Maven Income and Growth VCT 6 PLC

Interim Announcement for the six months ended 30 September 2016 (unaudited)

The Directors announce the unaudited Interim Management Report for the six months ended 30 September 2016.

Highlights

-- NAV total return of 61.94p per share at 30 September 2016, compared to 61.81p at 31 March 2016

   --        NAV at 30 September 2016 of 59.09p per share after payment of the final dividend of 0.25p 
   --        Offer for Subscription closed, having raised GBP12.9 million 
   --        Further Offer for Subscription announced on 23 September 2016 
   --        New investments completed in The GP Service (UK) and Rockar 

-- Large pipeline of new VCT rules qualifying private equity investments, with a number in advanced process

Overview

In the period under review NAV total return increased to 61.94p per share. This is in line with your Company's continuing objective of achieving long term capital appreciation whilst also generating maintainable levels of income for Shareholders.

The success of the Offer for Subscription, which closed on 30 June 2016 and raised a total of GBP12.9 million, has transformed the scale and capital structure of the Company. Net assets have increased to GBP16.5 million, providing a solid foundation to support new investments and provide follow-on funding to existing portfolio companies which meet the revised VCT qualification criteria.

The portfolio now extends to 50 unlisted and AIM quoted company holdings, many of which are paying a regular yield, offering a combination of revenue and capital returns with the aim of underpinning Shareholder value in the years ahead. During the reporting period Maven completed new investments in The GP Service (UK) and Rockar and your Board is encouraged by the pipeline of VCT qualifying opportunities identified by the Manager. A number of potential new transactions are at an advanced stage and an investment in Chic Lifestyle completed shortly after the period end.

During the period under review Maven has focused on the practical implementation of the new VCT rules, which were enacted in November 2015 and detailed in the latest Annual Report. The revised legislation brings the UK VCT scheme into line with European Union (EU) State Aid Rules for smaller company investment and imposes a number of restrictions on the types of transactions and companies in which VCTs are able to invest. The rules specifically prohibit participation in management buy-outs or acquisitions, and limit the ability to support older companies unless certain criteria are met. Whilst this means that your Company can no longer finance certain transactions, Maven has a long established history of investing development capital in companies which meet the revised VCT qualification criteria.

Share Capital, Distributable Reserves and Dividends

As detailed in the 2016 Annual Report, the proposed restructuring of the share capital of the Company was approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting held on 17 February 2016. This enabled your Company to create a capital redemption reserve and increase its share premium account which, subject to the sanction of the Court, could be cancelled to create additional distributable reserves to support the payment of dividends and a share buy-back programme.

Subsequent to the closure of the Offer for Subscription on 1 July 2016, the Company applied to the Court for the cancellation of the amounts standing in respect of the share premium account and the capital redemption reserve. A court order in relation to the cancellation of the Company's share premium account and capital redemption reserve was granted and registered at Companies House on 24 August 2016, with the resulting changes to the reserves being reflected in the Financial Statements as at 30 September 2016 incorporated in this Interim Report.

The Board has not declared an interim dividend but, subject to the generation of capital gains from any further disposals and the availability of surplus revenue, intends to propose a final dividend when it considers the results for the full year to 31 March 2017. Discussions are in progress regarding potential exits from a number of portfolio companies, although there can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to profitable sales.

On 24 August 2015 the Board announced that, under the Terms and Conditions of the Company's Dividend Investment Scheme (DIS), 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. 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.

Portfolio Developments

The private equity portfolio has generally performed well, with positive trading results having led to valuation uplifts for a number of companies operating across a range of sectors. The Board has, however, elected to take provisions against the values of certain investments in businesses with an exposure to the oil & gas sector.

Nenplas, a manufacturer and distributor of plastic extrusions for a variety of applications, has continued to perform ahead of plan due to operational efficiencies achieved through the integration of Polyplas, increased sales volumes, lower raw material costs and favourable market conditions, particularly within the leisure and mobile home sectors. The company has repaid all of its senior debt and has been a highly cash generative and valuable portfolio asset.

Cursor Controls, a global leader in the design and niche manufacture of trackball pointing solutions for industrial applications, has performed well since Maven clients invested in July 2015. The business delivered impressive organic growth in the year to 31 December 2015 and is forecast to build on this in the current year. In April 2016 Cursor completed the acquisition of a Belgian distributor, which is expected to be significantly earnings enhancing.

The year to 31 December 2015 was another excellent trading period for John McGavigan, a manufacturer and supplier of technical plastic components and interior parts for the global automotive industry. This positive momentum has been sustained through the current year, with the operations in both China and Scotland delivering a good level of organic growth and a significant increase in profitability, assisted by a number of productivity improvement projects implemented earlier in the year. The order book remains strong and the cash position is secure, providing increased visibility of the future prospects for the business.

Crawford Scientific, a leading supplier of chromatography products and services, has traded ahead of plan since Maven clients' initial investment in August 2014. During 2015 the business acquired and successfully integrated analytical services company Hall Analytical Laboratories which, alongside strong trading within the core Crawford business, has contributed to out-performance against the original investment case. The business has fully repaid the debt used to fund the Hall acquisition and the management team is continuing to widen each of Crawford's service and product lines, with organic growth forecast to lead to increased turnover and earnings in the current year.

Torridon (Gibraltar) is an established general insurer, which trades through its subsidiary Elite Insurance. The business is registered in Gibraltar and is authorised to write 12 general insurance business classes in 14 EU/EEA States. Elite has delivered impressive growth over recent years and, as a result, now has 30 lines of insurance, with the UK business representing 62% of total sales. Elite focuses on high margin niche lines, requiring considerable expertise and underwriting skills, as well as holding strong distribution relationships.

The UK's largest provider of promotional merchandise, SPS (EU), has experienced excellent growth under private ownership since Maven clients invested in February 2014. Operational improvements have enhanced profitability, whilst organic growth has been supplemented through two complementary acquisitions, High Profile Plastic and TEC, both of which were completed in the year to 31 December 2015. The business is forecasting further growth in the current financial year and operational efficiencies, as a result of the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system.

DPP provides mechanical and electrical maintenance and installation services mainly to the leisure, hospitality and retail sectors in the south of England and Wales. The company differentiates itself from competitors by employing a large and highly responsive team of skilled engineers. Following the loss of a significant customer in 2014, the company restructured its operations and has now secured a number of new contracts, allowing the business to materially improve its trading performance over the past twelve months.

Maven clients first invested in Just Trays, the UK's leading manufacturer of shower trays and related accessories, in June 2014. Subsequently, the business has increased its customer base and extended its product range, with a number of innovative new products to be launched in the current financial year. Just Trays repaid its bank debt in full during 2015 and is planning to invest in automation in the coming year, which should help improve the production facility and increase operating margins.

Your Board and the Manager continue to be mindful of the possible effects of the enduring low oil price on those companies that operate in the oil & gas market. The Manager has worked closely with these companies as they have implemented overhead reduction programmes, targeted at reducing the cost base and closing non-core operations with a view to conserving cash and positioning the businesses for recovery. Whilst the oil price has recovered from the lows witnessed earlier in the year, budgets remain conservative across the energy services sector, based on the expectation that the remainder of 2016 will be challenging, with recovery starting to feed through in the second half of 2017 as the oil price stabilises and the pent up demand for essential maintenance and repair work is released. In response to these market conditions, the valuations of Glacier Energy Services and HCS Control Systems Group have been reduced to cost. The Board and the Manager believe that the valuations of the remaining portfolio assets with exposure to the energy services sector are fair and reasonable and, following a number of profitable realisations in prior reporting periods, your Company's exposure to this sector has significantly reduced. The remaining assets are focused on the operational expenditure segment of the industry, rather than being dependent on large capital expenditure programmes or exploration projects.

New Investments

During the period, two new private company assets were added to the portfolio:

-- The GP Service (UK) is a provider of on-line services for general medical consultations and prescriptions, delivered through a web-based platform. The investment will enable The GP Service to accelerate the roll-out of its service across new geographic locations and to develop a range of products and services where there are strong market drivers.

-- Rockar is an innovative motor retailer with a disruptive technology platform led by a team with extensive sector experience. The investment will enable Rockar to enhance its product offering and finance new dealerships in high foot-fall shopping centres, working in partnership with leading global automotive brands including Hyundai and Jaguar Land Rover. Maven clients invested in Rockar alongside NVM Private Equity.

Further changes to the rules, announced in the March 2016 budget statement, imposed restrictions on the ability of VCTs to make certain new non-qualifying investments, for liquidity purposes including treasury bills and other government securities. In response to these changes, the Directors agreed to invest a total of GBP440,000 across five private equity investment trusts (PEITs). This represents a permitted investment under the amended legislation and gives your Company further exposure to an asset class that the Manager is familiar with, having knowledge of the respective portfolios and fund managers. The PEITs have been carefully selected and recommended by Maven and have income characteristics that will help support future dividend payments by your Company. There is also a prospect that the PEIT sector may be re-rated following recent acquisition activity, including the successful HarbourVest Partners bid for SVG Capital, creating the potential for capital gains to be achieved over the longer term.

More generally, the Board is highly cognisant of the importance of maintaining an effective liquidity management policy and the Directors are currently reviewing a range of income generating options with a view to maximising the returns from monies held prior to investment.

The following investments have been completed during the reporting period:

At the period end, the portfolio stood at 50 unlisted and AIM quoted investments, at a total cost of GBP3.5 million.

Realisations

During the period Crawford Scientific and DPP made partial repayments of loan notes and a final distribution was received from Kelvinlea.

Subsequent to the period end, the Manager has been engaged with several investee companies and prospective acquirers at various stages of a potential exit process.

This realisation activity reflects the increasing maturity of a number of holdings, but it should be noted that there can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to profitable exits.

The table below gives details of all realisations achieved, and deferred considerations received, during the reporting period:

(1) Proceeds exclude yield and redemption premiums received, which are disclosed as revenue for financial reporting purposes.

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

Material Developments Since the Period End

Since 30 September 2016, one new private company asset has been added to the portfolio. In October 2016, your Company completed the investment in Chic Lifestyle, an inventory management platform for the travel market, which allows small-scale independent operators to control the live distribution of boutique hotel rooms and luxury villas, and manage reservations in real time through leading traffic generators.

In November a new investment was completed in Growth Capital Ventures, a leading developer and operator of an on-line co-investment platform for the alternative finance sector.

In December 2016 Maven achieved an exit from Nenplas through a trade sale to a German acquirer, achieving a return of 2.9 times cost over the life of the investment.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were set out in full in the Strategic Report contained within the 2016 Annual Report, and are the risks associated with investment in small and medium sized unlisted and AIM/ISDX quoted companies which, by their nature, carry a higher level of risk and are subject to lower liquidity than investments in large 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 Directors have confirmed that all tests, including the criteria for VCT qualifying status, continue to be monitored and met.

Share Buy-backs

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 be bought back at prices representing a discount of between 10% and 20% to the prevailing NAV per share.

During the period under review 400,000 shares were bought back at a total cost of GBP210,000.

Regulatory Developments

As detailed in the 2016 Annual Report, the July 2015 Budget received Royal Assent on 18 November 2015, bringing into statute a number of material changes to the legislation governing the UK VCT scheme, aligning it with EU State Aid Rules for smaller company investment. The new rules impose specific restrictions on the types of transactions and companies which VCTs are able to pursue in order to retain qualifying status. As a further amendment, the March 2016 Budget statement announced that there would be changes to the rules governing non-qualifying investments by VCTs. With effect from 6 April 2016 VCTs were only permitted to make qualifying investments and certain limited investments for liquidity purposes, with other types of non-qualifying investments prohibited. Given the complexity of the new rules, and in order to ensure ongoing compliance, the Company continues to engage the services of an adviser to assist in interpreting the revised legislation in relation to all proposed transactions.

The Chancellor's 2016 Autumn Statement did not introduce further amendments to the VCT legislation. However, it did highlight that the Government will no longer be initiating a review into the provision to allow replacement capital in certain new VCT transactions, suggesting that this would be reviewed over the longer term.

The Statement also announced that, in response to the increase in the volume of applications submitted to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and the resultant delays being experienced in obtaining advanced assurance for the purpose of proposed investments, a consultation would be initiated into the options to streamline and prioritise the advanced assurance service provided by HMRC. The Manager welcomes this development, as the time taken at present to secure VCT advance assurance is causing delays to the completion of new investments.

Board of Directors

As intimated in the 2016 Annual Report, Jonathan Carr stood down as Director and Chairman at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 31 August 2016 and, following his successful re-election as a Director, Brian May succeeded Jonathan as Chairman. Fraser Gray was appointed as a Director on 1 July 2016 and was formally elected by Shareholders at the AGM.

Your Board and the Manager would like to take this opportunity to thank Jonathan for the valued contribution he has made since the launch of your Company and wish him every success for the future.

Offer for Subscription

On 23 September 2016, the Company announced its intention to launch an Offer for Subscription for New Ordinary Shares, for up to GBP6 million (with an over-allotment facility for a further GBP2 million), with shares to be issued in both the 2016/17 and 2017/18 tax years. Notwithstanding the introduction of the new VCT rules, the Board is aware that the Manager has a large and diverse pipeline of new investment opportunities that should meet the requirements of the revised VCT legislation. The Directors believe that launching an Offer represents an opportunity to further increase the Company's assets in anticipation of the development of a larger and more diversified portfolio of investments in the years ahead. A Prospectus containing full details of the proposed Offer is being prepared for publication in late 2016.

Outlook

Shareholders will be aware of the result of the referendum in June 2016, in which the electorate expressed the wish that the UK should leave the EU. Although the full impact of this decision will become clearer over time, the businesses in which your Company has invested will maintain or adapt their growth strategies as appropriate, with many exporters already seeing a short-term benefit from the devaluation of Sterling against several major currencies that has occurred at the date of this report.

The Directors are mindful that the introduction of the revised VCT legislation has imposed a number of restrictions on the types of businesses and transactions in which VCTs can invest. This will require the Manager to focus on the provision of development capital or investing in businesses with growth finance requirements, at the expense of management buy-out or acquisition based transactions which have traditionally offered more predictable returns. Your Board is confident that the experienced investment team employed by the Manager across its national office network, remains capable of sourcing opportunities which continue to meet its investment quality criteria.

Your Board remains committed to delivering the Company's core objectives of achieving long term capital appreciation and generating maintainable levels of income for Shareholders. The Director's consider that the current portfolio of private company holdings, alongside the pipeline of new investments, offers the ability to maintain a regular yield for your Company and support future Shareholder returns.
