INGENIOUS ENTERTAINMENT VCT 1 PLC ("the Company")
STATEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS
For the year ended 31 December 2015
Chairman's Statement
I am delighted to present the Company's eighth Annual Report and
Accounts covering the year to 31 December 2015 (the Reporting
Period).
Overview of Activities
In December 2014, the Company cancelled all of its C Shares and
completed the full distribution of capital in relation to those
shares in January 2015.
The Company has now completed its investment strategy and is
fully invested under the VCT regulations for its D, E, F and G
Share classes. The Company needs to make one final investment for
its H Share class in 2016. The Manager will also focus upon
maximising the returns from the investments.
The Company continued to actively source and review investment
opportunities during this Reporting Period for the H Share class.
In total, the Company made five investments during the Reporting
Period. Details of all investments can be found in the Manager's
Review.
During the Reporting Period two live events were undertaken by
two of the Company's Investee Companies. Liverpool Sound City took
place from 22 to 24 May 2015 with a new 'Festival style' format
that was held in the Docklands area of Liverpool.
Field Day 2015 was staged on 7 and 8 June 2015 and once again
delivered both increased attendances and increased profits from the
year before. In June 2015, the Company accepted an offer to acquire
its 15% stake in Waxarch Limited (the Investee Company that stages
Field Day). The purchase price agreed was at a six times multiple
of the event's 2015 profits. The deal completed in September 2015.
The capital growth over the life of the investment equates to an
unaudited six pence per share uplift for the D Share class (a three
pence per share uplift since the previous valuation as at 31
December 2014) and an unaudited three pence per share uplift for
each of the E and F Share classes (in each case an unaudited one
pence per share uplift since the previous valuation as at 31
December 2014).
The D Share class reached its five year anniversary on 30 July
2015. It is the Directors' intention to distribute any residual
funds remaining in this share class shortly.
Fund Raising
The Company raised no further funds during the Reporting
Period.
Results
The C Shares (cancelled in year ended 31 December 2014), D
Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares are accounted for
as separate pools of funds necessitating separate non-statutory
reporting.
The Company continues with its core strategy of blending high
levels of downside protection with its attempt to drive positive
returns from the investment portfolio. The Directors and the
Manager have also maintained their prudent approach in the
valuation of investments with the view that it takes at least two
to three years to build brand awareness in the live entertainment
sector. They remain cautiously optimistic about the future
performance and the long term outlook of the Company.
The C Shares were cancelled during the year ended 31 December
2014 and therefore had no profit or loss to report (31 December
2014: loss of GBP47,000). D Shares made a loss of GBP153,000 (31
December 2014: loss of GBP13,000). The E Shares made a loss of
GBP100,000 (31 December 2014: profit of GBP7,000). The F Shares
made a loss of GBP60,000 (31 December 2014: loss of GBP6,000). The
G Shares made a loss of GBP264,000 (31 December 2014: loss of
GBP69,000). The H Shares made a loss of GBP41,000 (31 December
2014: loss of GBP16,000).
The net asset value per D Share at 31 December 2015 was 2.0
pence (31 December 2014: 64.3 pence) although this is after the
deduction of the dividend of 60.0 pence per Share in the Reporting
Period and the deduction of a total of 20.0 pence per Share of
dividends in previous years. The net asset value as at 31 December
2015 including distributions was therefore 82.0 pence per D Share
(31 December 2014: 84.3 pence).
The net asset value per E Share at 31 December 2015 was 63.7
pence (31 December 2014: 72.2 pence) although this is after the
deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting
Period and the deduction of a total of 15.0 pence per Share of
dividends in previous years. The net asset value as at 31 December
2015 including distributions was therefore 83.7 pence per E Share
(31 December 2014: 87.2 pence).
The net asset value per F Share at 31 December 2015 was 65.9
pence (31 December 2014: 74.7 pence) although this is after the
deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting
Period and the deduction of a total of 15.0 pence per Share of
dividends in previous years. The net asset value as at 31 December
2015 including distributions was therefore 85.9 pence per F Share
(31 December 2014: 89.7 pence).
The net asset value per G Share at 31 December 2015 was 67.2
pence (31 December 2014: 79.7 pence) although this is after the
deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting
Period and the deduction of a total of 10.0 pence per Share
dividends in the previous years. The net asset value as at 31
December 2015 including distributions was therefore 82.2 pence per
G Share (31 December 2014: 89.7 pence).
The net asset value per H Share at 31 December 2015 was 81.4
pence (31 December 2014: 87.9 pence) although this is after the
deduction of the dividend of 5.0 pence per Share in the Reporting
Period and the deduction of a 5.0 pence per Share dividend in the
previous year The net asset value as at 31 December 2015 including
distributions was therefore 91.4 pence per H Share (31 December
2014: 92.9 pence).
Legislative and Regulatory Developments
The recent changes to the VCT rules are not expected to have a
significant impact on the operation of the Company.
Outlook
Live entertainment continues to appeal to customers as an
experience that is completely unique to the individual. When this
appeal is combined with enjoying the live experience with other
likeminded participants, then it is easy to understand why those
events that can create their own 'niche' will continue to thrive
whatever the economy may throw at them.
The 'season' has once again begun with Glastonbury selling out
in record time. All of the events that the Company has on sale are
currently ahead of forecast and the Board does not believe that any
of these events will be adversely affected by any of the economic
uncertainty that currently exists.
Investment Objective
The Company's main objective is to invest in companies
established to create and bring to market live events and premium
entertainment content which will provide Shareholders with an
attractive return. This strategy will aim to maximise the
opportunities for making tax-free dividends to Shareholders from
both the actual income received and capital profits on the sale of
investments in Investee Companies or their assets.

Festivals
Liverpool Sound City Limited
In March 2012, the Entertainment VCTs made an investment into
Liverpool Sound City Limited. This company has, for a number of
years, been producing and promoting the Sound City concept which
combines the best elements of a music festival, conference and expo
across an entire city centre.
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
April 14, 2016 10:30 ET (14:30 GMT)
Liverpool Sound City is a 3 day international music, media and
technology conference and live arts and music festival. The company
has also organised international events in both New York and Abu
Dhabi and plans to further expand the brand worldwide.
Liverpool Sound City has now held three main UK events since the
Company made its investment. The May 2015 event was very well
received by the press and public with a great impressive bill with
headline performances from Belle and Sebastian, The Vaccines and
The Flaming Lips. As a result, the company made a small profit for
the year ended 30 June 2015, although the 30 June 2015 audited
accounts show an accumulated loss position of GBP109k, spread
across 2012 through to 2015.
All in all, however, the Company's Board believe that the
Investee Company has now stabilised in terms of its control
environment, has a better informed and effective commercial
decision-making team, and that beneficial changes have been
implemented to the business model which should enable the Sound
City product to generate greater profits.
The business model changes focused on moving the main festival
out of multiple venues, and into a dedicated festival site in the
centre of Liverpool. This ensured no revenue leakage in respect of
entry fees and bar income, and also better defined the brand as an
urban music festival experience.
Love Supreme Jazz Festival
Initial Funding was in December 2011 with further funding in
December 2013.
In December 2011, the Entertainment VCTs teamed up with Jazz FM
and Neapolitan Music to invest in a company to co-promote the Love
Supreme Jazz Festival.
The first event, which took place in July 2013, was loss making,
but this outcome was very much anticipated as new event brands take
time to generate full customer awareness. The July 2014 event very
much reinforced this view by delivering a profit of GBP78,000.
The 2015 event took place on the 3-5 July, sold 9,000 tickets
per day and it was a very successful show with headline
performances from Van Morrison and Chaka Khan and supported by
great heritage acts such as Lisa Stansfield, Neneh Cherry, Candi
Staton as well as a host of international jazz artists such as Hugh
Masekela, Ginger Baker, Larry Graham, Terrance Blanchard and Diane
Reeves.
Tickets for the 2016 show are ahead of forecast.
Just For London Comedy Festival
In October 2014, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested in a
company to co-promotethe Just For London Comedy Festival.
A licence has been granted by Camden Council for hosting the
event in Russell Square in London in conjunction with Logan Hall
which is a 933 capacity venue part of UCL and the Camden Centre in
Kings Cross.
The first event is to be held on 13-24 July 2016 and planning is
well under way with regards to booking talent, marketing and the
general branding of the show.
London Flower Show
In December 2015 an investment of GBP500,000 was made into The
London Flower Show Limited to promote the annual event, The London
Flower Show.
The first event is due to be held in September 2016 in Osterley
Park and will run for four days. The event will aim to exploit the
established market for flower shows and will aim to attract keen
and novice gardeners as well as those looking for a picturesque day
of food, entertainment, flowers, plants and all things you would
find in a garden. The 2016 event will host indoor and outdoor
activities including a garden competition, a village fete style
food offering, live music, a vintage funfair as well as a range of
flower and garden themed traders.
The revenue model for LFS is built on four primary pillars:
ticketing revenue, pitch fees from exhibitors, pitch fees from food
traders and bar revenue. As the event grows LFS will look to
develop other revenue streams such as corporate hospitality and
sponsorship. LFS has secured the services of RHS Chelsea Flower
Show Gold Medal Winning Garden Designer Nigel Gibson to curate the
garden competition, and to ensure a high level of horticultural
activity which will attract dedicated gardening enthusiasts.
As One In The Park Festival
In February 2012 an investment of GBP1,320,000 was made into
Saturn Star Limited to create a new gay and alternative lifestyle
festival called As One In The Park, which was held in Victoria Park
in May 2013.
Although well received by critics, the audience of 6,000 was
significantly below the numbers anticipated and the event incurred
a significant loss which has been taken into account in the
valuation of the investment.
The Zoo Project Festival
In March 2014, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested in a
company to co-promote The Zoo Project Festival.
The festival promoters have, over the course of 2012 and 2013,
established a strong festival brand with a core following and
although it was very well received by the press and public, the
attendance levels were disappointing and the event incurred a loss
in the region of GBP37k.
The Manager is currently reviewing future options for the
brand.
SWG Power Limited
In November 2015 an investment of GBP500,000 was made into SWG
Power Limited which has been established to provide power to
festivals, conferences and exhibitions.
The company has been established to act as a service provider
supplying power to the festival, exhibition, conference and live
event market. The company will aim to exploit the growing market
for festivals and live events and will look to sign multi-year
deals with events to provide a reliable source of income.
The company will use a portion of the investment to purchase new
assets to enable the company to tender for power contracts.
During the 'build' of events, the purchased assets will be
brought to the respective event sites to provide power for the
event (e.g. for stage lighting, sound systems and back office) and
to power individual traders and exhibitors working at the event,
for which the company will receive supplementary income to the
tendered amount with the event promoter.
Revenues will be generated in the form of equipment hire,
service fees for staff operating the equipment and maintaining the
equipment on site, and a mark-up on fuel costs charged to traders
on the event site.
Seasonal Events
Winterville Events Limited
In September 2014, an investment of GBP1,000,000 was made by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into Winterville Events Limited to
promote an annual Christmas based event - Winterville.
The first event took place in Victoria Park in East London and
ran for the duration of December 2014. Winterville hosted indoor
and outdoor activities including an ice rink, a live pantomime
production, a vintage fun fair, themed food stalls, bars selling
craft ales, beer and cider, a roller disco and a spiegeltent
staging both comedy and live music for all age groups.
For the 2015 event, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs and
partners Marcus Weedon and Darren Guerin joined forces with AEG
Live to utilise AEG's experience in this market (AEG have promoted
four Winter Wonderlands in Hyde Park and a winter season in
Dublin).
Unfortunately, due to the wettest December on record and the
impact of an average event in 2014 culminating in the loss of
customers to the 2015 event, the show has made substantial losses
in the region of GBP565k of which the VCTs are responsible for
33.33%.
Content Exploitation
FM3 2013 Limited
In March 2014, an investment of GBP1,400,000 was made by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into FM3 2013 Limited to film festival
and live event content.
The Ingenious Entertainment VCTs joined forces with Blink TV, a
production and distribution company specialising in filming live
entertainment content. The company will look to deliver five core
revenue streams through the exploitation of music festival content,
namely commissioned productions, distribution, advertising, brand
activation and online video channel creation.
Live Venues
Event Spaces
In December 2014, an investment of GBP1,250,000 was made by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into Event Spaces Limited to promote a
wide range of events to be hosted from a semi-permanent events
structure situated in London.
A large semi-permanent structure was purchased that is currently
situated on the Pontoon Dock site. The Pontoon Dock project has
however been put on hold due to unresolvable issues with the land
owner over the length of time the site could be leased for.
As a result the structure has been sold and the partners are
looking for a new location to host events.
Genius Star Limited
In December 2015 an investment of GBP750,000 was made into
Genius Star Limited to operate a multi-purpose bar/kitchen and live
venue.
The Entertainment VCTs have teamed up with Electric Star Ltd
which is the company run by Rob Star who runs 4 successful
multi-purpose bar/kitchen style venues in East London and Kings
Cross.
The concept is to create a multi-faceted and vibrant space which
will capitalise on the premises' location and experience of the
partners. The venue will serve as a functioning bar and kitchen,
and a multi-purpose event space for promoted, co-promoted and
externally hired activities. These activities will include musical
performances, theatre, spoken word, yoga, corporate hire and
product launches.
Counterculture Bars Limited
In September 2015 an investment of GBP500,000 was made into
Counterculture Bars Limited to operate the multi-purpose
bar/kitchen and live venue, 'Haunt' in Stoke Newington with
Alexander Brooks.
Alex has spent two years looking in London for the right venue
to launch his concept and has secured for the company a 15 year
lease at this prime location on Stoke Newington Road.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2015
1. Accounting Policies
a) Company Information
Ingenious Entertainment VCT 1 plc is a venture capitalist trust
company domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated in England
on 10 October 2007. The address of the registered office is 15
Golden Square, London, W1F 9JG.
b) Statement of Compliance
Basis of Accounting
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
April 14, 2016 10:30 ET (14:30 GMT)
The financial statements for the Reporting Period have been
prepared in compliance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and
Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102'), with the Companies Act 2006 and
with the Statement of Recommended Practice entitled "Financial
Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital
Trusts" (the SORP 2014) (with the exception of paragraph 82 of the
SORP 2014 regarding detailed disclosure of financial and
operational performance of the Company's unquoted investments due
to their confidential nature) which was issued in November
2014.
The comparative figures are for the year 1 January 2014 to 31
December 2014.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis under the historical cost convention, except for the
measurement at fair value for Qualifying and Non-qualifying
Investments. The principal accounting policies have remained
materially unchanged from those set out in the Company's 2014
Annual Report and Accounts. However, there have been slight
revisions as a result of the adoption of FRS 102 and the SORP
2014.
This is the first year in which the financial statements have
been prepared under FRS 102. As a result, the statement of cash
flows has been updated to comply with the format of FRS 102.
FRS 102 sections 11 and 12 have been adopted with regards to the
Company's financial instruments.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (GBP).
Key sources of economic uncertainty:
Many of the Company's financial instruments are measured at fair
value in the balance sheet and it is usually possible to determine
their fair values within a reasonable range of estimates.
For the majority of the Company's financial instruments, such as
unlisted securities, fair value is derived from using valuation
techniques, as recommended by International Private Equity and
Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVC). Fair value estimates
are made at a specific point in time, based on market conditions
and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgements (e.g. interest rates, volatility, estimated
cash flows) and therefore cannot be determined with precision.
c) Valuation of Investments
The Company's business is investing in financial assets with a
view to profiting from their total return in the form of income and
capital growth. In accordance with FRS 102 investments by the
Company are held at fair value through profit and loss.
International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation
Guidelines
Unquoted investments, including equity and loan investments, are
stated at fair value through profit and loss and are valued in
accordance with the IPEVC Guidelines and FRS 102. Investments are
initially recognised at cost. The value of investments is
subsequently re-measured to current fair value, as estimated by the
Directors. Gains or losses arising from the revaluation of
investments are taken directly to the Statement of Comprehensive
Income. Fair value is determined as follows:
-- Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length
transaction.
-- In estimating the fair value of an investment, the Manager will apply
a methodology that is appropriate for the nature, facts and
circumstances of the investment and its materiality in the
context of
the total investment portfolio and will use reasonable
assumptions and
estimations.
-- An appropriate methodology incorporates available information about
all factors that are likely to materially affect the fair value
of the
investment. The valuation methodologies are applied consistently
from
period to period, except where a change would result in a
better
estimate of fair value. Any changes in valuation methodologies
will be
clearly disclosed in the financial statements.
The most widely used methodologies are listed below. In
assessing which methodology is appropriate, the Directors are
predisposed towards those methodologies that draw upon market-based
measures of risk and return.
-- Price of recent investment
-- Discounted cash flows/earnings multiple
-- Net assets
-- Available market prices
Of these the methodology most applicable to the Company's
investments is:
Price of recent investment
Where the investment being valued was made recently, its cost
will generally provide a good indication of value. It is generally
considered that this would only apply for a limited period; in
practice a period up to the start of the first live event or
entertainment content which forms the investment is often applied
as the long stop date for such a valuation.
Non-qualifying Investments - OEICs
The Company's Non-qualifying Investments in interest bearing
money market OEICs are valued at fair value which is bid price.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of
Qualifying and Non-qualifying Investments are recognised as part of
the capital return within the Statement of Comprehensive Income and
allocated to the realised or unrealised capital reserve as
appropriate. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition or
disposal of investments are charged to capital within the Statement
of Comprehensive Income.
d) Investment Income
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income under the effective interest method.
Under the effective interest method:
The interest income in a period equals the carrying amount of
the loan at the beginning of a period multiplied by the effective
interest rate for that period.
The effective interest rate is the rate required to discount the
expected future income streams over the life of the loan to its
initial carrying amount. The effective interest rate is determined
on the basis of the carrying amount of the loan at initial
recognition.
In accordance with FRS 102, when calculating the effective
interest rate, the Company estimates cash flows considering all
contractual terms of the loans (e.g. prepayments) and known credit
losses that have been incurred, but it does not consider possible
future credit losses not yet incurred. The main impact for the
Company in that regard is the estimation of any loan note
premiums.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company
amortises any related fees, finance charges received, transaction
costs and other premiums or discounts over the expected life of the
loan. However, the Company uses a shorter period if that is the
period to which the fees, finance charges paid or received,
transaction costs, premiums or discounts relate.
e) Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income once it is declared by the Investee Companies.
f) Expenses
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses
are charged to the revenue account within the Statement of
Comprehensive Income except that:
-- expenses which are incidental to the acquisition or disposal of an
investment are charged to capital in the Statement of
Comprehensive
Income as incurred;
-- expenses are split and presented partly as capital items where a
connection with the maintenance or enhancement of the value of
the
investments held can be demonstrated; and
-- the management fee has been allocated 50% to revenue and 50% to
capital, which represents the split of the Company's long term
returns.
General expenses were paid for by the D Share class until 5
August 2015 and from 6 August 2015 by the E Share class and have
been recharged on a quarterly basis to the other Share classes
based on the proportional net asset value per Share class as at the
last day of the previous quarter.
g) Taxation
Current tax is recognised for the amount of income tax payable
in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting
periods using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences
at the reporting date, except as otherwise indicated. Timing
differences are differences between taxable profits and total
comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that
arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments
in periods different from those in which they are recognised in
financial statements. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to
the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against
the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable
profits.
Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates and laws that
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting
date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing
difference.
h) D Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares
The Company had five Share classes up to 31 December 2015: D
Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares. Each Share class
has a separate pool of income and expenses as well as assets and
liabilities attributable to it. All Share classes rank pari passu
with each other in terms of voting and other rights.

As the Company is a VCT its capital gains are not taxable.
At 31 December 2015 the Company had surplus management expenses
of GBP1,229,000 (31 December 2014: GBP1,087,000). A deferred tax
asset has not been recognised in respect of these surplus
management expenses as the future taxable income of the Company
cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty. Due to the Company's
status as a VCT, and the intention to continue meeting the
conditions required to obtain approval in the foreseeable future,
the Company does not recognise deferred tax on any capital gains or
losses which arise on the revaluation of investments.

15. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company's financial instruments comprise equity and floating
rate debt investments in unquoted companies, cash balances and
listed money market OEICs. The Company holds financial assets in
accordance with its investment policy.
Fixed asset investments (see note 8) are valued at fair value.
For quoted securities included in current asset Non-qualifying
Investments, this is bid price. In respect of unquoted investments,
these are fair valued in accordance with the International Private
Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines. The fair value of
all other financial assets and liabilities is represented by their
carrying value on the Balance Sheet.
Fair Value Hierarchy
2015 2014
GBP'000 GBP'000
Listed money market OEICs (note 11) Level 1 1,035 4,393
Investment in investee companies (note 11) Level 3 3 3
Unquoted investments (note 8) Level 3 5,332 8,280
6,370 12,676
Level 3 investments include a GBP8,000 revaluation loss on
Liverpool Sound City Limited, a GBP53,000 revaluation loss on
Titans of Sport Ltd during the year, a GBP141,000 revaluation loss
on Saturn Star during the year, a GBP177,000 revaluation loss on
Venn during the year and a GBP173,000 loss on Winterville during
the year.
The above table provides an analysis of these investments based
on the fair value hierarchy described below which reflects the
reliability and significance of the information used to measure
their fair value:
-- Level 1 - investments with quoted prices in active markets;
-- Level 2 - investments whose fair value is based directly on observable
market prices or is indirectly drawn from observable market
prices; and
-- Level 3 - investments whose fair value is determined using a valuation
technique based on assumptions that are not supported by
observable
current market prices or are not based on observable market
data.
Level 3 unquoted investments have been valued at fair value.
Fair
value is estimated by assessing the financial performance of
the
Company's investee and adjusting upwards or writing down the
cost of
the Company's investment using IVCA valuation techniques as
described
in note 1(c) - Accounting Policies.
Risk Management
The Company's investing activities expose it to various types of
risk that are associated with the financial instruments and markets
in which it invests. The Company measures risk by assessing the
impact that each risk parameter will have on the profitability of
the Company, or in the case of liquidity risk, by assessing the
impact that any given factor will reduce the likelihood of the
Company being able to meet its financial liabilities as they fall
due. The most important types of financial risk to which the
Company is exposed are:
-- Market risk;
-- Interest rate risk;
-- Credit risk; and
-- Liquidity risk.
The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding
at the Balance Sheet date and the risk management policies employed
by the Company are discussed below:
a) Market Risk
Market risk embodies the potential for both losses and gains and
includes credit risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
The Company's strategy on the management of investment risk is
driven by the Company's investment objective. Investments in
unquoted companies, by their nature, involve a higher degree of
risk than investments in larger "blue chip" companies.
(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires
April 14, 2016 10:30 ET (14:30 GMT)
The risk of loss in value is managed through careful selection
in accordance with a formalised investment decision process, with
each investment proposal evaluated by the Investment Committee as
part of the due diligence stage.
The risk is also managed through continuous monitoring of the
performance of investments and changes in their risk profile.
b) Interest Rate Risk
Some of the Company's financial assets are interest bearing, all
of which are at floating rates. As a result, the Company is subject
to exposure to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the
prevailing levels of market interest rate.
When the Company retains cash balances, the majority of cash is
held within interest bearing money market OEICs. This is the
Non-qualifying Investments amount on the Balance Sheet of
GBP1,038,000 (31 December 2014: GBP4,393,000). The benchmark rate
which determines the interest payments received on interest bearing
cash balances and debt investments in unquoted companies is the
bank base rate which was 0.5% as at 31 December 2015 (31 December
2014: 0.5%).
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the impact on
ordinary activities for the year before taxation and total equity
to a change in interest rates of 50 basis points, with effect from
the beginning of the year. These changes are considered to be
reasonably possible based on observation of current market
conditions. The calculations are based on the Company's
Non-qualifying Investments held at each Balance Sheet date. All
other variables are held constant.

GBP'000 GBP'000
+/- 50 basis points +/- 50 basis points
Impact on loss on ordinary 5 31
activities for the year
before taxation and
total equity
c) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial
instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that
it has entered into with the Company.
Whilst the Company is exposed to credit risk due to its
GBP2,488,000 (31 December 2014: GBP5,321,000) unsecured loan note
instruments, this risk is mitigated by the Company requiring that
minimum royalty arrangements are in place prior to the investment
as set out in the Company's investment policy. In addition, and in
accordance with the Company's monitoring procedure, the Manager
closely monitors progress (including financial expenditure) against
the Investee Companies' agreed business plans.
The GBP2,488,000 (31 December 2014: GBP5,321,000) unsecured loan
notes are mostly the contractually agreed 70% of initial
investments.
d) Liquidity Risk
The Company's financial instruments include equity and debt
investments in unquoted companies, which are not traded in an
organised public market and which generally may be illiquid. As a
result, the Company may not be able to liquidate quickly some of
its investment in these instruments at an amount close to fair
value.
The Company maintains sufficient reserves of cash and readily
realisable marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements
at all times. No numerical disclosures have been provided in
respect of liquidity risk as this is not considered to be
material.
