The capital reserve represents the proportion of Investment Management fees charged against capital and realised/unrealised
gains or losses on the disposal/revaluation of investments. The unrealised capital reserve, share redemption reserve and
share premium reserve are not distributable. The special distributable reserve was created on court cancellation of the
share premium account. The revenue, special distributable and realised capital reserves are distributable by way of
dividend.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
 
1.      Corporate Information 
 
The Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2017 were authorised for issue in accordance with a
resolution of the Directors on 15 June 2017. 
 
The Company was admitted for listing on the London Stock Exchange on 6 February 2008. 
 
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Great Britain and registered in England and Wales.  The address of its
registered office, which is also its principal place of business, is 18 St Swithin's Lane, London EC4N 8AD. 
 
The Company is required to nominate a functional currency, being the currency in which the Company predominantly operates.
The functional and reporting currency is sterling, reflecting the primary economic environment in which the Company
operates. 
 
The principal activity of the Company is investment. The Company's investment strategy is that at least 70% of the
Company's net assets are or will be invested in VCT qualifying unquoted companies. The remaining assets are exposed either
to cash or cash-based similar liquid investments or investments originated in line with the Company's VCT Qualifying
Investment Policy. 
 
2.      Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies 
 
Basis of Preparation 
 
After making the necessary enquiries, the Directors confirm that they are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources
to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The Board receives regular reports from the Investment Manager and the
Directors believe that, as no material uncertainties leading to significant doubt about going concern have been identified,
it is appropriate to continue to apply the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements. 
 
The Financial Statements of the Company for the year to 31 March 2017 have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") adopted for use in the European Union and complied with the Statement of Recommended
Practice: "Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts" (SORP) issued by the Association
of Investment Companies (AIC) in November 2014 and updated in January 2017, in so far as this does not conflict with IFRS. 
 
The Financial Statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except that investments are shown at fair value through
profit or loss. 
 
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these
judgements. 
 
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities relate to: 
 
·    the valuation of unlisted financial investments held at fair value through profit or loss, which are valued on the
basis noted below (under the heading Non Current Asset Investments) and in note 10. 
 
·    the recognition or otherwise of accrued income on loan notes and similar instruments granted to investee companies
which is assessed in conjunction with the overall valuation of unlisted financial investments as noted above. 
 
The key judgements made by Directors are in the valuation of unquoted investments. 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 that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both
current and future periods. The carrying value of investments is disclosed in note 10 and 11. 
 
The Directors do not believe that there are any further key judgements made in applying accounting policies or estimates in
respect of the Financial Statements. 
 
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below which are based on
the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS in issue as adopted by the European Union (EU). 
 
These accounting policies have been applied consistently in preparing these Financial Statements. 
 
Standards issued but not yet effective 
 
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended 31 March
2017, and have not been applied in preparing these Financial Statements. 
 
· IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective 1 January 2018) 
 
· IFRS Revenue from contracts with customers (effective 1 January 2018) 
 
All of these changes will be applied by the Company from the effective date but none of them are expected to have a
significant impact on the Company's Financial Statements. 
 
Presentation of Statement of Comprehensive Income 
 
In order better to reflect the activities of a Venture Capital Trust, and in accordance with the guidance issued by the
Association of Investment Companies, supplementary information which analyses the Statement of Comprehensive Income between
items of a revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the Income Statement. 
 
Capital Management 
 
Capital management is monitored and controlled using the internal control procedures set out on page 32. The capital being
managed includes equity and fixed interest VCT qualifying investments, cash balances and liquid resources including debtors
and creditors. 
 
The Company's objectives when managing capital are: 
 
·    to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to shareholders
and benefits for other stakeholders; 
 
·    to ensure sufficient liquid resources are available to meet the funding requirements of its investments and to fund
new investments where identified. 
 
·    to enter into short term finance only to enhance short term liquidity. 
 
All capital is represented by the value of share capital, distributable and other reserves. Total Shareholder equity at 31
March 2017 was £44.5 million (2016: £43.3 million). 
 
Non-Current Asset Investments 
 
The Company invests in financial assets with a view to profiting from their total return through income and capital growth.
These investments are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the investment
policy detailed in the Strategic Report on pages 5 and 6 and information about the portfolio is provided internally on that
basis to the Company's Board of Directors.  Accordingly upon initial recognition the investments are designated by the
Company as "at fair value through profit or loss" in accordance with IAS39 "Financial instruments recognition and
measurement".  They are included initially at fair value, which is taken to be their cost (excluding expenses incidental to
the acquisition which are written off in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and allocated to "capital" at the time of
acquisition).  Subsequently the investments are valued at "fair value" which is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. This is measured as follows: 
 
·      unlisted investments are fair valued by the Directors in accordance with the International Private Equity and
Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines.  Fair value is established by using measurements of value such as price of recent
transactions, discounted cash flows, cost, and initial cost of investment. 
 
·      listed investments are fair valued at bid price on the relevant date. 
 
Where securities are designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss, gains and losses arising
from changes in fair value are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year as capital items in
accordance with the AIC SORP 2014.  The profit or loss on disposal is calculated net of transaction costs of disposal. 
 
Investments are recognised as financial assets on legal completion of the investment contract and are de-recognised on
legal completion of the sale of an investment. 
 
Assets Held for Sale 
 
Current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately and measured at the value expected to be realised on
disposal, which is equivalent to fair value. 
 
Income 
 
Investment income includes interest earned on bank balances and investment loans and includes income tax withheld at
source. Dividend income is shown net of any related tax credit and is brought into account on the ex-dividend date. 
 
Fixed returns on investment loans and debt are recognised on a time apportionment basis so as to reflect the effective
yield, provided there is no reasonable doubt that payment will be received in due course. 
 
Expenses 
 
All expenses are accounted for on the accruals basis. Expenses are charged to revenue with the exception of the investment
management fee, which has been charged 75% to the revenue account and 25% to the capital account (2016: 75% revenue, 25%
capital) to reflect, in the Directors' opinion, the expected long term split of returns in the form of income and capital
gains respectively from the investment portfolio. 
 
The Company's general expenses are split between the share classes using their net asset value divided by the Company's net
asset value. 
 
Taxation 
 
Corporation tax payable is applied to profits chargeable to corporation tax, if any, at the current rate in accordance with
IAS 12 "Income Taxes". The tax effect of different items of income/gain and expenditure/loss is allocated between capital
and revenue on the "marginal" basis as recommended by the AIC SORP 2014. 
 
In accordance with IAS 12, deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method providing for temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation
purposes. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.  Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are
expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the reporting date. The Directors have considered the requirements of IAS 12 and do not believe
that any provision should be made. 
 
Financial Instruments 
 
The Company's principal financial assets are its investments and the accounting policies in relation to those assets are
set out above. 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
entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms
meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions
relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity. 
 
Issued Share Capital 
 
Ordinary Shares, A shares, C Shares, D Shares and E shares are classified as equity because they do not contain an
obligation to transfer cash or another financial asset. Issue costs associated with the allotment of shares have been
deducted from the share premium account in accordance with IAS 32. 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents 
 
Cash and cash equivalents representing cash available at less than 3 months' notice are classified as loans and receivables
under IAS 39. 
 
Reserves 
 
The revenue reserve (retained earnings) and capital reserve reflect the guidance in the AIC SORP 2014. The capital reserve
represents the proportion of Investment Management fees charged against capital and realised/unrealised gains or losses on
the disposal/revaluation of investments. The unrealised capital reserve, share redemption reserve and share premium reserve
are not distributable. The special distributable reserve was created on court cancellation of the share premium account.
The revenue, special distributable and realised capital reserves are distributable by way of dividend. 
 
3.      Segmental Reporting 
 
The Company only has one class of business, being investment activity.  All revenues and assets are generated and held in
the UK.
