The early stage-focused technology investor said that for the quarter ended June 30, the value of its total assets declines to GBP2.8 million from GBP5.5 million in the previous quarter.

Of the rest of the listed portfolio, a profit of GBP8,000 was realised on investments valued at GBP78,000 at March 31, and there was an unrealised gain of GBP137,000 on the remaining GBP1.7 million of listed investments brought forward.
