLC Trust facts July 2013 SMALL COMPANIES DIVIDEND TRUST PLC Trust facts as at 30.6.05 • Fund Manager’s comments as at 31.7.13 • The positive performance in July has been driven, in part, by an improving economic background and a more positive outlook for UK GDP growth. There now appears to be a consistency in both macro and survey data that supports the recovery theme and we note that commentators have already started to reflect on the both the speed and strength of recovery. The issue for equity investors is whether or not this new found optimism is already priced into valuations and we continue to reiterate our belief that after recent market moves we need to see earnings upgrades to move prices significantly higher. It will be important to see whether or not Company Directors start to reflect an improvement in outlook in their trading statements in the next reporting season. In the meantime with interest rates set to stay low for a prolonged period the ability of a company to pay a strong and growing dividend should continue to underpin valuations in our portfolio. • Whilst there continues to be no sustained sector leadership within UK equities there was a strong contribution to performance in the last period from a number of our domestic consumer facing stocks. Noticeable amongst these were Cineworld and N.Brown, the latter after releasing a positive trading update. Contracting and building related stocks have been in focus as investors look for beneficiaries of a macro recovery and VP and Marshalls both performed well after announcing reassuring trading updates and the Kier price moved ahead after the Company completed the acquisition of May Gurney. Whilst we have a reasonable exposure to a GDP led recovery in general contracting we would caution that in the short term rising labour and material costs may prove to be a temporary headwind.

  3. SMALL COMPANIES DIVIDEND TRUST PLC Trust facts July 2013 SM • Risk Factors • The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and you may not get back your original investment. Investment trusts can borrow money to make additional investments on top of shareholders funds (gearing). If the value of these investments fall in value, gearing will magnify the negative impact on performance. Particular share classes may also be structurally geared by other share classes that have earlier entitlement to the Company’s assets up to a predetermined limit. If an investment trust incorporates a large amount of gearing the value of its shares may be subject to sudden and large falls in value and you could get back nothing at all. Some split capital shares have higher risk characteristics than conventional equities which can result in capital erosion. An investor could lose all of their capital. Smaller companies are riskier and less liquid than larger companies which means their share price may be more volatile. Some of the annual management fee is currently charged to the capital of the Fund. Whilst this increases the yield, it will restrict the potential for capital growth. The level of yield may be subject to fluctuation and is not guaranteed. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) performance is not the same as share price performance and investors may not realise returns the same as NAV performance.
