Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report another period of progress for your Company, continuing the improvement in NAV Total Return achieved since the sharp downturn in 2008. Whilst economic conditions remain difficult and investors' confidence is fragile, the Board is recommending payment of an enhanced interim dividend in recognition of the Company's performance and its confidence in your portfolio of investments.

Your Company's strategy remains firmly focussed on constructing a broadly based portfolio of mature and profitable private companies, each with a proven business model and the ability to pay income at an early stage alongside the potential to generate capital gains in the medium term.

Recent scarcity of bank debt has improved the range and quality of investment opportunities available to generalist VCTs. In this environment the Manager has sought out opportunities across its UK network to invest in competitively priced private companies, typically with modest levels of debt, to help insulate their trading capability in the face of any deterioration in the UK economy.

During the six month reporting period, four new substantial and established income producing private company assets have been added to the portfolio, across a range of sectors, along with seven follow-on investments intended to continue the development of existing portfolio companies.

Performance

  • Total Return on Ordinary Shares of 104.15p per share at the period end, up 3.8% over the six months
  • NAV at period end of 79.2p per Ordinary Share after payment of final dividend of 2.5p
  • Interim dividend declared of 1.75p per Ordinary Share, up from 1.5p in 2010
  • Four new later stage, yielding investments added during the period and one further investment completed in June 2011.

The most important measure of performance for a VCT is the NAV total return, being the long term record of dividend payments out of income and capital gains combined with the current NAV. The NAV in isolation is a less important measure of performance as the underlying investments are long-term in nature and not readily realisable.

Dividend

The Board is declaring an interim dividend of 1.75p per Ordinary Share to be paid on 25 August 2011 to Shareholders on the Register at 5 August 2011.

The Company paid dividends totalling 4.0p per share to Ordinary Shareholders in respect of the year ended 30 November 2010; this represents a yield of 5% on an initial effective investment of 80p (after initial tax relief of 20% is taken into account) and is equivalent to a gross yield of 6.7% for a higher rate taxpayer from a taxable UK equity. For former C Ordinary Shareholders, who were entitled to 40% tax relief, the equivalent yield is 7.9%. Since the Company's launch, Ordinary Shareholders have received 24.95p per share in tax free dividends. The effect of paying the proposed interim dividend of 1.75p will be to reduce the NAV to 77.5p per share.

The Board is pursuing a policy of targeting annual dividends of either 4p per Ordinary Share or 50% of the uplift in NAV, whichever is the greater, subject to maintaining the NAV at around 100p per share in the longer term and, of course, to the availability of distributable reserves. The Board believes that this policy, combined with continuing sound performance, should stimulate the secondary market in the Company's shares and lead to a narrowing of the current discount to NAV.

Secondary purchase of shares

Buyers of shares in the secondary market via the London Stock Exchange receive all dividends and capital gains tax free and, although they do not receive the benefit of the income tax relief at subscription, are instead able to acquire stock in an established VCT at a discount to the NAV. Despite this, the volume of the Company's shares being traded on the stock market remains modest. Against a continuing background of low interest rates and a top rate of income tax of 50%, potential buyers should find the increased dividend a further incentive to buy shares. The annual yield on the share price is currently 7.7%, which to a higher rate taxpayer is equivalent to a yield of 10.3% from a taxable UK equity. In the hands of an investor paying the top rate of income tax, the equivalent yield is 12.1%.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Board has reviewed the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company, which are set out in the Annual Report. In order to mitigate risk, the Company has invested in a broadly based portfolio of investments largely in unlisted companies in the UK. The portfolio of investments in the AIM market is reducing as the unlisted portfolio is further developed.

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 status are met. The Board can confirm that all tests continue to be met.

Linked Offer

The Maven Linked VCT Offer 2 resulted in the issue of 1,512,311 new shares, raising an additional £1,206,824 for investment at a cost of only 2.5% of total funds raised. The Company may use the money raised for paying dividends and general running costs, thereby preserving for investment purposes an equivalent sum of valuable 'old money' which operates under more advantageous VCT regulations.

VCT legislation

In March of this year the Chancellor announced new proposals which would have the effect of broadening the range of investments available to VCTs, which we fully support. These changes, which reflect the importance of VCTs to smaller enterprises in the UK, are subject to EU State Aid approval. The Association of Investment Companies, of which your Company is a member, will continue to support the VCT industry in the ongoing discussions with the EU.

Outlook

The Board is encouraged by the improvement in the investment portfolio in recent years. The focus on later stage private equity transactions has helped to diversify and expand the portfolio and is now producing increments in NAV. The exposure to AIM has been significantly reduced and capital deployed in income producing private companies. The Board firmly believes that the current climate for raising capital in the UK will continue to present your Company with opportunities to build its exposure to this type of business using the national presence and capabilities of the Manager. Over time this will help to create a better risk profile for investors and build a revenue base which can deliver an attractive level of regular tax free dividends to Shareholders. The increased interim dividend this year is an indication of the Board's confidence in the portfolio, and the prospects for future income generation and capital gain.

Investment Manager's Review

Investment activity

During the period ended 31 May 2011, four new unlisted investments and seven follow-on investments were completed and a total of £1.9 million was invested. At the period end, the portfolio stood at 65 unlisted and AIM investments at a total cost of £20.4 million.

The following investments were completed during the period.

Maven Income and Growth VCT 3 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 4, Maven Income and Growth VCT 5 (formerly Bluehone AiM VCT2 PLC), Talisman First Venture Capital Trust and Ortus VCT, and is expected to continue to co-invest with these as well as other clients of the Manager. The advantage is that in aggregate the VCTs are able to underwrite a wider range and size of transaction than would be the case on a stand alone basis.

Portfolio developments

Four new substantial unlisted investments were added to the portfolio during the period under review:

  • Attraction World Holdings, which offers ticketing solutions to the worldwide travel sector, enjoys exclusive trading partnerships with key UK travel organisations and provides travel agents with integrated access to the ticketing systems of major global theme parks;
  • CHS Engineering Services, a leading provider of condition monitoring and maintenance services for domestic and international airport terminal operators and major clients in the distribution and materials handling sector
  • John McGavigan, a manufacturer and supplier of decorative assemblies and interior parts to global automotive manufacturers, has a significant share of the Western European market and a strategy to establish a low cost manufacturing operation in China, where it can leverage the overseas experience of its management team to serve the wider Asian markets
  • Glacier Energy Services, a newly formed oil and gas services group with two specialist trading subsidiaries, Roberts Pipeline Machining and Wellclad. Roberts designs and manufactures on-site portable cutting machines for blue chip oil and gas clients. Wellclad provides services to the European offshore and subsea equipment market. Glacier will focus on growth within its core UK market as well as promoting its technologies to the international energy services market.

There was one additional investment made after the period end:

• Space Student Living is a provider of contracted management services across the student housing sector, offering a fully integrated accommodation solution covering a range of activities from the initial identification of sites, through overseeing the planning and development phases, to ultimately managing the accommodation under long term contract.

Two unlisted companies were struck off the Register during the year, resulting in a realised loss of £381,000. This had no effect on the NAV as a full provision had been made in earlier years.

In addition repayments of loan stock were received from some investee companies as shown on the table on page 9.

In respect of AIM holdings the Manager has continued its policy of pursuing a structured exit from this part of the portfolio and total AIM holdings now represent less than 5% of the overall portfolio valuation. Four AIM securities were purchased by a close ended investment company established to acquire investments which are underperforming or trading below entry price. These transactions incurred realised losses of £273,000 (cost £338,000) during the period. The overall net loss was incurred after including the impact of disposals where either Maven had lost confidence in a specific holding or a mandatory sale process or bid event was in evidence. There was no impact on the NAV as realisations were achieved at carrying value.

Investments in the unlisted portfolio are generally trading well and increased valuations have been achieved where appropriate. In a number of cases the Manager is also 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 this activity will ultimately lead to profitable sales.

The table on page 9 gives details of realisations during the reporting period.

Outlook

Recent years have seen the elimination of many of the small holdings in AIM listed companies which offered increasingly poor liquidity, low yield and limited growth potential. The investee company portfolio now consists of mainly private company assets with the majority trading well and generating significant yield for the Company. The further development of this income producing portfolio is the cornerstone of the strategy to continue to improve Shareholder return, and with a strong pipeline of new later stage deals in due diligence at the time of writing, this augurs well for the future prospects of the Company and its ability to maintain a consistent flow of tax free dividends to Shareholders.
