Interim Report For the Six Months Ended 30 September 2014
Maven Income and Growth VCT 6 PLC is a venture capital trust (VCT) and its shares are listed on the Premium segment of the Official List and traded on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. It has one class of share and was incorporated on 2 November 1999.
The Company aims to achieve long term capital appreciation and generate maintainable levels of income for Shareholders.
The Articles of Association require the Directors to put a proposal for the continuation of the Company, in its then form, to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2020, and thereafter, at five yearly intervals.
The Company currently conducts its affairs so that the shares issued by it can be recommended by authorised financial advisers to ordinary retail investors in accordance with the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in relation to non-mainstream investment products and intends to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
The Company's shares are excluded from the FCA's restrictions which apply to non-mainstream investment products because they are shares in a VCT and the returns to investors are predominantly based on investments in private companies or publicly quoted securities.
Shares in the Company can be purchased and sold in the market through a stockbroker. For qualifying investors buying shares on the open market:
The Stockbroker to the Company is Shore Capital Stockbrokers (020 7647 8132).
Shareholders in a number of UK registered companies have received unsolicited calls from organisations, usually based overseas or using false UK addresses or phone lines routed abroad, offering to buy shares at prices much higher than their current market values or to sell non-tradable, overpriced, high risk or even nonexistent securities.
Whilst the callers may sound credible and professional, Shareholders should be aware that their intentions are often fraudulent and high pressure sales techniques may be applied, often involving a request for an indemnity or a payment to be provided in advance. If you receive such a call, you should exercise caution and, based on advice from the FCA, the following precautions are suggested:

The continuing objective for your Company is to achieve long term capital appreciation and generate maintainable levels of income for Shareholders, by investing in a diversified portfolio of later-stage private businesses and AIM/ISDX quoted companies with established revenue streams and strong growth potential. During the six month period to 30 September 2014, a combination of valuation uplifts, investment returns and realisation proceeds has contributed to a further increase in NAV total return to 58.4p per share.
During the reporting period, the Maven team has continued to source suitable investment opportunities in profitable businesses across the UK and the asset base now includes 38 private companies, the majority of which are trading in line with, or ahead of, plan and paying a regular yield. This revenue is an important component in your Company's ability to sustain an attractive level of tax-free distributions to Shareholders.
Three significant new private company holdings were added to the portfolio during the six month period. Maven supported the buy-in/management buy-out of RMEC Group in April 2014 and, in June 2014, led a secondary buy-out of Just Trays from Gresham Private Equity. Most recently, an investment was completed in Crawford Scientific Holdings, a long established specialist in chromatography processes.
Meaningful realisations have been achieved during the period under review, with the Company now in a position where it has a small net surplus in its distributable reserves. Discussions are in progress regarding potential exits from a number of portfolio companies and, while there can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to profitable sales, any further disposals could generate additional capital gains which, combined with any surplus revenue, may enable further dividend payments to be made to Shareholders.
The Board does not propose to declare an interim dividend, but will consider the status of the Company's reserves as at 31 March 2015 before making a decision on the proposal of a final dividend for the full year.
The private equity portfolio has generally performed well and a number of companies, including several of the most recent investments, are performing ahead of plan and becoming valuable assets for your Company. Torridon (Gibraltar), trading through its subsidiary Elite Insurance, offers specialist insurance solutions and exceptional service across a range of general insurance classes. Its experienced in-house underwriting teams, delivering bespoke proposals supported by a full risk assessment and effective decision-making, have also established Elite as a market leading provider of legal expenses insurance. The team has continued to expand the product range, and currently offers over eighty lines across Europe, covering before-the-event, after-the-event and clinical negligence.
NAV total return of 58.4p per share at 30 September 2014, an increase of 2.5% from 57.0p at 31 March 2014
NAV at period end of 57.3p per share after payment of the final dividend of 0.6p per share
Three new investments added to the portfolio
Realisation of Adler and Allan Holdings for a total return of 2.6 times cost
Exit from Fotolec Technologies, generating cash proceeds of £319,000
HCS Control Systems Group, which specialises in the design, manufacture and testing of equipment for the global subsea industry, has a strategy to grow through expansion into key markets and has achieved a number of milestones since the investment by Maven clients in June 2013. Trading results have exceeded expectations and the business has won several new contracts, including a multi-million pound project to provide services for the BP Quad 204 development off the coast of Shetland.
Nenplas Holdings has continued to perform ahead of plan due to operational efficiencies achieved following the integration of Polyplas, increased sales volumes and favourable market conditions. This has led to an uplift in the valuation and a second acquisition was completed during November 2014.
Following an initial investment in December 2013, additional funding has been provided to D Mack to develop its range of passenger car tyres. The company's profile has been boosted by exceptional performances at the 2014 World Rally Championship events.
Conversely, some companies have seen trading below plan and, in light of current performance, your Board has taken the prudent step of reducing the valuation of the holdings in CHS Engineering Services and DPP.
During the period, alongside follow-on investments supporting the development of existing portfolio companies, your Company participated in three new private equity transactions:

At the period end, the portfolio stood at 48 unlisted and quoted investments at a total cost of £2.6 million.
The mezzanine loan provided to Tuscola (FC100) was repaid in full during May 2014, and your existing portfolio company Kelvinlea acquired Moriond in June 2014 in a transaction that will create synergies in the marketing process as the remaining residential properties held by both companies are sold.
In August 2014, the legacy holding in Fotolec Technologies was sold at above carrying value, and a profitable realisation was achieved in September 2014 when specialist environmental services business Adler and Allan Holdings was acquired by UK private equity house LDC for a 2.6 times return on cost. Maven clients first invested in Adler and Allan in 2007, alongside Spirit Capital Partners, to support the company's growth and have since backed a series of acquisitions to help the group gain scale and grow shareholder value.

Since 30 September 2014, two follow-on investments have been completed in existing portfolio companies, including the provision of funding to complete a secondary buy-out of Westway Services Holdings (2010), and one new private company asset has also been added to the portfolio. In October 2014 a new investment was completed in Endura, a fast-growing designer and manufacturer of branded apparel for the key cycling categories of mountain, road, performance and leisure. Endura products are sold in over 30 countries and it is currently the largest specialist brand in the UK market. This transaction was led by Penta Capital, an established private equity firm with which Maven previously co-invested in esure, Six Degrees Group and Global Risk Partners.
Subsequent to the year end, Camwatch was sold at close to carrying value to VPS Holdings, a leader in the European vacant property services market.
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were set out in full in the Strategic Report contained within the 2014 Annual Report, and are the risks associated with investment in small and medium sized unlisted and AIM/ISDX quoted companies, which by their nature, entail a higher risk and lower liquidity than investments in large quoted companies. The valuation of investee companies may be affected by economic conditions and the credit environment, and other risks include 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 your Board, and the Board has confirmed that all tests, including the criteria for VCT qualifying status, continue to be met.
In September 2013, the Company announced that it planned to raise up to £1 million in a joint Offer for Subscription alongside the other Maven VCTs. The Offer, which included an over-allotment facility to allow the Company to raise a further £0.25 million, was fully subscribed by 4 April 2014, and closed on 5 April 2014 in relation to the tax year 2013/14. The Offer was extended, and subsequently closed on 30 May 2014 for the tax year 2014/15, resulting in the issue of a total of 1,923,750 Ordinary Shares, raising an additional £1.05 million of capital, before expenses.
As a consequence, the Company has a relatively higher amount of cash available for investment under the VCT 'new money' rules than the other Maven VCTs. Therefore, the Board has elected not to participate in the Maven VCT Offers launched on 20 October 2014.
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. No Shares were bought back during the period under review.
The AIFM Directive came into force on 21 July 2011 and was implemented within the UK on 22 July 2013. The Board and the Manager engaged legal advisers to ensure that the impact of the legislation had been considered fully, and the Board has taken the decision to register Maven Income and Growth VCT 6 PLC as a self-managed small registered AIFM. This has enabled the Company to take advantage of the reduced reporting requirements and avoid the direct and indirect costs of appointing a depositary. The Company was registered on 22 July 2014 and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the Directive.
The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) has participated in a consultation process aimed at ensuring the Government's continued long-term support for the VCT sector by addressing concerns from HM Treasury that enhanced share buy-back (EBB) schemes conflict with the public policy objectives of VCTs. Whilst the buying back and cancellation of shares will continue to be permitted, EBBs are now prohibited.
HM Treasury had published draft legislation to address its concerns about the use of share premium accounts to return capital to investors, which will prevent VCTs returning capital within three years of the accounting period in which the shares were issued. These changes were effective from 6 April 2014 but, as the provisions may have affected the ability to pay dividends out of reserves created from the reduction of share premium or capital where the VCT had issued shares of the same class before and after 5 April 2014, the AIC sought clarification on this matter. HM Treasury has confirmed that the new rule will apply only in respect of returns of capital from shares issued on or after 6 April 2014, and the draft legislation was amended prior to receiving Royal Assent in July 2014.
As detailed in the 2014 Annual Report, a number of Shareholders have expressed an interest in receiving notification, by post or e-mail, that documents, including annual and interim reports, are available on the Company's website as an alternative to receiving them by post. A letter of request was included with the 2014 Annual Report for Shareholders to complete and return to confirm whether or not they wished to take advantage of this facility, and indicating that, if it was not returned, they would be deemed as having given their consent to receiving only postal notifications that documents are available on the website. As a result, if no such letter of request was submitted, Shareholders will have received notification by post of the publication of this Interim Report on the Company's website. Shareholders who wish notifications to be sent by e-mail rather than by post should complete and return the form enclosed with this Interim Report or advise the Registrar via the Share Portal at www.capitashareportal.com. Hard copies of all documents are available on request.
The Directors intend to implement a Dividend Reinvestment Scheme through which Shareholders may elect to have their dividend payments used to apply for additional Ordinary Shares issued by the Company under the standing authority requested from Shareholders at Annual General Meetings. Details of the scheme, and an application form, will be issued in advance of the payment of any final dividend for the year ending 31 March 2015.
In the 2014 Annual Report, your Board intimated its intention to implement a succession plan and, as indicated previously, Stephen Barclay will stand down and not seek re-election at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held in 2015. It is also intended that, subject to Shareholders' approval for his re-election at that AGM, Jonathan Carr will stand down at the subsequent AGM in 2016 and the Directors are currently considering a number of candidates as potential replacements. The appointment of new Directors and the future constitution of the Board will be confirmed and communicated fully to Shareholders in due course, with each new Director being subject to re-election by Shareholders at the first AGM following their appointment.
Your Company will continue to focus on investing at attractive entry values in established UK businesses that are capable of generating income and have significant potential for capital appreciation. The Board and the Manager believe this strategy continues to be the optimal approach for supporting a progressive dividend programme and delivering consistent growth in Shareholder value.
