Octopus Future Generations VCT plc
Half-Yearly Report
Octopus Future Generations VCT plc (‘Future Generations VCT’ or the
‘Company’) is backing businesses that aim to address some of society’s
biggest challenges, providing an opportunity for investors to share in the
growth of ambitious, purpose‑driven companies.
The Company is managed by Octopus AIF Management Limited (the ‘Manager’),
who has delegated investment management to Octopus Investments Limited
(‘Octopus’ or ‘Portfolio Manager’) via its investment team Octopus
Ventures.
The Company today announces the half-yearly report for the six months to 30
June 2025.
Chair’s statement
Key financials
* Total net assets: £52.6 million
* Net Asset Value (NAV) per share: 88.4p
* Dividend declared: 5.6p
I am pleased to present the unaudited half-yearly report and accounts for the
Company for the six months to 30 June 2025.
The Net Asset Value (NAV) per share at 30 June 2025 was 88.4p, which
represents a net decrease of 0.4p per share (-0.5%) from 31 December 2024. We
are now in the fourth year of investing, and while many of our companies
remain at an early stage, the portfolio continues to develop in line with our
long-term strategy. The recently declared special dividend payment allows
shareholders to benefit from our first company realisation.
In the six months, the Company invested £4.5m into five new and follow-on
opportunities. The cash balance of £20.8 million as at 30 June 2025
represents 39.5% of net assets at that date.
Fundraise
On 3 February 2025, to further support the Company’s growth, the Board
launched an initial offer to raise up to £5 million. The offer closed for new
applications on 1 April 2025 having successfully raised this amount. We would
like to take this opportunity to welcome all new shareholders to the Company
and thank all shareholders for their continued support.
As investors will be aware, the intention is to invest in businesses which
meet one of three key themes, which we believe demonstrate good investment
prospects, as well as having the potential to transform the world we live in
for the better. These three themes are further summarised in the full report.
Dividend
We are pleased that on 22 August 2025, the Company announced that it would pay
its first dividend, marking an important milestone in its progress. A special
dividend of 5.6p will be paid on 24 September 2025, as a result of the
proceeds received from the successful disposal of Cobee which occurred in
September 2024, the Company’s first full exit. This first realisation,
together with other companies achieving important commercial milestones,
provides some encouraging signs that the portfolio is beginning to deliver on
its long-term potential.
Following approval of the Dividend Reinvestment Scheme (DRIS) at the Annual
General Meeting (AGM) in June, 7% of shareholders have decided to take
advantage of the offer and will receive their dividend in Future Generations
VCT shares. This is an excellent option for those of you who prefer the
capital value of your investment to potentially grow to achieve your
investment objectives.
VCT Qualification
We are pleased to report that in June 2025, the Company met the requirement
for 80% of the Company’s funds to be invested in VCT-qualifying holdings by
30 June 2025. The remainder will continue to be invested in permitted non-VCT
qualifying investments or cash.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Board continues to review the risk environment in which the Company
operates on a regular basis. There have been no significant changes to the key
risks which were described on pages 37 to 39 of the Annual Report for the year
ended 31 December 2024. The Board does not anticipate any significant changes
to these risks.
Portfolio Manager and team
In September 2024, Octopus Titan VCT plc, a fund which the Company has
co-invested alongside to date, announced a review of strategy, due to the
ongoing performance issues it has faced. The review has now concluded, and the
Shareholder Circular has been distributed summarising the findings and
go-forward strategy. As part of the conclusion of the strategic review,
Octopus has committed to invest in additional team resourcing. The Board and
Octopus have agreed that further senior level resource will help to broaden
and deepen the level of experience across the team and increase the focus on
driving returns and realisations from the existing portfolio. As detailed in
the annual report, Simon King, Lead Fund Manager for Octopus Future
Generations VCT, has left to pursue a new opportunity and we will make an
announcement regarding his successor in due course.
Outlook
The modest decline in NAV over the six-month reporting period was delivered
against a highly volatile and dynamic macroeconomic backdrop. Both economic
and geopolitical developments continue to weigh heavily on growth prospects
and the fundraising environment for early-stage businesses. Furthermore, the
marked decline in the US Dollar, to which certain portfolio companies are
exposed, has created a small additional headwind for the Company’s
performance.
I would like to conclude by thanking both my Board colleagues and the Octopus
team on behalf of all shareholders for their hard work. The Board’s
long-term view of early-stage venture capital remains positive, and I am
looking forward to seeing what the remainder of the year brings for the
Company.

A selection of our completed investments
Revitalising healthcare
Ufonia
The company combines AI and clinical evidence to automate routine clinical
conversations. Its technology makes care more convenient, reliable and
consistent for patients, increases hospitals’ capacity, and allows clinical
professionals to spend more time meeting patients’ needs. Dora, its
medically regulated autonomous clinical assistant, can call any number of
patients and have a natural voice conversation covering a wide range of common
clinical consultations.
Empowering people
Slamcore
The company has developed spatial intelligence technology for machinery. It
creates embedded software that uses data from multiple sensors to help
products intelligently understand and navigate the complex and dynamic worlds
around them. It works across a range of products, from forklifts to autonomous
robots.
Building a sustainable planet
Phlux
The company is developing new infrared sensor technology that is transforming
the performance of laser range finders, LiDAR systems, and fibreoptic
telecommunications test equipment (OTDRs). Its technology can offer up to 50%
more range, up to 12x higher resolution and up to 40% lower system cost.

Portfolio engagement
As part of our strategy, we require portfolio companies to put in place a
Diversity and Inclusion policy (D&I) and an Anti-Harassment policy. We also
engage with each company to help them understand their greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and support them to take action to minimise them. You can see how we
are progressing with these goals below, as at the date of this report:
D&I policy status
Policy in place: 100%
Engaged in monitoring 2024 GHG emissions(1)
Signed up: 11%
Introduced: 58%
In progress: 31%
(1)As of 30 June 2025, only full year 2024 carbon emissions data was
available.
Focus on Performance
The NAV of 88.4p per share at 30 June 2025 represents a decrease of 0.4p per
share versus a NAV of 88.8p per share as at 31 December 2024. This decrease
over the six-month period has been largely driven by the downward valuation
movements across 13 companies which saw a collective decrease in value of
£3.1 million. The businesses which contributed most significantly to this
were Infinitopes, CellVoyant and VyperCore. Both Infinitopes and CellVoyant
have struggled to raise further follow-on rounds, so their valuations have
declined to reflect the risk of them being unsuccessful in securing funding.
Unfortunately, VyperCore’s board appointed administrators in the reporting
period as it was unable to secure further funding having not achieved its
commercial milestones set at the time of the Company’s initial investment.
Conversely, 13 companies delivered a collective increase in value of £3.2
million. These valuation increases reflect businesses which have successfully
concluded further funding rounds, grown revenues or met certain important
milestones. Notable strong performers in the portfolio include RemoFirst,
Ufonia and Manual. These top contributors demonstrate that there are
opportunities available for companies to scale even during periods of
heightened headwinds in the economy.
Octopus Ventures believes that some of the companies which have seen decreased
valuations in the six-month period have the potential to overcome the issues
they face and get their growth plans back on track. Octopus Ventures will
continue to work closely with these companies to help them realise their
ambitions. In some cases, if a company is achieving its performance
milestones, the support offered could include further funding, to ensure a
business has the capital it needs to execute on its strategy. At this early
stage of the Company’s life cycle, it is to be anticipated that failures
will likely precede valuation growth, which takes longer as the portfolio
companies must achieve their agreed milestones and mature.
In the six months to 30 June 2025, the Company received deferred proceeds from
the sale of Cobee (to Pluxee in 2024).
The gain on Future Generations VCT’s uninvested cash reserves was £0.5
million in the six-months to 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: gain of £1.4
million), driven by returns on money market funds. The Board’s objective for
these investments is to generate sufficient returns through the cycle to cover
costs, at limited risk to capital.
VCT-qualifying status
Shoosmiths LLP provides both the Board and Octopus with advice concerning
ongoing compliance with HMRC rules and regulations concerning VCTs and has
advised that Future Generations VCT continues to be compliant with the
conditions set by HMRC for maintaining approval as a VCT.
As at 30 June 2025, 100% of the portfolio (as measured by HMRC rules) was
invested in VCT-qualifying investments, above the 80% current VCT-qualifying
threshold. This threshold is continually monitored both internally by the
Manager and by external advisers and proactive measures are taken to optimise
it.
Outlook
The modest decline in NAV over the six months follows a period of progress
seen in the latter half of 2024. While short-term fluctuations are expected in
early-stage investing, we continue to see encouraging signs of development
across the portfolio. The team have continued to deploy funds, investing £4.5
million, which includes follow-on investments into the portfolio companies
which we believe are exciting opportunities for the Company and are showing
potential.
This performance is set against an extremely volatile market backdrop which is
looking likely to continue. We will continue to support our companies through
our in-house People and Talent team and our panel of expert consultants,
helping them to navigate growth challenges and build strong foundations. We
know that building talented teams drives innovation, enhances productivity and
contributes to a positive work culture, all of which lead to a company’s
overall success. It will also be a focus of the team to take advantage of any
exit opportunities as they arise and look to drive liquidity events where
possible, with the aim of regularly returning capital to the Company to
deliver sustainable growth and deliver on its objectives.
We are excited to have the opportunity to continue to scale the Company,
support its ambition to make the world a better place for future generations,
and hope to deliver attractive returns to shareholders.

Condensed notes to the financial statements
1. Basis of preparation
The unaudited results which cover the six months to 30 June 2025 have been
prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC)
Financial Reporting Standard 104 Interim Financial Reporting (January 2022)
and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Investment Companies
re-issued by the Association of Investment Companies in July 2022.
The Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting. The Directors have not identified any material uncertainties to
the Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis over a
period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial
statements. In reaching this conclusion, the Directors have taken into account
the potential impact on the economy including inflation and the recession.
The principal accounting policies have remained unchanged from those set out
in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report and Accounts.
2. Publication of non-statutory accounts
The unaudited financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 does not
constitute Statutory Accounts within the meaning of s.415 of the Companies Act
2006 and has not been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The comparative
figures for the period ended 31 December 2024 have been extracted from the
audited financial statements for that period, which have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The independent auditor’s report on those financial
statements, in accordance with Chapter 3, Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006,
was unqualified. This financial report has not been reviewed by the
Company’s auditor.
3. Earnings per share
The loss per share is based on 56,631,830 Ordinary shares (30 June 2024:
50,107,452, 31 December 2024: 51,727,417) being the weighted average number of
shares in issue during the period. There are no potentially dilutive capital
instruments in issue and so no diluted returns per share figures are relevant.
The basic and diluted earnings per share are therefore identical.
4. Net asset value per share
30 June 2025 30 June 2024 31 December 2024
Net assets (£’000) 52,613 46,132 47,923
Shares in issue 59,508,123 53,160,670 53,941,104
Net asset value per share (p) 88.4 86.8 88.8
5. Allotments
During the six months to 30 June 2025, 5,567,019 shares were issued at a
weighted average price of 91.6p per share (30 June 2024: 5,022,333 shares at a
weighted average price of 95.2p per share, 31 December 2024: 5,802,767 shares
at a weighted average price of 94.4p per share).
6. Transactions with the Manager and Portfolio Manager
Future Generations VCT is classified as a full-scope Alternative Investment
Fund (AIF) under the Alternative Investment Fund Management Directive (AIFMD).
Future Generations VCT has appointed Octopus AIF Management Limited to provide
the services of an Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) of a full scope
AIF. In accordance with its power to do so under AIFMD, Octopus AIF Management
Limited has delegated portfolio management to Octopus Investments Limited,
whilst retaining the obligations of a risk manager.
Future Generations VCT paid Octopus AIF Management Limited £500,000 in the
period as a management fee (30 June 2024: £950,000, 31 December 2024:
£1,380,000). The annual management charge (AMC) is based on 2% of Future
Generations VCT’s NAV. The AMC is payable quarterly in advance and
calculated using the latest published NAV of Future Generations VCT and the
number of shares in issue at each quarter end. Once the quarter has ended, an
adjustment will be made if the NAV at the end of the current quarter is
calculated and which differs from the NAV as at the end of the
previous quarter.
Octopus also provides Non-Investment Services to Future Generations VCT,
payable quarterly in advance. The fee is 0.3% of Future Generations VCT’s
NAV, calculated at quarterly intervals. The Non-Investment Services Agreement
(NISA) fee is calculated using the latest published NAV of Future Generations
VCT and the number of shares in issue at each quarter end. As with the AMC, an
adjustment will be made once the quarter has ended if the NAV at the end of
the current quarter is calculated and which differs from the NAV as at the end
of the previous quarter. During the period £75,000 was paid to Octopus for
Non-Investment Services (30 June 2024: £143,000, 31 December 2024:
£213,000).
In addition, Octopus is entitled to performance-related incentive fees,
subject to Future Generations VCT’s total return at year end exceeding the
total return at the previous year end when an incentive fee was paid or 97p if
the first incentive fee has not yet been paid (the ‘Excess’), equal to 20%
