CHAIRMAN'S  STATEMENT

Contact : Colin Clive, Director, Thompson Clive & Partners Limited

Telephone : (020) 7535 4900


At 30 June 2005, the net asset value per share of Thompson Clive Investments plc
("TCI") was 472.9p, a decrease of 12.3% from the net asset value at 31 December
2004.  This is mainly due to a drop in price of Genitope.   For the six months
to 30 June 2005, TCI earned a net profit of #123,000 (2004: #315,000) and the
retained profit for the period was also #123,000 (2004: #260,000).  These
results should be seen in the light of TCI's reduced size, from total net assets
of #25,917,000 at 30 June 2004 to #11,890,000 at 30 June 2005, due principally
to the realisation policy and tender offers.

Following the policy adopted in previous years, the Directors do not recommend
the payment of an interim dividend.

In line with the Company's announcement on 28 October 2002 to realise the
unquoted portfolio by 31 December 2007, disposals continue to be made.  On 26
January 2005, GFI Group Inc. floated on NASDAQ and TCI sold its entire holding
at the float.  Together with the sale of N-Soft SA and a partial distribution
from Medicom International Ltd, the Company realised gains of #1,104,000 against
a cost of #364,000.

June 2005 saw TCI's seventh tender offer of #4.6m and a total of #52 million has
now been returned to shareholders by this means.  In order to release reserves
for distribution, the Company sought and received shareholder consent to a
capital reduction whereby its shares of 50p were reduced to shares of 1p each.

The Board changes signalled in TCI's 2004 Annual Report took place on 21 June
2005.  On that date Colin Clive (Chairman) and Richard Thompson resigned from
the Board of the Company and Christopher Jones (independent non-executive
director) became Chairman.  Charles Fitzherbert (Director of the manager,
Thompson Clive & Partners) was appointed a Director.

Since 30 June 2005, Genitope (which at that date represented 56.9% of the
portfolio) has announced that its independent Data Safety Monitoring Board
reviewed the first planned interim analysis of data for efficacy in its pivotal
phase 3 clinical trials for treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and
recommended that the trial continue as planned.  The next interim analysis is
scheduled to occur in mid-2006.  Following the announcement, Genitope's share
price fell from its 30 June 2005 level of $12.72 per share to around $8 by
mid-August.

The Board is pursuing a course of action to liquidate its dormant subsidiary
before the year end and has therefore not adopted International Financial
Reporting Standards in preparing this interim report.

The Board continues to seek realisation opportunities, both public and private,
with the aim of maximising return to shareholders.

Christopher Jones
Chairman
24 August 2005


The interim report is being sent to shareholders and further copies are
available from the Company's registered office.  The results will not be
advertised in any newspaper.

Note 1

Basis of preparation

Thompson Clive Investments plc, ("the Company") is a 100% shareholder of
Thompson Clive Asset Management Ltd ("subsidiary" or "TCAM"), which has remained
dormant for the past several years. The interim report is prepared on the basis
of UK GAAP - generally accepted accounting practice in the United Kingdom and is
consistent with the accounting policies set out in the financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2004.

EU law (IAS Regulation EC 1606/2002) requires that a listed company within the
EU region,  presenting consolidated  annual financial statements for the year
ending 31 December 2005, must prepare its consolidated annual financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) adopted for use in the EU ("adopted IFRSs").  Listed companies
presenting only individual financial statements are permitted to continue to
adopt UK GAAP.

The interim report of the Company has been prepared on the basis that the
Company's subsidiary, TCAM, will shortly be put into liquidation, and will
therefore make unnecessary the preparation of consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2005.  The Directors of the Company are confident
that the liquidation of the subsidiary will be complete by 31 December 2005 and
have therefore prepared the interim report of the Group in accordance with UK
GAAP, which they expect to be the basis that they will adopt in the preparation
of its individual annual financial statements.  Were the liquidation not to be
complete by 31 December 2005, the Company would have to prepare consolidated
annual financial statements, in accordance with adopted IFRSs.
