CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the Half-Yearly Report for the Company for the six
months ended 30 September 2023.
Market conditions have remained difficult throughout the period, however we
have seen a steady level of new investment activity, utilising some of the
funds raised from the successful offer for subscription earlier this year.
Net Asset Value and results
At 30 September 2023, the Company’s Net Asset Value per share (“NAV”)
stood at 49.9p, a decrease of 1.9p or 3.6% since 31 March 2023 (after adding
back the dividend paid during the period).
The loss on ordinary activities after taxation for the period was £3.8
million, comprising a revenue loss of £209,000 and a capital loss of £3.6
million.
Dividend
In 2023, the Company paid dividends in April and September 2023, totalling
1.5p. As explained in the 2023 Annual Report, VCT regulations restrict the
payment of dividends out of reserves related to funds raised in the last three
to four years. Following a series of successful fundraising offers in recent
years, the Company has raised substantial levels of funds and as a result the
Board currently has to carefully monitor reserves to ensure that the VCT
regulations remain adhered to. The Board targets a total annual dividend of
equal to 5% of net asset value, although ensuring continuing compliance with
the VCT regulations will always take precedent.
As a result of the above, the Board is not proposing to pay a dividend prior
to the end of the accounting period but intends to review this and continue a
strong dividend policy once a greater level of reserves is “unlocked” from
the VCT regulation restrictions in future.
With this in mind, the Company will pay an interim dividend on 5 April 2024
of 1.0p per share, to Shareholders on the register at 23 February 2024.
Shareholders are reminded that the Company operates a Dividend Reinvestment
Scheme, which allows Shareholders to automatically reinvest their dividends
into new shares in the Company and obtain further income tax relief on that
investment. Further details about how to opt-in can be found in the
“Shareholder Information” section on the inside cover of this report. The
last date for elections under the Dividend Reinvestment Scheme for the above
dividend will be 8 March 2024.
Venture capital investments
During the period, the Company made four new and three follow-on investments,
at a total cost of £13.2 million.
New investments were made in Morressier GmbH, Melio Healthcare Limited,
Binalyze OU, and Oliva Health Holdings Inc. Follow-on investments were made in
Global Satellite Vu Limited, Allplants Limited, and Apperio Limited.
At the period end, the Company held a portfolio of 52 venture capital
investments, valued at £92.2 million.
As usual, the Board has reviewed the valuations of the unquoted investments as
at 30 September 2023 and a number of adjustments to their carrying values have
been made. This has resulted in a net valuation downturn of £2.6 million for
the period across the whole portfolio.
The Company holds two AIM-quoted investments; Access Intelligence plc and
Fulcrum Utility Services Limited, which are both valued at their share prices
as at 30 September 2023. The valuation of the investment in Access
Intelligence saw a decrease of £1.7 million over the period and that in
Fulcrum of £383,000.
Fundraising
As noted in the last Annual Report, the Company closed a successful offer for
subscription in February 2023, having raised £29.6 million.
In view of the strong demand from investors and the expectation of a
continuing stream of good quality deal flow, the Company launched a new offer
for subscription in October, seeking to raise up to £20 million (with an
overallotment facility of £20 million to be used at the Directors’
discretion). Approximately £3.5 million has been raised to date.
Shareholders can find full details of the offer, including the prospectus, and
online application at:

(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=od5aBy1U4DwkVll1w4jpSTaqryiWc7CVrhOguw5C_TEvkddRYPLE1KDGgopEcOKw2moJQ6HqOOhMxEBV_9aJzyf53V4nToPkxovP1UVHIIOcMvilOKRcsYriEAl1vLKYesthg8UVrMo5XbWFnFvZEe-ydDtDzRyO4U6yL2o76NDh2BYouBJ9kQYmcJA48_9O)
Investors are recommended to consult their financial adviser before making any
investment decisions.
Share buybacks
The Company continues to operate a policy of buying in its shares that become
available in the market at approximately a 5% discount to the latest published
NAV, subject to regulatory and liquidity constraints.
In line with this policy, during the period, the Company purchased 1,233,000
shares for cancellation at an average price of 48.91p per share.
As noted above in respect of the dividend, the Board is currently monitoring
the Company’s reserves to ensure continued compliance with the VCT
regulations. In view of this, it is not expected that any further share
buybacks will be made prior to the end of March 2024. However, the Board
confidently expects to resume buybacks, subject to the above, in the
Company’s next financial year.
Any Shareholders considering selling their shares will need to use a
stockbroker, whom you should ask to contact Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited, who
acts as the Company’s corporate broker, and maintains a list of potential
sellers to be contacted when the next buyback is undertaken by the Company.
Outlook
Although we have seen a slight fall in NAV over the period, the Board is
satisfied with the approach taken by the manager in supporting existing
portfolio companies and continuing to identify suitable new opportunities.
We are hopeful that conditions will begin to improve in 2024 and that we may
now be approaching a point in the cycle when excellent investment
opportunities in the sectors in which your Company operates are available at
attractive prices which can drive strong performance in future.
I look forward to updating Shareholders on progress in my statement in the
Annual Report to 31 March 2024, which will be published in the summer.

Chairman
INVESTMENT MANAGER’S REPORT
The challenging market backdrop has continued for the period however we
continue to actively support our portfolio companies as well as making new
investments.
The valuation movements in the first half of the year showed a NAV Total
Return (NAVTR - adding back dividends paid in the period) decrease of 3.6%.
While we are disappointed to report this small decline in NAVTR in the period,
our long-held and consistent approach to valuations has enabled the manager to
demonstrate relative resilience. Having acted quickly at the onset of the
downturn in early 2022, we are now seeing evidence of greater stability in our
valuations, and we anticipate further stabilisation, and in parts, recovery.
Following a successful fundraising season, deployment has been strong for the
first seven months of the year. Including one new investment made post the
period end, the team completed eight investments totalling £15.9 million.
This compares with a total invested in the previous twelve months of £17.3
million. This comprised five new investments totalling £12.1 million
alongside three follow-on investments totalling £3.8 million.
At the period end, Molten technology companies represented 87% of the
portfolio and legacy companies 13%. The net asset valuation split was 76% in
investments, and 24% in cash and other net current assets, which was reduced
by the new investment made post the period end.
Five new investments (including one made post the period end), alongside the
Molten EIS and Molten Ventures plc funds, were made into the following
companies:
£’000
Oliva Health Holdings Inc Non-clinical mental health solutions 1,628
Morressier GmbH Publishes workflow and integrity software 3,162
Binalyze OU Cybersecurity F orensics and incident response 2,161
Melio Healthcare Limited t/a IMU Bioscience Immune system bio diagnostics 2,520
Anima Group Inc (made after the period end) Care enablement platform 2,653
12,124
In the period, one portfolio company, Global Satellite Vu Limited, attracted a
£12.7 million follow-on investment bringing their total investment to £30.5m
in venture capital funding. The round was led by Molten Ventures, with
participation from Seraphim Space Investment Trust PLC, A/O Proptech, Lockheed
Martin, Ridgeline Ventures, Earth Sciences Foundation, and Stellar Ventures -
all existing investors.
Global Satellite Vu Limited, is a UK-based company that is launching a
constellation of infrared satellites capable of monitoring the thermal
footprint of any building on earth multiple times a day. The technology, built
by Airbus, is proven, and there's commercial exclusivity over the intellectual
property in perpetuity. The first satellite launched in June 2023 with SpaceX.
By 2024/5 a constellation of just 7 satellites will provide global coverage
with the ability to capture data over specific areas of interest 10-20 times a
day.
Global Satellite Vu is not just focusing on delivering geospatial intelligence
for defence and government customers; its long-term vision is to create
proprietary data, analytics, and solutions focusing on energy efficiency,
retrofit, and net-zero markets. Global Satellite Vu has already secured
customer commitments through its Early Access Option Programme (EAP) valued at
over £128 million.
Two further smaller follow-on investments were made into Apperio Limited and
AllPlants Limited.
There were no successful exits in the period, however, post the period end
Fluidic Analytics entered administration. While disappointing from a returns
perspective, we are hopeful that the technology will be sold to continue the
ground-breaking work achieved by the company.
Following the successful fundraise of £29.6 million in the last tax season,
the Company recently launched its new fundraising offer with a target first
close of £20 million. The prospectus is available to download from the
VCT’s website at investors.moltenventures.com/investor-relations/vct
(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=od5aBy1U4DwkVll1w4jpSTaqryiWc7CVrhOguw5C_TEvkddRYPLE1KDGgopEcOKw2moJQ6HqOOhMxEBV_9aJz63ae3d_2khcktOWARKU447zw1W_QWXomdIki5QY7sS_1ZGQOqten2yIa1tZ3gLwxplxlb6BT14C1ljaAEP6NEN79PxfDrzW9DKAmAENGBxy)
Access to the application portal and other documentation is also available on
that page.
The Investment Manager is an active member of the VCT Association (VCTA) which
represents 13 of the largest VCT fund managers and makes up over 90% of the
£6.6 billion VCT industry. We were delighted to see that the Chancellor has
officially confirmed the extension of the sunset clause on the VCT scheme to
2035. This fantastic result is a testament to the hard work of the VCTA and
its members over the last few years. The data, resources and site visit
opportunities provided by VCT managers were vital in helping to make the case
to HM Treasury that the VCT scheme deserves to be extended and help the next
generation of British businesses scale and grow.
As your fund manager, we are cautiously optimistic for the year ahead as the
technology markets continue to stabilise and recover in places. Our focus
remains on positioning ourselves to capture exceptional opportunities at
attractive valuations in what is increasingly a buyers’ market for venture
capital.

During the period, the Company allotted 36,846,664 Ordinary Shares of 5p each
(“Shares”) under an Offer for Subscription that launched in October 2022,
at an average price of 52.96p per Share. Gross proceeds received thereon were
£19.5 million, with issue costs in respect of the Offer amounting to £1.0
million.

at 1 April 2023.
8. Reserves
The special reserve is available to the Company to enable the purchase of its
own shares in the market without affecting its ability to pay dividends and
allows the Company to write back realised capital losses arising on disposals
and impairments.
Distributable reserves are calculated as follows:
30 Sept 2023 30 Sept 2022 31 Mar 2023
£’000 £’000 £’000
Special reserve 63,602 2,285 65,178
Capital reserve - realised (2,431) 936 853
Revenue reserve (2,310) (1,578) (2,101)
Unrealised losses - net of unquoted gains (6,149) (1,057) (1,579)
52,712 586 62,351
During the year ended 31 March 2023, the balances on the Share Premium account
and the capital redemption reserve were cancelled and added to the special
reserve, contributing an additional £64.5 million to distributable reserves.
The VCT regulations place some restrictions on the use of these reserves
during the first three to four years after the funds on which they arose were
raised. Currently, £54.9 million of the special reserve is restricted by
these regulations.
9. Investments
The fair value of investments is determined using the detailed accounting
policy as set out in Note 1 of the Annual Report.
The Company has categorised its financial instruments using the fair value
hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 Reflects financial instruments quoted in an active
market (fixed interest investments, and investments in shares quoted on either
the Main or AIM Markets);
Level 2 Reflects financial instruments that have prices that
are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 Reflects financial instruments that use valuation
techniques that are not based on observable market data (unquoted equity
investments and loan note investments).

10. Risks and uncertainties
Under the Disclosure and Transparency Directive, the Board is required in the
Company’s half-yearly results to report on principal risks and uncertainties
facing the Company over the remainder of the financial year.
The Board has concluded that the key risks facing the Company over the
remainder of the financial period are as follows:
* investment risk associated with investing in small and immature businesses;
* liquidity risk arising from investing mainly in unquoted businesses; and
* failure to maintain approval as a VCT.
In all cases the Board is satisfied with the Company’s approach to these
risks. As a VCT, the Company is forced to have significant exposure to
relatively immature businesses. This risk is mitigated to some extent by
holding a well-diversified portfolio.
With a reasonably illiquid venture capital investment portfolio, the Board
ensures that it maintains an appropriate proportion of its assets in cash and
liquid instruments.
The Company’s compliance with the VCT regulations is continually monitored
by the Administration Manager, who regularly reports to the Board on the
current position. The Company also retains Philip Hare and Associates LLP to
provide regular reviews and advice in this area. The Board considers that this
approach reduces the risk of a breach of the VCT regulations to a minimal
level.
The Company has considerable financial resources at the period end and holds a
diversified portfolio of investments. As a result, the Directors believe that
the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite
the current uncertain economic outlook.
The Directors have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the
financial statements.
11. The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the
half-yearly financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
“Statement: Half-Yearly Financial Reports” issued by the UK Accounting
Standards Board as well as in accordance with FRS 104 Interim Financial
Reporting and the half-yearly financial report includes a fair review of the
information required by:
(a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an
indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months
of the current financial year and their impact on the condensed set of
financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and
(b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being related
party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the
current financial year and that have materially affected the financial
position or performance of the entity during that period, and any changes in
the related party transactions described in the last Annual Report that could
do so.
12. The unaudited financial statements set out herein do not constitute
statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006
and have not been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The figures for the
period ended 31 March 2023 have been extracted from the financial statements
for that period, which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies; the
Auditor’s report on those financial statements was unqualified.
13. Copies of the unaudited Half-Yearly Report will be sent to Shareholders
shortly. Further copies can be obtained from the Company’s registered office
or downloaded from investors.moltenventures.com/investor-relations/vct
