INGENIOUS ENTERTAINMENT VCT 2 PLC ("the Company")

 

STATEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS

 

For the year ended 31 December 2013

 

Chairman's Statement

 

I am delighted to present the Company's sixth Annual Report and Accounts covering the year to 31 December 2013 (the Reporting Period).

 

Overview of Activities

 

In December 2013, the Company cancelled all of its Ordinary Shares and completed the full distribution of capital in January 2014 in relation to those shares.

 

The Company has now completed its investment strategy and is fully invested under the VCT regulations for its C, D, E and F Share classes.

 

The Company continued to actively source and review investment opportunities during this Reporting Period for the G and H Share classes. In total the Company made four investments during the Reporting Period. Details of all investments can be found in the Manager's Review.

 

Summer 2013 saw the Company invest in a number of portfolio companies established to promote new festivals with mixed results. The Love Supreme Jazz Festival was extremely well received by both the audience and the press. The festival was given five stars by the Guardian, who commented 'the promoters may find that they have invested into the British jazz world's Glastonbury'. The festival was loss making in its first year, but that was very much anticipated, and with sales for the 2014 festival already being significantly ahead of target, the belief is that Love Supreme Jazz Festival should, at minimum, break even this year. Liverpool Sound City continues to build its profile and is budgeted to trade profitably for the first time in 2014 and Shakedown has also established its brand name within the Brighton area and beyond.

 

The investment by the Company into the established Field Day Festival proved to be well placed. The event attracted 30,000 attendees and the promoters believe that this base can be increased in the forthcoming year. Discussions are also underway to roll the Field Day brand out through Europe during the course of 2014.

 

The Company was, however, involved in two events which were disappointing. As One In The Park, which took place in Victoria Park in May 2013, and which was predominately aimed at the gay community, was well received but poorly attended. The promoters are discussing taking a different route with the brand, but an event will not be taking place in 2014. Similarly disappointing was SD2 which was the twin event to Shakedown. Talent of the calibre of The Wanted and The Saturdays failed to generate sufficient numbers to warrant repeating the event in 2014.

 

Fund Raising

 

The H Share Offer was open for subscription until 30 August 2013. During the Reporting Period, just over 2.6 million H Shares were allotted by the Company.

 

Results

 

The Ordinary Shares, C Shares, D Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares are accounted for as separate pools of funds necessitating separate non-statutory reporting.

 

The Directors and the Manager believe that the Company's strategy of blending high levels of downside protection with its attempt to drive positive returns from the investment portfolio should generate good longer term returns as the investment portfolio matures. The Directors and the Manager have taken a prudent approach in the valuation of investments with the view that it takes at least two to three years to build brand awareness in the live entertainment sector. They remain cautiously optimistic about the future performance and the long term outlook of the Company.

 

The Ordinary Shares made a loss on ordinary activities of GBP51,000 (31 December 2012: loss of GBP139,000). The C Shares made a loss of GBP86,000 (31 December 2012: loss of GBP73,000). The D Shares made a loss of GBP269,000 (31 December 2012: loss of GBP169,000). The E Shares made a loss of GBP120,000 (31 December 2012: loss of GBP56,000). The F Shares made a loss of GBP34,000 (31 December 2012: loss of GBP16,000). The G Shares made a loss of GBP58,000 (31 December 2012: loss of GBP81,000) The H Shares made a loss of GBP43,000 (31 December 2012: No H Shares allotted).

 

The net asset value per Ordinary Share at 31 December 2013 was GBPNil pence (31 December 2012: 74.8 pence). On 18 December 2013 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales made an order sanctioning the resolutions passed by the Company in general and class meetings held on 28 November 2013 by which the Company's Shareholders approved the reduction of the Company's share capital by the cancellation and extinguishment of all of its Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each. Up to 31 December 2013, the Company returned 88.3371 pence to investors, with the final distribution of 1 pence per Ordinary Share paid to investors on 21 January 2014.The net asset value per C Share at 31 December 2013 was 60.7 pence (31 December 2012: 68.8 pence) although this is after the deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting Period and the deduction of a total of 15.0 pence per Share of dividends in previous years. The net asset value as at 31 December 2013 including distributions was therefore 80.7 pence per C Share (31 December 2012: 83.8 pence).

 

The net asset value per D Share at 31 December 2013 was 69.5 pence (31 December 2012: 78.5 pence) although this is after the deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting Period and the deduction of a total of 10.0 pence per Share of dividends in previous years. The net asset value as at 31 December 2013 including distributions was therefore 84.5 pence per D Share (31 December 2012: 88.5 pence).

 

The net asset value per E Share at 31 December 2013 was 76.9 pence (31 December 2012: 86.1 pence) although this is after the deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting Period and the deduction of a 5.0 pence per Share dividend in the previous year. The net asset value as at 31 December 2013 including this distribution was therefore 86.9 pence per E Share (31 December 2012: 91.1 pence).

 

The net asset value per F Share at 31 December 2013 was 80.0 pence (31 December 2012: 87.2 pence) although this is after the deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting Period and the deduction of a 5.0 pence per Share dividend in the previous year. The net asset value as at 31 December 2013 including this distribution was therefore 90.0 pence per F Share (31 December 2012: 92.2 pence).

 

The net asset value per G Share at 31 December 2013 was 86.6 pence (31 December 2012: 93.3 pence) although this is after the deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting Period (31 December 2012: No dividends paid). The net asset value as at 31 December 2013 including this distribution was therefore 91.6 pence per G Share (31 December 2012: 93.3 pence).

 

The net asset value per H Share at 31 December 2013 was 93.5 pence (31 December 2012: no H Shares allotted). No dividends have been paid to date.

 

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

 

There has been a continuing flow of proposed legislation and regulation relevant to VCTs. Legislation is to be introduced prohibiting enhanced share buy-backs, where a VCT purchases existing shares from shareholders and within six months the shareholder invests in the same VCT.

 

This legislation will not affect the Company as the Board never used these arrangements.

 

Outlook

 

The live entertainment sector has experienced similar pressures to those endured by a number of sectors of the economy in terms of discretionary spend, but I am pleased to report that there are signs that 2014 will be another strong year. Festivals like Glastonbury continue to sell out immediately they go on sale and all of the 2014 events in the Company's current portfolio are currently ahead of forecast in terms of tickets sold.

 

Both the Board and the Manager consider that the sector in which the Company operates retains the potential for strong growth and that the current investment portfolio has been developed to benefit from this growth.

 

Manager's Review

 

Investment Objective

 

The Company's main objective is to invest in companies established to create and bring to market live events and premium entertainment content which will provide Shareholders with an attractive return. This strategy will aim to maximise the opportunities for making tax-free dividends to Shareholders from both the actual income received and capital profits on the sale of investments in Investee Companies or their assets.

 

Festivals

 

Field Day Festival

 

Initial Funding: November 2012

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

Further Funding: December 2013

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP500,000

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In November 2012, the Entertainment VCTs invested into Waxarch Limited to promote one of London's foremost festivals for up and coming talent, Field Day Festival. Attendance for the 2013 event remained consistent at around 28,500 attendees and, although the promoters were hoping for a further increase in attendance, the event remains significantly profitable.

 

The 2014 event, which will take place in Victoria Park, London on Saturday 7 June is currently showing an increase in sales when compared to the previous year and the promoters remain confident that Field Day Festival will take another leap forward in terms of profitability and brand value.

 

In December 2013 the Company made a further investment in order to promote a second day of Field Day Festival which will take place on Sunday 8 June. The highlight of the day will be a headline performance by The Pixies, a hugely successful band from the USA who has the musical heritage to 'bed in' the first Sunday Field Day Festival. The Manager and event partners are also looking to utilise the additional funding to expand the Field Day brand internationally, with a number of discussions with European promoters currently taking place.

 

Liverpool Sound City Limited

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP600,000

 

(GBP1,200,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In March 2012, the Entertainment VCTs made an investment into Liverpool Sound City Limited. This company has, for a number of years, been producing and promoting the Sound City concept which combines the best elements of a music festival, conference and expo across an entire city centre.

 

Liverpool Sound City has now held two UK events further to the VCTs' investment. The May 2013 event again increased attendance, but the event continues to be loss making. The Manager has spent a large amount of time working with the team in Liverpool and feels that the company has now been stabilised, operating within a far stronger control environment and with a better informed, and more effective, commercial decision-making team. The 2014 event, which takes place from 1 to 3 May, is budgeted to trade profitably and all areas of the business are being closely monitored on a regular basis.

 

Love Supreme Jazz Festival

 

Initial Funding: December 2011

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

Further Funding: December 2013

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP500,000

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In December 2011, the Entertainment VCTs teamed up with Jazz FM and Neapolitan Music to invest in a company to co-promote what is the UK's only camping Jazz festival, the Love Supreme Jazz Festival. The first event took place in July 2013 and was very well received by audience and press alike. On what was the hottest weekend of the year, a strong talent bill performed with headline performances from Bryan Ferry, Jools Holland and Chic accompanied by a vast array of talent representing jazz in all its glories. The event was given five stars by the Guardian, who commented 'the promoters may find that they have invested into the British jazz world's Glastonbury'.

 

The first event was loss making, but this outcome was very much anticipated as new event brands take time to generate full customer awareness. The Manager does firmly believe, however, that the Love Supreme Jazz Festival is an event that has the potential to create positive shareholder value in the longer term.

 

Hop Farm Comedy

 

Initial Funding: March 2013

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP500,000

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

Further Funding: June 2013

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP375,000

 

(GBP750,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In 2013 a series of investments totalling GBP1,750,000 was made into Hop Farm Comedy Limited to create a number of new comedy festivals across the country.

 

Discussions are currently taking place with a number of national and international comedy partners such as Get Comedy, Just for Laughs and Kilimanjaro, each of whom have many years of direct experience in producing their own comedy events.

 

The Manager, along with these partners, is researching the best platform to launch these events in terms of location and type of event (i.e. camping or non-camping) and once these discussions are complete we would hope to announce the launch of comedy events later in 2014 or potentially 2015.

 

Shakedown Festival & SD2 Festival

 

Initial Funding: February 2011

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP750,000

 

(GBP1,500,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

Further Funding: December 2012

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP500,000

 

(GBP1,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In February 2011 an investment of GBP1,500,000 was made into Venn Music Limited to promote two new music festivals in Summer 2011. Although We The People, which took place in Bristol, fell by the wayside after only one year, the sister festival, Shakedown Festival, which is based in Brighton, continues to establish itself. After three years, Shakedown is now profitable and is generally regarded as Brighton's very own festival catering for an audience aged 18 and over.

 

2014 sees a change of site and an earlier date in the calendar for the event, being Saturday 19 July. The promoters believe that both of these changes give them an opportunity to create both a permanent home and date in the calendar for Shakedown going forward.

 

Audience levels are currently around 15,000 and the new site has the capacity to grow the event into a 20,000 plus day that should ensure that the event trades profitably. Artists who have headlined at the event since inception include Example, Ed Sheeran, Razorlight, Labrinth, Dizzee Rascal and Rizzle Kicks.

 

In December 2012 a further investment of GBP1,000,000 was made into the company to introduce a second day to the Shakedown Festival. SD2 Festival was held on the day after Shakedown Festival. With a talent bill comprising the likes of The Wanted, The Saturdays and Conor Maynard, the promoters were of the opinion that the attendance would far surpass the numbers that actually turned up and the event incurred a significant loss.

 

The partners are now discussing future options for the event which include the possibility of renting out the site to other promoters in return for rental income which would help to reduce any losses incurred.

 

As One In The Park Festival

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount GBP750,000

 

(GBP1,500,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In February 2012 an investment of GBP1,500,000 was made into Saturn Star Limited to create a new gay and alternative lifestyle festival called As One In The Park, which was held in Victoria Park in May 2013.

 

Although critically well received, the audience of 6,000 was significantly below the numbers anticipated and the event incurred a significant loss.

 

The As One brand is currently under review, with the event partners looking to stage events in venues rather than a greenfield space to reduce both overheads and overall event risk.

 

London Electronic Dance (LED) Festival

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP109,000

 

(GBP218,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In August 2010 the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested in a company to co-promote the LED Festival in partnership with AEG Live, Cream and Loudsound.

 

After incurring losses in its first year, the event fully recovered this deficit in a very successful second year, but the arrival of the Olympics in London made it very difficult to justify staging such events in 2012 and the partners remain in discussion as to how best to continue exploiting the LED brand. In the meantime a significant portion of the original capital invested was returned to the Ordinary Shareholders during the course of 2013.

 

Exhibitions

 

Titans of Cricket

 

Entertainment VCT 2 Investment amount: GBP1,000,000

 

(GBP2,000,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

In June 2011 an investment of GBP2,000,000 was made by the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into Titans of Sport Limited (formerly This is Cricket Limited) to promote a new sports event, Titans of Cricket.

 

Titans of Cricket took the best of Twenty20, the Indian Premier League and World Cup Cricket and combined them in a new format that demonstrates the skills of some of the world's top cricketing stars both past and present. The first event took place at the O2 in London in October 2011 and attracted 8,000 fans, with appearances from Andrew Flintoff and Adam Gilchrist plus a host of other international cricket stars. The first year event lost money and the Manager and event partners remain in active discussion as to how the brand can be redeveloped to enhance its profitability which include the opportunity to licence the brand to a third party.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

for the year ended 31 December 2013

 

1. Accounting Policies

 

a) Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements for the Reporting Period have been prepared in compliance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, the Companies Act 2006 and with the Statement of Recommended Practice (the SORP) entitled "Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts" (with the exception of paragraph 80 of the SORP regarding detailed disclosure of financial and operational performance of the Company's unquoted investments due to their confidential nature) which was issued in January 2009.

 

The comparative figures are for the year 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, except for the measurement at fair value for investments. The principal accounting policies have remained unchanged from those set out in the Company's 2012 Annual Report and Accounts.

 

b) Valuation of Investments

 

The Company's business is investing in financial assets with a view to profiting from their total return in the form of income and capital growth. As set out in the Prospectus all investments are designated at fair value.

 

International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines

 

Unquoted investments, including equity and loan investments, are designated at fair value through profit and loss and are valued in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Guidelines and Financial Reporting Standard 26 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" (FRS 26). Investments are initially recognised at fair value. The fair value is subsequently re-measured, as estimated by the Directors. Investment holding gains or losses arising from the revaluation of investments are taken directly to the Income Statement. Fair value is determined as follows:

 
 
    -- Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between 

knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

 
    -- In estimating the fair value for an investment, the Manager will apply 

a methodology that is appropriate in light of the nature, facts and

circumstances of the investment and its materiality in the context of

the total investment portfolio and will use reasonable assumptions and

estimations.

 
    -- An appropriate methodology incorporates available information about 

all factors that are likely to materially affect the fair value of the

investment. The valuation methodologies are applied consistently from

period to period, except where a change would result in a better

estimate of fair value. Any changes in valuation methodologies will be

clearly disclosed in the financial statements.

 

The most widely used methodologies are listed below. In assessing which methodology is appropriate, the Directors are predisposed towards those methodologies that draw upon market-based measures of risk and return.

 
 
    -- Price of recent investment 
 
    -- Discounted cash flows/earnings multiple 
 
    -- Net assets 
 
    -- Available market prices 
 

Of these the two methodologies most applicable to the Company's investments are:

 

1 - Price of recent investment

 

Where the investment being valued was made recently, its cost will generally provide a good indication of value. It is generally considered that this would only apply for a limited period; in practice a period up to the start of the first live event or entertainment content which forms the investment is often applied as the long stop date for such a valuation.

 

2 - Discounted cash flows/earnings of the underlying business

 

Investments can be valued by calculating the net present value of expected future cash flows of the Investee Companies. In relation to the Company's investments, anticipating future cash flows in excess of the guaranteed amounts would clearly require highly subjective judgements to be made in the early stage of each investment and therefore would not be an appropriate methodology to apply in the early stage of the investment.

 

In the period prior to the second live event or entertainment content it is considered appropriate to use the price paid for the recent investment as the latest available information. Thereafter, the portfolio of investments is fair valued on the discounted cash flow/earnings basis using the latest available information on the performance of the live event or entertainment content. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the Income Statement in the period in which they arise.

 

As a result of the above basis of valuation, there is significant judgement associated with the valuation of investments.

 

Non-qualifying Investments - OEICs

 

The Company's Non-qualifying Investments in interest bearing money market OEICs are valued at fair value which is bid price. They have been designated as fair value through profit or loss for the purposes of FRS 26.

 

Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of Qualifying and Non-qualifying Investments are recognised as part of the capital return within the Income Statement and allocated to the realised or unrealised capital reserve as appropriate. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition or disposal of investments are charged to capital within the Income Statement.

 

c) Investment Income

 

Interest income is recognised in the Income Statement under the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate required to discount the expected future income streams over the life of the loan to its initial carrying amount. The main impact for the Company in that regard is the accounting treatment of the loan note premiums. Where those loan note premiums are charged in lieu of higher interest then they are credited to income over the life of the advance to the extent those premiums are anticipated to be collected.

 

d) Dividend Income

 

Dividend income is recognised in the Income Statement once it is declared by the Investee Companies.

 

e) Expenses

 

All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses are charged to the revenue account within the Income Statement except that:

 
 
    -- expenses which are incidental to the acquisition or disposal of an 

investment are charged to capital in the Income Statement as incurred;

 
    -- expenses are split and presented partly as capital items where a 

connection with the maintenance or enhancement of the value of the

investments held can be demonstrated; and

 
    -- the management fee has been allocated 50% to revenue and 50% to 

capital, which represents the split of the Company's long term returns.

 

General expenses were paid for by the Ordinary Share class until 31 July 2013 and from 1 August 2013 by the C Share class and have been recharged on a quarterly basis to the other Share classes based on the proportional net asset value per Share class as at the last day of the previous quarter.

 

f) Deferred Taxation

 

Deferred taxation is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the Balance Sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less, tax in the future have occurred at the Balance Sheet date. This is subject to deferred tax assets only being recognised if it is considered more likely than not that there will be suitable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Timing differences are differences arising between the Company\'s taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements which are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.

 

g) Ordinary Shares, C Shares, D Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares

 

The Company had seven Share classes up to 17 December 2013: Ordinary Shares, C Shares, D Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares. On 20 December 2013 the Company's capital was reduced by the cancellation and extinguishment of all of its Ordinary Shares of 1p each. Each Share class has a separate pool of income and expenses as well as assets and liabilities attributable to it. All Share classes rank pari passu with each other in terms of voting and other rights.

All costs arising out of the relevant H Share Offer (included in 2013), and G Share Offer (included in 2012), including listing expenses and commissions, were incurred by Ingenious Media Investments Limited (IMIL) and a fee ranging from 0.6288% to 5.5%, depending on the Share issue price, of the gross proceeds of the relevant Offer was paid in consideration of the service provided. The Directors believe that 80% of these fees relate directly to the raising of capital and have classified this proportion as issue costs. In accordance with Company law, the issue costs have been deducted from the Share premium account. The remaining 20% reflected above has been taken to revenue.

 

4. Investment Management Fees

As the Company is a VCT its capital gains are not taxable.

 

At 31 December 2013 the Company had surplus management expenses of GBP950,000 (31 December 2012: GBP806,000). A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of these surplus management expenses as the future taxable income of the Company cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty. Due to the Company's status as a VCT, and the intention to continue meeting the conditions required to obtain approval in the foreseeable future, the Company does not recognise deferred tax on any capital gains or losses which arise on the revaluation of investments.

16. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

 

The Company's financial instruments comprise equity and floating rate debt investments in unquoted companies, cash balances and listed money market OEICs. The Company holds financial assets in accordance with its investment policy.

 

Fixed asset investments (see note 8) are valued at fair value. For quoted securities included in current asset Non-qualifying Investments, this is bid price. In respect of unquoted investments, these are fair valued in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines. The fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities is represented by their carrying value on the Balance Sheet.

Level 3 investments include a GBP18,000 revaluation gain on Saturn Explosion Limited, a GBP90,000 revaluation loss on Saturn Star Limited and a GBP212,000 revaluation loss on Venn Music Ltd during the year.

 

In accordance with FRS 29, "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", the above table provides an analysis of these investments based on the fair value hierarchy described below which reflects the reliability and significance of the information used to measure their fair value:

 
 
    -- Level 1 - investments with quoted prices in active markets; 
 
    -- Level 2 - investments whose fair value is based directly on observable 

market prices or is indirectly drawn from observable market prices; and

 
    -- Level 3 - investments whose fair value is determined using a valuation 

technique based on assumptions that are not supported by observable

current market prices or are not based on observable market data.

 

The valuation techniques used by the Company are explained in note 1(b) - Accounting Policies.

 

The effect on the valuation of the Level 3 investments, if the profit multiple element of the valuation method were to change by a factor of one, would be as follows:

 
                         31 December 2013       31 December 2012 
                         GBP'000                  GBP'000 
                         +/- 1 Profit Multiple  +/- 1 Profit Multiple 
Impact on loss           -                      106 
on ordinary 
activities for 
the year 
before taxation and 
total equity 
 
 

All Level 3 unquoted investments have been valued at the price of the recent investment.

 

Risk Management

 

The Company's investing activities expose it to various types of risk that are associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. The most important types of financial risk to which the Company is exposed are:

 
 
    -- Market risk; 
 
    -- Interest rate risk; 
 
    -- Credit risk; and 
 
    -- Liquidity risk. 
 

The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding at the Balance Sheet date and the risk management policies employed by the Company are discussed below:

 

a) Market Risk

 

Market risk embodies the potential for both losses and gains and includes interest rate risk and price risk.

 

The Company's strategy on the management of investment risk is driven by the Company's investment objective. Investments in unquoted companies, by their nature, involve a higher degree of risk than investments in larger "blue chip" companies.

 

The risk of loss in value is managed through careful selection in accordance with a formalised investment decision process, with each investment proposal evaluated by the Investment Committee as part of the due diligence stage.

 

The Company's investment policy can be found in the Strategic Report. The risk is also managed through continuous monitoring of the performance of investments and changes in their risk profile.

 

b) Interest Rate Risk

 

Some of the Company's financial assets are interest bearing, all of which are at floating rates. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rate.

 

When the Company retains cash balances, the majority of cash is held within interest bearing money market OEICs. This is the Non-qualifying Investments amount on the Balance Sheet of GBP8,127,000 (31 December 2012: GBP8,441,000). The benchmark rate which determines the interest payments received on interest bearing cash balances and debt investments in unquoted companies is the bank base rate which was 0.5% as at 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: 0.5%).

 

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the impact on ordinary activities for the year before taxation and total equity to a change in interest rates of 50 basis points, with effect from the beginning of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on the Company's Non-qualifying Investments held at each Balance Sheet date. All other variables are held constant.

 
                                31 December 2013     31 December 2012 
                                GBP'000                GBP'000 
                                +/- 50 basis points  +/- 50 basis points 
Impact on loss on ordinary      42                   46 
activities for the year 
before taxation and 
total equity 
 
 

c) Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Company.

 

Whilst the Company is exposed to credit risk due to its GBP5,517,000 (31 December 2012: GBP9,065,000) unsecured loan note instruments, this risk is mitigated by the Company requiring that minimum royalty arrangements are in place prior to the investment as set out in the Company's investment policy. In addition, and in accordance with the Company's monitoring procedure, the Manager closely monitors progress (including financial expenditure) against the Investee Companies' agreed business plans.

 

The GBP5,517,000 (31 December 2012: GBP9,065,000) unsecured loan notes are the contractually agreed 70% of initial investments.

 

d) Liquidity Risk

 

The Company's financial instruments include equity and debt investments in unquoted companies, which are not traded in an organised public market and which generally may be illiquid. As a result, the Company may not be able to liquidate quickly some of its investment in these instruments at an amount close to fair value.

 

The Company maintains sufficient reserves of cash and readily realisable marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements at all times. No numerical disclosures have been provided in respect of liquidity risk as this is not considered to be material.

 

17. Contingent Assets

 

There is currently interest income accruing on the unsecured loan note instruments at a rate of 4.5% (31 December 2012: 4.5%), being 4% over the bank base rate which was 0.5% as at 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: 0.5%), totalling GBP314,000 (31 December 2012: GBP343,000). The repayment of this interest is not deemed recoverable based on current profits being derived by the Investee Companies, which currently cannot be determined with any certainty, therefore the Directors have not recognised it in the financial statements.

 

18. Related Party Transactions

 

a) Under an offer agreement dated 14 December 2012 between the Company, Ingenious Entertainment VCT 1 plc, IMIL and Howard Kennedy Corporate Services LLP, the Company and Ingenious Entertainment VCT 1 plc appointed IMIL, a company of which Patrick McKenna is a director, to be the promoter of the H Share Offer. IMIL is a wholly-owned subsidiary within the Ingenious Media Holdings plc group of companies (the Ingenious Group) which is controlled by Patrick McKenna and is, therefore, considered a related party to the Company under the Listing Rules. A variable arrangement fee equivalent to an amount of between 0.6288% to 5.5% of the subscription monies of an investor (the relevant percentage depending on the category of the investor) was paid by the Company to IMIL in consideration for the services provided as promoter, such fees becoming payable upon the allotment of the Shares under that Offer. This disclosure is being made pursuant to the Listing Rules.

 

During the Reporting Period, the Company paid IMIL a fee ranging from 0.6288% to 5.5% (depending on the Share issue price) of the gross proceeds of the H Share Offer in consideration for services provided as promoter on the H Share Offer, amounting to GBP81,000 (31 December 2012: G Share fee amounting to GBP194,000 in consideration for services provided as promoter of the G Share Offer).

 

b) On 4 April 2013, Patrick McKenna applied for, in aggregate, 69,840 H Shares in the Company and Ingenious Entertainment VCT 1 plc under the H Share Offer. Further to this, 34,920 H Shares in the Company were allotted to him at an issue price of GBP1 per Share (together with a further 1,047 H Shares as waiver shares pursuant to the terms of the H Share Offer). For the purposes of the Listing Rules, Patrick is considered to be a related party of the Company (as he is a Director of the Company). The disclosure in relation to this application is made pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules.

 

c) Ingenious Ventures Limited was the Company's investment manager until 28 February 2008, when the investment management agreement was novated to Ingenious Asset Management Limited, and Ingenious Ventures became a trading division of Ingenious Asset Management Limited. Patrick McKenna is a director of Ingenious Asset Management Limited which is a subsidiary within the Ingenious Group, which is controlled by Patrick McKenna.

 

The Board approved a deed of novation which, with effect from 6 April 2012, novated the management agreement so that Ingenious Capital Management Limited, of which Patrick McKenna is a director, replaced Ingenious Asset Management Limited as Manager to the Company. Ingenious Capital Management Limited, trading as Ingenious Ventures, undertakes the same duties as Ingenious Asset Management Limited and, save for the change of name of the Manager, there has been no other change to the terms of the management agreement. The reason for this change was to effect an administrative reorganisation within the Ingenious Group.

 

The Manager, as per the investment management agreement, receives a management fee of 0.4375% of the net asset value per Share class, payable quarterly in advance. In aggregate, this amounted to GBP330,000 as at 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: GBP374,000). The Manager also charges an administration fee of GBP102,000 (31 December 2012: GBP90,000) per annum (adjusted for inflation and additional Share classes, if any) and irrecoverable VAT.

 

d) The funds invested in OEICs are managed by Ingenious Asset Management Limited of which Patrick McKenna is a director. Ingenious Asset Management Limited is a subsidiary of the Ingenious Group, which is controlled by Patrick McKenna. There is no fee associated with this transaction.

 

e) Patrick McKenna is a director and a shareholder of Ingenious Entertainment VCT 1 plc.
