Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2016
(Unaudited)
The Directors announce the unaudited interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2016.
Highlights
-- NAV total return of 140.53p per share at 30 June 2016,
compared to 140.16p at 31 December 2015
-- NAV at 30 June 2016 of 98.33p per share after payment of the
final dividend of 3.05p per share
-- New investment completed in The GP Service (UK)
-- Exit from Dantec Hose, generating a total return multiple of 2.1 times cost
-- Interim dividend declared of 2.20p per share (2015: 2.20p)
Overview
In the period under review NAV total return increased to 140.53p
per share. This is in line with your Company's continuing objective
of delivering long term capital appreciation whilst also generating
a maintainable level of income for Shareholders.
Your Board and the Manager recognise the importance of dividends
to Shareholders and, following the profitable realisations achieved
in the period, the Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend
of 2.20p per share for the period to 30 June 2016.
The portfolio now extends to more than 60 private and AIM quoted
company holdings, many of which are paying a regular yield,
offering a combination of income and revenue returns with the aim
of underpinning Shareholder value in the years ahead.
During the reporting period Maven has focused on the practical
implementation of the new VCT rules, which were enacted in November
2015 and detailed in the latest Annual Report. The revised
legislation brings the UK VCT scheme into line with European Union
(EU) State Aid Rules for smaller company investment and imposes a
number of restrictions on the types of transactions and companies
which VCTs are able to invest in, specifically prohibiting
participation in management buy-outs or acquisitions, and
supporting older companies unless certain criteria are met. Whilst
this means that your Company can no longer finance certain
transactions, the investment team has a strong track record of
investing development capital in companies which meet the revised
VCT qualification criteria.
Dividends
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 2.20p per Ordinary
Share, comprising 0.6p of revenue and 1.6p of capital, to be paid
on 30 September 2016 to Shareholders on the Register at 2 September
2016. Since the Company's launch, and after receipt of the interim
dividend, holders of Ordinary Shares will have received 44.4p per
share in tax-free dividends. The effect of paying the dividend will
be to reduce the NAV of the Company by the total cost of the
distribution.
On 24 August 2015 the Board announced that, under the Terms and
Conditions of the Company's Dividend Investment Scheme (DIS), the
Directors had resolved that, in light of the investment
restrictions proposed in the Government's July 2015 Budget, the DIS
was to be suspended with immediate effect. This would allow the
Directors and the Manager to review the changes to the VCT
legislation and to consider the potential impact of these on the
Company's future investment strategy. As a result, until further
notice, all future dividends will be paid to Shareholders by either
cheque or direct bank transfer using existing mandate
instructions.
Portfolio Developments
The private equity portfolio has generally performed well, with
positive trading results having led to valuation uplifts for a
number of companies operating across a range of sectors. The Board
has, however, elected to take provisions against the values of
certain investments in businesses with an exposure to the oil &
gas sector.
Nenplas, a manufacturer and distributor of plastic extrusions
for a variety of manufacturing applications, has continued to
perform ahead of plan due to operational efficiencies achieved
through the integration of Polyplas, increased sales volumes, lower
raw material costs and favourable market conditions particularly
within the leisure and mobile home sectors. The company has repaid
all of its senior debt and remains a highly cash generative and
valuable portfolio asset.
Cursor Controls, a global leader in the design and niche
manufacture of trackball pointing solutions for industrial
applications, has performed well since Maven clients invested in
July 2015. The business delivered impressive organic growth in the
year to 31 December 2015 and is forecast to build on this in the
current year. In April 2016 Cursor completed the acquisition of a
Belgian distributor, which is expected to be significantly earnings
enhancing.
The year to 31 December 2015 was another excellent trading
period for John McGavigan, a manufacturer and supplier of technical
plastic components and interior parts for the global automotive
industry. The first quarter of 2016 has continued this positive
trend, with further organic growth in both China and Scotland,
enhanced by the benefits of a number of productivity improvement
projects. The order book remains strong, providing increased
visibility of future revenues for the business.
Crawford Scientific, a leading supplier of chromatography
products and services, has traded ahead of plan since Maven
clients' initial investment in August 2014. During 2015 the
business acquired and successfully integrated analytical services
company Hall Analytical Laboratories which, alongside strong
trading within the core Crawford business, has contributed to
out-performance against the original investment case. The business
has fully repaid the debt used to fund the Hall acquisition and the
management team is continuing to grow each of Crawford's service
and product lines, with organic growth forecast to increase both
turnover and earnings in the year to 31 August 2016.
The UK's largest provider of promotional merchandise, SPS (EU),
has experienced excellent growth under private ownership since
Maven clients invested in February 2014. Operational improvements
have enhanced profitability, whilst organic growth has been
supplemented through two complementary acquisitions, High Profile
Plastic and TEC, both of which were completed in the year to 31
December 2015. The business is forecasting to deliver further
growth in the current financial year and make operational
efficiencies, as a result of the implementation of a new enterprise
resource planning system.
DPP provides planned and reactive mechanical, electrical,
maintenance and installation services, mainly to the leisure,
hospitality and retail sectors in the south of England and Wales.
The company differentiates itself from competitors by employing a
large and highly responsive team of skilled engineers. Following
the loss of a significant customer in 2014, the company
restructured its operations and has now secured a number of new
contracts, allowing the business to materially improve its trading
performance over the past twelve months.
Maven clients first invested in Just Trays, the UK's leading
manufacturer of shower trays and related accessories, in June 2014.
Subsequently the business has increased its customer base and
extended its product range, with a number of innovative new
products to be launched in the current financial year. Just Trays
repaid its bank debt in full during 2015 and is planning to invest
in automation in the coming year, which should help improve the
production facility and increase operating margins.
As well as reflecting good trading performance across the
portfolio, your Board and the Manager continue to be mindful of the
possible effects of the enduring low oil price on those companies
that operate in the oil & gas market. The Manager has worked
closely with these companies as they have implemented overhead
reduction programmes, targeted at reducing the cost base and
closing non-core operations, with a view to conserving cash and
positioning the businesses for recovery. Across the energy services
sector, budgets have been set conservatively based on the
expectation that the remainder of 2016 will continue to be
challenging, with recovery starting to feed through in 2017 as the
oil price stabilises and the pent up demand for essential
maintenance and repair work is released. In response to these
market conditions, the valuations of Glacier Energy Services
Holdings and HCS Control Systems Group have been reduced. The Board
and the Manager believe that the valuations of the remaining
portfolio assets with exposure to the energy services sector remain
fair and reasonable and the exit from Dantec Hose, along with a
number of other realisations in the previous reporting period, has
significantly reduced your Company's exposure to this sector. The
remaining assets in this sector are focused on the operational
expenditure segment of the industry, rather than being dependent on
large capital expenditure programmes or exploration projects.
New Investments
During the period, one new private company was added to the
portfolio:
-- The GP Service (UK) (GPS) is a provider of on-line services
for general medical consultations and prescriptions, delivered
through a web-based platform (www.thegpservice.co.uk), which offers
GP consultations via a video link with prescriptions issued to a
pharmacy of the user's choice. The investment will enable GPS to
accelerate the roll out of its service across new geographic
locations and to develop a range of products and services where
there are strong market drivers.
In addition, finance was provided to Maven Capital (Marlow), a
company formed to fund the acquisition and subsequent refurbishment
of a vacant office building in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.
The following investments have been completed during the

Realisations
A number of profitable realisations were achieved in the period.
Maven clients funded the management buy-out of Dantec Hose, a
manufacturer of flexible composite hoses used by a wide range of
industries, in September 2011. The business was acquired by an
overseas trade buyer and the sale completed in February 2016,
achieving a return of 2.1 times cost over the life of the
investment.
In January 2016 deferred consideration of GBP159,000 was
received in respect of the exit from Westway Services Holdings,
which completed in December 2015.
Subsequent to the period end, the Manager has been engaged with
several other 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 exits.

Material Developments Since the Period End
Since 30 June 2016, one new private company asset has been added
to the portfolio. In July, the Manager completed a transaction,
investing alongside NVM Private Equity, in Rockar, an innovative
motor retailer with a sector-disruptive technology platform. The
investment will enable Rockar to enhance its product offering and
finance new dealerships in major shopping centres, working in
partnership with brands including Hyundai and other well-known
automotive manufacturers.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were
set out in full in the Strategic Report contained within the 2015
Annual Report, and are the risks associated with investment in
small and medium sized unlisted and AIM/ISDX quoted companies
which, by their nature, carry a higher level of risk and lower
liquidity than investments in large quoted companies. The valuation
of investee companies may be affected by economic conditions, the
credit environment and other risks including legislation,
regulation, adherence to VCT qualifying rules and the effectiveness
of the internal controls operated by the Company and the Manager.
These risks and procedures are reviewed regularly by the Audit and
Risk Committees and reported to your Board. The Board has confirmed
that all tests, including the criteria for VCT qualifying status,
continue to be monitored and met.
Share Buy-backs
Shareholders have given the Board authority to buy back shares
for cancellation or to be held in treasury, subject always to such
transactions being in the best interests of Shareholders. It is
intended that, subject to market conditions, available liquidity
and the maintenance of the Company's VCT status, shares will be
bought back at prices representing a discount of up to 15% to the
prevailing NAV per share. During the period under review 296,000
shares were bought back at a total cost of GBP266,000.
Regulatory Developments
As detailed in the Annual Report, the July 2015 Budget received
Royal Assent on 18 November 2015, bringing into statute a number of
material changes to the legislation governing the UK VCT scheme and
aligning it with EU State Aid Rules for smaller company investment.
The new rules impose specific restrictions on the types of company
and transaction that VCTs are able to pursue in order to retain
qualifying status. As a further amendment, the March 2016 Budget
statement included an announcement that there would be changes to
the rules governing non-qualifying investments for VCTs. With
effect from 6 April 2016, VCTs are only permitted to make
qualifying investments and certain limited investments for
liquidity purposes, with other non-qualifying investments now being
prohibited. Given the complexity of the new rules, and in order to
ensure ongoing compliance, the Company continues to engage the
services of an adviser to assist in interpreting the revised
legislation in relation to proposed new transactions.
Since the announcement of the new rules Maven, along with other
leading VCT managers, has been engaged in a consultation process
which, through the industry representative body, the Association of
Investment Companies (AIC), has been in discussion with HM Treasury
to present the case for permitting an element of replacement
capital in certain circumstances in new VCT transactions. This
dialogue is ongoing and Shareholders will be kept up to date on any
new developments.
On 3 July 2016 the EU's Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) came into
force, replacing the Market Abuse Directive (MAD) in the UK, and is
now applicable to all UK Listed and AIM quoted companies. The
purpose of MAR is to enhance market integrity and investor
protection and, although on similar lines to MAD, its scope has
been expanded to include financial instruments traded on
multilateral trading facilities, organised trading facilities and
certain 'over-the-counter' activities. MAR will also introduce new
rules on the disclosure of inside information, insider lists and
share dealings by persons discharging managerial responsibilities.
Maven anticipates that compliance with MAR will not have a
significant impact on the activities of its VCT clients, but all
relevant policies and procedures have been updated as
appropriate.
Outlook
Shareholders will be aware of the result of the referendum in
which the electorate expressed the wish that the UK should leave
the EU. Although the full impact of this decision will become
clearer over the coming months, the businesses in which your
Company has invested will maintain or adapt their growth strategies
as appropriate, with many exporters seeing a potential short-term
benefit from the devaluation of sterling against several major
currencies which has occurred at the date of this report.
The Directors are mindful that the limitations applied by the
introduction of the revised legislation have imposed a number of
restrictions on the types of business and transaction in which VCTs
can invest. This will require the Manager to focus on the provision
of development capital or investing in younger businesses with
growth capital requirements, at the expense of the management
buy-out or acquisition based transactions that have traditionally
offered more predictable returns. Your Board remains confident that
the experienced investment resource available to the Manager across
its national office network remains capable of sourcing high
quality opportunities which will comply with the amended rules,
whilst continuing to meet Maven's rigorous in-house investment
criteria.
Notwithstanding these recent changes in VCT legislation, your
Board remains committed to deliver against its core objectives of
achieving long term capital appreciation and generating
maintainable levels of income for Shareholders from a portfolio of
private company holdings which offer the ability to pay a regular
yield to your Company along with the prospect of realising a
capital gain at exit.
