  2. SMALL COMPANIES DIVIDEND TRUST PLC Trust facts June 2001 SMALL COMPANIES DIVIDEND TRUST PLC Trust facts as at 30.6.05 The negative return of the last month was a case of  ‘risk off’ in the first weeks as the UK equity market fell reflecting continued worries over a Greek default and poor domestic macro data. The last week was back to ‘risk on’ when markets bounced back as the underlying corporate news continued, on balance, to be positive and upgrades continued to outweigh downgrades, albeit marginally.  At the same time there was a relative improvement in the performance of UK centric stocks compared to overseas earners which will have benefited our fund and the first tentative signs of a pick up in corporate activity.  We expect markets to continue to be volatile over the summer months. At the stock level we believe that some of the earnings forecasts for 2012 appear to be rather optimistic given the macro background and whilst we still expect decent earnings growth, in aggregate, we expect a period of adjustment for some of the top of the range forecasts.  Importantly however we still believe that we will see strong dividend growth and, if anything, our dividend expectations are continuing to rise with respect to 2012 as the dividend will become an increasingly important way for Directors to differentiate their Company and attract the marginal buyer. In the last month we have added two new holdings to our fund, Marstons a pub operator and brewer, and Timeweave which has an interest in licences to broadcast from racecourses. At the same time we have taken funds from Alumasc, Castings, Avesco Sinclair (W) and sold our holding in Dawson in its entirety after the cash bid from Smiths News. • Fund Manager’s comments as at 30.6.11 Portfolio breakdown by market capitalisation Small Companies Dividend Trust PLC is registered in England Company No: 3749536 Price Information: Financial Times Reuters: SDV.L (Ords); SEDOL: 0661582 Marketmakers: Fairfax I.S, Cazenove and Winterflood HOW TO CONTACT US Telephone : 01225 483 030 Email: cam@chelvertonam.com By Post: Chelverton Asset Management Limited 12b George Street Bath BA1 2EH www.chelvertonam.com

  3. SMALL COMPANIES DIVIDEND TRUST PLC Trust facts June 2011 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.
