Chairman's statement 
 
In the six months to the end of August the outlook for the world economy 
worsened. A potent combination of factors has combined to lessen confidence. At 
the beginning of the period, the unrest in various countries in the Middle East 
was widespread, culminating in the uprising in Libya. The major impact on the 
world economy was to cause oil prices to rise, draining spending power from 
Western consumers. Furthermore industrial production has been adversely 
affected by component supply disruptions arising from the Japanese earthquake 
and tsunami. 
 
Throughout the period, the problems in the Eurozone sovereign debt markets 
continued to worsen. The problems began to escalate to the larger economies of 
Spain and Italy. Their scale is such that any bail out will be hard to fund and 
require strong political leadership. Markets have continued to be volatile 
since the period end as views change as to whether politicians can address the 
underlying problems. Global prospects remain uncertain with unemployment 
staying stubbornly high while sovereign debt and bank recapitalisations remain 
on the agenda. 
 
Slowing global growth and a rise in risk aversion were a poor combination for 
the AIM market. The commodity related shares which dominate the index were in 
the main weak. Also, early stage companies suffered from the rise in risk 
aversion. This was most noticeable in those shares where additional capital 
might have to be raised to fund the company until they begin to generate 
positive cash flow. 
 
The net asset value (NAV) suffered, falling from 55.02p to 43.43p, after 
payment of a dividend of 4 pence per share in August 2011. Taking the payment 
of this dividend into account, the net asset value fell by 13.8% which compares 
with a fall of 7.9% in the All Share index and 16.7% in the Aim All Share Index 
(both on a total return basis). 
 
Within the portfolio those companies that needed to raise additional capital 
included Cyan Holdings, Plethora and Suretrack Monitoring, with 3D Diagnostics 
following just after the period end. The Company participated in all these fund 
raisings. Other poor performers during the period included AFC Energy (after a 
big rise), Avacta, Theo Fennell and BGlobal. The Company's largest holding, 
Craneware, fell during the period from 579p to 490p on profit taking, but 
rallied in September to around 600p on the back of strong results. 
 
On a brighter note too, good rises were seen in Photonstar, Green Compliance 
and Cohort, which announced that they were undertaking a strategic review to 
try and close the gap between the market capitalisation and underlying value. 
Also, Angle's share price has approximately doubled since the half year end 
after they announced that they were making excellent progress in the 
development of their separation device for the capture of cancer cells in the 
blood. 
 
New qualifying purchases were made in Futura Medical, Music Festivals and 
Norman Broadbent. Futura Medical have products licensed to Reckitt Benckiser 
and Ansell Limited which are very close to market launch, when the company will 
begin to earn royalties. Music Festivals is run by Vince Power, who 
successfully built up the Mean Fiddler Group prior to its profitable sale. 
Norman Broadbent is a leading provider of executive search and leadership 
consultancy services. 
 
The Allied Domecq bond was sold and the Treasury holding was redeemed and the 
proceeds helped fund the dividend payment. In addition, the Chime Communication 
holding was sold. 
 
At a strategic level the Board has responded to the disappointing performance 
of the Company's investment portfolio. It is currently carrying out a review of 
its options in relation to the Company's operations, with a view to improving 
the overall future prospects for shareholders.

5 Called up share capital 
 
During the six months ended 31 August 2011, the Company repurchased 500,000 
shares for a total consideration of GBP178,000 (six months ended 31 August 2010: 
592,000 shares for a total consideration of GBP224,000; year ended 28 February 
2011: 710,000 shares for a total consideration of GBP268,000). 
 
As stated in the Company's Report and Accounts for the year ended 28 February 
2011, the dividend reinvestment scheme has been terminated by the directors due 
to the small number of shareholders who have taken up this option. Accordingly, 
no further shares have been issued under the scheme. In the corresponding 
period to 31 August 2010, 145,694 shares were issued. 
 
The number of ordinary shares in issue at 31 August 2011 was 28,986,299.

7 Related Party Transactions 
 
During the first six months of the current financial year, no transactions with 
related parties have taken place which have materially affected the financial 
position or the performance of the Company during the period. 
 
Investment objective 
 
The Company's investment objective is to achieve long term capital growth 
primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of qualifying companies 
quoted on AIM. It is expected that realised capital gains, along with income, 
will be returned to the shareholders, at the discretion of the Directors, 
through the payment of dividends. The Investment Manager may also invest the 
assets of the Company in companies traded on the PLUS Market trading facility 
and in unquoted stocks, although this is not currently expected to be 
significant. 
 
The majority of the Company's investments will be in newly issued shares, as it 
is a VCT requirement that 70% of the funds raised pursuant to the offer be 
invested in new issues of shares that qualify as qualifying holdings within 
three years of the share issue. The Company had to achieve this requirement by 
28 February 2009 and now has to comply on an on-going basis. 
 
Qualifying holdings are defined as holdings of shares or securities in unquoted 
(including AIM and PLUS Market companies) whose purpose is to carry on a 
qualifying trade wholly or mainly in the UK. Sectors that are excluded include 
property, financial services and commodities. Companies must not be controlled 
by the VCT or any other company. At the end of three years, up to 30% of a 
VCT's assets can be invested in non-qualifying investments such as bank 
deposits, gilts and fixed interest stock. At least 30% of the VCT's qualifying 
holdings must be ordinary shares with no preferential rights. The remainder can 
be in loans of at least five years' duration, or preference shares. 
 
The size of companies in which the Company may invest is limited by the VCT 
rules. Qualifying holdings, as defined above, must have gross assets of GBP15 
million or less immediately prior to investment and GBP16 million or less 
immediately after investment. Although the companies in which the Company 
invests are small, the risk that this entails is mitigated by the 
diversification of holdings which results from the requirement to invest 70% of 
funds raised in qualifying holdings. 
 
The maximum exposure to any one stock or group, other than another VCT, is 15% 
of the Company's investments. 
 
The Company's borrowings must be restricted to an amount which is less than 10% 
of the Company's issued share capital and reserves. 
 
Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
The directors believe that the principal risk faced by the Company is the loss 
of approval as a venture capital trust arising from a breach of the 
requirements of Section 274 of the Income Taxes Act 2007. This would mean that 
shareholders might have to repay the income tax relief they obtained on their 
investment in the Company and that the Company would lose its exemption from 
tax on any capital gains. The Manager reports to the board at each meeting on 
the Company's compliance with Section 274 and the board is advised on VCT 
issues by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The board considers that the most appropriate 
key performance indicators for the Company are its compliance with the 
requirements of Section 274. 
 
Other significant risks include the risk of a serious or prolonged fall in the 
stock market which would affect the Company's performance and value; consistent 
underperformance by the Manager; and the Company's shares failing to achieve a 
rating which reflects performance. The board seeks to mitigate these risks by 
monitoring the Manager's performance at each board meeting and discussing 
appropriate action where considered necessary. 
 
Investor information 
 
Structure of the Company 
 
The Company has one class of share capital, ordinary shares of 10p each. The 
Company had 28,986,299 ordinary shares in issue at 31 August 2011. VCTs are 
long term investments, with the full benefit of their tax reliefs being 
available to qualifying subscribers only where they hold their investment for 
three years. The initial duration of the Company has been set at seven years. 
The Board is required, under the Articles, to put a proposal for the 
continuation of the Company as a venture capital trust to Shareholders at the 
Company's annual general meeting in 2013 and thereafter at three year 
intervals. 
 
The Company is the second VCT to be managed by the Manager, the first being the 
Framlington AIM VCT PLC which was launched in December 2004. The two companies 
have the same investment policy. Where investments are identified which are 
suitable for both companies, the investment manager will allocate such 
investments between the two companies equitably taking account of all relevant 
factors including portfolio composition and the availability of cash for 
investment.

Dividend policy 
 
Venture capital trusts can use all distributable reserves, including realised 
capital profits from the sale of underlying investments and income, for the 
payment of dividends, which are free of income tax to qualifying subscribers 
and qualifying purchasers. It is intended that the Company will take advantage 
of this by distributing some or all of its realised profits and other 
distributable reserves from time to time. 
 
Shareholders who wish to have dividends paid directly into a bank account, 
rather than by cheque to their registered address, may complete a mandate form 
for this purpose, which may be obtained from the Registrars.
