Commenting on the six month period, Richard Battersby, Non-Executive Chairman, said:

"After careful consideration, the Board agreed proposals with Unicorn AIM VCT plc (UAVCT) for a merger by way of a scheme of reconstruction (the Scheme) whereby, following a tender offer by the Company to its shareholders of up to GBP5 million (the Tender Offer), the remaining assets and liabilities of the Company will be transferred to UAVCT in exchange for new ordinary shares to be issued by UAVCT."

The NAV as at 31 August 2015 was 39.31 pence per share, a decrease of 1.8% over the past six months, before the special and interim dividends of 2.00 pence and 2.50 pence per share respectively that were paid during the period."

Interim Management Report

Introduction

Given the back drop of headline falls in the main market indices combined with increased volatility the results for the first half of this year to 31 August 2015 proved to be relatively satisfactory with Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share decreasing by 1.8% (before dividend payments), which compares favourably with the Total Return FTSE All-Share Index and FTSE 100 Index, which decreased by 6.2% and 7.9% respectively. However, the Total Return FTSE AIM All-Share Index increased by 3.5% during the same period. As I have stated previously, none of these indices are perfect benchmarks for our own performance as so few of the size and type of company in which we can invest are represented in them.

Net Asset Value

The NAV as at 31 August 2015 was 39.31 pence per share, a decrease of 1.8% over the past six months, before the special and interim dividends of 2.00 pence and 2.50 pence per share respectively that were paid during the period.

Results

The loss on ordinary activities after tax for the six months to 31 August 2015 was GBP263,000 (31 August 2014: profit of GBP299,000). The loss was 0.70 pence per share (31 August 2014: profit of 0.78 pence per share). It is important to realise that the profit or loss figures reflect the requirement to recognise the majority of unrealised gains and losses in the Income Statement. During times of volatile share price movements, this results in large swings between profits and losses which do not always reflect cash movements.

Qualifying Investments

The Company made one full and one partial realisation of qualifying investments during the period, resulting in total proceeds of GBP881,000 and a net profit of GBP775,000 over historic cost.

The qualifying portfolio, which cost GBP6.6 million, was valued at GBP7.3 million at 31 August 2015 and represents 50.0% of the net assets of the Company. Included in the above figures was a notable success as a consequence of Vista Equity Partners acquiring Advanced Computer Software plc. The Company received proceeds of GBP840,000, realising a gain over historic cost of GBP738,000. The original qualifying investment was made in 2008 at a cash cost of GBP500,000 and has returned total proceeds of GBP1,811,000 including multiple partial sales over the period of investment. This represents a return of some 3.6 times the original investment.

An investment portfolio summary is provided in note 10 to this announcement.

Strategy

Earlier this year the Board announced proposals to wind up the Company by way of a Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL). However, following that announcement the Board was approached by a number of

other VCTs and their managers with a view to a merger, which it believed would result in better value for the Company's shareholders. After careful consideration, the Board agreed proposals with Unicorn AIM VCT plc (UAVCT) for a merger by way of a scheme of reconstruction (the Scheme) whereby, following a tender offer by the Company to its shareholders of up to GBP5 million (the Tender Offer), the remaining assets and liabilities of the Company will be transferred to UAVCT in exchange for new ordinary shares to be issued by UAVCT.

These proposals were put to the Company's Annual General Meeting and Shareholders approved a resolution which authorised and instructed your Board to proceed. Whilst this resolution indicated shareholder support it had no formal legal effect and on 27 October 2015 a circular was posted to Shareholders which convenes two further General Meetings of the Company to approve the tender and the merger (by way of the Scheme) as well as the ultimate voluntary winding up of the Company, once all its assets and liabilities have been distributed to UAVCT. At these meetings shareholders will be able to vote on the formal resolutions to implement the proposals. A copy of the circular is also available on the Company's website www.rensburgaimvct.co.uk.

The Board believes that the Tender Offer and the Scheme are in the best interests of shareholders generally and will maximise shareholder value. They offer more attractive options to shareholders than any other approach received by the Company and in particular the potential to retain deferred capital gains tax relief for shareholders wishing to do so. The Board had received approaches from other AIM-focused and also 'Generalist' VCTs but it believed the proposals from UAVCT offer greatest shareholder value.

UAVCT is the largest AIM-focused VCT with similar objectives to those of the Company. As at 31 August 2015, UAVCT had unaudited net assets of GBP124.1 million, which affords it significantly greater scale than RAVCT, with GBP14.6 million of unaudited net assets at the same date. UAVCT has a strong record over the past few years and is rated by the Association of Investment Companies as one of the best performing AIM VCTs over one, three and five years in terms of both NAV and share price performance. Shareholders in the Company who continue as shareholders of UAVCT will therefore be continuing with a similar investment.

The proposals agreed with UAVCT give shareholders the opportunity to consider the action they wish to take; to

exit (to the extent which will be available under the Tender Offer) if they so desire at minimal discount to NAV

or to continue to hold shares in a VCT with an investment strategy very similar to that of the Company. It is

important to note that most of the costs of the Scheme will not be paid by either the Company or UAVCT, as

UAVCT's investment manager, Unicorn Asset Management Limited, has agreed to pay (subject to the Scheme

being implemented) all of the costs, save for any termination payment due to Investec Wealth & Investment

Limited, the managers of the Company. The costs of the tender offer will be borne by the Company. These costs and the termination payment are disclosed in the circular.

Should shareholders decide not to support the proposals the Board will initially continue with the previously stated strategy as detailed in the Annual Report and Financial statements 2015 but will then have to reconsider alternative strategies for the future of the Company.

Non-Qualifying Investments

During the six months to 31 August 2015, GBP22,000 of non-qualifying investments were acquired and GBP421,000 of non-qualifying investments were sold, realising a loss over historic cost of GBP651,000.

The non-qualifying portfolio, which cost GBP5.7 million, was valued at GBP7.4 million at 31 August 2015 and represents 50.3% of the net assets of the Company.

Other net current liabilities make up 0.3% of the total net assets of the Company at 31 August 2015 and include GBP231,000 of cash.

Dividend

As a result of the proposals described in the strategy section the Company does not intend to pay an ordinary interim dividend. The Company has distributed a total of 66.75 pence per share since it was established.

VCT Status

(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires

October 30, 2015 10:30 ET (14:30 GMT)

The Board continues to be mindful of maintaining the Company's VCT qualifying status. H.M. Revenue and Customs has confirmed that the Company has full approval and the Company continues to meet the relevant conditions to maintain full approval. The net funds raised in any one accounting period are disregarded in assessing whether the Company has satisfied the requirement that at least 70% of its total investments are qualifying investments until the first accounting period that ends three years after the raising of the additional funds. In the Company's case, all funds have now reached this point and your Board, therefore, expects that the Company should maintain its VCT qualifying status in the future and until such time as the Scheme is implemented.

Share Buy-Backs

During the half year the Company has repurchased for cancellation 780,000 (2.1% of equity at 28 February 2015) shares at a cost of GBP296,673, an average cost of 38.0 pence per share.

At 31 August 2015, the middle share price was 35.0 pence per share, representing a discount of 11.0% (28 February 2015: 11.4%) to NAV at that date.

Annual General Meeting

The Board are pleased to report that all resolutions were passed at the Annual General Meeting held in August 2015.

Risks and Uncertainties

In accordance with DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the directors have considered the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year.

The Directors believe that the principal risk faced by the Company is the loss of its approval as a VCT arising from a breach of the requirements of section 274 of the Income Tax Act 2007. This would mean that shareholders might have to repay Capital Gains tax deferment relief they obtained on their investment in the Company and that the Company would lose its exemption from tax on any capital gains. The Manager reports to the Board at each meeting on the Company's compliance with section 274 of the Income Tax Act 2007 and the Board is advised on VCT compliance issues by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Other significant risks include a serious or prolonged fall in either individual investments or the wider stock market which would affect the Company's performance and value; consistent underperformance by the Manager; and the Company's shares failing to achieve a rating which reflects performance. The Board seeks to mitigate these risks by monitoring the Manager's performance at each Board meeting and discussing appropriate action where considered necessary. The Board considers the two most appropriate key performance indicators for the Company are its compliance with the requirements of section 274 of The Income Tax Act 2007, in order to maintain approval as a VCT and the net asset value per share. A five year summary of the net asset value per share is provided in the full Report and Financial Statements.

Liquidity risk includes the fact that a share traded on AIM does not guarantee liquidity. The Company is required to comply with the Companies Act 2006, the rules of the UK Listing Authority and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. Breach of any of these might lead to suspension of the Company's Stock Exchange listing, financial penalties or a qualified audit report. Financial risks include inappropriate accounting policies leading to misreporting or breaches of regulations. The Company monitors these requirements in order to mitigate such risk.

Operational risks include failure of the Manager's accounting systems or disruption to its business which might lead to an inability to provide accurate reporting and monitoring. The Manager has a formal disaster recovery policy to mitigate such risks.

Shareholder Communications

Our website at www.rensburgaimvct.co.uk provides shareholders with information on the Company, including the latest announced NAV, share price, statutory accounts and dividend history. Shareholders should note that we report (with an announcement on the Regulatory News Service 'RNS') the month end NAV figure shortly after the commencement of the following month. Those shareholders who wish to keep up to date with our performance should visit the AIC website at www.theaic.co.uk and refer to the statistics section on AIM VCTs.

Outlook

In the month to 30 September 2015, the Total Return FTSE AIM All-Share Index decreased by 1.2% whilst the Total Return FTSE 100 and Total Return FTSE All-Share Indices decreased by 2.9% and 2.7% respectively. The NAV of the Company was 38.01 pence per share as at 30 September 2015, a 3.3% decrease on the half-year figure.

Finally, on behalf of all shareholders I would like to thank my fellow Directors, our Manager, Investec Wealth & Investment Limited, and our professional advisers for their continued contributions.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements

 
 1.    Basis of Preparation 
       The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern 
        basis and in compliance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 
        including Financial Reporting Standard 102, "The Financial Reporting 
        Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of 
        Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance 
        with the Statement of Recommended Practice ("SORP") for investment 
        trust companies and venture capital trusts issued by the Association 
        of Investment Companies ("AIC") in November 2014 and on the assumption 
        that the Company maintains VCT status. The Company adopted FRS 
        102 from 1 March 2015, this has not resulted in an adjustment 
        to the prior year results except in respect of certain presentational 
        reclassifications. In accordance with Section 405(2) of the Companies 
        Act 2006, the Company is exempt from preparing consolidated financial 
        statements. As such, the Company is not required to prepare its 
        financial statements in accordance with International Financial 
        Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. 
 
        The Board has agreed proposals with Unicorn AIM VCT plc (UAVCT) 
        for a scheme of reconstruction (the Scheme) whereby, following 
        a tender offer by the Company to its shareholders of up to GBP5 
        million (the Tender Offer), the remaining assets and liabilities 
        of the Company will be transferred to UAVCT in exchange for new 
        ordinary shares to be issued by UAVCT. These proposals, if approved 
        and implemented will ultimately lead to the Company entering into 
        a Members' Voluntary Liquidation. 
 
        However, the Board recognises that this requires shareholder approval 
        and that, whilst the Company may enter voluntary liquidation in 
        the coming twelve months, there is a material uncertainty. They 
        therefore believe it is appropriate to retain the Going Concern 
        assumption. 
 2.    Related Party Transactions 
       As shown in the Income Statement, fees incurred by this Company 
        for investment management services provided by Investec Wealth 
        & Investment Limited ("IW&I"), a company for which Barry Anysz

        half-year. The outstanding balance accruing to IW&I at 31 August 
        2015 was GBP228,027 (2014: GBP92,571). Further analysis of the

        During the half-year, Walker Morris LLP, a law firm for which 
        Peter Smart acts as consultant, provided legal services to the 
        Company totalling GBP47,400 (2014: GBP3,300) including VAT. The 
        outstanding balance at 31 August 2015 was GBP47,400 (31 August

       Throughout the half-year IW&I has provided investment management 
        and secretarial services to the Company. 
 
        Under the Investment Management Agreement, IW&I receives an annual 
        fixed fee of GBP45,000 along with a quarterly fee based upon 0.375% 
        of the quarter end NAV, prior to the fee itself and after adding 
        back dividends paid during the year to date. 
 
        A further provision of the agreement obliges IW&I to rebate to 
        the Company annual running costs (as defined in the Investment 
        Management Agreement) if they exceed 3.5% per year of the Funds 
        under Management after adding back the value of dividends paid 
        during the year, to the extent of the excess. The repayment will 
        be limited to the total amount that would have been payable to 
        IW&I in that financial year. The agreement is terminable on twelve 
        months' notice by IW&I or the Company. 
 
        In addition to the main fee structure explained above, IW&I has 
        charged GBP18,403 in the six months to 31 August 2015 (6 months 
        to 31 August 2014: GBP20,927) for the management of the non-qualifying 
        Main List quoted equities based on 0.15% per quarter of market 
        value. 
 
        The Ongoing Charges percentage for Rensburg Aim VCT plc in the 
        year to 31 August 2015 was 3.19% (2014: 2.92%). The calculations 
        have been made by reference to the Association of Investment Companies 
        recommended methodology except that the underlying costs incurred 
        by the investment in the Franklin Templeton Mid Cap OEIC which 
        represented 7.19% of net assets at 31 August 2015 (2014: 5.12%) 
        have not been included.
