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 paying tax-free dividends to shareholders from both the actual income received and capital profits on the sale of investments in the companies that the Company and Ingenious Entertainment VCT 1 plc (together the Ingenious Entertainment VCT's) invest in (Investee Companies).

 

Investments

 

The current investment portfolio includes:

 

Brighton Boundary Festival

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 investment amount: GBP250,000 (H share)

 

(GBP500,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

The Ingenious Entertainment VCTs joined forces with LWE, SWG and Matt Priest to produce and promote a new music festival called Boundary in Brighton.

 

The first event is due to be held in September 2016 in Stamner Park in Brighton and will form part of Fresher's Week for the University of Sussex and Brighton as well as being aimed at the local audience in and around Brighton and London.

 

Tickets are on sale and well ahead of forecast.

 

Genius Star Limited

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 investment amount: GBP375,000 (H share)

 

(GBP750,000 across the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs)

 

The Ingenious Entertainment VCTs teamed up with Electric Star Ltd, a company run by Rob Star that runs 4 successful multi-purpose bar/kitchen style venues in East London and Kings Cross, to invest in a new company, Genius Star Limited.

 

The concept is a multi-faceted and vibrant space which will capitalise on the premises' location and the experience of Rob Star.

 

The venue serves as a functioning bar and kitchen, and a multi-purpose event space for promoted, co-promoted and externally hired activities.

 

The opening night on the 21st July was a great success and the venue hit its weekly target after just 3 days trading and week on week the venue continues to exceed its targets.

 

Outlook

 

The recent Brexit referendum result has caused a significant level of uncertainty in the UK economy. Anecdotally, the expectation is that there will be a measure of downturn economically which may adversely impact the performance of the portfolio. The Manager hopes that discretionary spend increases, and that live event attendances at least hold firm. What is becoming evident is that the so-called 'headliner driven' events are showing signs of customer fatigue and the events that deliver more of a broad ranging customer experience are benefitting from this. The Manager believes that it has created a portfolio that delivers this enhanced customer experience.

 

The Manager's focus remains very firmly upon ensuring that the investments made by the Company are carefully sourced and structured in order to balance potential upside against capital risk. The Manager also believes that the Company's strategy, which aims to balance equity risk with a significant level of downside protection through minimum revenue arrangements in respect of each investment, remains entirely relevant in an uncertain economic environment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

for the six months ended 30 June 2016

 

1. Accounting Policies

 

a) Company Information

 

Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 plc is a venture capital trust company resident in the United Kingdom and incorporated in England and Wales on 10 October 2007. The address of the registered office is 15 Golden Square, London, W1F 9JG.

 

b) Statement of Compliance

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements for the Reporting Period have been prepared in compliance with applicable UK Accounting Standards, being FRS 102 - The Financial Reporting Standard, the Companies Act 2006 and with the Statement of Recommended Practice (the SORP) entitled "Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts" (with the exception of paragraph 82 of the SORP 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 half year accounts are prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards 104 - Interim Financial Reporting.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The principal accounting policies have remained unchanged from those set out in the Company's 2015 Annual Report and Accounts.

 

c) Financial Instruments

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.

 

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 methodologies most applicable to the Company's investments are:

 

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.

 

As a result of the above basis of valuation, there is significant judgement associated with the valuation of investments.

 

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 the 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.

 

d) Investment Income (continued)

 

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 the 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 30 June 2016: 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.

 

2. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

3. Loss on ordinary activities before taxation

 

Loss on ordinary activities before taxation is stated after charging:

 
                             30 June 2016  30 June 2015  31 December 2015

The Company had no employees during the financial period ended 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: Nil, 30 June 2015: Nil).

 

5. Basic and Diluted Return per share

 

The basic return per D share has been calculated on a weighted average of 6,735,624 D shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 6,735,624; 30 June 2015: 6,735,624).

 

The basic return per E share has been calculated on a weighted average of 2,846,122 E shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 2,846,122; 30 June 2015: 2,846,122).

 

The basic return per F share has been calculated on a weighted average of 1,572,095 F shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 1,572,095; 30 June 2015: 1,572,095).

 

The basic return per G share has been calculated on a weighted average of 3,518,044 G shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 3,518,044; 30 June 2015: 3,518,044).

 

The basic return per H share has been calculated on a weighted average of 2,660,842 H shares in issue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 2,660,842; 30 June 2015: 2,660,842).

 

There are no dilutive potential D shares, E shares, F shares, G shares or H shares, including convertible instruments, options or contingent share agreements in issue for the Company. The basic return per share is therefore the same as the diluted return per share.

a) Qualifying Investments

 

Quoted market prices in active markets - "Level a"

 

Level a: quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held is the current bid price.

 

Valued using models with significant observable market parameters - "Level b"

 

Level b: where quoted prices are not available, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset, providing there has been no significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse in time since the transaction took place.

 

Valued using models with observable parameters - "Level c (i)"

 

Level c(i): fair values where the value estimate relies on observable market data. The fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all the inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instruments is included in level c (i).

 

Valued using models with significant unobservable parameters - "Level c (ii)"

 

Level c(ii): fair values are not traded in an active market and the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques such as less recent third party transactions or earnings multiples. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level c (ii). The Company's unquoted investments all fall into this category.

 

There have been no transfers between these classifications in the year. The change in fair value for the current and previous year is recognised through the statement of comprehensive income.

 

b) Non-qualifying Investments

 

In order to safeguard the capital available for investment in VCT Qualifying Investments and balance this with the need to provide good returns to investors, available funds from the net proceeds are invested in appropriate securities (money market securities and cash funds) until required for Qualifying Investment purposes.

 

7. Net Asset Value per share

 

The unaudited net asset value per D share has been calculated based on 6,735,624 D shares being the number of D shares in issue as at 30 June 2016 (31 December 2015: 6,735,624; 30 June 2015: 6,735,624).
