Share Capital 
The Company has not issued or bought back any shares during the period.  The 
Company's issued share capital currently stands at 11,024,969 ordinary shares. 
 
As is common in 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. 
 
Outlook 
We hope to deploy the remaining cash resources in the coming months.  With the 
investment programme now almost complete, our focus is managing the existing 
portfolio.  The average age of the portfolio is still relatively young, and in 
general our approach is to continue to hold our investments as they increase in 
scale and as market conditions for exits improve.
