                          Interim Management Statement
                                 February 2008


Electra Kingsway VCT 3 Plc presents its interim management statement for the
three month period from 1 October 2007 to 31 December 2007. This is the first
Interim Management Statement issued by the Company in accordance with the new EU
Transparency Directive and FSA requirements.

Stuart Stradling, Electra Kingsway VCT 3 Plc's Chairman said:

"Our outlook for the business is unchanged. We have made a number of investments
in the first three months. We remain wary of the general economic outlook and
believe that the availability of bank finance may negatively impact on possible
realisations in the short term. However, we also believe that current market
conditions will generate opportunities for those funds with capital to invest."

Investments and realisations

The Company invested a total of �2.2 million in the three months to 31 December
2007. Investment for the equivalent period last year was �3.7million.

The two largest investments in the period were �1.0 million made in The Fin
Machine Company and �1.0 million in Kingsway Acquisitions Ltd (Springrealm),
companies specialising in Manufacturing and Branded Menswear respectively.

There were no realisations for the three months to 31 December 2007 (2006:�
NIL).

After the quarter end the Company made two further investments totalling �0.5
million and received proceeds totalling �1.9 million from the sale of its
holding in Gyro International.

Share Buybacks

During the three months to 31 December 2007, no shares were issued and no shares
were bought back by the Company for cancellation.

On 29 January 2008 the Company acquired 36,450 shares for cancellation.

The number of ordinary shares in issue was 35,033,198 as at 11th February 2008.

Net Liquid Resources

The Company had net liquid resources at 31 December 2007 of �10.6 million.
Despite the investment over the three months to 31 December, the Company remains
with substantial liquid assets available for further new investment.

Final Results

On 24 January 2008, the Company announced its results for the financial year
ended 30 September 2007, interim dividend and the date of the forthcoming Annual
General Meeting.
