Chairman's Statement
Overview
On behalf of your Board, I am pleased to announce the results for the six months to 31 May 2017, with positive performance resulting in a 4.27% increase in NAV total return.
During the reporting period, further progress has been made by your Company, with the completion of four new VCT qualifying investments in a range of fast growing private companies operating across a number of diverse sectors with a further two new investments completed after the period end. The Manager has achieved this against the backdrop of an increasingly complex investment environment under the new VCT rules, exacerbated by a more detailed process for gaining advance assurance for qualifying transactions from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
The majority of the businesses in the unlisted portfolio have continued to trade well, delivering growth that has supported certain valuation uplifts, in tandem with an AIM portfolio that has also appreciated in value over the period. Whilst the strategy remains to reduce the proportion of the portfolio invested in AIM, the disposals completed during the period have been offset by the strong performance of the AIM portfolio.
Dividends
The Directors and the Manager recognise the importance to investors of tax-free distributions. As highlighted by the Board in the 2016 Annual Report, Shareholders should be aware that the change to support younger and earlier stage businesses, as dictated by the new VCT investment rules, may result in less predictable capital gains and income flows, with the result that the quantum and timing of future dividend payments is likely to be subject to fluctuation. Due to a number of recent profitable realisations and in order to ensure your Company's ongoing compliance with the VCT regulations, the Board considered it appropriate to declare an enhanced interim dividend.
The Board has, therefore, declared an interim capital dividend of 2.00p per Ordinary Share to be paid on 15 September 2017 to Shareholders on the register at 25 August 2017. Since the Company's launch, and after receipt of the interim dividend, Shareholders will have received 36.45p per share in tax-free dividends. The effect of paying the dividend will be to reduce the NAV of the Company by the total cost of the distribution.
Whilst decisions on future distributions will take into consideration the availability of surplus revenue, the proceeds from any further realisations and the VCT qualifying levels of the portfolio, it is the Board's current intention to maintain distributions for the full year at a similar level to that of the year ended 30 November 2016, although this will be kept under close review.
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 15% to the prevailing NAV per share. During the period under review, 250,000 shares were bought back at a total cost of GBP86,000.
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/NEX 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 Board has confirmed that all tests, including the criteria for VCT qualifying status, continue to be monitored and met.
Regulatory Developments
The Chancellor's March 2017 Budget Statement did not introduce any further amendments to the legislation governing VCTs, but reiterated the announcements made in the 2016 Autumn Statement. The most noteworthy of these was 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 may be reviewed at some point in the future. Whilst the Board and the Manager were disappointed by this announcement, as the ability to include replacement capital was viewed as an important capability under the new rules, it does not impact the Company's investment strategy, which has already adapted to meet the requirements of the new rules.
The Board is pleased with the increased engagement by the Manager and the wider VCT industry to lobby the UK Treasury to highlight the benefit which VCTs provide to the small and medium enterprises sector and, in particular, job creation.
In addition, in response to the increased volume of applications submitted and the resultant delays experienced in obtaining clearance for proposed investments, a consultation was launched into the options to streamline the advance assurance service provided by HMRC. The summary responses of this consultation were released in late March 2017 and a further detailed report and analysis is expected in due course.
Outlook
Whilst it is early days for a number of the new investee companies, initial indications suggest that they are performing to plan and should, over time, represent valuable additions to the portfolio. During the period, Maven extended its nationwide presence through the opening of four new offices, expanding the network to ten locations across the UK. This regional approach ensures that the investment team is in the best possible position to access potential investment opportunities through their local network of contacts. This geographic presence is delivering a strong pipeline of prospective investment opportunities and, based on current momentum, it is anticipated that the rate of investment for the remainder of the financial year will be at a higher level compared to the previous year, subject to securing advance assurance from HMRC.
As the portfolio further expands, and the proportion of younger and earlier stage investee companies increases, there is likely to be an impact on the quantum and timing of future Shareholder distributions. However, this is balanced by the maturing profile of the historic portfolio, which may give rise to future realisations.

Investment Manager's Interim Review
Overview
In the first half of the financial year, Maven continued to focus on sourcing attractive VCT qualifying investment opportunities that meet the requirements of the revised VCT legislation, as detailed in the 2016 Annual Report. Since the introduction of the new VCT rules in 2015, Maven has provided development capital to ten qualifying private companies, demonstrating its flexible approach and ability to adapt to the requirements of the revised legislation. It has, however, become apparent that new transactions are taking considerably longer to complete, due to the requirement to secure advance assurance tax clearance from HMRC, for each new investment.
Given the complexity of the new rules, Maven maintains a cautious approach and continues to work closely with a specialist VCT adviser engaged by the Company to assist with the VCT tax clearance process, only completing investments once advance assurance has been secured. The investment team continues to progress all other aspects of live transactions in order to facilitate a swift completion once approval is granted. There are a number of active new transactions which are well-progressed and it is anticipated that there will be a good rate of new investment activity through the second half of the financial year.
Portfolio Developments
The portfolio of private company holdings has generally performed well, resulting in the valuations of a number of companies being increased. It is reassuring to note that, despite the political and economic uncertainty resulting from the recent General Election and the UK's intended exit from the European Union (EU), there is, to date, no discernible impact to report, aside from the short-term benefit a number of exporters have experienced following the devaluation of Sterling in June 2016.
Cursor Controls, a global leader in the design and niche manufacture of trackballs for cursor movement used in industrial applications, has performed well since Maven clients invested in July 2015. The business continues to deliver good levels of organic growth and performance was further enhanced by the acquisition, in April 2016, of Belgian based distributor of trackballs and other associated products, NSI bvba. The acquisition formed part of Maven's investment proposal and is expected to be significantly earnings enhancing, with a number of commercial and operational synergies identified to help drive growth and profitability of the enlarged group. The management team is encouraged by the integration process to date, with NSI trading to plan and the core Cursor business continuing to deliver organic growth.
Crawford Scientific, the UK's leading independent provider of outsourced chromatography consumables products and services to the laboratory research and testing sectors, continues to trade ahead of plan. The business leverages its world-class technical expertise to offer a complete end-to-end solution for users of chromatography instruments and techniques. Crawford has consistently outperformed since the initial investment by Maven clients in August 2014, including the successful acquisition and integration of analytical services company, Hall Analytical Laboratories, during 2015. The business continues to make good progress across all divisions and is on track to deliver further growth in the current year. Strong financial performance and cash generation has enabled the company to make a voluntary partial repayment of Maven client loan notes during the period.
The UK's largest provider of promotional merchandise, SPS (EU), has achieved excellent growth under private equity ownership since Maven clients invested in February 2014. Operational improvements have enhanced profitability following the successful implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system. The complementary acquisitions of HPP and TEC, completed during the year to 31 December 2015, have been successfully integrated within the group and are delivering a positive profit contribution. The company has invested in sales resource to help penetrate the European market, and this region is starting to contribute significantly to group performance. The balance sheet remains healthy and the business continues to reduce its core term debt.
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 by operating through an employed and managed team of engineers, as opposed to engaging with a network of subcontractors. The business has made considerable progress over the past twelve months by enhancing operational procedures and reducing costs, which has led to a significant improvement in profitability. A number of new contracts were secured during the year and the outlook is positive, which is highly encouraging given the challenges experienced during 2014 when DPP lost a key customer. The company has no external bank debt and was able to make a voluntary partial repayment of Maven client loan notes during the period.
The Manager maintains a close working relationship with investee companies operating within the oil & gas sector and it is encouraging to report that the majority of these assets are seeing early signs of improving market conditions. After three years of steady decline, conditions appear to have stabilised. Following extensive cost cutting, the Maven portfolio companies are operating with lean structures and have limited or no external debt. As such, they are relatively well-positioned to benefit from a market recovery. The majority of Maven's investee companies in this market are focused on operational expenditure, particularly related to health and safety, and whilst budgets have been set conservatively there is evidence of growing confidence, with order books and workshops recording higher activity levels. The Board will continue to monitor the performance of investee companies in this sector but, at present, believe that the valuations of the assets with exposure to the oil & gas sector remain fair and reasonable.
Turning to AIM, the most notable performers within the quoted portfolio were Ideagen, Concurrent Technologies and Servoca, where good trading updates have resulted in share price appreciation and generated a combined valuation increase of GBP1.79 million for your Company over the six month period.
Ideagen continues to make excellent progress both financially and operationally with the results for the year to 30 April 2017 delivering further growth. Reported revenue increased 24% to GBP27.11 million, from GBP21.94 million in the prior year, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increasing 26% to GBP7.89 million. Strong organic revenue growth of 10% was supplemented by the complementary acquisitions of Covalent, IPI, PleaseTech and Logen, which completed during the period. Recurring revenue now accounts for 57% of total revenue and covers 93% of the fixed overhead base. The company continues to follow a strategy of acquiring good quality assets with strong intellectual property and recurring revenues to further strengthen the product offering. Consistent with this, Ideagen completed the earnings enhancing acquisitions of PleaseTech and IPI Solutions in the second half of the year. The acquisition of PleaseTech was funded via an oversubscribed placing for GBP10 million at 75p per share. The management team are confident of the future prospects for the enlarged business.
In the year to 31 December 2016, Concurrent Technologies delivered a solid set of results that were in line with market expectations. The company reported revenue of GBP16.42 million, generating a 6.2% increase in profit before tax to GBP2.90 million, compared to GBP2.73 million in 2015. The balance sheet has continued to strengthen, with net cash at the year end of GBP7.78 million and no borrowings. The good cash performance has facilitated a 10.5% increase in the full year dividend to 2.10p per share. The outlook for the current year is positive, supported by a growing customer base with a number of new contracts recently secured, a global political shift fostering defence sales and continuing technological opportunities in telecommunications.
Servoca continues to perform well and reported a strong set of results for the six month period to 31 March 2017 that were significantly ahead of the same period last year. Reported revenue increased 18.8% to GBP40.93 million, with adjusted EBITDA increasing 28.3% to GBP1.95 million, the key drivers to the enhanced profitability being the recruitment and outsourcing operations. Recruitment, which accounts for 79% of group sales, experienced strong positive momentum within the criminal justice business and, whilst the NHS supply market faced some challenges due to price caps placing downward pressure on margins, Servoca has mitigated the impact through the development of a low cost offshore capability, which has made an encouraging start. Based on the positive momentum of the first half of the year, management believe that the group is well-placed to deliver the market expectations for the full year.
It is disappointing to report that the holding in K3 Business Technologies suffered a substantial reduction in value during the period following the release of a negative pre-close trading update, which indicated that the results for the year to 30 June 2017 would be below market expectations. The company has subsequently raised GBP7.5 million through a placing and the proceeds will be used to strengthen the balance sheet and provide additional working capital. The board is conducting a review of the business and a further update is expected in due course.
The recent new investments in private equity investment trusts and real estate investment trusts have performed well over the period, generating valuable income through dividend payments. The Board and the Manager are encouraged by this contribution and believe that these investments will provide a steady and reliable source of income for your Company. This is particularly important in light of the restrictions introduced in the March 2016 Budget Statement, which prevent future investment in traditional instruments such as treasury bills or other government securities for liquidity management purposes.
The Board and the Manager remain highly cognisant of the importance of maintaining an effective liquidity management policy and will continue to consider a range of other permitted income generating investment options.
New Investments
During the period, your Company provided development capital to four private companies operating across a range of sectors:
-- Whiterock Group, a provider of innovative cloud-based 360(o) visualisation solutions that enable clients to navigate every detail of hard-to-access assets and facilities, such as oil rigs, nuclear reactors and government buildings. The investment will enable the company to roll-out the software and provide additional capacity to deliver on its strong pipeline of current opportunities.
-- QikServe, a developer of a patented software product aimed at multi-outlet hospitality operators such as restaurants, hotels and casinos. This enables customers to order and pay for food and drinks, and to participate in customer loyalty schemes, via an app on a smartphone or tablet device. QikServe is currently the only globally accredited mobile ordering system that is fully integrated with a world-leading electronic point of sale provider, Oracle Hospitality. The investment will enable the company to further develop its technology and expand into international markets, particularly the US.
-- ebb3 is a technology company that develops mobile workspace solutions addressing the need for seamless and secure access to apps, files and services on any device, in any location. It is specifically targeted at high-end 3D computer graphics users within the automotive (Formula 1), construction, oil & gas and education sectors, where there is a requirement for data-intensive applications that can service geographically dispersed, multi-disciplinary teams. ebb3 has high profile partnership agreements with providers such as Cisco, NetApp and NVidia, and the investment will enable the business to pursue its growth strategy in this niche part of the growing supercomputing market.
-- Horizon Cremation plans to develop and operate a portfolio of next generation crematoria across the UK, where existing facilities are either under-invested or in short supply. Horizon is seeking to build contemporary facilities that are environmentally and technologically advanced, offering enhanced professional service and care levels for families. The company has secured full planning consent for its first crematorium in North Ayrshire, Scotland and construction commenced in May 2017. The investment will provide capital to source and secure subsequent development sites, whilst supporting the operational expenditure and overheads of the initial crematorium.

At the period end, the portfolio stood at 94 unlisted and quoted investments, at a total cost of GBP31.01 million.
Realisations
During the period, realisations were achieved through the partial repayment of loan notes by Crawford Scientific and DPP, and the release of recovery proceeds from Space Student Living.
In line with the strategy of reducing the exposure to AIM, partial exits were achieved from the holdings in Concurrent Technologies, Ideagen and Water Intelligence, all at prices significantly above the original entry cost. In addition, the holding in Bond International was exited in full following a divestment programme and subsequent members' voluntary liquidation, which returned distributions to Shareholders.
As at the date of this report, the Manager is engaged with several other investee companies and prospective acquirers at various stages of the negotiations process, although there can be no certainty that these discussions will result in profitable sales.
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 includes the redemption of loan notes by a number of investee companies.
Two AIM companies were struck off the Register of Companies during the period, resulting in realised losses of GBP635,000 (cost GBP635,000). This had no effect on the NAV of the Company as a full provision had been made against the value of each holding in earlier periods.
Material Developments Since the Period End
Since 31 May 2017, two new private company assets have been added to the portfolio.
ITS Technology, a leading alternative network provider that owns and maintains fibre networks, providing faster and more reliable broadband connectivity, and related services, to customers, particularly in areas that are not well serviced by the existing infrastructure. The business currently has 12 fibre broadband networks in operation, with a further five under construction. The investment will help to fund growth within the existing networks, build a stable recurring revenue base and also support expansion through the addition of new networks.
Contego Fraud Solutions, a provider of a complex, multi-source compliance and fraud detection software platform for public and private sector clients, including property, banking and financial services. The application performs a vast number of screening, verification and vetting assessments including Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering to fulfil both real- time customer on-boarding and on-going monitoring of regulatory requirements. The investment will support the continued growth of the business, facilitating the hiring of additional sales resources, further product development and expansion into new markets.
Outlook
The Manager is encouraged by the performance achieved by the private and AIM listed portfolio during the reporting period. Notwithstanding the uncertain economic and political backdrop following the UK's decision to leave the EU, and the more recent General Election, the portfolio of investee companies has generally continued to trade in line with expectations, with no discernible impact on performance as a consequence of the political uncertainty. This demonstrates the strength and breadth of the underlying portfolio and its ability to continue to generate positive returns for Shareholders.

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 returns per share figures are relevant. The basic and diluted earnings per share are therefore identical.
