EIH PLC
("EIH" or the "Company")
Interim Results
The Company announces its interim results for the six months
from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016. A copy of this announcement
will shortly be available for inspection at www.eihplc.co.uk.
Chairman's Statement
The unaudited net assets of the Company as at 30 June 2016 were
valued at US$31.4m and therefore net asset value ("NAV") per share
at that date was 48.7 cents based on 64,500,002 ordinary shares in
issue (31 December 2015 NAV per share: 49.5 cents).
The NAV per share decreased by 1.6% in the period under
review.
After the period under review, on 13 July 2016, the Company made
a capital distribution to shareholders of 2.5 cents per share,
equivalent to approximately US$1.61m.
Total operating costs during the period were US$0.23m, or 2.7%
above the comparable prior year figure. In addition, the Company
paid certain annual management fees and expenses to Evolvence India
Fund PCC ("EIF") in respect of its commitments to that fund. These
costs are embedded in the capital account of EIF and do not appear
in the profit or loss for the Company.
The Company's investment portfolio comprises the following
(based on unaudited values as at 30 June 2016):

Further details on the Company's investment portfolio are set
out below and in Note 5 to the interim financial statements.
EIF
EIF has now drawn down 100% of its committed capital.
As at 30 June 2016 the Company had US$20.1m invested in EIF
(capital called of US$45.1m, less refund of capital contributions
of US$25.0m), equivalent to 31.2 cents per share. At the reporting
date the Fair Value (unaudited) of the Company's investment in EIF
was US$20.6m, equivalent to 31.9 cents per share, representing a
1.03 x multiple over cost.
During the period under review the S&P BSE SENSEX Indian
stock market index advanced by 3.4% in local currency and by 1.4%
in US dollar terms. The currency picture was relatively stable in
the period under review and it is also noted that the Indian Rupee
("INR") weakened by 1.9% against the US Dollar during the
period.
EIF's underlying private equity funds performed well such that
on the basis of beginning and end period fair values, and adjusting
for drawdowns and distributions made during the period, the fair
value of EIF's underlying funds increased by approximately 2.4% in
US Dollar terms, while their value increased by approximately 4.4%
in INR terms. On the same basis of measurement, however the
aggregate value of EIF's direct investments decreased by
approximately 0.4% in US Dollar terms, while in INR terms the
increase was approximately 1.6%.
EIF's private equity fund exposure is weighted towards funds
with vintages of 2006 and later. The four funds of these vintages
comprise 78.1% of EIF's private equity fund weighting. The
remaining six funds, with a 21.9% weighting, are all 2004 and 2005
vintages. EIF's three largest funds constitute 70% of EIF's private
equity fund weighting. These funds are Jacob Ballas India Fund III
(Growth / PIPE category), JMF India Fund I (Growth category) and
HI-REF International LLC (Real Estate category). The majority of
EIF's ten underlying private equity funds have fully drawn down
their committed capital from EIF, and EIF's remaining commitments
are concentrated in one fund, HI-REF International LLC Fund. During
the period under review, EIF received net distributions from all
but four of its funds, and the amount received was approximately
50% more as compared to prior period figure.
The Directors have reviewed certain underlying financial
information provided to us by EIF's Investment Manager and we
remain confident that as EIF's underlying portfolio matures and
further realisations are achieved, further cash distributions will
be received.
RSB Group ("RSB")
RSB is a large automotive components group based in Pune with a
multi-product portfolio comprising of propeller shafts, gears,
axles, machined engine components, trailers and construction
equipment parts. The Company's direct investment in RSB is held
through EIF Co Invest VII. The shareholders in EIF Co Invest VII
are the Company and EIF, which invested US$7.0m and US$10.0m
respectively, for a total investment of US$17.0m. No fees are
payable on the Company's investment in EIF Co Invest VII, while the
Company's indirect investment in RSB (through its interest in EIF)
attracts standard management and carried interest fee arrangements.
Through the above arrangements, and on a look-through basis, the
Company has a total of US$8.7m invested in RSB (at cost) compared
to the US$7.0m invested in RSB through EIF Co Invest VII.
Through the above arrangements, and on a look-through basis, the
fair value of the Company's total interest in RSB is 13.5 cents per
share; while the fair value of the Company's direct interest in RSB
(held through EIF Co Invest VII) is 10.7 cents per share. These
values represent a 1.0 times multiple over cost. The Fair Value of
the Company's interest in RSB is based on a valuation performed by
EIF's investment manager.

------------------------------------ ------------------ -------- -------- ----------
Table 2 extracts the Company's "look through" interests in Gland
Pharma Limited ("Gland") and RSB (from EIF) and adds them to the
Company's direct interests in Gland and RSB (held by EIF Co Invest
X and EIF Co Invest VII respectively). On this basis, 37.1% of the
Company's Financial Assets at Fair Value (US$10.7m, equivalent to
16.6 cents per share), is accounted for by its interests in Gland
and RSB on an underlying pro-forma basis. As stated in the 2015
Annual Report the distribution of the Company's share of its
interest in EILSF Co-invest I is expected to occur in early
2017.
Table 2 further shows that 42.5% of the Company's Financial
Assets at Fair Value is accounted for by its interests in EIF's ten
PE fund investments, and a further 19.1% by its interests in EIF's
direct investments (excluding Gland and RSB).
Other matters
At the date of this report, net cash balances held by the
company amount to US$0.8m.
Our objective remains to realise assets at the appropriate time
and value, and to return the proceeds, less expenses, to our
shareholders.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank all Shareholders
for their support.
Respectfully yours,
Rhys Cathan Davies

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Results
For the six months ended 30 June 2016
1 The Company
EIH PLC (formerly Evolvence India Holdings plc) was incorporated
and registered in the Isle of Man under the Isle of Man Companies
Act 1931-2004 on 10 November 2006 as a public company with
registered number 118297C. On 23 March 2011 the Company
re-registered under the Isle of Man Companies Act 2006.
Pursuant to a prospectus dated 19 March 2007 there was a placing
of up to 65,000,000 Ordinary Shares of GBP0.01 each. The number of

The Company's agents perform all significant functions.
Accordingly, the Company itself has no employees.
2 Duration
The Company currently does not have a fixed life but the Board
considers it desirable that Shareholders should have the
opportunity to review the future of the Company at appropriate
intervals. Accordingly, at the annual general meeting of the
Company in 2018 a resolution will be proposed that the Company
ceases to continue as presently constituted. Shareholders holding
at least fifty one per cent of the shares must vote in favour of
this resolution for it to be passed. If the resolution is not
passed, a similar resolution will be proposed at every third annual
general meeting of the Company thereafter. If the resolution is
passed, the Directors will be required, within 3 months of the
resolution, to formulate proposals to be put to Shareholders to
reorganise, unitise or reconstruct the Company or for the Company
to be wound up.
