Investment Activity

 

The board is pleased to report that in the last quarter the Company made £1.4 million of follow on VCT qualifying investments into two companies involved in cinema digitisation, which means they are fully funded to meet their contractual commitments in the UK. VCT qualifying investments now account for some 64.1% of investments at original cost so that the Company is on course to meet the test of being 70% so invested by 31 March 2011.

 

The Company holds 50% of the issued share capital of Lorngreen Limited, which in turn holds an investment in GAM Diversity 2.5XL. The Company also has an exposure to GAM Diversity 2.5XL held through a note executed with Julius Baer. This means that approximately 55% of the Company's NAV is exposed to the performance of GAM Diversity. During the quarter to 31 December 2010, the value of the investment increased by 3.4% from the level recorded in the half yearly report to 30 September 2010.

 

Material Events and Transactions

 

During the period no shares were issued and no shares were purchased by the Company for cancellation.
