Kings Arms Yard VCT PLC Interim Management Statement

Introduction
I  am pleased to present Kings Arms  Yard VCT PLC's interim management statement
for  the period from  1 July to 14 November  2011 as required by  the UK Listing
Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rule 4.3.

Performance and dividends
The  Company's unaudited net asset value (NAV), based on management accounts, as
at  30 September 2011 was £34.6 million, including cash balances of £9.3 million
(30  June 2011: NAV £17.7 million, cash  balances of £3.4 million) or 16.5 pence
per share (30 June 2011: 16.0 pence per share).

The  increase in  total net  assets since  30 June 2011(including cash balances)
reflects  the inclusion of all the assets and liabilities of Kings Arms Yard VCT
2 PLC following the Scheme of Arrangement dated 30 September 2011.

The current NAVs and comparative figures are calculated after accounting for the
dividend  of 0.67 pence per share  (total cost: £739,000) which  was paid on 24
June 2011 to shareholders on the register as at 27 May 2011.

The  Company's net asset  value has risen  by 0.5 pence per  share since 30 June
2011 due  in part to an  increase in the valuation  of Academia Networks Limited
and the offset of management fees and other expenses incurred.
