INGENIOUS ENTERTAINMENT VCT 2 PLC ("the Company")
STATEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS
For the year ended 31 December 2016
Chairman's Statement
I am delighted to present the Company's ninth Annual Report and
Accounts covering the year to 31 December 2016 (the Reporting
Period).
Overview of Activities
The D Share class reached its five year anniversary on 30 July
2015. The D shares were cancelled and extinguished on January 18
2017 with all residual funds repaid to the relevant
shareholders.
The E and F Share classes reached their five year anniversary on
30 July 2016. The E and F shares were cancelled and extinguished on
January 18 2017; with all residual funds repaid to the relevant
shareholders.
The Company has now completed its investment strategy and is
fully invested under the VCT regulations for its G and H Share
classes. The Manager will focus upon maximising the returns from
the investments.
The Company continued to actively source and review investment
opportunities during this Reporting Period for the H Share class.
The Company made one investment during the Reporting Period.
Details of all investments can be found in the Manager's
Review.
During the Reporting Period two live events were undertaken by
two of the Company's Investee Companies. Brighton Boundary festival
took place on 17 September as part of Fresher's Week in Stamner
Park. Just for London put on Just for Laughs comedy festival for
the week commencing the 14 July in central London.
Fund Raising
The Company raised no further funds during the Reporting
Period.
Results
The D Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares are
accounted for as separate pools of funds necessitating separate
non-statutory reporting.
The Company continues with its core strategy of blending high
levels of downside protection with its attempt to drive positive
returns from the investment portfolio. The Directors and the
Manager have also maintained their prudent approach in the
valuation of investments with the view that it takes at least two
to three years to build brand awareness in the live entertainment
sector. They remain cautiously optimistic about the future
performance and the long term outlook of the Company.
The D Shares made a profit of GBP43,000 (31 December 2015: loss
of GBP153,000). The E Shares made a profit of GBP1,000 (31 December
2015: loss of GBP100,000). The F Shares made a profit of GBP5,000
(31 December 2015: loss of GBP60,000). The G Shares made a loss of
GBP776,000 (31 December 2015: loss of GBP264,000). The H Shares
made a loss of GBP202,000 (31 December 2015: loss of
GBP41,000).
The net asset value per D Share at 31 December 2016 was 1 pence
although this is after the deduction of the dividend of 1.6 pence
per Share in the Reporting Period and the deduction of a total of
80 pence per Share of dividends in previous years (31 December
2015: 2.0 pence). The net asset value as at 31 December 2016
including distributions was therefore 82.6 pence per D Share (31
December 2015: 82.0 pence).
The net asset value per E Share at 31 December 2016 was 1 pence
after the deduction of the dividend of 62.7 pence per Share in the
Reporting Period and the deduction of a total of 20 pence per Share
of dividends in previous years (31 December 2015: 63.7 pence). The
net asset value as at 31 December 2016 including distributions was
therefore 83.7 pence per E Share (31 December 2015: 83.7
pence).
The net asset value per F Share at 31 December 2016 was 1 pence
after the deduction of the dividend of 65.2 pence per Share in the
Reporting Period and the deduction of a total of 20 pence per Share
of dividends in previous years (31 December 2015: 65.9 pence). The
net asset value as at 31 December 2016 including distributions was
therefore 86.2 pence per F Share (31 December 2015: 85.9
pence).
The net asset value per G Share at 31 December 2016 was 40.1
pence after the deduction of the dividend of 5 pence per Share in
the Reporting Period and the deduction of a total of 15 pence per
Share dividends in the previous years (31 December 2015: 67.2
pence). The net asset value as at 31 December 2016 including
distributions was therefore 60.1 pence per G Share (31 December
2015: 82.2 pence).
The net asset value per H Share at 31 December 2016 was 68.8
pence after the deduction of the dividend of 5 pence per Share in
the Reporting Period and the deduction of a 10 pence per Share
dividend in the previous years (31 December 2015: 81.4 pence). The
net asset value as at 31 December 2016 including distributions was
therefore 83.8 pence per H Share (31 December 2015: 91.4
pence).
Legislative and Regulatory Developments
The changes to the VCT rules that were introduced in 2015 have
not had a significant impact on the operation of the Company.
Outlook
Live entertainment continues to appeal to customers as an
experience that is completely unique to the individual. When this
appeal is combined with enjoying the live experience with other
likeminded participants, then it is easy to understand why those
events that can create their own 'niche' will continue to thrive
whatever the economy may throw at them. The portfolio includes
investments other than festivals; such as investments in venues
that are set up to hold live events and therefore take advantage of
different areas of the live events industry.
Investment Objective
The Company's main objective is to invest in companies
established to create and bring to market live events and premium
entertainment content which will provide Shareholders with an
attractive return. This strategy will aim to maximise the
opportunities for making tax-free dividends to Shareholders from
both the actual income received and capital profits on the sale of
investments in Investee Companies or their assets.

Festivals
Brighton Boundary Limited
In May 2016 the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs made an investment
of GBP500,000 into Brighton Boundary Limited to promote a music
festival in Brighton.
The Ingenious Entertainment VCTs joined forces with LWE, SWG
Power Limited (SWG) and Matt Priest to produce, promote and manage
a new music festival called Boundary Brighton to be held in Stamner
Park in Brighton.
The first event was held in September 2016 and formed part of
Freshers' Week for the University of Sussex as well as being aimed
at the local audience in and around Brighton and London. Although
the festival was well-received by the press and public, it did not
sell the required amount of tickets to break-even and it incurred a
loss.
Just For London Limited
In October 2014, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested
GBP1,750,000 into a company to co-promote the Just For Laughs
comedy festival.
The first event was held in July 2016 in Russell Square and
Logan Hall which is part of University College London and although
it was a well-received show by the press and public, it did not
sell the required amount of tickets to break-even. The show made a
significant loss which has been taken into account in the valuation
of the investment.
There is no clear plan in place to stage another event. However,
options are being discussed.
The Zoo Project Festival Limited
In March 2014, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs invested
GBP600,000 into a company to co-promote The Zoo Project
Festival.
Over the course of 2012 and 2013 the festival promoters
established a strong festival brand with a core following and
although it was very well received by the press and public, the
attendance levels were disappointing and the event incurred a loss
in the region of GBP40,000.
The Manager is currently reviewing future options for the
brand.
SWG Power Limited
In November 2015 the Ingenious Entertainment VCT's made an
investment of GBP500,000 into SWG which has been established to
provide power to festivals, live events, conferences and
exhibitions.
SWG has been established to act as a service provider supplying
on-site power to the festival, exhibition, conference and live
event market. SWG will aim to exploit the growing market for
festivals and live events and will look to sign multi-year deals
with events to provide a reliable source of income.
SWG will use a portion of the investment to purchase new power
generation equipment to enable it to tender for a greater number of
power contracts.
During the 'build' of events, the purchased assets will be
brought to the respective event sites to provide power for the
event (e.g. for stage lighting, sound systems and back office) and
to power individual traders and exhibitors working at the event,
for which SWG will receive supplementary income to the tendered
amount with the event promoter.
Revenues will be generated from power supply contracts which
will encompass fees for the supply of power, service fees for staff
operating the equipment and maintaining the equipment on site, and
a mark-up on fuel costs charged to traders on the event site.
Winterville Events Limited
In September 2014, an investment of GBP1,000,000 was made by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into Winterville Events Limited to
promote an annual Christmas based event - Winterville.
The first event took place in Victoria Park in East London and
ran for the duration of December 2014. Winterville hosted indoor
and outdoor activities including an ice rink, a live pantomime
production, a vintage fun fair, themed food stalls, bars selling
craft ales, beer and cider, a roller disco and a spiegeltent
staging both comedy and live music for all age groups.
For the 2015 event, the Ingenious Entertainment VCTs and
partners Marcus Weedon and Darren Guerin joined forces with AEG
Live to utilise AEG's experience in this market (AEG have promoted
four Winter Wonderlands in Hyde Park and a winter season in
Dublin).
Unfortunately, due to the wettest December on record and the
impact of an average event in 2014, the event made a loss which has
been taken into account in the valuation of the investment. The
event was not held in 2016.
Content Exploitation
FM3 2013 Limited
In March 2014, an investment of GBP1,400,000 was made by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into FM3 2013 Limited to film festival
and live event content. The business strategy was to deliver five
core revenue streams through the exploitation of music festival
content, namely commissioned productions, distribution,
advertising, brand activation and online video channel
creation.
Unfortunately, due to several setbacks, relating to the ability
to exploit the proposed revenue streams, the Manager has concluded
that very little value can be extracted from the investment and
recommended the write down of virtually all of the FM3 investment
at this stage. There remains the potential to exploit the proposed
revenue streams in the future but, given the difficulties faced to
date, any possible time frames or quantum of such earnings is
uncertain.
Live Venues
Event Spaces Limited
In December 2014, an investment of GBP1,250,000 was made by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCTs into Event Spaces Limited to promote a
wide range of events to be hosted from a semi-permanent events
structure situated in London.
A large semi-permanent structure was purchased that was situated
on the Pontoon Dock site. However this project was abandoned due to
unresolvable issues with the landowner over the length of time the
site could be leased for. The structure has been sold for a loss
and the directors of Event Spaces Limited decided to reinvest the
capital into a new project called 'Art of the Brick'.
Art of the Brick is a Lego Exhibition based behind the National
Theatre on the Southbank in London with life size imitations of DC
Comic Superheroes which will initially run from February to
September 2017.
Tickets went on sale in December and are currently ahead of
expectations. The break-even point is 183,000 tickets.
A provision has been made for the aborted costs incurred by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCTs in relation to the initial
project.
Counterculture Bars Limited
In September 2015 an investment of GBP500,000 was made by the
Ingenious Entertainment VCT's into Counterculture Bars Limited
(Counterculture) to operate the multi-purpose bar/kitchen and live
venue, 'Haunt' in Stoke Newington with Alexander Brooks.
'Haunt' opened in November 2015 and is a multi-faceted and
vibrant space which serves as a functioning bar and kitchen, and a
multi-purpose event space for promoted, co-promoted and externally
hired activities.
Counterculture had a tough first few months opening too late for
Christmas bookings then suffering the hard months of January and
February. Following this period (apart from August), the operation
steadied and popularity grew in the local community. A decision was
made to cut costs by outsourcing the food function.
Counterculture's most recent accounts show a loss in the region
of GBP125,000. The directors of Counterculture Bars Limited are
currently in discussions to assess the future of the venue. In
addition, the lease has been offered to the market to compare the
value with results of ongoing trading although no serious bids have
been made to date.
Genius Star Limited
In December 2015 an investment by the Ingenious Entertainment
VCTs of GBP750,000 was made into Genius Star Limited to operate a
pub which serves as a multi functioning bar and kitchen with a
function room for promoted, co-promoted and externally hired
activities.
'The Leyton Star' opened in June 2016 and is a multi-faceted and
vibrant space which capitalises on the premises' location and
experience of the partner, Rob Star.
The pub also benefits from a garden area where 9 heated wooded
cabanas were fitted to hold over 100 people as well as a further 75
people outside these areas.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2016
1. Accounting Policies
a) Company Information
Ingenious Entertainment VCT 2 plc (public company limited by
shares) is a venture capitalist trust company domiciled in the
United Kingdom and incorporated in England on 10 October 2007. The
address of the registered office is 15 Golden Square, London, W1F
9JG. Company number: 6395025.
b) Statement of Compliance
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements for the Reporting Period have been
prepared in compliance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and
Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102'), with the Companies Act 2006 and
with the Statement of Recommended Practice entitled "Financial
Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital
Trusts" ('SORP 2014') (with the exception of paragraph 82 of SORP
2014 regarding detailed disclosure of financial and operational
performance of the Company's unquoted investments due to their
confidential nature).
Under FRS102, currently fair value hierarchy is categorised as
'a', 'b' and 'c' rather than '1', '2', '3'. However, the Financial
Reporting Council published amendments on 8 March 2016 which have
been adopted, and early application has been permitted to align
disclosures with IFRS 13.
The comparative figures are for the year 1 January 2015 to 31
December 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis under the historical cost convention, except for the
measurement at fair value for Qualifying and Non-qualifying
Investments. The principal accounting policies have remained
materially unchanged from those set out in the Company's 2015
Annual Report and Accounts.
FRS 102 sections 11 and 12 have been adopted with regards to the
Company's financial instruments.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (GBP).
Key sources of economic uncertainty:
Many of the Company's financial instruments are measured at fair
value in the balance sheet and it is usually possible to determine
their fair values within a reasonable range of estimates.
For the majority of the Company's financial instruments, such as
unlisted securities, fair value is derived from using valuation
techniques, as recommended by International Private Equity and
Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVC). Fair value estimates
are made at a specific point in time, based on market conditions
and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgements (e.g. interest rates, volatility, estimated
cash flows) and therefore cannot be determined with precision.
c) Valuation of Investments
The Company's business is investing in financial assets with a
view to profiting from their total return in the form of income and
capital growth. In accordance with FRS 102 investments by the
Company are held at fair value through profit or loss.
International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation
Guidelines
Unquoted investments, including equity and loan investments, are
stated at fair value through profit or loss and are valued in
accordance with the IPEVC Guidelines and FRS 102. Investments are
initially recognised at cost. The value of investments is
subsequently re-measured to current fair value, as estimated by the
Directors. Gains or losses arising from the revaluation of
investments are taken directly to the Statement of Comprehensive
Income. Fair value is determined as follows:
-- Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length
transaction.
-- In estimating the fair value of an investment, the Manager will apply
a methodology that is appropriate for the nature, facts and
circumstances of the investment and its materiality in the
context of
the total investment portfolio and will use reasonable
assumptions and
estimations.
-- An appropriate methodology incorporates available information about
all factors that are likely to materially affect the fair value
of the
investment. The valuation methodologies are applied consistently
from
period to period, except where a change would result in a
better
estimate of fair value. Any changes in valuation methodologies
will be
clearly disclosed in the financial statements.
The most widely used methodologies are listed below. In
assessing which methodology is appropriate, the Directors are
predisposed towards those methodologies that draw upon market-based
measures of risk and return.
-- Price of recent investment
-- Discounted cash flows/earnings multiple
-- Net assets
-- Available market prices
Of these the methodology most applicable to the Company's
investments is:
Price of recent investment
Where the investment being valued was made recently, its cost
will generally provide a good indication of value. It is generally
considered that this would only apply for a limited period; in
practice a period up to the start of the first live event or
entertainment content which forms the investment is often applied
as the long stop date for such a valuation.
Non-qualifying Investments - OEICs
The Company's Non-qualifying Investments in interest bearing
money market OEICs are valued at fair value which is bid price.
Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of
Qualifying and Non-qualifying Investments are recognised as part of
the capital return within the Statement of Comprehensive Income and
allocated to the realised or unrealised capital reserve as
appropriate. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition or
disposal of investments are charged to capital within the Statement
of Comprehensive Income.
d) Investment Income
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income under the effective interest method.
Under the effective interest method:
The interest income in a period equals the carrying amount of
the loan at the beginning of a period multiplied by the effective
interest rate for that period.
The effective interest rate is the rate required to discount the
expected future income streams over the life of the loan to its
initial carrying amount. The effective interest rate is determined
on the basis of the carrying amount of the loan at initial
recognition.
In accordance with FRS 102, when calculating the effective
interest rate, the Company estimates cash flows considering all
contractual terms of the loans (e.g. prepayments) and known credit
losses that have been incurred, but it does not consider possible
future credit losses not yet incurred. The main impact for the
Company in that regard is the estimation of any loan note
premiums.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company
amortises any related fees, finance charges received, transaction
costs and other premiums or discounts over the expected life of the
loan. However, the Company uses a shorter period if that is the
period to which the fees, finance charges paid or received,
transaction costs, premiums or discounts relate.
The revenue return on loan notes has been based on the coupon
payable by the instrument adjusted to spread any discount or
premium on purchase or redemption over its remaining life. In
accordance with SORP 2014, in 2016 where a redemption premium is
payable, the return has been adjusted so that the amount recognised
in revenue is in line with reasonable commercial expectations. Any
adjustment is recognised in capital within net gains and losses on
investments.
In prior years, the revenue return on the redemption premium was
not adjusted and redemption premiums were recognised as revenue
income. The Company considers the revised allocation, which has not
been applied retrospectively in accordance with SORP 2014, to be
more appropriate to the Company.
The amount of redemption premium recognised in revenue is in
line with reasonable commercial expectations of interest chargeable
on similar commercial loans. Gains and losses arising from changes
in the fair value of the investments are included as a capital item
in the statement of comprehensive income for the relevant
period.
e) Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income once it is declared by the Investee Companies.
f) Expenses
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses
are charged to the revenue account within the Statement of
Comprehensive Income except that:
-- expenses which are incidental to the acquisition or disposal of an
investment are charged to capital in the Statement of
Comprehensive
Income as incurred;
-- expenses are split and presented partly as capital items where a
connection with the maintenance or enhancement of the value of
the
investments held can be demonstrated; and
-- the management fee has been allocated 50% to revenue and 50% to
capital, which represents the split of the Company's long term
returns.
General expenses were paid for by the E Share class until 12
October 2016 and from 13 October 2016 by the H Share class and have
been recharged on a quarterly basis to the other Share classes
based on the proportional net asset value per Share class as at the
last day of the previous quarter.
g) Taxation
Current tax is recognised for the amount of income tax payable
in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting
periods using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences
at the reporting date, except as otherwise indicated. Timing
differences are differences between taxable profits and total
comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that
arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments
in periods different from those in which they are recognised in
financial statements. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to
the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against
the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable
profits.
Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates and laws that
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting
date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing
difference.
h) D Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares
The Company had five Share classes up to 31 December 2016: D
Shares, E Shares, F Shares, G Shares and H Shares. Each Share class
has a separate pool of income and expenses as well as assets and
liabilities attributable to it. All Share classes rank pari passu
with each other in terms of voting and other rights.

As the Company is a VCT its capital gains are not taxable.
At 31 December 2016 the Company had surplus management expenses
of GBP1,211,000 (31 December 2015: GBP1,229, 000). A deferred tax
asset has not been recognised in respect of these surplus
management expenses as the future taxable income of the Company
cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty. Due to the Company's
status as a VCT, and the intention to continue meeting the
conditions required to obtain approval in the foreseeable future,
the Company does not recognise deferred tax on any capital gains or
losses which arise on the revaluation of investments.

14. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The Company's financial instruments comprise equity and floating
rate debt investments in unquoted companies, cash balances and
listed money market OEICs. The Company holds financial assets in
accordance with its investment policy.
Fixed asset investments (see note 7) are valued at fair value.
For quoted securities included in current asset Non-qualifying
Investments, this is bid price. In respect of unquoted investments,
these are fair valued in accordance with the International Private
Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines. The fair value of
all other financial assets and liabilities is represented by their
carrying value on the Balance Sheet.
Fair Value Hierarchy
2016 2015
GBP'000 GBP'000
Listed money market OEICs (note 10) Level 1 - 1,035
Investment in investee companies (note 10) Level 3 214 3
Unquoted investments (note 8) Level 3 2,606 5,332
2,820 6,370
Level 3 investments include a GBP95,500 revaluation loss on Just
for London Limited, a GBP50,000 revaluation loss on Counterculture
Bars Limited, a GBP15,000 revaluation loss on Event Spaces Limited
during the year, and a GBP20,750 revaluation loss on Zoo Project
Limited and a GBP665,000 revaluation loss on FM3 2013 Limited
during the year.
The above table provides an analysis of these investments based
on the fair value hierarchy described below which reflects the
reliability and significance of the information used to measure
their fair value:
-- Level 1 - investments with quoted prices in active markets;
-- Level 2 - investments whose fair value is based directly on observable
market prices or is indirectly drawn from observable market
prices; and
-- Level 3 - investments whose fair value is determined using a valuation
technique based on assumptions that are not supported by
observable
current market prices or are not based on observable market
data.
Level 3 unquoted investments have been valued at fair value.
Fair
value is estimated by assessing the financial performance of
the
Company's investee and adjusting upwards or writing down the
cost of
the Company's investment using IVCA valuation techniques as
described
in note 1(c) - Accounting Policies.
Risk Management
The Company's investing activities expose it to various types of
risk that are associated with the financial instruments and markets
in which it invests. The Company measures risk by assessing the
impact that each risk parameter will have on the profitability of
the Company, or in the case of liquidity risk, by assessing the
impact that any given factor will reduce the likelihood of the
Company being able to meet its financial liabilities as they fall
due. The most important types of financial risk to which the
Company is exposed are:
-- Market risk;
-- Interest rate risk;
-- Credit risk; and
-- Liquidity risk.
The nature and extent of the financial instruments outstanding
at the Balance Sheet date and the risk management policies employed
by the Company are discussed below:
a) Market Risk
Market risk embodies the potential for both losses and gains and
includes credit risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
The Company's strategy on the management of investment risk is
driven by the Company's investment objective. Investments in
unquoted companies, by their nature, involve a higher degree of
risk than investments in larger "blue chip" companies.
The risk of loss in value is managed through careful selection
in accordance with a formalised investment decision process, with
each investment proposal evaluated by the Investment Committee as
part of the due diligence stage.
The risk is also managed through continuous monitoring of the
performance of investments and changes in their risk profile.
b) Interest Rate Risk
Some of the Company's financial assets are interest bearing, all
of which are at floating rates. As a result, the Company is subject
to exposure to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the
prevailing levels of market interest rate.
When the Company retains cash balances, the majority of cash is
held within interest bearing money market OEICs. At the end of the
year all cash had been removed from the money market OEICs (31
December 2015: GBP1,038,000). Sitting within Non qualifying
Investments are two unquoted investments. The benchmark rate which
determines the interest payments received on interest bearing cash
balances and debt investments in unquoted companies is the bank
base rate which was 0.25% as at 31 December 2016 (31 December 2015:
0.5%).
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the impact on
profit for the year before taxation and total equity to a change in
interest rates of 50 basis points, with effect from the beginning
of the year. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible
based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations
are based on the Company's Non-qualifying Investments held at each
Balance Sheet date. All other variables are held constant.

GBP'000 GBP'000
+/- 50 basis points +/- 50 basis points
Impact on loss 0 5
for the year
before taxation and
total equity
c) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial
instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that
it has entered into with the Company.
Whilst the Company is exposed to credit risk due to its
GBP987,500 (31 December 2015: GBP2,488,000) unsecured loan note
instruments, this risk is mitigated by the Company requiring that
minimum royalty arrangements are in place prior to the investment
as set out in the Company's investment policy. In addition, and in
accordance with the Company's monitoring procedure, the Manager
closely monitors progress (including financial expenditure) against
the Investee Companies' agreed business plans.
The GBP987,500 (31 December 2015: GBP2,488,000) unsecured loan
notes are mostly the contractually agreed 70% of initial
investments.
d) Liquidity Risk
The Company's financial instruments include equity and debt
investments in unquoted companies, which are not traded in an
organised public market and which generally may be illiquid. As a
result, the Company may not be able to liquidate quickly some of
its investment in these instruments at an amount close to fair
value.
The Company maintains sufficient reserves of cash and readily
realisable marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements
at all times. No numerical disclosures have been provided in
respect of liquidity risk as this is not considered to be
material.
15. Related Party Transactions
a) The Company has an investment management agreement with
Ingenious Capital Management Limited of which Patrick Mckenna is a

be entered into between Event Spaces Limited and the same third
parties. Paul Gregg is a director and shareholder of Kuma

Kuma Entertainment Limited on 1 November 2006.
