    *NAV plus cumulative dividends paid to date
    
 
    DIVIDENDS
    No dividends were paid during the period. 

    NEW INVESTMENTS
    No new unlisted investments were made in the period. 

    SHARE CAPITAL
    The Company has not issued or bought back any shares during the period.
    
 
    OUTLOOK
    The Managers continue to exercise caution in completing new investments given the deteriorating economic outlook. This has resulted in
new investments being slower than otherwise might be the case. However the fund has a strong liquidity position which will be used to
acquire additional qualifying investments in the next 12-18 months as acquisition terms become more attractive. 
    In common with all Venture Capital Trusts, there is little if any available liquidity in trading in the Company's shares, and although
the Directors are able to buy back shares within certain constraints, this is intended for use only in exceptional circumstances.
Accordingly, those investors who seek to
realise value by selling their shares in the secondary market are likely to suffer a significant discount and potential loss of value. We
would strongly suggest that shareholders consider holding their shares with a view to benefiting from future realisations.

Other than as set out above, the Board is not aware of any significant events or transactions which have occurred between 30 September 2008
and the date of publication of this interim management statement which would have a material impact on the financial position of the
Company.
