The Company has excess management charges of approximately  GBPnil (2010:  GBP190,000) 
to carry forward to offset against future taxable profits. 
 
Approved VCTs are exempt from tax on capital gains within the Company.  Since 
the Directors intend that the Company will continue to conduct its affairs so as 
to maintain its approval as a VCT, no current deferred tax has been provided in 
respect of any capital gains or losses arising on the revaluation or disposal of 
investments.

The final dividend of 1.5p per share for the year ended 31 January 2011, subject 
to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting, will be paid on 8 July 
2011 to shareholders on the register on 10 June 2011. 
 
8.         Earnings per share 
The revenue per share is based on the revenue profit after tax of  GBP132,000 
(2010:  GBP135,000) and on 8,693,486 (2010: 8,751,722) shares, being the weighted 
average number of shares in issue during the year. 
 
The capital per share is based on the capital profit after tax of  GBP70,000 (2010: 
 GBP171,000) and on 8,693,486 (2010: 8,751,722) shares, being the weighted average 
number of shares in issue during the year. 
 
The total earnings per share is based on total profit after tax of  GBP202,000 
(2010:  GBP306,000) and on 8,693,486 (2010: 8,751,722) shares, being the weighted 
average number of shares in issue during the year. 
 
There are no potentially dilutive capital instruments in issue and, as such, the 
basic and diluted earnings per share are therefore identical. 
 
9.        Net asset value per share 
 
The calculation of NAV per share as at 31 January 2011 is based on net assets of 
 GBP8,020,000  (2010:  GBP8,167,000) divided by the 8,693,486 (2010: 8,693,486) shares 
in issue at that date. 
 
10.        Fixed asset investments at fair value through profit or loss 
 
Effective  from 1 January  2009 the Company  adopted the  amendment to Financial 
Reporting  Standard  29 Financial  Instruments:  Disclosures regarding financial 
instruments  that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value; this requires 
disclosure  of  fair  value  measurements  by  level of the following fair value 
measurement hierarchy: 
 
Level  1: quoted prices in active markets  for identical assets and liabilities. 
The  fair value of  financial instruments traded  in active markets  is based on 
quoted  market prices at the balance sheet  date. A market is regarded as active 
if quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and those prices represent 
actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The 
quoted  market price used  for financial assets  held is the  current bid price. 
These  instruments  are  included  in  level  1 and  comprise money market funds 
classified as held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). 
 
Level  2: the fair  value of  financial instruments  that are  not traded  in an 
active  market  is  determined  by  using  valuation techniques. These valuation 
techniques maximise the use of observable date where it is available and rely as 
little  as  possible  on  entity  specific  estimates. If all significant inputs 
required  to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included 
in level 2. The Company holds no such investment in the current or prior year. 
 
Level  3: the fair  value of  financial instruments  that are  not traded  in an 
active  market (for example investments in  unquoted companies) is determined by 
using  valuation techniques such  as earnings multiples.  If one or  more of the 
significant  inputs is  not based  on observable  market data, the instrument is 
included in level 3. 
 
There  have been no transfers between these classifications in the period (2010: 
none).  The change in fair value for the current and previous year is recognised 
through the profit and loss account. 
 
All  items  held  at  FVTPL  were  designated  as such upon initial recognition. 
Movements  in  investments  at  FVTPL  during  the  year  to 31 January 2011 are 
summarised below.

Level 3 valuations include assumptions based on non-observable market data, such 
as  discounts applied either to  reflect fair value of  financial assets held at 
the  price of  recent investment,  or, in  the case  of unquoted investments, to 
adjust  earnings multiples. The sensitivity of  these valuations to a reasonable 
possible change in such assumptions is given in note 16. 
 
The loan and equity investments are considered to be one instrument due to them 
being bound together. This is consistent with their investment policy.
