INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

 

New Investments

 

On 2 October 2015, amounts held in existing companies preparing to trade, Knighton Management Limited (£0.89 million) and Tovey Management Limited (£0.85 million), were used to invest in Access IS Limited, a leading provider of data capture and scanning hardware. A further non-qualifying loan of £0.22 million was made to Access IS Limited.

 

A follow-on loan investment was also made into Racoon International of £0.05 million, on 7 October 2015.

 

Realisations

 

On 2 December 2015, the Company realised its investment in Tessella Holdings Limited.

 

The Company received £2.10 million from the sale and realised a gain over cost of £1.39 million. As part of the transaction, the Company has retained a small investment in Preservica, a data archiving business previously held within Tessella. Total cash proceeds received over the life of this investment are £2.55 million and represent a multiple of 2.8 times the original cost of this investment of £0.91 million.

 

During January 2016, a total of £0.17 million was received as deferred consideration from previous disposals of Monsal Holdings, Focus Pharma Holdings, Youngman Group and ATG Media Holdings.

 

Loan Stock Repayments

 

A total of £0.23 million was received in loan stock repayments and premiums during the quarter to 31 December 2015, from Jablite, Leap New Co (Ward Thomas), and Fullfield (Motorclean).

 

After the quarter end, a further £0.66 million in loan stock repayments and premiums was received from Leap New Co (Ward Thomas) and Fullfield (Motorclean).

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

 

In the Half-Yearly Report to shareholders dated 26 November 2015, the Board informed shareholders of its intended response to the new legislation contained in the UK Finance Act 2015, which had become law on 18 November 2015. In summary, the new rules are designed to ensure that VCT investment is used only for growth and development purposes. Investments by VCTs to finance the acquisitions of businesses, such as MBO investments, are no longer permitted. The Board stated that it would draft a revised Investment Policy which it would invite shareholders to approve at or before the next annual general meeting.

 

Since the Half-Yearly Report, the Board has continued to work with the Investment Adviser and other professional advisers to understand the full implications of the new rules for the Investment Policy. At this juncture, the Board sees no reason to amend its response, as outlined above and more fully in the Half-Yearly Report. Alongside this process, the Investment Adviser is focusing upon investment opportunities that comply with the new legislation.

Other than as described above, there were no material events during the quarter and to the date of this announcement.
