Maven Income and Growth VCT 6 PLC
Interim Announcement for the six months ended 30 September 2016
(unaudited)
The Directors announce the unaudited Interim Management Report
for the six months ended 30 September 2016.
Highlights
-- NAV total return of 61.94p per share at 30 September 2016,
compared to 61.81p at 31 March 2016
-- NAV at 30 September 2016 of 59.09p per share after payment of the final dividend of 0.25p
-- Offer for Subscription closed, having raised GBP12.9 million
-- Further Offer for Subscription announced on 23 September 2016
-- New investments completed in The GP Service (UK) and Rockar
-- Large pipeline of new VCT rules qualifying private equity
investments, with a number in advanced process
Overview
In the period under review NAV total return increased to 61.94p
per share. This is in line with your Company's continuing objective
of achieving long term capital appreciation whilst also generating
maintainable levels of income for Shareholders.
The success of the Offer for Subscription, which closed on 30
June 2016 and raised a total of GBP12.9 million, has transformed
the scale and capital structure of the Company. Net assets have
increased to GBP16.5 million, providing a solid foundation to
support new investments and provide follow-on funding to existing
portfolio companies which meet the revised VCT qualification
criteria.
The portfolio now extends to 50 unlisted and AIM quoted company
holdings, many of which are paying a regular yield, offering a
combination of revenue and capital returns with the aim of
underpinning Shareholder value in the years ahead. During the
reporting period Maven completed new investments in The GP Service
(UK) and Rockar and your Board is encouraged by the pipeline of VCT
qualifying opportunities identified by the Manager. A number of
potential new transactions are at an advanced stage and an
investment in Chic Lifestyle completed shortly after the period
end.
During the period under review Maven has focused on the
practical implementation of the new VCT rules, which were enacted
in November 2015 and detailed in the latest Annual Report. The
revised legislation brings the UK VCT scheme into line with
European Union (EU) State Aid Rules for smaller company investment
and imposes a number of restrictions on the types of transactions
and companies in which VCTs are able to invest. The rules
specifically prohibit participation in management buy-outs or
acquisitions, and limit the ability to support older companies
unless certain criteria are met. Whilst this means that your
Company can no longer finance certain transactions, Maven has a
long established history of investing development capital in
companies which meet the revised VCT qualification criteria.
Share Capital, Distributable Reserves and Dividends
As detailed in the 2016 Annual Report, the proposed
restructuring of the share capital of the Company was approved by
Shareholders at the General Meeting held on 17 February 2016. This
enabled your Company to create a capital redemption reserve and
increase its share premium account which, subject to the sanction
of the Court, could be cancelled to create additional distributable
reserves to support the payment of dividends and a share buy-back
programme.
Subsequent to the closure of the Offer for Subscription on 1
July 2016, the Company applied to the Court for the cancellation of
the amounts standing in respect of the share premium account and
the capital redemption reserve. A court order in relation to the
cancellation of the Company's share premium account and capital
redemption reserve was granted and registered at Companies House on
24 August 2016, with the resulting changes to the reserves being
reflected in the Financial Statements as at 30 September 2016
incorporated in this Interim Report.
The Board has not declared an interim dividend but, subject to
the generation of capital gains from any further disposals and the
availability of surplus revenue, intends to propose a final
dividend when it considers the results for the full year to 31
March 2017. Discussions are in progress regarding potential exits
from a number of portfolio companies, although there can be no
certainty that these discussions will lead to profitable sales.
On 24 August 2015 the Board announced that, under the Terms and
Conditions of the Company's Dividend Investment Scheme (DIS), the
Directors had resolved that, in light of the investment
restrictions proposed in the Government's July 2015 Budget, the DIS
was to be suspended with immediate effect. As a result, until
further notice, all future dividends will be paid to Shareholders
by either cheque or direct bank transfer using existing mandate
instructions.
Portfolio Developments
The private equity portfolio has generally performed well, with
positive trading results having led to valuation uplifts for a
number of companies operating across a range of sectors. The Board
has, however, elected to take provisions against the values of
certain investments in businesses with an exposure to the oil &
gas sector.
Nenplas, a manufacturer and distributor of plastic extrusions
for a variety of applications, has continued to perform ahead of
plan due to operational efficiencies achieved through the
integration of Polyplas, increased sales volumes, lower raw
material costs and favourable market conditions, particularly
within the leisure and mobile home sectors. The company has repaid
all of its senior debt and has been a highly cash generative and
valuable portfolio asset.
Cursor Controls, a global leader in the design and niche
manufacture of trackball pointing solutions for industrial
applications, has performed well since Maven clients invested in
July 2015. The business delivered impressive organic growth in the
year to 31 December 2015 and is forecast to build on this in the
current year. In April 2016 Cursor completed the acquisition of a
Belgian distributor, which is expected to be significantly earnings
enhancing.
The year to 31 December 2015 was another excellent trading
period for John McGavigan, a manufacturer and supplier of technical
plastic components and interior parts for the global automotive
industry. This positive momentum has been sustained through the
current year, with the operations in both China and Scotland
delivering a good level of organic growth and a significant
increase in profitability, assisted by a number of productivity
improvement projects implemented earlier in the year. The order
book remains strong and the cash position is secure, providing
increased visibility of the future prospects for the business.
Crawford Scientific, a leading supplier of chromatography
products and services, has traded ahead of plan since Maven
clients' initial investment in August 2014. During 2015 the
business acquired and successfully integrated analytical services
company Hall Analytical Laboratories which, alongside strong
trading within the core Crawford business, has contributed to
out-performance against the original investment case. The business
has fully repaid the debt used to fund the Hall acquisition and the
management team is continuing to widen each of Crawford's service
and product lines, with organic growth forecast to lead to
increased turnover and earnings in the current year.
Torridon (Gibraltar) is an established general insurer, which
trades through its subsidiary Elite Insurance. The business is
registered in Gibraltar and is authorised to write 12 general
insurance business classes in 14 EU/EEA States. Elite has delivered
impressive growth over recent years and, as a result, now has 30
lines of insurance, with the UK business representing 62% of total
sales. Elite focuses on high margin niche lines, requiring
considerable expertise and underwriting skills, as well as holding
strong distribution relationships.
The UK's largest provider of promotional merchandise, SPS (EU),
has experienced excellent growth under private ownership since
Maven clients invested in February 2014. Operational improvements
have enhanced profitability, whilst organic growth has been
supplemented through two complementary acquisitions, High Profile
Plastic and TEC, both of which were completed in the year to 31
December 2015. The business is forecasting further growth in the
current financial year and operational efficiencies, as a result of
the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning
system.
DPP provides mechanical and electrical maintenance and
installation services mainly to the leisure, hospitality and retail
sectors in the south of England and Wales. The company
differentiates itself from competitors by employing a large and
highly responsive team of skilled engineers. Following the loss of
a significant customer in 2014, the company restructured its
operations and has now secured a number of new contracts, allowing
the business to materially improve its trading performance over the
past twelve months.
Maven clients first invested in Just Trays, the UK's leading
manufacturer of shower trays and related accessories, in June 2014.
Subsequently, the business has increased its customer base and
extended its product range, with a number of innovative new
products to be launched in the current financial year. Just Trays
repaid its bank debt in full during 2015 and is planning to invest
in automation in the coming year, which should help improve the
production facility and increase operating margins.
Your Board and the Manager continue to be mindful of the
possible effects of the enduring low oil price on those companies
that operate in the oil & gas market. The Manager has worked
closely with these companies as they have implemented overhead
reduction programmes, targeted at reducing the cost base and
closing non-core operations with a view to conserving cash and
positioning the businesses for recovery. Whilst the oil price has
recovered from the lows witnessed earlier in the year, budgets
remain conservative across the energy services sector, based on the
expectation that the remainder of 2016 will be challenging, with
recovery starting to feed through in the second half of 2017 as the
oil price stabilises and the pent up demand for essential
maintenance and repair work is released. In response to these
market conditions, the valuations of Glacier Energy Services and
HCS Control Systems Group have been reduced to cost. The Board and
the Manager believe that the valuations of the remaining portfolio
assets with exposure to the energy services sector are fair and
reasonable and, following a number of profitable realisations in
prior reporting periods, your Company's exposure to this sector has
significantly reduced. The remaining assets are focused on the
operational expenditure segment of the industry, rather than being
dependent on large capital expenditure programmes or exploration
projects.
New Investments
During the period, two new private company assets were added to
the portfolio:
-- The GP Service (UK) is a provider of on-line services for
general medical consultations and prescriptions, delivered through
a web-based platform. The investment will enable The GP Service to
accelerate the roll-out of its service across new geographic
locations and to develop a range of products and services where
there are strong market drivers.
-- Rockar is an innovative motor retailer with a disruptive
technology platform led by a team with extensive sector experience.
The investment will enable Rockar to enhance its product offering
and finance new dealerships in high foot-fall shopping centres,
working in partnership with leading global automotive brands
including Hyundai and Jaguar Land Rover. Maven clients invested in
Rockar alongside NVM Private Equity.
Further changes to the rules, announced in the March 2016 budget
statement, imposed restrictions on the ability of VCTs to make
certain new non-qualifying investments, for liquidity purposes
including treasury bills and other government securities. In
response to these changes, the Directors agreed to invest a total
of GBP440,000 across five private equity investment trusts (PEITs).
This represents a permitted investment under the amended
legislation and gives your Company further exposure to an asset
class that the Manager is familiar with, having knowledge of the
respective portfolios and fund managers. The PEITs have been
carefully selected and recommended by Maven and have income
characteristics that will help support future dividend payments by
your Company. There is also a prospect that the PEIT sector may be
re-rated following recent acquisition activity, including the
successful HarbourVest Partners bid for SVG Capital, creating the
potential for capital gains to be achieved over the longer
term.
More generally, the Board is highly cognisant of the importance
of maintaining an effective liquidity management policy and the
Directors are currently reviewing a range of income generating
options with a view to maximising the returns from monies held
prior to investment.

Realisations
During the period Crawford Scientific and DPP made partial
repayments of loan notes and a final distribution was received from
Kelvinlea.
Subsequent to the period end, the Manager has been engaged with
several investee companies and prospective acquirers at various
stages of a potential exit process.
This realisation activity reflects the increasing maturity of a
number of holdings, but it should be noted that there can be no
certainty that these discussions will lead to profitable exits.

Material Developments Since the Period End
Since 30 September 2016, one new private company asset has been
added to the portfolio. In October 2016, your Company completed the
investment in Chic Lifestyle, an inventory management platform for
the travel market, which allows small-scale independent operators
to control the live distribution of boutique hotel rooms and luxury
villas, and manage reservations in real time through leading
traffic generators.
In November a new investment was completed in Growth Capital
Ventures, a leading developer and operator of an on-line
co-investment platform for the alternative finance sector.
In December 2016 Maven achieved an exit from Nenplas through a
trade sale to a German acquirer, achieving a return of 2.9 times
cost over the life of the investment.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company were
set out in full in the Strategic Report contained within the 2016
Annual Report, and are the risks associated with investment in
small and medium sized unlisted and AIM/ISDX quoted companies
which, by their nature, carry a higher level of risk and are
subject to lower liquidity than investments in large quoted
companies. The valuation of investee companies may be affected by
economic conditions, the credit environment and other risks
including legislation, regulation, adherence to VCT qualifying
rules and the effectiveness of the internal controls operated by
the Company and the Manager. These risks and procedures are
reviewed regularly by the Audit and Risk Committees and reported to
your Board. The Directors have confirmed that all tests, including
the criteria for VCT qualifying status, continue to be monitored
and met.
Share Buy-backs
Shareholders have given the Board authority to buy back shares
for cancellation or to be held in treasury, subject always to such
transactions being in the best interests of Shareholders. It is
intended that, subject to market conditions, available liquidity
and the maintenance of the Company's VCT status, shares will be
bought back at prices representing a discount of between 10% and
20% to the prevailing NAV per share.
During the period under review 400,000 shares were bought back
at a total cost of GBP210,000.
Regulatory Developments
As detailed in the 2016 Annual Report, the July 2015 Budget
received Royal Assent on 18 November 2015, bringing into statute a
number of material changes to the legislation governing the UK VCT
scheme, aligning it with EU State Aid Rules for smaller company
investment. The new rules impose specific restrictions on the types
of transactions and companies which VCTs are able to pursue in
order to retain qualifying status. As a further amendment, the
March 2016 Budget statement announced that there would be changes
to the rules governing non-qualifying investments by VCTs. With
effect from 6 April 2016 VCTs were only permitted to make
qualifying investments and certain limited investments for
liquidity purposes, with other types of non-qualifying investments
prohibited. Given the complexity of the new rules, and in order to
ensure ongoing compliance, the Company continues to engage the
services of an adviser to assist in interpreting the revised
legislation in relation to all proposed transactions.
The Chancellor's 2016 Autumn Statement did not introduce further
amendments to the VCT legislation. However, it did highlight that
the Government will no longer be initiating a review into the
provision to allow replacement capital in certain new VCT
transactions, suggesting that this would be reviewed over the
longer term.
The Statement also announced that, in response to the increase
in the volume of applications submitted to HM Revenue & Customs
(HMRC) and the resultant delays being experienced in obtaining
advanced assurance for the purpose of proposed investments, a
consultation would be initiated into the options to streamline and
prioritise the advanced assurance service provided by HMRC. The
Manager welcomes this development, as the time taken at present to
secure VCT advance assurance is causing delays to the completion of
new investments.
Board of Directors
As intimated in the 2016 Annual Report, Jonathan Carr stood down
as Director and Chairman at the conclusion of the Annual General
Meeting (AGM) held on 31 August 2016 and, following his successful
re-election as a Director, Brian May succeeded Jonathan as
Chairman. Fraser Gray was appointed as a Director on 1 July 2016
and was formally elected by Shareholders at the AGM.
Your Board and the Manager would like to take this opportunity
to thank Jonathan for the valued contribution he has made since the
launch of your Company and wish him every success for the
future.
Offer for Subscription
On 23 September 2016, the Company announced its intention to
launch an Offer for Subscription for New Ordinary Shares, for up to
GBP6 million (with an over-allotment facility for a further GBP2
million), with shares to be issued in both the 2016/17 and 2017/18
tax years. Notwithstanding the introduction of the new VCT rules,
the Board is aware that the Manager has a large and diverse
pipeline of new investment opportunities that should meet the
requirements of the revised VCT legislation. The Directors believe
that launching an Offer represents an opportunity to further
increase the Company's assets in anticipation of the development of
a larger and more diversified portfolio of investments in the years
ahead. A Prospectus containing full details of the proposed Offer
is being prepared for publication in late 2016.
Outlook
Shareholders will be aware of the result of the referendum in
June 2016, in which the electorate expressed the wish that the UK
should leave the EU. Although the full impact of this decision will
become clearer over time, the businesses in which your Company has
invested will maintain or adapt their growth strategies as
appropriate, with many exporters already seeing a short-term
benefit from the devaluation of Sterling against several major
currencies that has occurred at the date of this report.
The Directors are mindful that the introduction of the revised
VCT legislation has imposed a number of restrictions on the types
of businesses and transactions in which VCTs can invest. This will
require the Manager to focus on the provision of development
capital or investing in businesses with growth finance
requirements, at the expense of management buy-out or acquisition
based transactions which have traditionally offered more
predictable returns. Your Board is confident that the experienced
investment team employed by the Manager across its national office
network, remains capable of sourcing opportunities which continue
to meet its investment quality criteria.
Your Board remains committed to delivering the Company's core
objectives of achieving long term capital appreciation and
generating maintainable levels of income for Shareholders. The
Director's consider that the current portfolio of private company
holdings, alongside the pipeline of new investments, offers the
ability to maintain a regular yield for your Company and support
future Shareholder returns.
