Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC
Interim Results
The Directors announce the unaudited interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2013.
On behalf of your Board I am pleased to announce the financial
results for the six months to 30 June 2013 during which the Company
successfully completed a share class consolidation and the merger
with Ortus VCT PLC on 3 April 2013.
The merger enabled your Company to acquire valuable 'old money'
which can be invested under more favourable VCT regulations, and is
expected to deliver cost savings and administrative efficiency.
The six months to 30 June 2013 have been another period of
progress for your Company with net assets increasing to GBP29.4
million, including the proceeds of the successful Offer for
Subscription which closed on 30 April 2013.
Highlights
-- Total return on Ordinary Shares of 124.90p per share at 30
June 2013, up 2.15p (1.75%) from 31 December 2012;
-- NAV of Ordinary Shares at period end of 97.60p per share;
-- NAV of C Shares at period end of 98.40p per share;
-- Realisation of Atlantic Foods Group for a total return of
1.8x cost;
-- Seven new investments made during the period;
-- Partial exit from Homelux Nenplas alongside a secondary
buy-out of the Nenplas business;
-- Successful IPO of esure; and
-- Interim dividend declared of 2.00p per Ordinary Share (2012:
1.75p).
The most important measure of performance for a VCT is the NAV
total return, which is the long term record of dividend
payments
out of income and capital gains combined with the current
NAV.
Dividends
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 2.00p per Ordinary
Share, comprising 1.00p of revenue and 1.00p of capital, to be paid
on 27 September 2013 to Shareholders on the register on 6 September
2013.
Ortus Shareholders received a special dividend of 2.00p per
Ortus Ordinary Share on 17 April 2013, paid from cash transferred
from Ortus to the C Share pool. By that time, Ordinary, S and Ortus
Shareholders who invested at the outset had received dividends
totalling 27.30p, 13.35p and 15.41p respectively.
The Board regards the growing level of dividends as an
indication of the success of the Company's investment strategy and
is committed to improving Shareholder distributions in future years
as the portfolio continues to expand and mature.
The investment portfolio
During the period your Company participated in seven new private
company transactions, as well as six follow-on investments
supporting the development of existing portfolio companies. Most of
the existing private equity assets are trading acceptably or ahead
of plan. Developments within the portfolio are detailed in the
Investment Manager's Review
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board has reviewed the principal risks and uncertainties
facing the Company, which were set out in full in the 2012 Annual
Report, and are the risks involved in investment in small and
unquoted companies. In order to reduce the exposure to investment
risk the Company has invested in a broadly-based portfolio of
mature companies in the United Kingdom.
The VCT qualifying status of the Company is reviewed regularly
by your Board and monitored on a continuous basis by the Manager in
order to ensure that all of the criteria for VCT qualifying status
are met. The Board is pleased to confirm that all tests continue to
be met.
Valuation process
Investments held by Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC in
unquoted companies are valued in accordance with the International
Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines.
Investments quoted or traded on a recognised stock exchange,
including AIM, are valued at their bid prices.
VCT regulation
The AIC worked closely with the FSA on Consultation Paper 12-19
(restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective
investment schemes and close substitutes) and its applicability to
venture capital trusts. The Board has supported the AIC in calling
on the FSA to exclude VCTs from the proposals in the same way that
investment trusts have been and was pleased to note the
announcement by the FCA (which replaced the FSA) that VCTs have
been excluded from the marketing restrictions.
The Manager monitors all potential regulatory changes that are
under consideration and keeps the Board informed of any
implications for the Company.
VCT Offers and fund raising
An Offer for subscription was included in the merger
documentation, resulting in the issue of 4,324,206 new Ordinary
Shares and raising an additional GBP4,224,749 of share capital. The
Offer closed on 30 April 2013.
The Company may use the money raised under the Offer to pay
dividends and general running costs, thereby preserving for
investment purposes an equivalent sum of more valuable 'old money'
which operates under more advantageous VCT regulations. The
proceeds of the Offer will provide additional liquidity for the
Company to make further later-stage investments, and enable it to
spread its costs over a larger asset base to the benefit of all
Shareholders.
Share buy-back policy
Shareholders have given the Board authority to buy back Shares
for cancellation when it is in the interests of the Shareholders
and the Company as a whole and 195,000 Ordinary Shares and 105,000
C Ordinary Shares were bought back during the period at a cost of
GBP173,440 and GBP94,825 respectively. Details of the parameters
within which the Company may carry out share buy-backs are given in
the Directors' Report in the Annual Report.
Enhanced Share Buy-back (EBB) Scheme
Within the Shareholder circular and prospectus dated 1 March
2013, the Company announced its intention to offer Shareholders the
opportunity to participate in an EBB scheme during 2013. As HM
Treasury have recently issued a formal consultation on such schemes
a decision will be deferred until the guidelines are available.
The future
As a result of the share consolidation, merger and recent Offer
your Company is well placed to further develop its portfolio of
investments and the Board believes that the selective, later-stage
investment strategy pursued by the Manager will continue to drive
attractive returns to Shareholders.

Investment Manager's Review
Overview
The continuing focus for your Company is to achieve long-term
capital appreciation and to generate maintainable levels of
tax-free income for Shareholders through the ongoing expansion of
the private equity asset base.
The Ordinary and C portfolios combined now include almost 50
later-stage private company investments across a wide range of
sectors, the majority of which are trading positively and paying an
income to your Company. The portfolio continues to generate strong
levels of revenue, which is an important component in your
Company's ability to sustain an attractive level of tax-free
distributions to Shareholders.
The Maven team has continued to seek out suitable investment
opportunities in profitable UK companies with established revenue
streams and during the period several significant new assets were
added to the portfolio.
Kelvinlea, a second joint venture residential property
development with the same developer as Moriond, was added to the
portfolio in January 2013, as that first project moves towards a
profitable conclusion. In March 2013 a new company was formed to
acquire DPP, an established mechanical and electrical maintenance
business, and two new investments into long established businesses
completed in June 2013 with the acquisition of HCS Control Systems
Group and the buy-out of Lambert Contracts Holdings. In addition,
Maven has incorporated three new companies to invest in the retail,
manufacturing and e-commerce sectors.
The trend of successful exits seen during the previous financial
year has continued, and three profitable realisations were achieved
during the period generating capital proceeds of GBP1.6
million.
We are pleased to note a number of awards in recognition of the
quality of the Company's unlisted portfolio and Maven's investment
management strategy. In April 2013 our investee company, Torridon,
was announced as the Midlands regional winner of the Mid-Market
Private Equity-Backed Management Team of the Year award at the BVCA
Management Team Awards and in the following month Maven was
announced as winner of Scottish Investor of the Year at the
Acquisition International M&A Awards, which recognise
consistent achievement in the private equity/transactional
marketplace.
Investment activity
During the period the Maven team completed seven new private
equity investments on behalf of your Company, alongside six
follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. At the
period end, the combined portfolio stood at 64 unlisted and AIM
investments at a total cost of GBP23.6 million.

Your Company has co-invested in some or all of the above
transactions with Maven Income and Growth VCT, Maven Income and
Growth VCT 2, Maven Income and Growth VCT 3, Maven Income and
Growth VCT 5 and Talisman First Venture Capital Trust. The Company
is expected to continue to co-invest with all other Maven VCT
clients, which offers the advantage that, in aggregate, they are
able to underwrite a wider range and larger size of transaction
than would be the case on a stand-alone basis.
New investments
Seven private company investments were added to the portfolio
during the period under review:
-- Kelvinlea, a new company established to acquire a small
portfolio of residential properties at a discount to market value
and carry out a refurbishment and sales programme over an 18 to 24
month period. The transaction provides an 8.5% paid yield and is
also forecast to generate a significant capital gain when the
project is completed and all assets are sold;
-- Ensco 969, a new company formed to acquire DPP, an
established business that provides planned and reactive mechanical
and electrical maintenance services to operators of pubs,
restaurants and retail chains, predominantly in the South of
England. DPP has strong levels of contractual and recurring
revenues and a strong track record of attracting new clients and
increasing both the breadth of service and geography within which
it is delivered;
-- Manor Retailing, a new company set up to invest in the retail
and leisure sector, where Maven has made a number of successful
investments and sees the potential for further opportunities;
-- Richfield Engineering Services, a new company established
with a buy & build strategy targeting engineering businesses
with a strong technical service or product; encompassing
manufacturing, maintenance and spares & service
capabilities;
-- Search Commerce, a new company set up to invest in a business
providing e-commerce platforms focusing on distribution, service
and retail businesses;
-- HCS Control Systems Group, a long established business that
designs, manufactures, assembles and tests instrumentation control
packages for the onshore and worldwide offshore oil & gas
industry. HCS enjoys a large degree of repeat business from a loyal
customer base and will focus on growth through internationalisation
into key overseas markets. This acquisition was made by Burray
Capital, a new company established by Maven in December 2012 to
invest in the oil & gas sector; and
-- Lambert Contracts Holdings, a leading specialist contractor
in insurance reinstatement, property maintenance and fire
protection that benefits from long term embedded relationships with
major insurance companies, loss adjustors and property
managers.
In June 2013, a follow-on investment was made into Glacier
Energy Services Group, an oil & gas service group headquartered
in Aberdeen with two operating divisions, Glacier Engineering and
Glacier Offshore. Glacier Engineering is a specialist provider of
weld overlay and cladding services through the Wellclad trading
company. Glacier Offshore sells onsite machining services via two
trading companies, Roberts Pipeline Machining and Site Machining
Services. Glacier is focused on growth within its core UK market
and this investment funded the acquisition of a business that
provides heat exchanger repair and refurbishment services for the
offshore oil & gas industry.
A commitment has also been made to provide a fully secured
mezzanine loan to Maven Capital (Llandudno) to fund the
refurbishment of a hotel in North Wales with a long lease in place.
The transaction will provide an 8.65% running yield following
completion of the development.
Realisations
In March 2013, Maven led the successful partial exit from
Homelux Nenplas via the sale of the Homelux Division to US firm QEP
Company Inc. The disposal of Homelux was completed alongside a
secondary buy-out of Nenplas by Maven and the existing management
team. The remaining business, Nenplas Holdings, will focus on
continuing to deliver innovative extruded plastic products and
solutions and is expected to grow significantly over the next few
years through organic opportunities and by making new acquisitions.
Additional funding was provided in May 2013 to support the purchase
of a plastic extrusion business based in Worcestershire.
Also in March 2013, esure undertook a successful IPO, and a
realisation above the carrying value was crystallised in May, with
the majority of exit proceeds being received in cash alongside a
small element of stock that will be subject to the normal price
fluctuations associated with fully listed holdings.
There was one notable private company full exit during the
period with the sale of Atlantic Foods Group to the US based
Flagship Food Group completing in May 2013 for a 1.8 times return
on cost.
The Manager is currently engaged with investee companies and
prospective acquirers at various stages of a potential exit
process. This realisation activity reflects the increasing maturity
of a number of holdings, but it should be noted that there can be
no certainty that these discussions will lead to profitable
sales.

One private company was struck off the Register during the year
resulting in a realised loss of GBP104,000 (cost GBP104,000). This
had no effect on the NAV as a full provision had been made in
earlier periods
Other material developments
Following a serious fire at the Lawrence Recycling and Waste
Management plant in June 2013, which has adversely impacted upon
the company's trading prospects, the investment has been written
down pending further developments. The reduced value is reflected
in the statement of NAV at 30 June 2013.
Outlook
Your Company will continue to focus on investing at prudent
entry multiples in later-stage private companies with strong
management teams which are capable of paying regular income and
offer significant potential for capital growth. We believe this
strategy is the optimal approach to deliver future growth in
Shareholder value and to support a progressive dividend
programme.
