MAVEN INCOME AND GROWTH VCT 6 PLC

Interim Report For the Six Months Ended 30 September 2015

Corporate Summary

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.

Investment Objective

The Company aims to achieve long term capital appreciation and generate maintainable levels of income for Shareholders.

Continuation Date

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.

Share Dealing

Shares in the Company can be purchased and sold in the market through a stockbroker. For qualifying investors buying shares on the open market:

  • • dividends are free of income tax;
  • • no capital gains tax is payable on a disposal of shares;
  • • there is no minimum holding period;
  • • the value of shares, and income from them, can fall as well as rise;
  • • tax regulations and rates of tax may be subject to change;
  • • VCTs tend to be invested in smaller, unlisted companies with a higher risk profile; and
  • • the market for VCT shares can be illiquid.

The Broker to the Company is Shore Capital Stockbrokers (020 7647 8132).

Recommendation of Non-mainstream Investment Products

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 VCTs and the returns to investors are predominantly based on investments in private companies or publicly quoted securities.

Unsolicited Offers for Shares (Boiler Room Scams)

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:

  • • obtain the name of the individual or organisation calling;
  • • check the FCA register to confirm that the caller is authorised;
  • • call back using the details on the FCA Register to verify the caller's identity;
  • • discontinue the call if you are in any doubt about the intentions of the caller, or if calls persist; and
  • • report any individual or organisation that makes unsolicited calls with an offer to buy or sell shares to the FCA and the City of London Police.

7 Interim Management Report

Interim Review

Overview

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 private businesses and AIM/ISDX quoted companies with established revenue streams and strong growth potential. During the six month period to 30 September 2015, this strategy has delivered a further increase in NAV total return, to 60.4p 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 43 private companies, the majority of which are trading in line with plan and paying a regular yield. This revenue is an important component in your Company's ability to sustain tax-free distributions to Shareholders.

In June 2015, Maven was named as Private Equity House of the Year at the 2015 M&A Awards, one of the leading events in the corporate finance calendar. This category recognises private equity managers that have displayed the keenest judgement and opportunism in completing acquisitions or exit transactions during the year, including an acknowledgement of their contribution in increasing the value of investee businesses.

Maven was also shortlisted at the 2015 unquote" British Private Equity Awards in the VCT House of the Year category, whilst the 3.8 times cost exit achieved by your Company from EFC Group was nominated for VCT Exit of the Year.

Distributable Reserves and Dividends

Meaningful realisations have been achieved during the period under review, and the Company has maintained a small net surplus in its distributable reserves. Discussions are in progress regarding potential exits from a number of portfolio companies and, although there can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to profitable sales, any further disposals could generate additional capital gains which, along 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 2016 before making a decision on the proposal of a final dividend for the full year.

Portfolio Developments

The private equity portfolio has generally performed well, and strong trading results have led to valuation uplifts for a number of companies operating in a range of sectors. Crawford Scientific Holdings, a leading supplier of chromatography products and services, has performed well since Maven clients' initial investment in August 2014. The business has acquired and successfully integrated its analytical services partner, Hall Analytical Laboratories, which has contributed to a 46% year-on-year increase in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the twelve months to August 2015. The management team is confident that it can continue to grow each of Crawford's service and product lines over the coming financial year.

Highlights

NAV total return of 60.4p per share at 30 September 2015, up from 59.0p at 31 March 2015

NAV at period end of 58.6p per share after payment of the final dividend of 0.7p per share

Eight new investments added to the portfolio

Realisation of Steminic for a total return of 3.3 times cost

Exit from Six Degrees Group generating a total return of 2.1 times cost

Westway Services Holdings (2014), a provider of technical facility services, has a proven track record of delivering a reliable and quality service to its clients across a variety of planned and reactive maintenance projects. The business enjoys a longstanding relationship with M&S and, in light of recent contract wins, the directors expect revenues in the current financial year to exceed £55 million, compared to £39 million in the prior year.

Maven clients first invested in Just Trays (JT), the UK's leading manufacturer of shower trays and related accessories, in June 2014 and subsequently the business has increased its customer base and extended its product range. The JT brand has received a number of industry awards, including being recognised as Shower Brand of the Year at the inaugural BKU awards in July 2015.

CHS Engineering Services has enjoyed thirty years of steady growth as an independent service provider, delivering benefits to customers by identifying underlying defects in complex processing and manufacturing systems before they impact operations. Following on from the difficulties experienced in 2014, due to the loss of a significant contract, trading has recovered and is forecast to continue to improve.

SPS (EU), the UK's largest provider of promotional merchandise, has experienced excellent growth under private ownership since Maven clients supported the management buy-out in February 2014. In June 2015 SPS completed the self-funded complementary acquisition of High Profile, a manufacturer of bespoke products, increasing the product range and production capability of the business.

As well as reflecting good trading performance across the larger and more valuable assets, your Board has taken the prudent step of reducing the valuation of the holdings in ISN Solutions Group and R&M Engineering Group. In particular, your Board and the Manager continue to be mindful of the possible effects of the enduring low oil price on those companies in the portfolio that operate in the oil & gas service sector, and believe that the valuations of such companies remain fair and reasonable. Following the profitable sale of Steminic during the reporting period, and of XPD8 Solutions subsequent to the period end, your Company's exposure to this sector has been reduced.

New Investments

During the period under review, an investment in Nottinghamshire based Cursor Controls was added to the private equity portfolio. Cursor is widely recognised as a global market leading manufacturer of trackball pointing solutions which are used in a number of industrial applications.

Additionally, your Company invested in seven businesses incorporated by Maven in the food producers & processors, telecommunications, financial services, support services and technology sectors.

Realisations

In June 2015, Steminic (trading as MSIS) was sold to UK private equity house Primary Capital, achieving a 3.3 times total return on cost over the life of the investment. Maven clients first invested in Steminic in 2007 and provided additional funding in subsequent years to facilitate growth, enabling the business to more than double its revenues and increase profitability three fold during the period of investment.

Also in June, funds affiliated with Boston-based private equity firm Charlesbank Capital Partners entered into an agreement to acquire Six Degrees Group; exit proceeds were received during July, achieving a 2.1 times total return over the holding period.

1 Proceeds exclude yield and redemption premiums received, which are disclosed as revenue for financial reporting purposes. 2 Holding acquired and realised during the period.

The table includes the redemption of loan notes by a number of investee companies.

Two unlisted investments were struck off the Register during the period, resulting in realised losses of £59,000 (cost £59,000). This had no effect on the NAV as a full provision had been made in earlier periods.

Material Developments Since the Period End

Since 30 September 2015 follow-on investments have been completed in six existing portfolio companies and one new private company asset, GEV Group, has been added to the portfolio. This fast growing and diversified business has a core focus on the renewables sector and is highly regarded for its project delivery, quality of people and innovation in its products and processes. GEV is well positioned to capitalise on the projected global growth in wind power, driven by emissions and fossil fuel reduction targets. This acquisition was made in October 2015 by Braelaw, a new company established by Maven in December 2014 to invest in the industrials sector.

Also in October, energy services business XPD8 Solutions was sold to manufacturing company John Crane Group, a division of FTSE 100 listed Smiths Group plc, delivering a 1.75 times return to investors.

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, 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 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 met.

VCT Regulatory Developments

The 2015 Finance Bill received Royal Assent on 18 November 2015, bringing into statute the proposed changes to the parameters under which VCT schemes in the UK can invest. The Manager has been actively involved in the consultation process, engaged with both HM Treasury and the Association of Investment Companies, alongside other leading VCT managers.

Based on the track record of Maven's nationwide team in completing a wide range of private company transactions across the UK, the Manager remains confident it can continue to source suitable, VCT qualifying, investee companies to enable your Company to meet its investment objectives, whilst remaining compliant with the new rules.

Share Buy-backs

Shareholders have given the Board authority to buy back shares for cancellation or to be held in treasury, subject always to adequate distributable reserves and such transactions being in the best interests of all Shareholders. No Shares were bought back during the period under review.

Management and Administration Fees

HM Revenue & Customs has confirmed that VAT is no longer payable on performance and secretarial fees. The Manager has pursued the recovery of amounts paid previously and the total of £45,000 received has been reflected in the Financial Statements.

Distribution of Annual and Interim Reports

Shareholders are able to elect to receive postal or e-mail notification that documents, including Annual and Interim Reports, are available on the Company's website as an alternative to receiving hard copies by post. A letter of request was provided with the 2014 Annual Report, which Shareholders could complete to confirm whether or not they wished to take advantage of this facility. In the absence of a letter being returned, a Shareholder will have been deemed as having given their consent to receiving only postal notification that documents are available on the website. Therefore, Shareholders who have previously made an election for postal notification, or who elected not to respond, will have received notification by post of the publication of this Interim Report on the Company's website. Shareholders who wish notification to be sent by e-mail rather than by post should advise the Registrar via www.capitashareportal.com. Hard copies of all documents are available on request.

Dividend Investment Scheme (DIS)

On 24 August 2015 the Board announced that, under the Terms and Conditions of the Company's DIS which allow the Directors to suspend or terminate its operation without prior notice and revert to making monetary payments to all Participants, 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 was to allow the Directors and the Manager to review the final changes to the VCT legislation and to consider the full 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.

Offer for Subscription

On 3 November 2015, the Company announced its intention to launch an Offer for Subscription for New Ordinary Shares, of up to £15 million. Although, as referred to above, the Government has announced a number of significant changes to theVCT regulations that will restrict the types of investments that VCTs are able to make, the Board is confident that the Manager will be able to identify suitable investment opportunities for the Company within the new VCT regulations, in accordance with its investment strategy. A Prospectus containing full details of the proposed Offer is being prepared for publication in early 2016.

Board of Directors

Your Board has previously intimated its intention to implement a succession plan. As detailed in the 2015 Annual Report, and further to the appointment of Gregor Logan on 10 February 2015, Stephen Barclay stood down as a Director at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 3 September 2015 and Jonathan Carr has indicated that he will stand down and not seek re-election following conclusion of the AGM to be held in 2016. Any further changes to the constitution of the Board will be confirmed and communicated fully to Shareholders in due course, with each new Director being subject to re-election at the first AGM following their appointment.

Outlook

The Board, together with the Manager, has considered the impact of the changes to the VCT scheme in light of the new legislation. Whilst your Company will continue to focus on investing principally in established UK businesses, which are each capable of generating a high level of income and offer the potential to achieve capital appreciation on realisation, it is disappointing that it may be constrained in pursuing certain opportunities because of the age of the business or the transaction type. Nevertheless, the Board and the Manager believe that a strategy of investing in profitable and well managed companies will continue to deliver steady growth in Shareholder value and support a progressive dividend programme.
