INGENIOUS ENTERTAINMENT VCT 2 PLC

 

31 August 2012

 

Replacement: Half-yearly results for the six months to 30 June 2012

 

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

 

We are delighted to present the half-yearly financial report of Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 plc (the Company) covering the six months ended 30 June 2012 (the Reporting Period).

 

Overview of Activities

 

The Company has now completed the investment strategy for both its Ordinary and C Share classes and is fully invested under VCT regulations in respect of these Share classes. The management team will now focus upon maximising the returns from the investments made.

 

The Company continues to actively source and review investment opportunities for its remaining Share classes. One investment was made during the reporting period into the D Share class. This was an investment into Liverpool Sound City Limited, an established and profitable live music festival and digital business conference which is looking to grow and expand internationally.

 

Fund Raising

 

In November 2011, Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 plc and Ingenious Entertainment VCT 1 plc (the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs) launched the G Share offer for subscription. At 30 June 2012, a combined total of GBP5.5m across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs had been raised. The Ingenious Entertainment VCTs have now raised in excess of GBP53 million through all Share classes.

 

Results

 

The Ordinary Shares, C Shares, D Shares, E Shares, F Shares and G Shares are accounted for as separate pools of funds necessitating separate reporting.

 

Each of the Share classes reported a loss, as expected. This is a reflection of the running costs as well as the fact that there were no significant realisations in the Reporting Period.

 

The Ordinary Shares made a loss on ordinary activities of GBP82,000 (31 December 2011: loss of GBP144,000, 30 June 2011: loss of GBP106,000). The C Shares made a loss of GBP41,000 (31 December 2011: loss of GBP84,000, 30 June 2011: loss of GBP34,000). The D Shares made a loss of GBP102,000 (31 December 2011: loss of GBP128,000, 30 June 2011: loss of GBP64,000). The E Shares made a loss of GBP27,000 (31 December 2011: loss of GBP72,000, 30 June 2011: loss of GBP44,000). The F Shares made a loss of GBP12,000 (31 December 2011: loss of GBP37,000, 30 June 2011: loss of GBP22,000). The G shares made a loss of GBP49,000 (31 December 2011: N/A, 30 June 2011: N/A)

 

The net asset value per Ordinary Share is 75.4 pence (31 December 2011: 81.2 pence; 30 June 2011: 81.6 pence) although this is after the deduction of the interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share in the Reporting Period, an interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share for the year ended 31 December 2011 and an interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share in the six months to 30 June 2010. The net asset value including distributions to date is therefore 90.4 pence per share.

 

The net asset value per C Share is 70.0 pence (31 December 2011: 76.4 pence; 30 June 2011: 78.2 pence) although this is after the deduction of the interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share in the Reporting Period, an interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share for the year ended 31 December 2011 and an interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share in the six months to 30 June 2010. The net asset value including distributions to date is therefore 85.0 pence per share.

 

The net asset value per D Share is 79.5 pence (31 December 2011: 86.0 pence; 30 June 2011: 91.9 pence) although this is after the deduction of the interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share in the Reporting Period and an interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share for the year ended 31 December 2011. The net asset value including distributions to date is therefore 89.5 pence per share.

 

The net asset value per E Share is 87.1 pence (31 December 2011: 93.1 pence; 30 June 2011: 94.0 pence) although this is after the deduction of the interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share in the Reporting Period. The net asset value including distributions to date is therefore 92.1 pence per share.

 

The net asset value per F Share is 87.5 pence (31 December 2011: 93.3 pence; 30 June 2011: 94.1 pence) although this is after the deduction of the interim dividend of 5.0 pence per share in the Reporting Period. The net asset value including distributions to date is therefore 92.5 pence per share.

 

The net asset value per G Share is 93.8 pence (31 December 2011: N/A; 30 June 2011: N/A). No dividends have been declared or paid to date.

 

Investment Objective

 

The Company's main objective is to invest in companies established to create and bring to market live events and premium entertainment content which will provide shareholders with an attractive return. This strategy will aim to maximise the opportunities for paying tax-free dividends to shareholders from both the actual income received and capital profits on the sale of the Investee Companies.

 

Festivals

 

Rewind Festival & Rewind North (rebranded from 80s Rewind Festival & 80s Rewind North)

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount (Rewind Festival): GBP272,598

 

(GBP545,196 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

(GBP693,196 across the Ingenious Live VCTs)

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount (Rewind North): GBP500,000

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In December 2008, the Company invested in Into the Groove Limited alongside The Rival Organisation to co-promote Rewind Festival, a two-day music festival in Henley-on-Thames. The 2011 event sold out with 40,000 people attending over the two days. Highlights included performances from Holly Johnson and The Human League.

 

This year's event was held between 17 and 19 August and was also sold out (20,000 per day capacity). Highlights this year included performances from OMD and Kool and the Gang. This continued success once again demonstrates that Rewind is the country's leading celebration of 80s music.

 

The success of Rewind in the South of England gave rise to the opportunity to create a second festival and in October 2010, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs made a fresh investment in another company to co-promote Rewind North which took place for the first time in July 2011 at Scone Palace in Perthshire, Scotland. The festival had a star studded line up including Billy Ocean and Tony Hadley among the twenty plus acts appearing across the weekend.

 

The 2012 event, which was held between 20 and 22 July, saw ticket sales increase by 45% on 2011 levels and the festival delivered a profit in excess of GBP150,000. This year the event included performances from other popular artists such as The Village People, ABC, Big Country, Chesney Hawkes and Right Said Fred.

 

The brand creation strategy that the Manager focuses upon is further underlined by the fact that in February 2012 the first licensed international Rewind event was held in South Africa. Discussions are currently underway to return to South Africa and to license the Rewind event to a number of other territories.

 

Shakedown & We, The People Festivals

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP750,000

 

(GBP1,500,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In February 2011 the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested GBP1,500,000 in Venn Music Limited to stage and promote two new music festivals, Shakedown & We, The People.

 

The first Shakedown festival was held in Brighton on 17 September 2011 and hosted performances by Razorlight and Example as well as many other popular acts. Over 9,000 tickets were sold and the event was critically acclaimed. The capacity of the event has been increased to 20,000 for 2012 and the promoters believe that there is enormous potential for this event to become 'Brighton's own festival'.

 

The first We, The People festival, took place in the centre of Bristol on 4 and 5 June 2011 and attracted nearly 15,000 attendees over the two days. The headliners included popular dance act Chase and Status and a final farewell performance from The Streets as well as many other leading artists and local favourites. The event was not commercially successful and the promoters have decided to instead focus their energies fully upon the more commercially viable Shakedown festival.

 

Love Supreme Jazz Festival

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In December 2011, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested GBP2,000,000 in Love Supreme Festival Limited to promote the Love Supreme Jazz Festival which will first be staged in July 2013.

 

The Manager is confident that the partnership between the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs, Jazz FM and Neapolitan Music will create a unique event in this popular genre, which is currently underserved in the UK festival marketplace. This three day open-air camping festival will play host to some of the world's finest jazz musicians and plans for the event are progressing well.

 

Liverpool Sound City Limited

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP600,000

 

(GBP1,200,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In April 2012, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested GBP1,200,000 in Liverpool Sound City Limited to further expand the Sound City brand both nationally and internationally.

 

Sound City currently runs a profitable three day international music, media and technology conference and live arts and music festival in Liverpool which is held in May each year. The company has also organised international events in both New York and Abu Dhabi and plans to further expand the brand worldwide.

 

London Electronic Dance (LED) Festival

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP500,000

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In August 2010 the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested in CLS Concerts Limited to co-promote the LED Festival in partnership with AEG Live, Cream and Loudsound.

 

In 2011 the event hosted performances by some of the world's leading dance acts including Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Zane Lowe and many more. The show attracted over 23,000 people and generated a profit in excess of GBP200,000. The promoters feel that the LED brand is now very well positioned and has quickly established itself as London's leading electronic music festival.

 

The event will not be held in 2012 due to the uncertainty created in the London market by the staging of the Olympic Games and the subsequent creation of a number of 'free' events, but the promoters are currently considering their options for 2013.

 

The capital originally invested has been fully recouped from the LED events staged to date.

 

Exhibitions

 

Golf Live

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP275,000

 

(GBP550,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

(GBP550,000 across the Ingenious Live VCTs)

 

Golf Live is a three day interactive golf event which was staged at The London Golf Club between 18 and 20 May 2012. IMG, manager to a large number of leading golfers, also invested into the event. The long term aim was always to roll the event out to further prestigious golf courses around the world and it has already attracted sponsorship partners of the quality of Virgin Atlantic, Tommy Hilfiger, Golf Breaks, Celtic Manor and Bushnell. The event represents a highly creative way of bringing the sports and exhibition markets closely together.

 

In 2012 Golf Live was hosted by Colin Montgomerie, alongside many other stars from within the world of golf, including Gary Player, Paul Casey, Holly Fisher, Carly Booth and Thomas Levet. The event was extremely well received by both the corporate partners as well as the paying public.

 

The event has, however, struggled to become profitable and the promoters are currently undertaking an in depth evaluation to determine how best to move forward with the Golf Live brand.

 

Titans of Cricket

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In June 2011 an investment of GBP2,000,000 was made by the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into This Is Cricket Limited to promote a new sports event, Titans of Cricket.

 

Titans of Cricket was staged in October 2011 and mixed the best of Twenty20, the Indian Premier League and World Cup Cricket, combining them in a new show that demonstrates the skills of some of the world's top cricketing stars both past and present including Freddie Flintoff and Sanath Jayasuriya. The first event took place at the O2 in London and attracted positive reviews but did not perform well financially.

 

The Titans of Cricket brand is currently under review, but it is unlikely that an event will be staged in 2012. A provision has been made in these financial statements in respect of the Company's share of losses to date.

 

Live Venues

 

XOYO

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP400,000

 

(GBP800,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In March 2010, an investment of GBP800,000 was made with Assorted Works Limited to open a new live venue in Shoreditch, East London. XOYO is a 900 capacity live entertainment venue split over two floors. It programs, books and promotes an exciting range of live music, club nights, visual art and other creative media events. XOYO has a prime location in Shoreditch, the hub of London's music, art and party scene. Recent events included performances by chart stars such as The Gossip and Michael Kiwanuka.

 

The venue quickly carved out its niche in the Shoreditch bar and music scene, but struggled to deliver the levels of financial return that we had originally anticipated. We are delighted to announce, however, that in late July 2012 the venue was sold to a third party for a sum that delivered a profit to all of the original investors in the venture. The Ingenious Entertainment VCTs made a profit of around GBP30,000 on their investment and we feel that, given the circumstances, this course of action delivered the best possible solution for the shareholders.

 

Jetstream Live Events

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In December 2010, Ingenious Entertainment VCTs agreed with the directors of Apollo Resorts and Leisure Limited to invest further funding into Jetstream Events Limited to co-promote potential new projects in similar 'seaside' opportunities such as the Ingenious Live VCTs' co-promotion of the Scarborough Open Air Theatre. There are a number of potential ventures that are currently under discussion in venues such as Yarmouth, Blackpool and Brighton.

 

Jongleurs Comedy Live

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In October 2010 an investment of GBP2,000,000 was made into Jongleurs Comedy Live Limited to promote a variety of comedy events.

 

In June 2011 it was decided to withdraw from the Jongleurs investment. The full amount of the investment has now been recouped and accordingly, it is considered appropriate to value the investment at cost at the present time.

 

Television Format and Distribution

 

Let's Dance

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP500,000

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Live VCTs)

 

In January 2009, GBP2,000,000 was invested across both the Ingenious Live and Entertainment VCTs to back the television dance format Let's Dance. This was the second co-investment between the Ingenious Live and Entertainment VCTs.

 

For the past four years BBC One has commissioned Whizz Kid Entertainment to produce this hugely popular celebrity-led series for both Comic Relief and Sports Relief. In 2012, the programme was aired to over 28 million viewers across the series and starred celebrities such as Rowland Rivron, Arabella Weir and Ulrika Jonsson. Following the ratings success of the UK series, the Let's Dance format has been sold and aired in a number of different countries including Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Russia, Slovakia and Indonesia.

 

As a result of the format's success, the international sales agents for both the US (William Morris) and the Rest of the World (Fremantle) are continuing to push forward with the international sale of the format. The original capital invested has now been fully recouped.

 

We are pleased to announce that the BBC has re-commissioned a fifth UK series to be aired in 2013.

 

Digital Rights Group

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In June 2009, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested in DRG Media Assets Limited with independent television distributor Digital Rights Group Limited (DRG or DRG Group) to jointly acquire, market and distribute a series of television programmes.

 

DRG is a leading independent distributor of content in the UK with various brands in the DRG Group supporting all genres including drama, comedy, reality and other TV formats. DRG has worked on shows as diverse as The Inbetweeners, Kingdom starring Stephen Fry, the Martin Clunes drama Doc Martin, Australian series Sea Patrol, a wide variety of children's programmes and factual documentaries. The investment has generated a small positive return for the Company.

 

SuperVision Media

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In August 2010, an investment was made in SuperVision Media to co-promote and co-distribute alternative content. SuperVision Media is one of the leading owners and distributors of alternative content for cinemas around the globe in both the sport and entertainment fields. Their aim is to provide people with experiences that are the next best thing to being at the event whilst screening live, uninterrupted content mainly in 3D format, accompanied by surround sound.

 

In July 2010, SuperVision Media distributed the Football World Cup in 3D. Management continues to deliver sports content both in the UK and internationally. The company also secured the exclusive rights to screen Michael Flatley's Lord of The Dance in 3D, which was screened in major cinema chains across the US, UK, and Europe in March 2011.

 

Supervision Media screened the 2011 and 2012 Gentlemen's Singles Final from Wimbledon across the UK in a number of cinemas as well as airing the recent boxing match between David Haye and Derek Chisora.

 

Supervision Media made a loss in its first period of trading under this agreement, but the Manager believes that digital content will begin to firmly establish itself in the theatrical marketplace over the course of the next three years. Both SuperVision Media and the Manager continue to actively search for new deals.

 

Saturn Explosion

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In December 2010, Ingenious Entertainment VCTs agreed with the directors of SuperVision Media to form a new company, Saturn Explosion Limited, to carry on the trade of the production, promotion and exploitation of alternative digital content (including but not limited to event based entertainment and sport content such as music concerts, festivals, theatrical productions and live sporting events) across a range of media including television and cinema.

 

The purpose of this funding was to acquire content that could be exploited across the various platforms but whereby any investment would be underpinned by minimum revenues through third party advances from distributors as well as potential payments by sponsorship partners wishing to be connected with the content.

 

Saturn Explosion has considered a number of potential investment opportunities over the last 12 months, but has yet to agree appropriate terms on any of these.

 

Outlook

 

The economic climate continues to cast a shadow over commercial investment, but we believe that our strategy of investing in a sector of the economy that continues to perform robustly has been fully justified.

 

The sister funds to the company, Ingenious Live VCT 1 and Ingenious Live VCT 2, have just reached their fifth anniversaries and are poised to deliver strong returns to their shareholders (in excess of 8% per annum tax free, which would now equate to approximately 16% gross per annum for a 50% taxpayer). The Manager's aim is to deliver similar returns in relation to the various Ingenious Entertainment VCT Share classes. It is interesting to note that these so called 'alternative assets' have now become extremely popular with advisors as they are completely uncorrelated to the extremely volatile equity markets that prevail.

 

The Manager's focus remains very firmly upon ensuring that each investment is carefully sourced and structured in order to balance potential upside against capital risk. We believe that the investment portfolio already sourced readily supports the fact that the Company is already well advanced in achieving this requirement. In addition, we believe that the Company's strategy, which aims to successfully balance equity risk with a strong level of downside protection through minimum revenue arrangements of at least 75% in respect of each investment, is perfectly suited to the current economic environment whereby shareholders are very much focused upon capital preservation.

These financial statements, which have not been audited or reviewed by the Auditors, have been drawn up adopting the accounting policies set out in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year to 31 December 2011.

 

b) Valuation of Investments

 

The Company's business is investing in financial assets with a view to profiting from their total return in the form of income and capital growth. All investments are designated at fair value.

 

International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines

 

Unquoted investments, including equity and loan investments, are designated at fair value through profit or loss and valued in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Guidelines and Financial Reporting Standard 26 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" (FRS 26). Investments are initially recognised at cost. The investments are subsequently re-measured at fair value, as estimated by the Directors in good faith. Investment holding gains or losses arising from the revaluation of investments are taken directly to the Income Statement. Fair value is determined as follows:

 
 
    -- Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between 

knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

 
    -- In estimating the fair value for an investment, the Directors will 

apply a methodology that is appropriate in light of the nature, facts

and circumstances of the investment and its materiality in the context

of the total investment portfolio and will use reasonable assumptions

and estimates.

 
    -- An appropriate methodology incorporates available information about 

all factors that are likely to materially affect the fair value of the

investment. The valuation methodologies are applied consistently from

period to period, except where a change would result in a better

estimate of fair value. Any changes in valuation methodologies will be

clearly disclosed in the financial statements.

 

The most widely used methodologies are listed below. In assessing which methodology is appropriate, the Directors are predisposed towards those methodologies that draw upon market-based measures of risk and return.

 
 
    -- Price of recent investment 
 
    -- Discounted cash flows/earnings multiple 
 
    -- Net assets 
 
    -- Available market prices 
 

Of these the two methodologies most applicable to the Company's investments are:

 

1 - Price of recent investment

 

Where the investment being valued was made recently, its cost will generally provide a good indication of value. It is generally considered that this would only apply for a limited period; in practice a period up to the start of the first live event or entertainment content which forms the investment is often applied as the long stop date for such a valuation.

 

2 - Discounted cash flows/earnings of the underlying business

 

Investments can be valued by calculating the net present value of expected future cashflows of the Investee Companies. In relation to the Company's investments, anticipating future cashflows in excess of the guaranteed amounts would clearly require highly subjective judgements to be made in the early stage of each investment and therefore would not be an appropriate methodology to apply at such an early stage of the investment.

 

In the period prior to the second live event or entertainment content it is considered appropriate to use the price paid for the recent investment as the latest available information. Thereafter, the investment is fair valued on the discounted cash flow/earnings basis using the latest available information on the performance of the live event or entertainment content. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise.

 

As a result of the above basis of valuation, there is significant judgement associated with the valuation of investments.

 

Non-qualifying Investments - OEICs

 

The Company's Non-qualifying Investments in interest bearing money market OEICs are valued at fair value which is mid price. They have been designated as fair value through profit or loss for the purposes of FRS 26.

 

Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of Qualifying and Non-qualifying Investments are recognised as part of the capital return within the Income Statement and allocated to the realised or unrealised capital reserve as appropriate. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition or disposal of investments are charged to capital within the Income Statement.

 

c) Investment Income

 

Interest income is recognised in the Income Statement under the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate required to discount the expected future income streams over the life of the loan to its initial carrying amount. The main impact for the Company in that regard is the accounting treatment of the loan note premiums. Where those loan note premiums are charged in lieu of higher interest, they are credited to income over the life of the advance to the extent those premiums are anticipated to be collected.

 

d) Dividend Income

 

Dividend income is recognised in the Income Statement once it is declared by the Investee Companies.

 

e) Expenses

 

All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses are charged to the revenue account within the Income Statement except that:

 
 
    -- expenses which are incidental to the acquisition or disposal of an 

investment are charged to capital in the Income Statement as incurred;

 
    -- expenses are split and presented partly as capital items where a 

connection with the maintenance or enhancement of the value of the

investments held can be demonstrated; and

 
    -- the management fee has been allocated 50% to revenue and 50% to 

capital, which represents the expected split of the Company's long

term returns.

 

f) Deferred Taxation

 

Deferred taxation is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less, tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. This is subject to deferred tax assets only being recognised if it is considered more likely than not that there will be suitable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Timing differences are differences arising between the Company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements which are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.

 

g) Ordinary Shares, C Shares, D Shares, E Shares, F Shares and G Shares

 

The Company has six classes of Shares: Ordinary Shares, C Shares, D Shares, E Shares, F Shares and G Shares. Each Share class has a separate pool of income and expenses as well as assets and liabilities attributable to it. All Share classes rank pari passu with each other in terms of voting and other rights.

 

2. Basic and Diluted Return per Share

 

The calculation of basic return per Ordinary Share is based on the return on ordinary activities after tax for the period and on a weighted average of 10,205,011 Ordinary Shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 10,205,011; 30 June 2011: 10,205,011). The basic return per C Share has been calculated on a weighted average of 2,810,596 C Shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 2,810,596; 30 June 2011: 2,810,596). The basic return per D Share has been calculated on a weighted average of 6,735,624 D Shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 6,735,624; 30 June 2011: 6,735,624). The basic return per E Share has been calculated on a weighted average of 2,846,122 E Shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 2,123,163; 30 June 2011: 1,413,240). The basic return per F Share has been calculated on a weighted average of 1,572,095 F Shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 1,184,388; 30 June 2011: 802,213). The basic return per G Share has been calculated on a weighted average of 1,353,098 G Shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: N/A; 30 June 2011: N/A).

 

There are no dilutive potential Ordinary Shares, C Shares, D Shares, E Shares, F Shares or G Shares, including convertible instruments, options or contingent share agreements in issue for the Company. The basic return per share is therefore the same as the diluted return per share.

 

3. Non-qualifying Investments

 

In order to safeguard the capital available for investment in VCT Qualifying Investments and balance this with the need to provide good returns to investors, available funds from the net proceeds are invested in appropriate securities (money market securities and cash funds) until required for Qualifying investment purposes.

 

4. Net Asset Value per Share

 

The net asset value per Ordinary Share has been calculated based on 10,205,011 Ordinary Shares being the number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 10,205,011; 30 June 2011: 10,205,011).

 

The net asset value per C Share has been calculated based on 2,810,596 C Shares being the number of C Shares in issue as at 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 2,810,596; 30 June 2011: 2,810,596).

 

The net asset value per D Share has been calculated based on 6,735,624 D Shares being the number of D Shares in issue as at 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 6,735,624; 30 June 2011: 6,735,624).

 

The net asset value per E Share has been calculated based on 2,846,122 E Shares being the number of E Shares in issue as at 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 2,846,122; 30 June 2011: 2,712,935).

 

The net asset value per F Share has been calculated based on 1,572,095 F Shares being the number of F Shares in issue as at 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 1,572,095; 30 June 2011: 1,508,434).

 

The net asset value per G Share has been calculated based on 2,756,760 G Shares being the number of G Shares in issue as at 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: N/A; 30 June 2011: N/A).
