Interim Report for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2019
Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC (the Company) is a public limited company limited by shares. It was incorporated in Scotland on 26 August 2004 with company registration number SC272568. Its registered office is at Kintyre House, 205 West George Street, Glasgow G2 2LW. The Company 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.
The Company is a small registered, internally managed alternative investment fund under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).
The Company aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation and generate income for Shareholders.
The Articles of Association (Articles) require the Directors to put a proposal for the continuation of the Company, in its then form, to Shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held in 2024 or, if later, at the Annual General Meeting following the fifth anniversary of the latest allotment of new shares.
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 Broker to the Company is Shore Capital Stockbrokers (020 7647 8132).
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 that apply to nonmainstream 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.
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-tradeable, overpriced, high-risk or even non-existent 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:

NAV total return at 30 June 2019 of 146.33p per share

Substantial pipeline of prospective new investments, with a number in advanced process

Good progress has been made by your Company in the first half of the financial year and the Board is pleased to report a further increase in NAV total return. This was driven principally by valuation uplifts, reflecting the positive performance of a number of portfolio companies, and two significant realisations that completed in June 2019. It was also a busy period for investment activity, with seven new and nine follow-on transactions completed, consistent with the strategic objective of constructing a large and diversified portfolio of private and AIM quoted companies that offer the prospect of capital gain. The Manager continues to experience strong levels of new investment opportunities sourced from across the Maven office network, and it is anticipated that the second half of the year will see further progress in portfolio expansion and development. In light of this performance, the Directors have declared an interim dividend of 2.00p per share.
The Company is continuing to build a large and varied portfolio of investments across a range of attractive industry sectors, notably software, fintech, healthcare and speciality manufacturing. The Manager's regional network now extends to twelve offices across the UK, with a team of executives who have extensive experience in the management of private company holdings, as well as a dedicated AIM team. Maven has developed positive working relationships with other VCT managers and investors, and will continue to co-invest as part of a syndicate in order to build as broadly based a portfolio as possible.
It is encouraging to report that, despite the ongoing political and economic uncertainty, Maven continues to see both a strong pipeline of new opportunities, and no discernible impact on the current portfolio holdings. Maven will continue to apply a highly selective approach to investment, only supporting companies that offer a combination of management talent and proven ability, in tandem with a compelling or disruptive business model, where the opportunity offers prospective returns commensurate with the early-stage nature of VCT investment.
Maven also maintains an active relationship with the management team of every investee company, often appointing a new chairman as well as a senior Maven executive to the board. This approach helps to add skills and experience, whilst also allowing the Manager to closely monitor performance and assist with strategic planning, to help each business grow and generate shareholder value.
As Shareholders will be aware from recent Annual and Interim Reports, decisions on distributions take into consideration the availability of surplus revenue, the realisation of capital gains, the adequacy of distributable reserves and the VCT qualifying level of the portfolio. These factors are kept under close and regular review by the Board and the Manager, who both recognise the importance of tax-free distributions to Shareholders. During 2017 and 2018, your Company made a number of enhanced dividend payments, which occurred outwith the normal dividend payment pattern and were the result of a build-up of distributable reserves and the requirement to maintain ongoing compliance with the VCT regulations. Whilst your Company does not have a specific dividend target, the Directors recognise that an extended period of time has elapsed since the latest dividend was paid and have elected to pay an interim dividend of 2.00p per Ordinary Share, which is more aligned to historic distribution levels.
The interim dividend in respect of the year ending 31 December 2019 will be paid on 4 October 2019 to Shareholders on the register at 6 September 2019. Since the Company's launch, and after receipt of this latest dividend, 75.60p per share will have been distributed in tax-free dividends. It should be noted that the effect of paying dividends is to reduce the NAV of the Company by the total cost of the distribution.
As the portfolio continues to evolve, and a greater proportion of holdings are invested in young companies as required by the VCT regulations, there are likely to be fluctuations in the quantum and timing of future dividend payments, which may become more closely associated with realisation activity. The Board and the Manager will continue to monitor this carefully, in line with your Company's investment objective.
As highlighted in the 2018 Annual Report, the Directors proposed a Special Resolution at the Annual General Meeting held on 15 May 2019 to seek approval from Shareholders to cancel the share premium account and the capital redemption reserve of the Company, pursuant to the Companies Act 2006, to create a further pool of distributable reserves that could be used for future dividends or any purpose for which the Company's profits available for distribution could be applied. This Resolution was duly passed, and an application was made to the Scottish Court to have this change to the Balance Sheet sanctioned, confirmation of which was announced by the Company on 21 August 2019.
Your Company has in place a DIS, through which Shareholders may elect to have their dividend payments used to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares issued by the Company under the standing authority requested from Shareholders at Annual General Meetings. Shares issued under the DIS should qualify for VCT tax relief applicable for the tax year in which they are allotted, subject to an individual Shareholder's particular circumstances. If a Shareholder is in any doubt about the merits of participating in the DIS, or their own tax status, they should seek advice from a suitably qualified adviser.
Shareholders who wish to participate in the DIS in respect of future dividends, including the interim payment declared above, should ensure that a DIS mandate or CREST instruction, as appropriate, is received by the Registrar (Link Market Services) in advance of 20 September 2019, this being the next dividend election date. The mandate form, terms & conditions and full details of the scheme (including further details about tax considerations) are available from the Company's website at www.mavencp.com/migvct4. A DIS election can also be made using the Registrar's share portal at www.signalshares.com.
During the first half of the financial year, the majority of the companies in the portfolio have generally traded in line with expectations. Your Company is building a diverse portfolio of early-stage assets that operate in growth markets, providing products and services to a wide range of end users, often through a disruptive or innovative technology-led approach. These early-stage companies have generally made satisfactory progress, achieving the milestones set out at the time of the original investment. With regard to the more established companies, it is encouraging to report that the majority have continued to perform well, and help to provide balance to the overall portfolio composition.
CB Technology, an assembler and tester of high-end printed circuit boards used in industrial and semiconductor markets, continues to make good progress, building on the positive performance achieved in the previous year. Following a period of investment, the business is well positioned to further expand its client base, with a strong order book providing good visibility on the outturn for the financial year to 31 March 2020.
In 2013, your Company participated in a syndicate to invest in Global Risk Partners, backing a highly experienced management team to pursue a buy & build strategy in the speciality insurance and reinsurance markets. The business has achieved considerable scale since launch, having completed and successfully integrated 56 acquisitions, with the enlarged group now achieving gross written premium in excess of £700 million per annum. Global Risk Partners is now the second largest independent insurance broker in the UK and the outlook remains positive, with a strong pipeline of acquisition opportunities currently under review. This is a valuable holding within the portfolio, with the underlying business well placed for future growth and having the potential to become an attractive acquisition target.
In light of the continued improvement in market conditions within the oil & gas sector, the majority of portfolio companies with exposure are recording increased levels of sales, higher profitability and improving order books, building on the improvements of 2018. Following a sustained period of positive trading and a recovery in profitability, the provision taken against HCS Control Systems, a specialist designer, manufacturer and assembler of subsea systems, has been reversed. The Manager will continue to monitor the progress of sector assets through the second half of the year.
Curo Compensation, a developer of advanced software-as-aservice (SaaS) solutions to manage the annual financial compensation cycle for corporate clients, has made good progress since the initial investment in December 2017. The company has a diverse client base including Bupa, Compass Group, Sage and Virgin Atlantic, and is focused on increasing its customer base and annual contract value. Additional funding was provided to help support growth, specifically through the recruitment of a number of experienced individuals and the planned expansion into the North American market.
Your Company first invested in ITS Technology, a developer and operator of full fibre digital networks for urban and rural areas, in July 2017. Since investment, the business has achieved scale by expanding its network base and now serves over 1,400 customers.
Visual asset management services group Whiterock continues to make positive progress in line with the core objectives identified at the time of original investment. Since 2016, the business has developed its technology platform and secured a number of material contracts with international blue-chip clients, representing a strong endorsement of the product and its capabilities. Follow-on funding was provided to the company in July 2018 to support growth, and the outlook for the current year is encouraging.
Following contract delays, further funding was provided to Cognitive Geology to support the company as it develops new opportunities, albeit the investment was completed at a lower valuation, reflective of the slower than anticipated progress.
The Board and the Manager remain optimistic in the long-term potential of the early stage assets, acknowledging that, whilst the growth path of younger companies is more difficult to predict, those that achieve scale should be capable of generating substantial Shareholder value.
The Directors and the Manager continue to pursue an active policy with respect to liquidity management and the nonqualifying holdings in investment trusts and will continue to consider a range of other income generating investment options permitted under the VCT regulations.
During the period, your Company provided development capital to five fast-growing private companies that offer investors the prospect of significant capital growth:
Honcho Markets has developed an innovative app-based platform that aims to redefine how consumers purchase insurance products by providing a transparent, costeffective and engaging way of buying car, home, contents, travel or pet cover. The app uses a reverse auction marketplace, which enables insurance companies to actively and transparently bid for consumers' business, ensuring a quote that puts the customer's interests first and reduces premiums. The platform will initially be launched within the highly competitive motor insurance market, with a view to expanding into personal lines at a future date.
Mojo Mortgages is an FCA authorised mortgage broker that has developed an integrated platform, enabling customers to complete their mortgage search and full application process online. The company is focused on improving the user experience and, in particular, reducing the length of time a mortgage application takes to complete. The funding will be used to support marketing activities, raise the company's profile and recruit additional staff to help further develop the technology platform.
In addition, two new AIM quoted investments were added to the portfolio:

1 Part of liquidity management strategy.
At the period end, the portfolio stood at 79 unlisted and quoted investments, at a total cost of £36.87 million.
During the period under review, two notable exits were completed. Renewable energy services group GEV, which specialises in wind turbine blade maintenance, had made encouraging progress since investment in December 2014. GEV achieved significant growth in its largest market, the US, including securing contracts with MHI Vestas, Eon, Siemens and Invenergy, as well as projects in the UK and Europe. Given the positive performance, the management team, with the support of the Maven appointed board representative, engaged with a corporate finance adviser and initiated a process to market the business for sale. Following a competitive process, an offer was accepted from Bridges Fund Management, a
private equity buyer, with the transaction completing in June 2019, which resulted in a total return of 2.7 times cost being achieved over the holding period.
In June 2019, your Company also realised its holding in Just Trays, the UK's leading designer and manufacturer of shower trays and related accessories. Since completion of the investment in 2014, Just Trays had continued to deliver growth in line with its strategic objective. Following a formal sales process, led by a specialist corporate finance adviser, an offer to buy the business was accepted from Kartell UK Limited, a trade acquiror. The realisation generated a total return of 2.0 times cost over the holding period, including a deferred element.

The table below gives details of all realisations achieved during the reporting period:
1 Proceeds exclude yield and redemption premiums received, which are disclosed as revenue for financial reporting purposes.
As at the date of this report, the Manager is in dialogue with several investee companies and prospective acquirors at various stages of an exit process. However, there can be no certainty that these discussions will result in profitable realisations.
Since 30 June 2019, four new private company holdings have been added to the portfolio.
In addition, follow-on development capital funding was provided to Mojo Mortgages.
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were set out in full in the Strategic Report contained within the 2018 Annual Report, and are the risks associated with investment in small and medium sized unlisted and AIM/NEX quoted companies which, by their nature, carry a higher level of risk and are subject to lower liquidity than investments in larger 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.
At present, there are no specific issues to highlight with respect to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the UK's future relationship with the EU. The Manager is working with management teams across the portfolio on contingency planning for the possibility of the UK leaving the EU without a formal agreement having been reached.
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 continue to be bought back at prices representing a discount of up to 15% of the prevailing NAV per share. During the period under review, 732,000 shares were bought back at a total cost of £474,000.
Your Company is making good progress towards the requirement of the Finance Act 2018 to hold 80% of its investments in qualifying holdings, and it is anticipated that this will be achieved ahead of your Company's mandatory compliance date of 31 December 2019, this being the end of its current financial year.
In July 2018, the Financial Reporting Council published an update of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code), which focused on the application and reporting of the updated Principles. The 2018 Code applies to all companies with a Premium Listing and is applicable for all accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. In February 2019, the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) issued a revised version of the AIC Corporate Governance Code, which takes into consideration the Code and has the same application date. The Board is considering the implications of both the Code and the AIC Code, and will consider its future reporting obligations under the new Codes.
On 10 June 2019, the Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II) was adopted as an update to the 2007 EU Directive, which aimed to ensure better protection of the rights of shareholders in listed companies. The amendments are focused on further strengthening the position of shareholders to ensure that the decisions of directors are made for the long-term stability of their company. SRD II aims to increase transparency regarding the investment strategy, directors' remuneration and the voting process in general meetings, whilst also involving shareholders in corporate governance.
On 23 August 2019, the Board, along with the directors of Maven Income and Growth VCT 3 PLC, announced an intention to raise up to £15 million, in aggregate, by way of joint Offers for Subscription (Offers). Shares will be issued in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 tax years and it is intended that an applicant will be able to invest in one or both of the Offers. The Board is confident that, given the strength of the current pipeline of investment opportunities, Maven will continue to be able identify and complete VCT qualifying transactions in line with the Company's investment strategy.
On 28 August 2019, the Board announced that it had entered into discussions regarding a possible merger of the Company with Maven Income and Growth VCT 6 PLC (Maven VCT 6). While there is no guarantee that these discussions will lead to an agreement to merge the companies, if the Merger is to proceed, the intention is that it will be undertaken through a scheme of reconstruction under S110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 with Maven VCT 6, as the acquired entity, being the subject of a solvent liquidation. A transaction solely on this basis, which is the recognised method for mergers of venture capital trusts, would not be governed by The City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. For the Merger is to proceed, it will require the formal approval of shareholders in both companies and, if approved, it is expected to achieve costs savings through the establishment of a larger combined entity.
The launch of the Offers, as described above, is not contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger. Subject to the respective boards reaching agreement, it is anticipated that the relevant Prospectus and Circulars required for the Offers and the Merger under the Listing Rules and companies' legislation will be despatched to shareholders of all three companies in early November 2019, with general meetings taking place in early December 2019 and completion of the Merger taking place in mid-December 2019.
Your Company is continuing to make good progress in the development of a large and diverse portfolio of high quality private and AIM quoted growth companies. The Manager remains focused on identifying and investing in some of the most attractive younger growth companies across the UK. The pipeline of opportunities currently in progress is very healthy, indicating that the rate of new investment in the second half of the year will be strong. The Board considers that your Company remains well positioned to achieve its strategic objective, notwithstanding the political and economic uncertainty associated with the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

All gains and losses are recognised in the Income Statement.
All items in the above statement are derived from continuing operations. The Company has only one class of business and one reportable segment, the results of which are set out in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The Company derives its income from investments made in shares, securities and bank deposits.
There are no potentially dilutive capital instruments in issue and, therefore, no diluted earnings per share figures are relevant. The basic and diluted earnings per share are, therefore, identical.

The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and the six months ended 30 June 2018 comprises non-statutory accounts within the meaning of S435 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information contained in this report has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, which have been filed at Companies House and contained an Auditor's Report that was not qualified and did not contain a statement under S498(2) or S498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The share premium account represents the premium above nominal value received by the Company on issuing shares, net of issue costs.
Gains or losses on investments realised in the year that have been recognised in the Income Statement are transferred to the capital reserve realised account on disposal. Furthermore, any prior unrealised gains or losses on such investments are transferred from the capital reserve unrealised account to the capital reserve realised account on disposal.
Increases and decreases in the fair value of investments are recognised in the Income Statement and are then transferred to the capital reserve unrealised account. The capital reserve realised account also represents capital dividends, capital investment management fees and the tax effect of capital items.
The total cost to the Company of the repurchase and cancellation of shares is represented in the special distributable reserve.
The nominal value of shares repurchased and cancelled is represented in the capital redemption reserve.
The revenue reserve represents accumulated profits retained by the Company that have not been distributed to Shareholders as a dividend.
