REALISATIONS, END OF VCT LIFE AND DISTRIBUTIONS 
 
 
The Board wishes to update shareholders on the progress of the Fund since the 
issue of its interim report on 30th October 2009. We are pleased to announce 
that we have entirely realised our holding in Cadbury House Limited and achieved 
significant progress in the realisation of other major unquoted holdings within 
the qualifying portfolio. We hope to finalise these realisations in January 
2010. 
 
 
If these realisations go according to our expectations, the Fund should be in a 
position to pay a large distribution of realised capital and profit early in 
2010, in one or several payments. Our target is to pay at that point at least 
enough to return to our shareholders the balance of their original investment, 
taking into account the 40% tax relief and dividends already received. 
 
 
The Board intends to realise and distribute the balance of the portfolio in an 
orderly manner during 2010. As previously announced, the process of formal 
winding up cannot begin until 1st June 2010, 5 years on from the closing of the 
two VCTs' flotations.
