CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
Introduction 
I am pleased to present my report for the six months ended 31 July 2011. The 
Company has continued to have a high level of investment activity and has made 
good progress towards the VCT qualification targets for the main share pools. 
 
'C' Share pool 
Net asset value 
At 31 July 2011, the NAV per 'C' Share stood at 88.6p and per 'A' Share at 
0.1p, producing a combined total of 88.7p. This is a small increase of 0.8p 
(0.8%) since the previous year end of 31 January 2011 (after adjusting for 
dividends of 5.0p per 'C' Share paid during the period).   Total return (NAV 
plus cumulative dividends paid) was 98.7p per 'C' Share and 'A' Share at 31 July 
2011. 
 
Results and dividend 
The profit on ordinary activities for the 'C' Shares after taxation for the 
period was  GBP55,000, relating wholly to a revenue surplus. 
 
The  Company will pay an  interim dividend of 2.5p per  'C' Share on 25 November 
2011, to 'C' Shareholders on the register at 4 November 2011. 
 
Portfolio activity 
The 'C' Share pool made  GBP1.3 million of new qualifying and part-qualifying 
investments during the period.  Brief details of the main new qualifying 
investments are as follows: 
 
Domestic Solar (ISIS) Limited 
A  partially qualifying investment of  GBP500,000 was made to provide funds for the 
installation and operation of domestic solar rooftop arrays. 
 
Redmed Limited 
A   GBP350,000 qualifying investment  was made in  a company which  owns the Annexe 
nightclub in Lincoln city centre. 
 
Mosaic Spa and Health Club Limited 
A  partially qualifying  investment of   GBP125,000 was  made in this company which 
trades  under the name "Fitness Express" and has contracts to provide management 
to gyms and spas for hotels, universities and corporate clients. 
 
The share pool made a further non-qualifying property loan to Hoole Hall Country 
Club  early in  the period  which was  repaid (along  with the existing property 
loan) later in the period.  In total,  GBP1.9 million of non-qualifying investments 
were  realised (all at amounts equal to original cost) in order to provide funds 
for the new qualifying investments described above. 
 
Portfolio valuation 
The Board has reviewed the portfolio of investments at the period end and is 
satisfied that there have not been any significant departures from plan which 
impact on the value of the investments. Accordingly, all investments continue to 
be held at valuations equal to original cost. 
 
'D' Share pool 
Net asset value, 
At 31 July 2011, the NAV per 'D' Share stood at 91.5p and per 'E' Share at 
0.1p, producing a combined total of 91.6p. This is a small increase of 0.5p 
(0.5%) since the previous year end of 31 January 2011 (after adjusting for 
dividends of 2.5p per 'D' Share paid during the period).   Total return (NAV 
plus cumulative dividends paid) was 96.6p per 'D' Share and 'E' Share at 31 July 
2011. 
 
 'D' Share pool (continued) 
Results and dividend 
The profit on ordinary activities for the 'D' Shares, after taxation, for the 
period was  GBP59,000, comprising a revenue gain of  GBP192,000 and a capital loss of 
 GBP133,000. 
 
In  accordance with the policy set out  in the 'D' Share prospectus, the Company 
will  pay an interim dividend of 2.5p per  'D' Share on 25 November 2011, to 'D' 
Shareholders on the register at 4 November 2011. 
 
Portfolio activity 
The Company made seven qualifying investments (of which four had non-qualifying 
elements) at a total cost of  GBP2.6 million during the period. Brief details of 
the main new investments are as follows: 
 
Future Biogas (Reepham Road) Limited: 
A  partially qualifying  investment of   GBP748,000 was  made to  fund an anaerobic 
digestion plant, which will be used to generate electricity. 
 
Gingerbread Pre-School Limited: 
A  partially qualifying  investment of   GBP551,000 was  made in  the company which 
operates children's day nurseries. 
 
Domestic Solar (ISIS) Limited: 
A  partially qualifying investment of  GBP400,000 was made to provide funds for the 
installation and operation of domestic solar rooftop arrays. 
 
Alpha Schools Holdings Limited: 
A  qualifying  investment  of   GBP367,000  was  made  into a company that owns and 
operates private preparatory schools. 
 
Green Electricity Generation Limited and Progressive Energies Limited: 
Two qualifying investments of  GBP250,000 and  GBP170,000 were made in companies which 
generate  electricity  through  the  installation  of  solar systems on domestic 
rooftops. 
 
Mosaic Spa and Health Club Limited: 
A  partially qualifying investment of  GBP125,000,  alongside the 'C' Share pool as 
described above. 
 
The  pool also made several new  non-qualifying property loans during the period 
and  realised a number  of existing non-qualifying  investments to provide funds 
for the new qualifying investments described above. 
 
Portfolio valuation 
The Board has reviewed the investments portfolio at the period end and made one 
adjustment to the previous carrying values. Camandale Limited owns and operates 
two pubs in Kilmarnock: The Riverbank and The Monkey Bar. The Monkey Bar is 
trading significantly below our expectations and, as a result, a provision of 
 GBP133,000 has been made against the investment. The Board is satisfied that it is 
appropriate to continue to hold all other investments at values equal to 
original cost. 
 
Ordinary Share pool 
As has been stated previously, although the Ordinary Shares are still in 
existence, the task of returning funds to Ordinary Shareholders is complete and 
no further dividends are expected to be paid on the Ordinary Shares. Steps will 
be taken to wind up this share class in due course. 
 
Share buybacks 
In order to provide liquidity in the market for Shareholders who need to sell 
all or part of their holdings, the Company operates a share buyback policy in 
respect of its 'A' Shares, 'C' Shares, 'D' Shares and 'E' Shares. The current 
policy is to undertake share buybacks at a price equivalent to approximately a 
10% discount to the latest published NAV. The Board reviews this discount level 
from time to time. 
 
The  Company  does  not  intend  to  buy  in  any  further  Ordinary  Shares for 
cancellation. 
 
No share buybacks in any share class were undertaken during the period. 
 
Risks and uncertainties 
Under the Disclosure and Transparency Directive, the Board is required, in the 
Company's half-yearly results, to report on principal risks and uncertainties 
facing the Company over the remainder of the financial year. 
 
The  Board concluded that the key risks facing the Company over the remainder of 
the financial period are as follows: 
 
(i) Compliance risk of failure to maintain approval as a VCT; and 
 
(ii) investment risk associated with investing in small and immature businesses 
 
The  Company's compliance with  the VCT regulations  is continually monitored by 
the  Manager, who reports  regularly to the  Board on the  current position. The 
Company has also appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers to provide regular reviews and 
advice in this area. 
 
In  order to make VCT-qualifying investments, the Company has to invest in small 
businesses  which are often immature.  It also  has a limited period in which it 
must invest the majority of its funds. The Manager follows a rigorous process in 
vetting  and careful structuring  of new investments,  including taking a charge 
over  the assets of the  business wherever possible and,  after an investment is 
made, closely monitoring the business. 
 
The  Board is satisfied that these approaches provide satisfactory management of 
the key risks. 
 
Going concern 
The Directors have reviewed the Company's financial resources at the period end 
and conclude that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks. 
 
The  Board confirms that it is satisfied that the Company has adequate resources 
to  continue in business for the foreseeable  future. For this reason, the Board 
believes  that  the  Company  continues  to  be  a  going concern and that it is 
appropriate  to  apply  the  going  concern  basis  in  preparing  the financial 
statements. 
 
Outlook 
Over the remainder of the year, we expect to see further progress in building 
the qualifying investment portfolios for both active share pools. Trading 
conditions remain very testing, but the continuing failure of the banks to 
support small businesses provides the Company with a good pipeline of investment 
opportunities, of which the Company will seek to take advantage.

description  of  the  principal  risks  and  uncertainties for the remaining six 
months of the year; and 
 
(b)   DTR 4.2.8R of the  Disclosure and Transparency  Rules, being related party 
transactions  that  have  taken  place  in  the  first six months of the current

performance  of the entity  during that period,  and any changes  in the related
