Highlights

 

The Company

 

The Company continues to meet all VCT qualifying conditions in respect of its portfolio of VCT unquoted qualifying investments and unquoted and quoted non-qualifying investments.

 

Ordinary Share Class

 

·      The Net Asset Value ("NAV") at 30 June 2018 was 65.83p per share.

·      During the three month period to 30 June 2018 the Ordinary Share Class made a profit of 0.09p per share.

·      On 1 April 2018 the Ordinary Share Class transferred its investments in eight companies, across five sectors, to the E Share Class at the valuations in the audited financial statements to 31 March 2018. The transfer is in line with the Company's strategy to realise Ordinary Share Class investments and return funds as soon as practicable after the end of the 5 year holding period which was on 15 May 2018. The VCT retains an investment in Green Energy for Education Limited, which owns and operates a portfolio of Solar PV assets, in its Ordinary Share Class and will look to realise this later in 2018.

·      On 26 July 2018 a dividend was paid to the Ordinary Class Shareholders of 60.74p per share bringing total dividends paid to Ordinary Class Shareholders to 93.8p per share. This compares to a minimum target return of 90.4p per share.

·      It is the intention to pay a final dividend later this year and cancel the Ordinary Shares by the end of the Company's financial year ending 31 March 2019.

C Share Class

·      The NAV at 30 June 2018 was 116.30p per share.

·      During the three month period to 30 June 2018 the C Share Class made a profit of 3.46p per share. This includes a dividend from one of its investments in the hydro electric power sector for £393,000, equivalent to 2.9p per share.

·      100% of the C Share Class investments are in the hydro-electric power sector, in line with the investment strategy.
