Investments

Core Capital I LP (CCILP held through Core IV BVI
Limited)
During the quarter no drawdowns were made by CCILP
and at the period end, growth capital of GBP1.7 million
(net of General Partner Fee) still remains to be called
from the other institutional investors. The value
of the Group's 3.09% interest in CCILP increased by
GBP35,371 in line with the quarterly report prepared
by the Manager. This represents an increase of 0.32p
per ordinary share.
Investments Directly Held by Core VCT IV plc
The valuation of Momentous Moving Holdings Limited
was reduced by GBP6,225 to reflect the decline in
trading during the quarter. This represents a decrease
of 0.06p per ordinary share.
The Group's cash balance at the end of the quarter
was GBP0.2 million, or 4.5% of net assets.
Dividends
The Board recommended a final revenue dividend of
0.5p per ordinary share which was approved by shareholders
at the Annual General Meeting held today. This dividend
will be paid on 8 May 2014. Significant dividends
will only be paid to shareholders following a successful
exit of investments within the portfolio, when we
plan to distribute all the realised proceeds available,
subject to working capital and VCT requirements.
Group Holdings as % of Net Assets
31 March 31 December
2014 2013
Core Capital I LP 50.5% 49.7%
Camwatch Limited 19.4% 19.3%
Momentous Moving Holdings Limited 14.1% 14.1%
Allied International Holdings Limited 11.3% 11.3%
Cording Real Estate Group LLP 0.2% 0.2%
Share Capital
The Company has not issued or bought back any shares
during the period. The Company's issued share capital
currently stands at 10,885,969 ordinary shares.
As is common in Venture Capital Trusts, there is little
if any liquidity in the Company's shares, and although
the Directors are able to buy back shares within certain
constraints, this is intended for use only in exceptional
circumstances. Accordingly, those investors who seek
to realise value by selling their shares in the secondary
market are likely to suffer a significant discount
and potential loss of value. Shareholders might consider
holding their shares with a view to benefiting from
future realisations.
Outlook
We are not intending to make any new investments in
either CCILP or Core VCT IV, and have invested most
of the available capital into the investment portfolio.
There is some evidence of improving conditions in
the UK for exit activity, and we look forward to reporting
on the progress of achieving our intended realisations
in the future.
