NORTHERN VENTURE TRUST PLC
HALF-YEARLY MANAGEMENT REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
The six month period to 31 March 2010 has seen a continuation of difficult
conditions in the UK economy and financial markets. Against this background our
company has made further progress.
Results and dividend
The net asset value (NAV) per ordinary share at 31 March 2010, after deducting
the interim dividend of 3.0p per share paid on 19 March 2010, was 78.9p,
compared with 80.3p at 30 September 2009. The return per share for the period
before dividends as shown in the income statement was 1.7p (corresponding period
0.6p). As noted previously, the income flow from both our venture capital
portfolio and our fixed-income investments has reduced as a result of the
dramatic fall in market interest rates over the past two years. The company has
established one of the strongest and most consistent distribution records in the
VCT sector, with dividends totalling over £33 million paid to ordinary
shareholders since the company was launched, and it remains your board's
objective to maintain an annual dividend of not less than 6.0p per share.
Investments
The flow of new investment proposals has improved after a relatively quiet
2009, and three new investments totalling £3.6 million were completed during the
half year:
·               Lanner Group (£832,000) - developer of business process
simulation software, Redditch
·               Kerridge Commercial Systems (£1,740,000) - developer of
software for the distribution sector, Hungerford
·               RCC Lifesciences (£995,000) - acquisition vehicle for
lifesciences businesses, Manchester
We remain willing to invest further funds in existing portfolio companies to
support growth and reduce bank borrowings, and a total of £2.3 million was
invested in five companies during the period.
Opportunities to exit from investments have been more difficult to secure than
was the case last year. In November 2009 the occupational health business
Abermed was sold to International SOS for cash proceeds of £1,081,000, a gain of
£481,000 over the original cost of £600,000. The valuation of several holdings
has been increased to reflect strong trading performance, notably from Weldex
(International) Offshore and IG Doors.
I reported in my previous statement on the highly rewarding exit in September
2009 from the biotechnology company DxS. Your directors were delighted to hear
that this success has subsequently received wider recognition in the form of the
BVCA/Real Deals Deal of the Year Award 2010, for which the NVM Private Equity
team and in particular Tim Levett are to be congratulated.
Shareholder issues
The C shares issued in the 2005/06 tax year were converted into new ordinary
shares on 29 October 2009 in accordance with the formula set out in the articles
of association. A total of 19,009,157 new ordinary shares were issued, so that
C shareholders received 0.9313893 new ordinary shares for each C share
previously held.
At the annual general meeting on 13 January 2010, shareholders considered the
five-yearly resolution for the continuation of the company. I am pleased to
report that the resolution was passed overwhelmingly, with less than 0.5% of the
proxy votes cast against continuation.
The mid-market price of the ordinary shares increased from 56.25p at 30
September 2009 to 65.75p at 31 March 2010, continuing the recovery from the low
point reached in late 2008. There has been a certain amount of secondary market
trading in the shares, and your directors utilised the authority granted by
shareholders to buy back 250,000 shares in the market during the period at an
average price of 66.9p. Based on our target annual dividend of 6.0p, the shares
at 65.75p are yielding 9.1% free of tax. Your directors and managers will
continue to draw the merits of purchasing shares in the market to the attention
of potential investors.
VCT qualifying status
The company continues to comply with the conditions laid down by HM Revenue &
Customs for maintaining approved status as a VCT. The position is carefully
monitored by the board with assistance from our managers and from our
independent VCT taxation advisers at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Risk management
The board carries out a regular review of the risk environment in which the
company operates. There has been no significant change to the key risks
discussed on page 12 of the annual report for the year ended 30 September 2009,
including those resulting from the size and relative illiquidity of the unquoted
and AIM-quoted investments held by the company.
Outlook
Our company has a strong balance sheet, with a realistically valued venture
capital portfolio, and as a result of successful investment realisations we have
a substantial reserve of liquid assets available for future investment. We will
continue to proceed cautiously, in the knowledge that any recovery in the UK
economy is likely to be gradual and fragile. The incoming Government will have
to address many serious financial issues, and the inevitable cuts in public
expenditure will have an impact on many small businesses, including some of
those in our portfolio. However we have been encouraged by the way in which
most of our companies have reacted to the new environment and our managers will
continue to work closely with them and selectively add to their number.
On behalf of the Board

The figures for the year ended 30 September 2009 have been extracted from the

Transparency Rules, being related party transactions that have taken place in
