Interim Results

Baronsmead VCT 3 PLC 11 August 2006 Baronsmead VCT 3 plc To: Company Announcements From: Baronsmead VCT 3 plc Date: 11 August 2006 Interim Results for the period to 30 June 2006 Highlights â€¢ NAV per share increased by 10.2 per cent to 125.45p before payment of a 2.5p interim dividend. â€¢ NAV per C share increased by 0.3 per cent to 95.43p before payment of a 1p interim dividend. â€¢ After dividend payments, the NAV per ordinary share was 122.95p and the C share was 94.43p at 30 June 2006. â€¢ The total return since launch in 2001 on the ordinary shares is 59.2 per cent (AITC method), which is equivalent to an annualised investment return of 9.0 per cent. The Chairman, Mark Cannon Brookes, said 'The unquoted investments have continued to progress well with good uplifts in value. The resulting increase in NAV per share for the ordinary shares at 30 June 2006 has been achieved against a backdrop of increasingly uncertain and volatile markets. The Finance Act 2006 confirmed the earlier proposed VCT legislative revisions. As a result the Dividend Reinvestment Scheme will be suspended and replaced by a Scheme whereby existing ordinary shares will be issued in lieu of dividends to ordinary shareholders only. RESULTS | In the six months to 30 June 2006, the Net Asset Value (NAV) per ordinary share increased by 10.23 per cent from 113.81p (after the final dividend) to 125.45p before payment of the interim dividend. A 2.5p interim dividend for ordinary shares has been declared and will be paid on 20 October 2006, once ordinary shareholders have confirmed whether they wish to receive cash or existing shares in lieu. The final tranche of the 24 million C share fund raising was issued on 3 January 2006 amounting to Â£5.8 million net proceeds. The total return for the C shares increased by 0.3 per cent based on the net revenue received from the gilt and cash portfolio. After the interim dividend of 1p per share, the resulting NAV per C share was 94.43p at 30 June 2006. The total return in the first six months for the ordinary share portfolio was achieved after a performance fee of Â£288,000 (including VAT) has been accrued, assuming that the performance is sustained in the remaining six months. This is equivalent to 0.9p per ordinary share. No performance fee has yet been triggered by the C share pool of assets. The six VCT tests relating to the running of Baronsmead VCT 3 were met during the period. The most visible of these tests is that more than 70 per cent of the portfolio has been invested in qualifying investments beyond the first three accounting periods. At the period end, 89 per cent of the capital raised (net of launch costs) prior to 1 January 2004 was invested in VCT qualifying investments. Some Â£12 million of the C share capital requires to be invested in qualifying investments by 31 December 2007 and this rate has been achieved to date with Â£3.5 million invested. During the period 313,708 new ordinary shares were issued at a price of 117.8p per share to existing shareholders who had subscribed to the Dividend Reinvestment Scheme (DRIS). The Company bought back 1,140,000 ordinary shares to be held in Treasury at an average price of 106p, representing a discount of approximately 10 per cent to NAV per share. LONG TERM PERFORMANCE | The total return since inception is 59 per cent for the ordinary shares and 0.5 per cent for the C shares to date. These returns are stated net of running costs but prior to launch costs being taken into account. The ordinary share total return is over 20 per cent ahead of the peer group average of five generalist VCTs and in the five years to 30 June 2006 also ranks Baronsmead VCT 3 in the top half of the 17 conventional Private Equity Investment Trusts identified by AITC (source: www.Trustnet.com). VCT reliefs were designed to redress both the restrictive nature of the VCT legislation under which qualifying investments can be selected and the perceived higher risk for investing in smaller unquoted and AiM-traded companies. If the initial 20 per cent subscription relief is taken into account, Baronsmead VCT 3 is ranked in the top quartile and ahead of many well-known names in private equity. The total return since launch of 59 per cent is the absolute measure of the Manager's investment performance. From an investor's perspective, if a shareholder had invested Â£100 (after Â£5 launch costs) in 2001, the NAV per share assuming dividends reinvested is Â£152 to which the subscription tax relief can also be added. THE PORTFOLIO | In the six months under review, 5 new investments were made and after the sale of the investments in Language Line and Accuma Group, the portfolio increased to 63 companies. Further rounds of investment were made in Jelf Group and Driver Group. The C share portfolio now has 8 investments valued at Â£3.5 million. Five unquoted investments were revalued for the first time. Good trading progress was also sustained at Martin Audio, Occam, RLA Group and Americana leading to an 8.4p NAV per ordinary share uplift well spread across this part of the portfolio. There was considerable volatility in the prices of AiM-traded companies as the market rose strongly until the end of May and then went sharply into reverse taking many of the gains away leaving the value of the portfolio Â£0.8 million ahead from 31 December 2005. Top slicing profits of Â£476,000 were taken from the part sale of four AiM shareholdings plus the Â£117,000 profit on full sale of Accuma. The main ups and downs reflect several themes inherent in smaller companies: â€¢ The impact of technology advances can be seen in NeuTec Pharma and also Zoo Digital. After the period end, the former was sold to Novartis where the residual shares realised 7 times their cost and the overall outcome represented 3.4 times cost of the original investment of Â£316,000 in early 2002. The company specialises in the science of producing anti-bodies to mitigate the MRSA bug in hospitals. Conversely Zoo failed to convert its interactive DVD software into sufficient commercial applications and at the period end stood at only 10 per cent of cost. â€¢ Buoyant niche markets often provide the opportunity for growth as seen at Colliers CRE, Debtmatters and IPT whereas the reverse also applies as experienced by Real Good Food and WIN. The relative health of portfolio companies is measured quarterly in terms of profitability as well as other non-financial bench-marks. At the year end, 84 per cent of the portfolio companies were reporting better or steady progress. INTRODUCTION OF THE DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (DRIP) | The Budget statement in March 2006 signalled that the Government wished to redirect the future capital raised by VCTs after 6 April 2006 into smaller companies with gross assets of up to Â£7 million, half that of the level that applied to capital raised before this date. An analysis of the last 40 investments made by Baronsmead VCT 3 highlights that most of these could have qualified within the revised level although a significant minority of investees would have not qualified subsequently for further rounds of finance. The Board has decided not to issue new shares in the current financial year until the impact of the revisions is better understood. The immediate consequence is that the current Dividend Reinvestment Scheme is suspended. Nonetheless, the Board believe that the proposal to introduce a Dividend Reinvestment Plan to purchase existing ordinary shares does provide investment attractions for ordinary shareholders who wish to build their capital as opposed to receiving cash dividends. Shareholders who increase their holding via the DRIP will be buying into a well-diversified portfolio, which has shown consistent overall growth. Realised capital profits and net revenue have historically supported the current dividend policy and this is also the future intention. Dividends generated by the DRIP shares will be tax-free for qualifying ordinary shareholders and the shares are not subject to capital gains tax. The DRIP scheme is not available to C shareholders as there is unlikely to be any market in the shares until conversion into ordinary shares in early 2008. The resolution at the EGM to enable the Board to re-issue shares out of Treasury was passed on the 8 August 2006, with 92 per cent of shareholders voting in favour, some 20 per cent of the shareholder base. This authority will help satisfy demand for shares that cannot be met by the normal market mechanisms. In light of the VCT legislation revisions, the Board will be surveying shareholders later in 2006 not only to check their understanding of shareholder's main priorities for the future but also so that the Board can consider how to develop the secondary market in the shares of Baronsmead VCT 3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECONDARY MARKET | The track record of Baronsmead VCT 3 over the last five years demonstrates a strong positive total return and favourable comparison with both the FTSE Indices and other Private Equity Investment Trusts. For the first time, this report illustrates performance against the APCIMS (Association of Private Client Investment Managers and Stockbrokers) indicex, a recognised Private Investor Index. As dividends are tax-free incorporating the income tax relief Baronsmead VCT 3 has exceeded the APCIMS ' growth' portfolio total returns over 1, 3 and 5 years. If the VCT tax relief is excluded the Company's total return exceeds APCIMS over 1 and 5 years. The share price has typically been 10 per cent less than the NAV per ordinary share. The Board believes that the yield of the ordinary shares may well be a more appropriate metric for judging the share price. The historic yield of the dividends paid in 2005 is 5 per cent for basic rate taxpayers or 7.4 per cent for those paying tax at the higher rate, which are attractive levels for shareholders with a preference for income. OUTLOOK | Quoted markets have come back from their peak in May following the prospects of interest rates rising and the subsequent adverse impact on debt leverage. This suggests a rockier economic climate in the near term and a feeling that the market will be flat. The portfolio of your Company is in a healthy state and with a good degree of diversity. We are still in a phase of increasing the portfolio, hopefully to some 70 qualifying companies by the year-end, and believe that we can sustain a consistent investment performance.'

During the period 313,708 ordinary shares were issued and 1,140,000 ordinary shares were bought in by the company to be held in Treasury at a cost of Â£1,222,000. There were 23,999,772 C shares in issue at 30 June 2006 (31 December 2005: 17,894,064; 30 June 2005: nil). During the period 6,105,708 C shares were issued. 3. Earnings for the six months to 30 June 2006 should not be taken as a guide to the results for the full year. The returns per ordinary share are based on a weighted average of 33,097,562 (31 December 2005: 33,702,319; 30 June 2005: 33,594,934) ordinary shares in issue during the period.
