interim management statement for the financial year ending 31 October 2011, as
required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules,
Rule 4.3.
The Company was launched in 2000 with the objective of providing high long-term
tax-free returns to investors through a combination of dividend yield and
capital growth, by investing in a portfolio of investments mainly comprising
holdings in UK AIM-quoted and unquoted companies. The Company is a venture
capital trust approved by HM Revenue & Customs and is required to comply on a
continuing basis with the provisions of Section 274 of the Income Tax Act 2007.
The unaudited net asset value (NAV) per ordinary share as at 31 July 2011 was
30.0p (30 April 2011 29.0p).
For the purposes of calculating the net asset value per share, quoted
investments are carried at bid price as at 31 July 2011 and unquoted investments
are carried at fair value as at 31 July 2011 as determined by the directors.
During the quarter ended 31 July 2011 there were no significant investment
acquisitions and the following holdings (AIM-quoted unless otherwise stated)

The number of ordinary shares in issue at 31 July 2011 was 22,596,942. During
the quarter ended 31 July 2011 no shares were allotted or bought back for
cancellation by the Company.
On 16 August 2011 the Company published a circular to shareholders setting out a
recommended proposal for a merger with Northern 3 VCT PLC by way of a scheme of
reconstruction of the Company ("the Scheme") and cancellation of the listing of
the Company's shares. At a general meeting of the Company held on 16 September
2011 a resolution was passed to approve the Scheme. Consequently it is
envisaged that dealings in the Company's shares will be suspended with effect
from 7.30am on 26 September 2011 and that, subject to the passing of a
resolution to be proposed at a second general meeting of the Company to be held
at 12.30pm on 26 September 2011, the Company will be wound up and its assets and
liabilities will be transferred to Northern 3 VCT PLC, in exchange for new
ordinary shares in Northern 3 VCT PLC which will be issued direct to the
Company's shareholders. The listing of the Company's shares is expected to be
cancelled with effect from 7.30am on 27 September 2011.
On 16 August 2011 the board declared a special dividend of 3.0p per ordinary
share which will, subject to the Scheme becoming effective, be paid on 7 October
2011 to shareholders on the register on 23 September 2011.
The directors are not aware of any other events or transactions which have taken
place between 30 April 2011 and the date of publication of this statement and
which have had a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
This statement has been prepared solely to provide additional information in
order to meet the requirements of the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules
and should not be relied on by shareholders, or any other party, for any other
purpose.
