   CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
   I am pleased to present the Company's half-yearly report for the period 
ended 28 February 2013. During the six months, the Manager has continued 
to make progress in rebalancing the investment portfolio and I can 
report a small increase in net asset value. 
 
   Investment activity and performance 
 
   At the period end, the Company held approximately 71% of its funds in 
quoted investments compared to 74% at 31 August 2012 and 87% at 29 
February 2012. 
 
   The Manager made full or partial disposals of 14 holdings, raising 
GBP1.5 million of proceeds and realising gains of GBP248,000. GBP1.0 
million of the proceeds has been reinvested in four new and two 
follow-on investments, three of which are unquoted. 
 
   Over the period, the overall performance of the quoted investments, 
supported by a buoyant market, was positive, with gains outweighing 
falls by GBP472,000. Avacta Group, Angle, Anpario and Craneware were 
particularly strong performers. 
 
   In respect of the unquoted investments, Locale Enterprises Limited and 
London Italian Restaurants Limited have been marked down by GBP113,000 
and GBP109,000 respectively, due to weak results and the generally 
difficult trading conditions. 
 
   Further details of the investment activities of the Company are in the 
Investment Manager's Report. 
 
   Net asset value, results and dividend 
 
   As at 28 February 2013, the Company's Net Asset Value ("NAV") stood at 
33.6p per share, an increase of 1.6p per share (4.7%) compared to the 
position at 31 August 2012 after adjusting for the dividend of 2.0p per 
share paid in the period. 
 
   The return on ordinary activities after taxation for the period recorded 
in the Income Statement was GBP440,000, comprising a revenue loss of 
GBP16,000 and a capital gain of GBP456,000. 
 
   The Company paid a final dividend of 2.0p on 15 February 2013 to 
Shareholders on the register at 18 January 2013. In line with the 
Company's normal policy, no interim dividend will be paid. 
 
   Share Realisation and Reinvestment Programme 
 
   As Shareholders will be aware, the Company launched a Share Realisation 
and Reinvestment Programme ("SRRP") in December. This completed shortly 
after the period end and was well received by investors with 8,255,759 
shares being tendered. The shares were purchased on 21 March 2013 at 
33.5p per share and the proceeds reinvested in new shares issued at 
approximately 34.5p per share. A further GBP82,000 was received in 
respect of the top-up share offer that was launched alongside the SRRP, 
with shares being issued on the 21 March 2013 at the same price. 
 
   Share buyback policy 
 
   Historically, the Company has made market purchases of its shares from 
time to time when they become available in the market. Such purchases 
have not been undertaken at any fixed discount to NAV and, consequently, 
the Company's shares have tended to trade at a large discount to NAV. 
 
   Since the change of Manager last year, the Company has been working 
towards the introduction of a policy whereby the Company will usually 
purchase shares at a standard discount to NAV. Subject to liquidity 
within the funds, close periods and other regulatory restrictions, the 
Company intends to buy in shares as they become available in the market 
at a 20% discount to NAV. The Board will review this discount level 
regularly and will consider reducing it should liquidity and market 
considerations allow. 
 
   Shareholders who wish to sell their shares will need to do so through a 
stockbroker and are recommended to contact Downing prior to selling. 
Downing is able to provide details of the prices at which the Company is 
expecting to buy in shares and of close periods when the Company may be 
prohibited from making purchases. 
 
   Outlook 
 
   The Board is pleased with progress made by the Manager in refocusing the 
portfolio and believes that the prospects for the Company are improving. 
Further work on the portfolio will continue over the remainder of the 
year. 
 
   As I have noted previously, the Company is now becoming relatively small 
for a VCT and there is a risk of running costs becoming 
disproportionately high. The Board is continuing to explore options with 
the Manager for the longer term future of the Company which include 
future fundraising and/or a possible merger. I will update Shareholders 
when there are any major developments.

   INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT 
 
   At 28 February 2013, the Company's venture capital portfolio was valued 
at GBP9.1 million. 
 
   Investment activity 
 
   Consistent with the strategy outlined in the Annual Report and Accounts, 
we have been implementing an investment focus that concentrates on a 
smaller pool of AIM investments that fully fit our investment criteria 
while broadening our scope to include unquoted investments. It is 
challenging to drive performance from a large number of small holdings, 
as has been typical of the portfolio of the Fund. Our top ten 
investments now account for 48.9% of the total value of the portfolio, 
significantly higher than a year ago. We have been carefully disposing 
of those investments that do not meet our strict investment criteria; 
however, we have not been hasty in doing so - seeking to achieve the 
best possible prices and valuations for these companies. 
 
   During the period, three new unquoted investments were made at a total 
cost of GBP626,000 and four quoted investments were made at a total cost 
of GBP380,000. 
 
   An overview of the new investments is as follows: 
 
   A qualifying investment of GBP137,000 was made in Mosaic Spa and Health 
Clubs Limited, a management company which trades under the name of 
Fitness Express. The company currently has approximately 30 management 
contracts to provide gym and spa management to hotels, universities and 
corporate clients and owns a freehold health club known as Welti near 
Shrewsbury. In October 2012, a second freehold club in Hereford, Holmer 
Park, was purchased by the company. 
 
   In October 2012, a qualifying investment of GBP189,000 was made in Oak 
Grove Renewables Limited, which is developing a 2MW biogas plant in 
Norfolk. The plant will produce biogas through an anaerobic digestion 
process which is then used to generate electricity. The company will 
benefit from the receipt of Feed-in Tariffs for electricity generation 
and for electricity exported to the National Grid. 
 
   GBP300,000 was also invested in a non-qualifying opportunity, 
Southampton Hotel Developments Limited. The company is developing a 
hotel at the Aegeas Bowl, the home of Hampshire Cricket Club. 
 
   A further (non-qualifying) quoted investment of GBP176,000 was made in 
AIM company Universe Group plc, which is one of Europe's largest 
providers of loyalty payment and forecourt technology. The Company also 
invested GBP40,000 in loan notes which strengthens shareholder rights. 
These investments complement the existing qualifying equity investment 
and are consistent with the Company's strategy to take larger holdings 
in fewer companies where the Manager believes there is significant 
value. In total, Downing funds now hold 18.1% of Universe Group's equity 
share. 
 
   A small (non-qualifying) position of GBP84,000 was taken in China Food 
Group plc which is a manufacturer and distributor of soy sauce and 
condiments in Northern China. We believe that this investment has been 
made at a significant discount to the intrinsic value of China Food 
Group plc. 
 
   A number of realisations were undertaken during the period, reducing the 
exposure to those investments where the longer term prospects were not 
attractive. Disposal proceeds received thereon were GBP1.46 million. 
This represented a realised gain of GBP248,000 in the interim period but 
an overall loss against cost of GBP953,000. 
 
   Investment performance 
 
   Overall, the portfolio increased in value by GBP250,000 over the period, 
of which GBP472,000 is attributable to an increase in value of quoted 
and PLUS market investments, offset by a GBP222,000 fall in value of the 
unquoted holdings. 
 
   Unquoted investments 
 
   Locale Enterprises Limited owns and operates a number of restaurants in 
and around central London and has seen sales adversely affected by 
declining consumer spending. As a result, a cautionary GBP113,000 
reduction in value has been recognised. 
 
   The investment in London Italian Restaurants has also been marked down 
by GBP109,000, as a result of continued weak trading at the company's 
restaurants. 
 
   Quoted investments 
 
   In the period, there was a positive contribution from a number of the 
top holdings within the portfolio. 
 
   Angle plc, the holding company for a number of innovative medical 
technology companies, announced the proposed launch of Parsortix, a 
non-invasive cancer diagnostic. This led to a gain for the Company of 
GBP127,000 in the period. 
 
   Meanwhile, Anpario plc, the manufacturer and distributor of animal feed 
additives, saw its share price appreciate on the back of a positive 
trading statement and this led to a gain for the Company in the period 
of GBP113,000. 
 
   Craneware plc, the provider of software and solutions to the US 
healthcare and billing market, saw a recovery in its share price after a 
positive trading statement, leading to a gain of GBP108,000 in the 
period for the Company. 
 
   Vianet Group plc, the provider of real time monitoring systems and data 
management solutions for the retail forecourt market, saw its share 
price decline on the back of a cautious trading update, leading to an 
unrealised fall of GBP47,000 in the period for the Company. We still 
continue to believe that the Vianet solution is unique and has a market 
leading position in the sector which is not fully reflected in the share 
price. 
 
   Other notable movements outside of the top performing investments were 
as follows: 
 
   Avacta plc, a leading provider of proprietary and diagnostic technology 
consumables and reagents to the drug delivery and healthcare sector, saw 
continued growth in unit sales for the optium analytical product, albeit 
from a low base. The continued strength of the animal diagnostic 
business was reiterated in a trading update in February and this 
contributed to a gain for the Company of GBP145,000 in the period. 
 
   The investment in Corero Network Security plc, the provider of network 
and business software solutions, fell by GBP71,000 following news of 
continued losses. 
 
   Plethora Solutions plc, the speciality pharmaceutical company dedicated 
to the development and marketing of products for the treatment of 
urological disorders, put one of its subsidiaries into administration 
and will now focus on its core product, a treatment for premature 
ejaculation, which is seeking European approvals. This negative news led 
to a loss for the Company in the period of GBP89,000. 
 
   Outlook 
 
   Overall, the investment portfolio has experienced an encouraging six 
months, with modest improvements in the trading outlook of the largest 
holdings, while new quoted holdings introduced to the Company have begun 
to demonstrate early signs of performance. The change in the emphasis of 
the fund into a blend of unquoted and quoted holdings has made continued 
progress. Although some yielding unquoted assets have already been 
introduced to the portfolio in the interim period, we anticipate that 
this momentum will continue in the second half of year.

   11. 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 August 2012 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. 
 
   12. Going concern 
 
   The Directors have reviewed the Company's financial resources at the 
period end and concluded that the Company is well placed to manage its 
business risks. 
 
   The Directors confirm that they are satisfied that the Company has 
adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. 
For this reason, the Directors believe that the Company continues to be 
a going concern and that it is appropriate to apply the going concern 
basis in preparing the financial statements. 
 
   13. Risks and uncertainties 
 
   Under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Board is required, in 
the Company's half-year 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 are: 
 
   (i) compliance risk of failure to maintain approval as a VCT; and 
 
   (ii) investment risk associated with investing in small and immature 
businesses. 
 
   The Company's compliance with the VCT regulations is continually 
monitored by the Manager, who regularly reports to the Board on the 
current position. The Company also retains PricewaterhouseCoopers to 
provide regular reviews and advice in this area. 
 
   In order to make VCT qualifying investments, the Company has to invest 
in small businesses which are often immature. It also has a limited 
period in which it must invest the majority of its funds into VCT 
qualifying investments. The Manager follows a rigorous process in 
vetting and careful structuring of new investments, including taking a 
charge over the assets of the business wherever possible and, after an 
investment is made, closely monitoring the business. 
 
   The Board is satisfied that these approaches provide satisfactory 
management of the key risks. 
 
   14. The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the half 
yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with the 
"Statement: Half-Yearly Financial Reports" issued by the UK Accounting 
Standards Board 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 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 during 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. 
 
   15. Copies of the unaudited half-yearly financial results will be sent 
to Shareholders shortly. Further copies can be obtained from the 
Company's Registered Office and will be available for download from
