Capital gains and losses are exempt from corporation tax due to the Company's status as a Venture Capital Trust. 
 
9.      Earnings/(loss) per Share 
 
Earnings per Ordinary Share is 2.05p (2016: 3.64p) based on the profit after tax of £398,000 (2016: £708,000) and on the
weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of 19,463,120 (2016:19,474,787). 
 
Earnings per A Share is 1.18p (2016: loss 0.72p) based on the profit after tax of £61,000 (2016: loss £38,000) and on the
weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of 5,131,353 (2016: 5,131,353). 
 
Earnings per C Share are 6.46p (2016: 5.27p) based on the profit after tax of £868,000 (2016: £709,000) and on the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the period of 13,441,438 (2016: 13,441,438). 
 
Earnings per D Share are 3.93p (2016: 2.19p) based on the profit after tax of £538,000 (2016: £292,000) and on the weighted
average number of shares in issue during the period of 13,701,636 (2016: 13,325,044). 
 
There were no changes to the number of shares in issue during the year therefore the weighted average number of shares in
issue during the year for all share classes is equal to the number of shares at 31 March 2017. 
 
There are no potentially dilutive capital instruments in issue and, therefore, no diluted return per share figures are
included in these Financial Statements.

10.     Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss 
 
Investments 
 
Fair Value Hierarchy: 
 
Level 1: quoted prices on active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of financial instruments
traded on active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active where
the market in which transactions for the asset or liability takes place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide
pricing information on an ongoing basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the
current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. 
 
Level 2: the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded on active markets is determined by using valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable inputs including market data where it is available
either directly or indirectly and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs
required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 
 
Level 3: the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded on an active market (for example, investments in
unquoted companies) is determined by using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. If one or more of the
significant inputs is based on unobservable inputs including market data, the instrument is included in level 3. 
 
There have been no transfers between these classifications in the period. Any change in fair value is recognised through
the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 
 
Further details of these investments are provided in the Investment Manager's Review and Investment Portfolio. 
 
The Company's Investment Manager performs valuations of financial items for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3
fair values. Valuation techniques are selected based on the characteristics of each instrument, with the overall objective
of maximising the use of market-based information. 
 
Level 3 valuations include assumptions based on non-observable data with the majority of investments being valued on
discounted cash flows or price of recent transactions. 
 
 Valuation techniques and unobservable inputs:

Consideration has been given whether the effect of changing one or more inputs to reasonably possible alternative
assumptions would result in a significant change to the fair value measurement. Each unquoted portfolio company has been
reviewed in order to identify the sensitivity of the valuation methodology to using alternative assumptions. 
 
Where discount rates have been applied to the unquoted investments, alternative discount rates have been considered. Two
alternative scenarios for each investment have been modelled, a more prudent assumption (downside case) and a more
optimistic assumption (upside case). Applying the downside alternative, the aggregate change in value of the unquoted
investments would be £1.3 million or 5.9 per cent lower. Using the upside alternative the aggregate value of the unquoted
investments would be £1.9 million or 8.6 per cent higher. 
 
Movements in investments held at fair value through the profit or loss during the year to 31 March 2017 were as follows:

All investments are designated as fair value through the profit or loss at the time of acquisition and all capital gains or
losses arising on investments are so designated. Given the nature of the Company's venture capital investments, the changes
in fair values of such investments recognised in these Financial Statements are not considered to be readily convertible to
cash in full at the balance sheet date and accordingly any gains or losses on these items are treated as unrealised.

Fixed Asset Investments (see note 10 and note 11) are valued at fair value. Unquoted investments are carried at fair value
as determined by the Directors in accordance with current venture capital industry guidelines. The fair value of all other
financial assets and liabilities is represented by their carrying value in the balance sheet. The Directors believe that
where an investee company's enterprise value, which is equivalent to fair value, remains unchanged since acquisition, that
investment should continue to be held at cost less any loan repayments received. Where they consider the investee company's
enterprise value has changed since acquisition, that should be reflected by the investment being held at a value measured
using a discounted cash flow model. 
 
In carrying out its investment activities, the Company is exposed to various types of risk associated with the financial
instruments and markets in which it invests. The Company's approach to managing its risks is set out below together with a
description of the nature of the financial instruments held at the balance sheet date: 
 
Market Risk 
 
The Company's VCT qualifying investments are held in small and medium-sized unquoted companies which, by their nature,
entail a higher level of risk and lower liquidity than investments in large quoted companies. The Directors and Investment
Manager aim to limit the risk attached to the portfolio as a whole by careful selection and timely realisation of
investments by carrying out rigorous due diligence procedures and by maintaining a spread of holdings in terms of industry
sector and geographical location. The Board reviews the investment portfolio with the Investment Manager on a regular
basis. Details of the Company's investment portfolio at the balance sheet date are set out on pages 17 to 23. 
 
An increase of 1% in the value of investments would increase the capital profits for the period and the net asset value at
31 March 2017 by £407,000. A decrease of 1% would reduce the capital profits and net asset value by the same amount. A
movement of 1% is used as a multiple to demonstrate the impact of varying changes on the capital profits and net asset
value of the Company. 
 
Interest Rate Risk 
 
Some of the Company's financial assets are interest bearing, of which some are at fixed rates and some at variable rates.
As a result, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market
interest rates. 
 
Investments made into VCT qualifying holdings are part equity and part loan. The loan element of investments totals
£18,949,000 (2016: £19,252,000) and is subject to fixed interest rates for the five year loan terms and as a result there
is no cashflow interest rate risk. As the loans are held in conjunction with equity and are valued in combination as part
of the enterprise value, fair value risk is considered part of market risk. 
 
The amounts held in variable rate investments at the balance sheet date are as follows: 
 
                  31 March 2017  31 March 2016  
                  £'000          £'000          
 Cash on deposit  2,534          1,032          
                  2,534          1,032          
                                                
 
 
An increase in interest rates of 1% per annum would not have a material effect either on the revenue for the year or the
net asset value at 31 March 2017. The Board believes that in the current economic climate a movement of 1% is a reasonable
illustration. 
 
Credit Risk 
 
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into
with the Company. The Investment Manager and the Board carry out a regular review of counterparty risk. The carrying value
of the financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure at the balance sheet date. 
 
                                  31 March 2017  31 March 2016  
                                  £'000          £'000          
                                                                
 Qualifying Investment loans      18,949         19,252         
 Non Qualifying Investment loans  8,220          9,352          
 Cash on deposit                  2,534          1,032          
 Receivables                      1,720          1,180          
                                  31,423         30,816         
 
 
The Company's bank accounts are maintained with The Royal Bank of Scotland plc ("RBS") whose credit quality and financial
position are monitored by the Investment Manager. 
 
Credit risk arising on unquoted loan stock held within unlisted investments is considered to be part of market risk as
disclosed above. 
 
Foreign Currency Risk 
 
The Company does not have exposure to material foreign currency risks. 
 
Liquidity Risk 
 
The Company's financial assets include investments in unquoted equity securities which are not traded on a recognised stock
exchange and which are illiquid. As a result the Company may not be able to realise some of its investments in these
instruments quickly at an amount close to their fair value in order to meet its liquidity requirements. 
 
The Company's liquidity risk is managed on a continuing basis by the Investment Manager in accordance with policies and
procedures laid down by the Board. The Company's overall liquidity risks are monitored by the Board on a quarterly basis. 
 
The Board maintains a liquidity management policy where cash and future cash flows from operating activities will be
sufficient to pay expenses. At 31 March 2017 cash amounted to £2,534,000 (2016: £1,032,000). 
 
17.    Net Asset Value per Share 
 
The net asset value per Ordinary Share is 69.74p (2016: 67.69p) and is based on Net Assets of £13,573,000 (2016:
£13,175,000) divided by the 19,463,120 (2016: 19,463,120) Ordinary Shares in issue. 
 
The net asset value per A Ordinary Share is 42.46p (2016: 41.28p) and is based on Net Assets of £2,179,000 (2016:
£2,118,000) divided by the 5,131,353 (2016: 5,131,353) A Ordinary Shares in issue. 
 
The net asset value per C Ordinary Share is 106.49p (2016: 105.03p) and is based on Net Assets of £14,314,000 (2016:
£14,118,000) divided by the 13,441,438 (2016: 13,441,438) C Ordinary Shares in issue. 
 
The net asset value per D Ordinary Share is 105.19p (2016: 101.26p) and is based on Net Assets of £14,413,000 (2016:
£13,875,000) divided by the 13,701,636 (2016: 13,701,636) D Ordinary Shares in issue. 
 
18.    Commitments and Contingencies 
 
The Company has no outstanding commitments or contingent liabilities. 
 
19.    Relationship with Investment Manager 
 
During the period, TPIM received £864,459 which has been expensed (2016: £790,444) for providing management and
administrative services to the Company. At 31 March 2017 £220,315 was owing to TPIM (2016: £278,385). 
 
20.    Related Party Transactions 
 
The Directors' Remuneration Report on pages 34 to 36 discloses the Directors remuneration and shareholdings. 
 
21.    Post Balance Sheet Events 
 
During the year the Company's shareholders approved proposals for a new E Share Class offer.  At the year end no shares had
been issued. The Offer closed on 15 May 2017 raising £30 million with a total of 28,949,575 E Shares being issued. 
 
22.    Dividends 
 
The Company paid its first dividend to C Class Shareholders of £672,072 equal to 5p per share on 8 July 2016. 
 
The Board has resolved to pay a dividend to Ordinary Class Shareholders of £1,459,734 equal to 7.5p per share which will
