Chairman's Statement
Results
In the six months to 30 June 2013, the Net Asset Value
(NAV) Total Return per Ordinary Share was 59.71p,
comprising a NAV of 42.21p and cumulative dividends
paid of 17.50p per Ordinary Share. This represents
a decrease from the Combined NAV Total Return to 31
December 2012 of 6.2%, (3.92p) per Ordinary Share.
This reduction is attributable to the interim valuation
of our unquoted investments, in which we use International
Private Equity and Venture Capital ("IPEVC") valuation
guidelines based upon most recently available financial
information on trading.
Investments
Core Capital I LP ("CCILP")
During the period a further GBP3.75 million was drawn
down from the Institutional Investors in CCILP. The
main recipient of these funds were Ark Home Healthcare
Limited GBP1.75 million, Colway Limited GBP1.2 million
and SPL Services Limited GBP0.8 million. As at 30
June 2013, GBP4.1 million remains to be called (net
of General Partner Fee).
During the period, the valuation reduced by 2.59p.
Within the portfolio, the underlying strategic plans
have not changed significantly, but several of the
underlying budgets have had to be revised, especially
in the case of SPL, and these revisions have been
reflected in the valuations. During the period, the
main focus has been to drive through operational efficiencies
and management change to prepare the investments for
exit over the next couple of years.
Allied International Holdings Limited ("Allied")
Allied, an investment directly held by Core VCT IV
plc, required further funding to progress with its
turnaround plan. Both Core IV plc and Core VCT V plc
did not participate in the further funding due to
their cash constraints and GBP150,000 was injected
by Core VCT plc, by way of a loan to provide preference
on the capital. As a result the valuation reduced
by GBP193,000 (1.77p per share).
The Manager's Review provides an update on all the
investments held in the Company including those held
in CCILP.
Dividends
Future capital dividends will only be paid to shareholders
following the successful exit of investments within
the portfolio, when we plan to distribute all the
realised proceeds available, subject to working capital
and VCT requirements.
Share Price and Share Buy Backs
We would remind shareholders that we view the NAV
Total Return, rather than the share price, as the
preferred measure of performance, as it encompasses
the value of the current portfolio and the amount
of cash distributed to shareholders over the life
of their investment. It is disappointing to report
that the NAV Total Return has fallen by 6.2% over
the period. However, we believe that the underlying
portfolio performance will improve as the strategic
business plans and operational efficiencies are implemented
over the next 12-18 months.
We are conscious that the mid price of the shares
continues to be at a significant discount to the NAV
(48% at 30 June 2013). Whilst the Company has the
ability to buy back its own shares, the Boards' view
remains that any surplus cash should be returned to
all shareholders by way of a distribution. The Ordinary
Shares (CR4) are fully listed shares. Prices are available
on www.thelondonstockexchange.com.
Outlook
The outlook for the UK economy remains subdued but
there appears to be some encouraging signs. Against
this backdrop, it is reassuring that the vast majority
of our investments are funded through their next growth
phases, the level of debt in our underlying portfolio
is relatively low and additionally that management
teams have been strengthened where required. Together
with the further capital that has either recently
been invested or remains available, our largest investee
companies in particular are well placed to deliver
growth. Your Board and Manager remain focused on operating
improvements in our investments with the intention
of seeking realisations for our shareholders over
the medium term.

Statement of Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Company's assets consist of unquoted investments,
cash and liquid resources. It principal risks are
therefore market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Other risks faced by the Company include economic
risk, the loss of approval as a Venture Capital Trust,
failure to comply with other regulatory requirements,
and broader risks such as reputational, operational,
and financial risks. These risks and the way in which
they are managed, are described in more detail in
the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2012,
in note 16 to the accounts. The Company's principal
risks and uncertainties have not changed materially
since the date of that report and it is not envisaged
that there will be any changes to the risks and uncertainties
in the remaining six months of the financial year.
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities in Respect
of the Half Year Report
We confirm to the best of our knowledge:
-- the condensed set of financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial
Reporting' and give a true and fair view of the
assets, liabilities, financial position and loss of
the Company;
-- the interim management report includes a fair review
of the information required by the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules ('DTR') 4.2.7R, being an
indication of important events that have occurred
during the first six months of the financial year and
their impact on the financial statements;
-- the Statement of Principal Risks and Uncertainties
shown above is a fair review of the information
required by DTR 4.2.7R; and
-- the condensed set of financial statements includes a
fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R,
being related party transactions that have taken
place in the first six months of the financial year
and that have materially affected the financial
position or performance of the Company during the
period, and any changes in the related party
described in the last Annual Report that could do so.

Notes:
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of Preparation
The unaudited interim results have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
and the accounting policies set out in the audited
statutory accounts of the Group for the year ended
31 December 2012, except for the adoption of new standards
and interpretations effective as at 1 January 2013.
The Group applies, for the first time, certain standards
and amendments. These include IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements and IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.
The Group had not adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements
as this standard has not yet been adopted by the EU.
As required by IAS 34, the nature and effect of these
changes are disclosed below.
IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive
Income - Amendment to IAS 1 introduce a grouping of
items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI).
As the Group has no OCI the amendment had no impact
to the financial statements.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement establishes a single
source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements.
IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required
to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on
how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value
is required or permitted.
Several other new standards and amendments apply for
the first time in 2013. However, they do not impact
the annual consolidated financial statements of the
Group or the interim consolidated financial statements
of the Group.
The functional currency of the Group is UK pounds
sterling as this is the currency of primary economic
environment in which the Group operates. Accordingly,
the financial statements are prepared in UK pounds
sterling.
The interim consolidated financial statements do not
include all the information required for full annual
accounts and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated Accounts of the Group for the year ended
31 December 2012, which were prepared under full IFRS
requirements.
1.2 Going concern
These statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis and nothing has happened that would change the
Directors' going concern assessment from the last
audited financial statements of 31 December 2012.
In arriving at this conclusion the Directors have
considered the liquidity of the Company and its ability
to meet obligations as they fall due for a period
of twelve months from the date these financial statements
were approved. As at 30 June 2013, the Company held
cash balances of GBP0.2 million. Cashflow projections
have been reviewed and show that the Company has sufficient
funds to meet its contracted expenditure.
1.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the
Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the items reported in the balance sheet and statement
of comprehensive income and the disclosure of financial
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. Although these estimates are based on
management's best knowledge of current facts, circumstances
and, to some extent, future events and actions, the
Group's actual results may ultimately differ from
those estimates, possibly significantly.

a guide to the results of the financial year to 31
December 2013.

Fair Value Hierarchy
All financial instruments for which fair value is
recognised or disclosed are categorised within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value
measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in an active market
(that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques (for which the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable)
Level 3 - Valuation techniques (for which the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable)
The level 3 reconciliation is provided in note 6 to
the accounts.
Valuation techniques
The fair value of the unquoted investments has been
determined adopting a variety of valuation methodologies
which are consistent with the IPEVC valuation guidelines
published in 2009. The valuation process requires
management to make certain assumptions about unobservable
inputs which are disclosed below:
Fair Value
as at
Valuation
Description 30 June 2013 Technique(s) Unobservable input Range
GBP
Marketability
Private equity Market discount 10-20%
investments GBP4,326,279 Comparable
Companies Multiple of:
EBITDA 5.4-7.5x
Gross Profit 1.0x
FUM 1.5x
Net asset
value n/a n/s
Provision n/a n/a
A change of the multiples or the marketability discount
shown above would change the effective multiple and
therefore lead to a change in the valuations as illustrated
below:
10% increase in effective multiple +GBP317,000
10% decrease in effective multiple -GBP317,000
The valuation technique includes the investments held
in CCILP, albeit the Group has a 3.09% interest in
CCILP.
9. Related Party Transaction

the fourth anniversary, payable out of the assets
of Core Capital I LP.
