June 2011.
Shareholders approved a final dividend of 3 pence per share payable on 24 June
2011 to Shareholders on the register on 3 June 2011. This will bring cumulative
dividends paid to 21.7 pence per share.
Shareholders approved the introduction of a dividend investment scheme which

NEW INVESTMENTS
During the quarter the Company completed a follow-on investment in ASL
Technology Holdings Limited of £409,000. After the quarter end the Company
completed a follow-on investment in Fullfield Limited of £280,879 and committed
to invest a further £158,000 in Monsal Holdings Limited of which £42,000 had
been invested.
DIVESTMENTS
The Company received loan repayments and associated premia from several of its
investee companies being, IGLU.com Holidays Limited (£876,207), Machineworks
Software Limited (£116,588) and Vectair Holdings Limited (£90,322).
Machineworks Software Limited is one of two companies the Company now has an
investment in, arising from the demerger of VSI Limited. The other is
Lightworks Software Limited. As a result of the loan repayment by Machineworks,
the Company retains an equity investment in both companies.
LINKED OFFER
During the quarter the Linked Offer launched in November 2010 with two other
Matrix advised VCTs, has raised a further £2.91 million of net funds. 2,521,910
Ordinary Shares were allotted at a price of 121.8 pence per share in the
quarter. On 10 May 2011 a further 302,300 Ordinary Shares were allotted at
119.5 pence per share.
The Board expects that one further allotment under this Offer will occur in
early July. The underlying NAV per share to be used will therefore be 112.90p
(115.90p as above less the 3p dividend to be paid on 24 June 2011) giving an
offer price of 119.50p per share.
SHARE BUY-BACKS
The Company bought back 139,952 of its own Ordinary Shares at a price of 101.5
pence per share on 19 May 2011.
