Overview
During the period under review, your Company has made further significant progress in the construction of a broadly based portfolio of private equity and AIM investments, with the deployment of GBP5.49 million in 15 new and follow-on VCT qualifying investments, which the Manager considers offer the prospect of capital gains as these investments mature and are realised. A further GBP1.56 million was invested post the period end and the investment pipeline for the second half of the year remains strong, with a number of additional new investments in progress.
This deployment of capital represents a continuation of the strategy introduced in 2014, with the objective of significantly expanding the number of holdings in the portfolio following the completion of several fundraisings, which substantially increased the size of your Company and the resources available to it. All new private company investments will initially be held at cost, and any uplifts in valuation will only be considered when there is evidence of sustained commercial progress against the key milestones set at the time of original investment. Although this may cause a slight lag or delay in NAV total return progression, the medium to long-term prospects for your Company remain encouraging, given the much larger and diverse investee company portfolio currently being developed.
It is pleasing to report that trading performance across the portfolio as a whole remains generally positive, with no discernible impact from the current political uncertainty and a number of portfolio companies making good progress against the commercial milestones set at the time of original investment. The pipeline of investment opportunities remains strong and it is anticipated that there will be a good level of additional completions and deployment during the second half of the year.
The strategy remains to invest in carefully selected UK smaller unlisted and AIM quoted companies, operating across a diverse range of industries that offer either compelling proprietary technology or a disruptive business model capable of scalable growth. The addition of several new holdings in AIM quoted companies reflects the quality of opportunities currently available in this market. Maven also has a preference for supporting proven management teams with successful track records in previous businesses. The expansion of Maven's investment team to include a number of executives with specific sector expertise, particularly focused towards younger, high growth businesses, is further benefiting the initial asset screening and selection process.
Portfolio Developments
During the period, the majority of companies in the investee portfolio performed in line with expectations, despite the continued uncertainty within the UK economy surrounding the UK's intended exit from the European Union. It is encouraging to report that, following four years of exceptionally challenging market conditions, trading within the majority of the oil & gas portfolio has continued to improve. Maven executives remain in close and regular dialogue with the management teams of the companies with exposure to this sector, and are monitoring performance carefully.
Elsewhere in the portfolio, a number of the established private company holdings have had their valuations increased to reflect improved performance.
Cursor Controls, a global leader in the design and manufacture of trackballs, trackpads and keyboards for use in specialist industrial applications, including health, defence and marine, has continued to deliver good levels of organic growth. Performance was enhanced by the acquisition of Belgium based distributor NSI in April 2016, which delivered further commercial and operational synergies to support growth and increase profitability. During the period under review, the business received an offer from a UK listed acquirer and a sale completed post the period end at a premium to carrying value, generating a total return of 2.7 times cost over the three-year investment period.
Diversified renewable energy services group GEV has experienced strong growth over the past year, particularly in the US through its largest division GEV Wind Power, which specialises in wind turbine blade maintenance. The US market opportunity is sizeable and the business is well positioned to capitalise on this over the coming year, having secured contracts with leading providers including MHI Vestas, Eon, Siemens and Invenergy. The management team is also forecasting strong performance in the UK and Europe in the year ahead.
Specialist electronics manufacturer CB Technology has made considerable progress over the past year, gaining a number of notable new clients, adding to the existing strong customer base. The company, which assembles and tests high-end printed circuit boards for use in industrial and semiconductor markets, has experienced a marked improvement in activity levels during the full year to 31 March 2018. Headcount has been increased to accommodate the record order book and the management team is optimistic on the outlook for the year ahead.
Vodat Communications supplies data networks, IP telephony, wi-fi solutions and fixed line connectivity to retail customers, with a solid blue chip customer base including Ted Baker, Beaverbrooks and Welcome Break. Maven clients supported the management buy-out in 2012 and, since investment, the business has achieved positive growth and added a number of new customer contracts. In November 2017, Vodat completed the complementary acquisition of Axonex, a provider of specialist IT solutions, services and support specialising in unified communications, data centre, security and network infrastructure. The acquisition, which was funded through cash and bank debt, has created a number of cross selling opportunities to help deliver further growth for the enlarged group.
In addition, follow-on funding was provided to ebb3, Growth Capital Ventures, ITS Technology, Pelatro, The GP Service and Whiterock. Given their stage of development, the requirement to provide further capital to earlier stage qualifying companies was anticipated at the time of initial investment and was reflected in the reduced total commitment size by the Maven VCTs, and by the strategy of co-investing alongside other VCT houses. In terms of valuation, all new development capital investments will continue to be held at cost, or cost less provision, until there is clear evidence of measurable progress or a quantifiable event against which a new valuation level can be validated.
The investment trust portfolio has continued to trade well and generate healthy levels of income. This is particularly important in light of the restriction introduced by the Finance Act 2016, which prevents non-qualifying investments 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.
As well as reflecting the positive trading performance highlighted above, your Board has also taken a provision against the holding in Fathom Systems, which operates in the subsea sector of the oil & gas market where recovery is lagging the general market improvement. In addition, full provisions were taken against the value of the holdings in Lambert Contracts and Chic Lifestyle prior to them being placed into administration.
New Investments
During the period, your Company provided development capital to four VCT qualifying private companies operating in growth markets:
-- BioAscent Discovery is a drug discovery services business that was founded by former pharmaceutical executives with over 30 years' experience of delivering clinical drug candidates. The business operates from the former Merck Sharpe and Dohme R&D site in Newhouse, Scotland, which is a state-of-the-art facility, housing client compound libraries which can range in size up to several hundred thousand compounds. The funding will be used to add complementary chemistry and biology services to the existing compound management service, to create a highly differentiated and integrated drug discovery offering.
-- Bright Network is a developer and provider of a media technology platform that enables medium and large sized companies to identify, reach and recruit good quality university graduates and young professionals. The platform currently supports a network of over 150,000 high calibre candidates and has a customer base of over 250 leading employers, including Bloomberg, Marks & Spencer and Vodafone. The Maven client investment will support the development of the technology, as well as providing funding to further business development and marketing activities.
-- Lending Works has developed a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform that matches private and institutional lenders to individual borrowers, and has grown to become the third largest P2P consumer lender in the UK. The company is well regarded by customers and partners as a responsible and ethical market leader, being the first major P2P platform to be fully authorised by the FCA, and the first to be authorised to provide an ISA offering. The investment by the Maven VCTs will enable the company to accelerate future growth.
-- Optoscribe has developed an integrated platform of optical and photonic technologies that use high-power lasers to direct-write optical waveguides, which minimise energy dissipation and have applications in a wide range of markets including telecom, datacom, and mobile networks. Optoscribe's innovative techniques can form these guides in precise 3D orientations, and thereby simplify manufacturing processes by delivering highly efficient and scalable products. The barriers to entry into this market are significant and as such, the company's existing intellectual property (including patents) and technical know-how gives it a defensible market position. The investment will enable the management team to scale manufacturing capacity and support further business development activity.
In addition, five qualifying AIM quoted companies were added to the portfolio:
-- Avacta is the developer of proprietary Affimer technology, which is a novel engineered alternative to antibodies. Affimer proteins can be developed as therapeutic molecules for use in a wide range of other life science applications in research and diagnostics. Your Company participated in the July 2018 fundraising, which raised a total of GBP11.6 million (gross) and the proceeds provide Avacta with the financial runway to hit important near-term milestones over the next two years.
-- Creo Medical is a medical device company focused on the development of minimally invasive surgical devices in the emerging field of surgical endoscopy. Your Company participated in the July 2018 share placing, which raised a total of GBP48.5 million (gross). The proceeds will enable Creo Medical to accelerate its commercialisation strategy, complete the development of its existing surgical suite and develop new products, as well as attract partners and facilitate the potential for strategic merger and acquisition activity.
-- Diurnal is a speciality pharmaceutical company that is developing high quality products for the global market for the life-long treatment of rare and chronic endocrine conditions including Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Adrenal Insufficiency. Your Company participated in the GBP10.5 million (gross) fundraising, which completed in April 2018, and the proceeds are being used to support the development and commercialisation of its adrenal products.
-- KRM22 is a technology and software investment company with a specific focus on risk management in capital markets. Your Company participated in the Initial Public Offering in April 2018, when it was admitted to trading on AIM having raised a total of GBP10.3 million. The proceeds will be used to make investments in line with KRM22's Investing Policy and to provide working capital for the future growth and development of the business.
-- Scancell is the developer of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer based on its patented ImmunoBody(R) and Moditope(R) technology platforms. Your Company participated in the GBP8.7 million total fundraising, which completed in May 2018, and the proceeds are being used to progress the development of its cancer treatments.

Subsequent to the reporting period, the Manager has been in dialogue with several investee companies and prospective acquirers at various stages of the negotiation process, although there can be no certainty that these discussions will result in profitable exits.
Material Developments Since the Period End
Since 30 September 2018, three new private and AIM quoted company holdings have been added to the portfolio.
-- Boiler Plan has developed an innovative online platform for the purchase, installation and financing of domestic boilers. The platform supports the entire boiler sales process, handling everything from the choice of appliance, the initial home survey, finance payment options, installation by a qualified engineer and the ongoing maintenance and aftercare service. The investment will be used to roll out operations into new UK territories and also to support the marketing programme.
-- Motokiki has developed the UK's first independent price comparison website for vehicle tyres, providing consumers with market-wide, free and impartial information on tyre prices, availability and fitting costs. Motokiki is led by a highly experienced management team, including CEO and co-founder Debra Williams, who previously achieved notable success as managing director of Confused.com and CEO of Tesco Compare. The Maven VCT investment will be used to support sales and marketing initiatives, raise brand awareness, grow the customer base and develop new strategic partnerships.
-- C4X Discovery is a drug discovery company, that aims to exploit innovative technologies to design and create best-in-class small-molecule candidates targeting a range of high value therapeutic areas. Your Company participated in the GBP10.1 million (gross) AIM fundraising, which completed in October 2018 with the proceeds being used to strengthen the balance sheet, provide working capital, and increase commercial capabilities.
In October 2018, the holding in Cursor Controls was sold at a premium to carrying value. The sale to discoverIE Group plc, a UK listed international designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative components for electronic applications, achieved a total return multiple of 2.7 times cost over the three year investment period.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were set out in full in the Strategic Report contained within the 2018 Annual Report, and are the risks associated with investment in small and medium sized unlisted and AIM/NEX quoted companies which, by their nature, carry a higher level of risk and are subject to lower liquidity than investments in 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.
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 may be bought back at prices representing a discount of between 10% and 20% of the prevailing NAV per share.
Regulatory Developments
The General Data Protection Regulation came into force on 25 May 2018, replacing the Data Protection Act 1998. This regulation enforces the principle of 'privacy by design and by default' and enshrines new rights for individuals, including the right to be forgotten and to data portability. The Manager has worked with the third parties that process Shareholders' personal data to ensure that their rights under the new regulation are respected.
In July 2018, the Financial Reporting Council published an update of the UK Corporate Governance Code, which focuses on the application and reporting of the updated Principles. The Code applies to all companies with a Premium Listing and is applicable for all accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
Following the wide reaching legislative changes introduced by the Finance Act 2015, with further amendments included in the Finance Act 2018, the Chancellor's October 2018 Budget Statement did not propose any new amendments to the legislation governing VCTs.
Outlook
Based on the current level of new transaction activity, it is expected that a meaningful number of new investments will be completed during the second half of the financial year, consistent with the Company's strategy of further expanding and diversifying the portfolio. Your Board and the Manager remain committed to building a large and broadly based portfolio of valuable private and AIM quoted companies that are capable of delivering positive Shareholder returns in the years ahead.
