Introduction

As at 31 March 2022, the net assets of the Company were £471.6 million,
giving a Net Asset Value ('NAV') per share of 637.78p, which taking into
account the dividend of 5.27p paid on 28 January 2022, gives an increase of
0.4% over the quarter. The share price performance has been disappointing with
a share price total return of -4.5% for the period. The discount had widened
to 28% by the quarter end and now stands at 29%. Many of the other investment
companies in our sector have seen similar downward pressure on share prices
reflecting the impact of external shocks on investor sentiment.

 

As at 31 March 2022 the Company had net debt of £12.2 million. The current
debt is slightly higher at £21.3 million. Outstanding undrawn commitments
were £152.9 million including £36.8 million to funds where the investment
period has expired.

 

The dividend to be paid on 29 July 2022 to shareholders on the register on 8
July 2022 with an ex-dividend date of 7 July 2022 will be 6.05p per share.

 

As is usual for the first quarter most of the valuations are based upon 31
December valuations. Very few March reports had been received by the date of
compilation of this valuation. 14% of valuations are based on 31 March data
with the remaining 86% based on December reports. This is in line with the
usual proportions at this early point in the year.

 

New Investments

There were five new commitments to funds made during the quarter. $14 million
was committed to Corsair VI, the mid-market buyout fund with a focus on
financial services in North America and Europe. This is a firm we have known
for a number of years, mainly through our co-investment in insurance company
software business RGI. We have made three new commitments to funds based in
the Nordic region. €10 million was committed to Procuritas VII, the fourth
fund we have backed in a series of highly successful mid-market buyout funds
from this Stockholm based manager. €7 million was committed to Verdane Edda
III (technology based growth investments in the upper mid-market of Northern
Europe) and €8 million to Verdane Capital XI (mid-sized and smaller growth
investments in Northern Europe including secondary portfolios as well as
single assets). We are already invested in the previous Verdane Edda fund.
€7.0 million was committed to MED Platform II, the ArchiMed managed
mid-market buyout fund with a focus on healthcare in North America and Europe.

 

Three new co-investments have been added during the quarter. The co-investment
portfolio now accounts for 46.7% of the overall portfolio.

 

$10.0 million (£7.8 million) was invested in Aurora Payment Solutions, a
digital payments solutions provider for over 20,000 US merchants in multiple
sectors including hospitality and transport. Headquartered in Texas, this
investment is led by Corsair Capital, who as noted above are financial
services specialists.

 

£3.9 million was invested in Perfect Image, a Newcastle based IT services
group. The company's client base are SMEs often undertaking migrations to the
Cloud or bolstering their cybersecurity. The deal is led by Chiltern Capital,
a lower mid-market manager with whom we have co-invested on a number of
occasions.

 

€3.3 million (£2.8 million) was invested in Bomaki, a 'sushi samba' style
restaurant chain based in the Milan region of Northern Italy. The restaurants
offer a fusion cuisine combining influences from Japan and Brazil. The chain
starts with nine restaurants and the plan is to build out to 24 within three
years. The deal is led by Augens Capital who are well known to us from the San
Siro investment (funeral homes). There is also a co-lead investor, Buono
Ventures, who have specific expertise in the restaurant sector.

 

There were small follow-ons in three co-investments; £0.8 million in Canadian
adtech company Pathfactory, £0.6 million in Ontario based software company
Tier I CRM and £0.4 million in vein visualisation equipment company AccuVein.

 

The funds in the portfolio initiated several new investments during the
quarter. As has been the case in recent years there is a strong representation
from technology enabled businesses and companies with a healthcare focus.

 

FPE II have called £0.6 million for Egress, a provider of migration and
managed services enabling mainly NHS and local authority customers to move to
the cloud. Kester Capital called £0.5 million for Optibrium a software
company focusing on drug discovery for the pharmaceuticals sector. MVM V
called £0.5 million for two companies; Vero Bioscience, the provider of a
novel nitric oxide delivery system with applications for new born babies and
cardiac patients where we are also a co-investor, and OptiNose a drug delivery
company where its product XHANCE treats chronic sinusitis. In Finland Vaaka
III called £0.4 million for Medbase a provider of decision support databases
for professionals and organizations covering for example drug interactions
with other drugs and potential adverse effects.

 

After the quarter end £5 million has been committed to Northern Gritstone, a
new investment company founded by the Universities of Manchester, Leeds and
Sheffield to make investments in University spin-outs and other growth
opportunities in the North of England. This is an innovative and carefully
structured new venture led by the former Goldman Sachs partner and government
minister Lord O'Neil and Duncan Johnson, formerly of Caledonia Investments and
RJD Partners.

 

The total investment in co-investments and through fund drawdowns in the
quarter was £20.6 million.

 

Realisations

There were no realisations of co-investments in the quarter but there were
several exits from companies held in the funds portfolio.

 

In the UK August Equity IV returned £2.9 million from energy procurement
company Zenergi (5.3x cost, 50% IRR). From a range of funds Inflexion returned
£2.7 million from compliance risk management company Alcumus (5.9x cost, 37%
IRR). Primary Capital IV had two exits; railway equipment and services
provider Readypower returned £1.4 million (4.6x cost, 39% IRR) and the
accredited online courses company ICS Learn £1.1 million (4.4x cost, 49%
IRR). There was a return of capital of £1.1 million from our co-investment in
Weird Fish following the partial redemption of loan stock.

 

There were a number of good exits in Europe. Astorg VI exited the Switzerland
based Autoform which provides software for use in sheet metal forming in a
sale to Carlyle which returned £2.4 million (4.1x cost, 30% IRR). ArchiMed II
sold Austrian medical and veterinary diagnostics company Eurolyser returning
£1.2 million (6.0x cost, 79% IRR). Finland based Vaaka II exited the leading
physiotherapy company in that country, Fysio, returning £0.5 million (3.3x
cost, 21% IRR).

 

The combined total of realisations for the first quarter was £16.2 million
which is almost exactly the same as at this point last year.

 

Valuation Changes

The largest change in valuation was an uplift of £6.4 million for our
Silverfleet led co-investment in cleanroom consumables company STAXS, which is
being sold. Proceeds, which will be received imminently, are £15.8 million
and together with prior receipts from last year's recapitalisation represents
an excellent 6.2x cost and an IRR of 87% and a premium of 68% over the
previous valuation. STAXS has made superb underlying progress which was
enhanced by increased demand during the pandemic. Other uplifts include for US
based Mexican themed restaurant chain Rosa Mexicano (+£1.1 million) where
normality is returning to trading and Astorg VI (+£0.8 million) where the
Autoform exit noted above has given a lift. There is a reduction for Ashtead
(-£1.1 million) to reflect a carried interest provision.

 

Financing

The Company is modestly geared as we enter what is likely to be a challenging
economic environment.  More than 80% of the borrowing facility is unused at
the time of writing and there are several realisations at varying stages of
completion which should result in substantial cash inflows over the next few
months. It would be reasonable to expect the currently buoyant exit market to
deflate somewhat given the accumulation of external risks but by how much and
how quickly is far from clear. It is likely that there will be some buying
opportunities and the Company has the resources to take these judiciously.

 

Outlook

As noted above the market is processing a number of external shocks after a
particularly positive period for the private equity sector. Supply chain
issues and the oil price rises arising from the combination of the recovery
from the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has reignited the long
dormant scourge of inflation. Traditionally investment in productive assets
such as equity, including private equity, has provided a degree of protection
against the worst effects of inflation. There will undoubtedly be challenges
for many businesses, not least those with consumer exposure, as the cost of
living crisis deepens. Set against this is a robust appetite for private
equity from a wide range of investors engendered by its strong track record of
delivering returns through many different economic situations and its
propensity to identify businesses experiencing strong secular growth.  The
Company's portfolio is deliberately well diversified and this has been of
conspicuous benefit throughout our 23 year history. Our investment partners
are greatly experienced in both dealing with adversity and in finding
resilient companies at attractive prices. This is a logical basis for
confidence that your Company can continue to deliver good returns for
shareholders over the long term.
