NEW INVESTMENTS
During the quarter ended 30 September 2009, the Company has invested GBP280,323
in five companies, including an investment of GBP245,072 in Camwatch Limited.
After the period end, an investment totalling GBP1m was completed in Allied
International, as a part of a total investment of GBP3 million made alongside
Core VCT and Core VCT IV. Allied International is a leading Destination
Management Company, with operations throughout Europe and America.
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 current 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 6 months as acquisition terms become more attractive.
As in all Venture Capital Trusts, there is little if any liquidity 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. Shareholders might 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 2009 and the date of publication of this interim
management statement which would have a material impact on the financial
position of the Company.
