Chairman's Statement

 

I am pleased to present this Half-Yearly Report for Mobeus Income & Growth 4 VCT plc covering the six months ended 30 June 2015.

 

Shareholders may have noted that the recently announced summer budget 2015 statement has set out a number of new rules which, if implemented as currently stated, will change the Company's future investment strategy. For further information please see Industry Developments below.

 

The full impact of these new rules is being carefully evaluated by your Board, the Mobeus team and by advisers.  Shareholders will be fully informed of our conclusions. 

 

Performance

The NAV per share as at 30 June 2015 was 113.33 pence compared with the NAV per share of 118.21 pence as at 31 December 2014.

 

The Company's total return (NAV basis) to shareholders for the half-year  was 2.6% (2014: 8.6%), after taking into consideration the second interim dividend of 8.00 pence per share for the year ended 31 December 2014, which was paid on 6 May 2015.

 

To assist shareholders who originally invested in any of the individual fundraisings to monitor the performance of their investment (including dividend payments) on a consistent basis, a table showing the returns to shareholders from each allotment is available on the Company's website.

 

Interim dividend

The Board is declaring an interim dividend of 2.00 pence per share (comprising 1.00 pence from capital and 1.00 pence from income) which will be paid on 25 September 2015 to shareholders on the Register on 20 August 2015. This payment will bring cumulative dividends paid per share since launch to 62.20 pence.

 

Investment portfolio

The investment portfolio recorded a gain of £1.53 million during the first half of the year (6.1% of the 1 January, 2015 value) and was valued at £40.72 million at the period-end.  The portfolio has continued to perform well.

 

2014 was an exceptional year for realisations from the portfolio. The rate of realisation has slowed down this year, although the one sale, of Higher Nature, has enabled exit from one of our oldest investments that has not met expectations, at a total return just above cost.   However, good cash generation at a number of portfolio companies, including new investments Jablite and Ward Thomas, has contributed to a total of £0.92 million in partial loan stock prepayments that has been received from six companies including Jablite, Tessella and Ward Thomas.

 

New investment activity has continued at the strong levels of last year. A total of £5.09 million was invested during the period in five transactions. In January 2015, £2.72 million was invested into Media Business Insight Holdings Limited ("MBI"), a publishing and events business which focuses on the creative production industries. In April 2015, £1.12 million was invested into Jablite, the UK's largest domestic manufacturer of Expanded Polystyrene ("EPS") products. Jablite has had a promising start as a portfolio company, very quickly returning cash of £0.68 million following a particularly strong initial period of cash generation. Three follow-on investments, totalling £1.25 million, were made into existing portfolio companies, namely Entanet, CGI Creative Graphics International and Racoon.  In addition, further sums were invested into a number of acquisition vehicles shortly before the end of the 2014/15 tax year, one of which was utilised for the transaction into Jablite.

 

Shortly after the period-end, a new investment of £0.90 million was made in Tushingham Sails, a leading supplier of stand up paddleboards. 

 

Further details of all these transactions can be found in the Investment Review of this Half-Yearly Report.

 

Revenue account

The net revenue return for the period fell by £0.33 million from £0.95 million at 30 June 2014, to £0.62 million for this half-year. Income during the period has fallen by £0.28 million, primarily due to a number of one-off interest arrears receipts from realised investments in the previous period not being repeated, resulting in a fall in loan stock interest of £0.06 million. Dividend income also fell by £0.20 million to £0.05 million, due similarly to a number of preference dividends on investments subsequently realised being received last year, but not repeated.

 

Running costs rose as Investment Adviser fees charged to revenue rose by £0.02 million due to rising net assets. Other costs have remained static over the period, but the revenue tax charge has risen by £0.03 million.

 

Fundraising

The Company successfully raised the full £6 million sought under its 2014/15 Offer, which closed earlier than planned on 18 February 2015. Recent fundraisings have taken the Company to an economic size, contributing to lower cost ratios and greater diversification.  The Board will reserve a decision in respect of further fundraising until later in 2015.

 

Liquidity

The recent fundraisings and realisations in 2014 have resulted in a relatively high level of liquidity of £13.89 million as at 30 June 2015.

 

The Company continues to hold £6.53 million in a selection of money market funds with AAA credit ratings at 30 June 2015. The balance of cash and current asset investments of £7.36 million is held in deposit accounts with a number of well-known financial institutions across a range of maturities. Current returns from both categories of liquidity balances are poor, but the Board anticipates that returns will increase when UK interest rates start to rise.  Alternative ways of prudently investing cash continue to be sought, although the risk of a loss of capital remains the overriding consideration.  In addition, the Company holds a number of acquisition vehicles, which themselves hold cash or cash equivalents pending using those funds to acquire suitable business opportunities.

 

Investment in qualifying holdings

The Company is required to meet the threshold set by HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") of investing 70% of the funds raised in qualifying unquoted and AIM quoted companies.  The Company exceeded this limit (based on VCT cost as defined in tax legislation, which differs from the actual cost given in the Investment Portfolio Summary) throughout the period.  The balance of the portfolio was invested in non-qualifying investments and cash.

 

Share buybacks

During the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Company bought back 168,443 of its own shares, representing 0.4% of the issued share capital at the beginning of the period, at an average price, including costs, of 100.17 pence per share, representing an approximate discount of 10% to the net asset value per share then prevailing.

 

All of the shares bought back in the period were subsequently cancelled by the Company.  Continuing shareholders benefit from the difference between NAV per share and the price per share at which the shares are bought back and cancelled.

 

Industry Developments

The Budget in March this year announced that some further amendments would be introduced to the VCT legislation, most of which were specifically aimed at enabling the scheme to gain continued approval under the European Commission's State Aid guidelines. These changes were not enacted in the truncated Finance Act passed prior to the General Election, but were proposed for a Finance Bill later in 2015.

 

The Summer Budget 2015 has proposed additional new rules to prevent VCT investment being used to acquire existing shares or the principal trade or assets of businesses. It is expected that VCTs will no longer be permitted to finance management buyouts ("MBOs").  The key aspects of  the proposed new rules are as follows:

 

·    Introducing an 'age of company' restriction of a maximum of 7 years at the time of first investment;

·     Introducing a lifetime investment limit of £12 million; and

·     Prohibiting VCT investment to finance acquisitions (as mentioned above).

 

The proposals remain subject to approval by the European Commission so the date when these proposals become legislation is uncertain, but currently the new rules are expected to apply to investments made by VCTs from October 2015.  The precise details and implications for the VCT's future investment programme will only be fully clear once the legislation is enacted.  However, in the longer term, the Investment Adviser does anticipate a reduction in the range of companies that the VCT could consider as potential investments, together with changes in the Company's investment strategy.  In the meantime, the Investment Adviser, along with others in the industry, is in discussions with HM Treasury about the restrictive nature of the proposed new rules, the impact on smaller company funding, and the way in which these changes are being introduced.

 

Dividend Investment Scheme

The Company's Dividend Investment Scheme ("the Scheme") is a convenient, easy and cost effective way for shareholders to build up their shareholding in the Company.  Instead of receiving cash dividends they can elect to receive new shares in the Company.

 

Shareholders who already participate, or are considering whether to participate, in the Scheme should be aware of the current uncertainties around the Company's future investment activities created by the regulatory changes proposed in the Summer Budget, as referred to above. Shareholders may wish to defer or suspend their participation until the new rules have been enacted and the implications of these changes are clearer. 

 

The current uncertainties created by these proposed changes represents a heightened risk, bearing in mind the associated five year holding period required to secure income tax relief when new shares are allotted under the Scheme.  If you are in any doubt about whether to participate in the Scheme or not, you should consult your financial adviser.   

 

Shareholders wishing to join or leave the Scheme should submit a mandate form, if joining, or submit a written instruction requesting to leave the Scheme, to Capita Asset Services, the Scheme Administrator, by no later than 10 September 2015. Further information on the Scheme, including details of where to obtain an application form, can be found on the Company's website.

 

Shareholder Communications

The Investment Adviser holds an annual VCT event for shareholders in central London. Each event includes a presentation on the Mobeus VCTs' investment activity and performance.  After the successful event held in January 2015, the next workshop is to be held on 26 January 2016.  An invitation to this event is enclosed with this Half-Yearly Report.

 

Outlook

Confidence in prospects for the UK economy is growing and the Investment Adviser's deal flow is strong.  The investment focus is on building the portfolio, both by making new and follow-on investments. 

 

As stated above, the Summer Budget measures mean that there are uncertainties around the Company's future investment activities.  Your Board is carefully considering these matters and will advise shareholders in due course.

 

Finally, I would like to thank shareholders for their continuing support.

Investment Policy

 

The Company's policy is to invest primarily in a diverse portfolio of UK unquoted companies. Investments are structured as part loan and part equity in order to receive regular income and to generate capital gains from trade sales and flotations of investee companies.

 

Investments are made selectively across a number of sectors, primarily in management buyout transactions (MBOs) i.e. to support incumbent management teams in acquiring the business they manage but do not yet own. Investments are primarily made in companies that are established and profitable.

 

The Company has a small legacy portfolio of investments in companies from its period prior to 1 August 2006, when it was a multi-manager VCT. This includes investments in early stage and technology companies.

 

Uninvested funds are held in cash and lower risk money market funds.

 

VCT regulation

The investment policy is designed to ensure that the VCT continues to qualify and is approved as a VCT by HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC").

 

Amongst other conditions, the Company may not invest more than 15% of its investments in a single company or group of companies and must have at least 70% by value of its investments throughout the year in shares or securities comprised in VCT qualifying holdings, of which a minimum overall of 30% by value (70% for funds raised from 6 April 2011) must be in ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights. In addition, although the Company can invest less than 30% (70% for funds raised from 6 April 2011) of an investment in a specific company in ordinary shares it must have at least 10% by value of its total investments in each VCT qualifying company in ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights (save as may be permitted under VCT rules). 

 

UK companies

The companies in which investments are made must have no more than £15 million of gross assets at the time of investment and £16 million immediately following the investment to be classed as a VCT qualifying holding.

 

Asset mix

The Company initially holds its funds in a portfolio of readily realisable interest-bearing investments and deposits. The investment portfolio of qualifying investments is built up over a three year period with the aim of investing and maintaining around 80% of net funds raised in qualifying investments.

 

Risk diversification and maximum exposures

Risk is spread by investing in a number of different businesses across different industry sectors. To reduce the risk of investing in unquoted businesses, each qualifying investment is structured to maximise the amount which may be invested in loan stock as opposed to equity.

 

Co-investment

The Company aims to invest in larger, more mature unquoted companies through investing alongside three other VCTs advised by Mobeus with a similar investment policy. This enables the Company to participate in combined investments advised on by Mobeus of up to £5 million.

 

Borrowing

The Company's articles permit borrowing of amounts up to 10% of the adjusted capital and reserves (as defined therein). The Company has never borrowed and the Board has no current plans to undertake any borrowing.

 

Note on Investment Policy: In the light of proposed regulatory developments referred to in the Chairman's Statement, this policy may need to be reviewed, amending some aspects of the policy, once the details of the legislation are finalised, published and understood.

 

Management

The Board has overall responsibility for the Company's affairs including the determination of its investment policy. Investment and divestment proposals are originated, negotiated and recommended by the Investment Adviser and are then subject to formal approval by the Board of Directors. Mobeus Equity Partners LLP also provides Company Secretarial and Accountancy services to the Company.

 

Investment Review

 

Investments remain spread across a number of sectors, primarily in support services, general retailers, media and fixed line telecommunications.

 

New investment

A total of £5.09 million was invested during the six months under review.  This included substantial new investments to support the MBOs of Media Business Insight and Jablite and three follow-on investments.

Media Business Insight

Events and publishing

January 2015

2.72*

Media Business Insight is a publishing and events business focused on the creative production industries, specifically advertising, TV production and film.  Based in Shoreditch, East London, the company comprises four distinct brands.  The investment represented an attractive opportunity to invest in a sector-leading company underpinned by strong recurring revenues from subscriptions and events.  The company's latest audited accounts for the period ended 31 December 2013 show annual sales of £8.24 million and profit before interest, tax and amortisation of goodwill of £1.06 million.

 

*A further £1.14 million was invested into South West Services Investment Limited ("SWSI") adding to its earlier investment of £0.91 million.  This enabled SWSI to acquire Media Business Insight Limited ("MBI").  The Company has also advanced a non-qualifying loan of £0.67 million to MBI. SWSI subsequently changed its name to Media Business Insight Holdings Limited.

Jablite

Expanded polystyrene products

April 2015

1.12 *

Jablite is the UK's largest domestic manufacturer of Expanded Polystyrene ("EPS") products operating under two divisions; manufacturing packaging (Styropak) and construction (Jablite) products. The business was bought out from its Dutch parent and operates from five production sites in the UK.   For the year ended 31 December 2013, Jablite Limited and Styropack (UK) Limited, generated annual sales of £27.43 million and £15.33 million respectively and profit/(loss) before interest, tax and amortisation of goodwill of £0.66 million and £(0.001) million respectively.

*  £1.12 million was invested into the acquisition vehicle Duncary 16 on 2 April 2015.  This enabled Duncary 16  to acquire Jablite on 23 April 2015.  Duncary 16 has subsequently changed its name to Jablite Holdings Limited.

 

 

 

The VCT also invested a further £11.26 million into a number of new acquisition vehicles in the period.

Racoon International

Hair extension, hair care products and training

January 2015

0.06

Racoon International is a premier supplier of ethically sourced hair for hair extensions, based in Warwickshire.   A small further investment was made with the expectation that this, together with the appointment of a successful sales-orientated Mobeus operating partner to the management team of the business, will add value to a previously unsuccessful investment. Racoon has a £1.94 million turnover and has generated profit before interest, tax and amortisation of goodwill in the year ended 31 March 2014 of £0.09 million.

 

Entanet

Wholesale provider of internet connectivity solutions

February 2015

0.80

Entanet is one of the UK's leading independent wholesale voice and data communications providers based in Telford.  The VCT made a further loan stock investment in February 2015 as negotiated at the time of the original investment in February 2014. Entanet had a turnover of £25.75 million and generated a profit before interest, tax and amortisation of goodwill of £1.82 million during the eleven months to 31 December 2014. 

 

CGI

Producer of adhesive decorative graphics for vehicles

June 2015

0.39

CGI Creative Graphics is a leading specialist provider of adhesive decorative graphics to the automotive, recreational vehicle and airline markets.  It operates from two centres, in Bedford and Cape Town, South Africa.  The Company's latest audited accounts for the year ended 30 November 2012 show annual sales of £12.64 million and profits before interest, tax and amortisation of goodwill of £2.49 million.

Tushingham Sails

Supplier of watersports equipment

July 2015

0.90

Until 2009, Tushingham Sails Limited ("TSL") had been a niche business operating in the watersports market for nearly 40 years, primarily as a supplier of sails to the UK windsurfing market.  TSL's design capabilities and market knowledge led it to enter the new watersport of Stand Up Paddleboarding ("SUP"), where it has created its own dynamic fast-growing brand called Red Paddle.  It currently has an 18% worldwide market share of inflatable SUP sales and 8% worldwide market share of all hard board and inflatable SUP sales. For the year ended 28 February 2015, the business generated adjusted profit before interest, tax and amortisation of goodwill of £1.08 million on sales of £7.54 million.

 

 

*£0.90 million held in Vain Marketing, an acquisition vehicle, was used to acquire Tushingham Sails Limited.  This resulted in a net repayment to the Company of £0.23 million.

The VCT made a further investment of £1.10 million into an existing acquisition vehicle Manufacturing Services Investment Limited in July 2015.

 

Realisations

The number and value of realisations this year has not repeated those of 2014, which were at exceptional levels. There was a modest realisation of one long standing investment, in Higher Nature Limited, during the period under review. The transaction provided £0.30 million in cash for the Company compared to a valuation as at 31 March 2015 of £0.16 million. Further sundry realisations from previous sales totalled £0.04 million.

SWSI subsequently changed its name to Media Business Insight Holding Limited

 

Statement of Directors' responsibilities

 

In accordance with Disclosure and Transparency Rule (DTR) 4.2.10, Christopher Moore (Chairman), Andrew Robson (Chairman of the Audit Committee and Remuneration and Nomination Committee) and Helen Sinclair (Chairman of the Investment Committee), being the Directors of the Company confirm that to the best of their knowledge:

 

(a)

the condensed set of financial statements, which has been prepared in accordance with the statement, "Half-Yearly Reports", issued by the Accounting Standards Board, gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company, as required by DTR 4.2.4;



(b)

the interim management report, included within the Chairman's Statement, Investment Policy, Investment Policy, Investment Review and the Investment Portfolio Summary includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7, being an indication of the important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed set of financial statements;



(c)

a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company for the remaining six months is set out below, in accordance with DTR 4.2.7; and



(d)

there were no related party transactions in the first six months of the current financial year that are required to be reported, in accordance with DTR 4.2.8.



 

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Board acknowledges that there is regulatory risk and continues to manage the Company's affairs in such a manner as to comply with section 274 of the Income Tax Act 2007.  The level of regulatory uncertainty has increased following the publication of the July 2015 Finance Bill. The VCT tax rules contained in section 274 will be amended although the prospective new rules have not yet been finalised.  With this exception, the Board confirms in accordance with DTR 4.2.7, that the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company have not changed materially since the publication of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014.  The principal risks faced by the Company are:

 

-

Economic;

-

Loss of approval as a Venture Capital Trust;

-

Investment and strategic;

-

Regulatory;

-

Financial and operating;

-

Market;

-

Asset liquidity;

-

Market liquidity;

-

Credit/counterparty; and

-

Fraud and dishonesty.

 

A more detailed explanation of these risks can be found in the Strategic Report on pages 21 - 22 and in Note 19 on pages 59 - 65 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014, copies of which are available on the Investment Adviser's website, www.mobeusequity.co.uk or by going directly to the VCT's website, www.mig4vct.co.uk.

 

Going concern

The Board has assessed the Company's operation as a going concern.  The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the interim management report which is included within the Chairman's Statement, Investment Policy, Investment Review and Investment Portfolio Summary. The Directors have satisfied themselves that the Company continues to maintain a significant cash position, the majority of companies in the portfolio continue to trade profitably and the portfolio taken as a whole remains resilient and well-diversified.  The major cash outflows of the Company (namely investments, buybacks and dividends) are within the Company's control.  

 

The Board's assessment of liquidity risk and details of the Company's policies for managing its capital and financial risks are shown in Note 19 on pages 59 - 65 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014.   Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the half-yearly report and annual financial statements.

 

Cautionary Statement

This report may contain forward looking statements with regards to the financial condition and results of the Company, which are made in the light of current economic and business circumstances. Nothing in this report should be construed as a profit forecast.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

 

1. Principal accounting policies

Mobeus Income and Growth 4 VCT plc is a public limited company incorporated in England, registration number 3707697. The registered office is 30 Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4EX.

 

2. Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ("FRS102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and the 2014 Statement of Recommended practice, 'Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts' ('the SORP') issued by the Association of Investment Companies. The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the modification to a fair value basis for certain financial instruments as specified in the accounting policies below.

 

This is the first period in which the financial statements have been prepared under FRS102. There has been no material change in the accounting policies and so there has been no restatement of comparatives.

 

3. Principal accounting policies

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period. Full details of principal accounting policies will be disclosed in the Annual Report.

 

The Half-Year Report has not been audited, nor has it been reviewed by the auditor pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board (APB)'s guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

 

a)  Presentation of the Income Statement

In order to better reflect the activities of a VCT and in accordance with the SORP, supplementary information which analyses the Income Statement between items of a revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the Income Statement.  The revenue column of profit attributable to equity shareholders is the measure the Directors believe appropriate in assessing the Company's compliance with certain requirements set out in Section 274 Income Tax Act 2007.

 

b) Investments

All investments held by the Company are classified as "fair value through profit and loss", and measured in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation ("IPEVCV") guidelines, as updated in September 2009. This classification is followed as the Company's business is to invest in financial assets with a  view to profiting from their total return in the form of capital growth and income.

 

For investments actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is generally determined by reference to Stock Exchange market quoted bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Purchases and sales of quoted investments are recognised on the trade date where a contract of sale exists whose terms require delivery within a time frame determined by the relevant market. Purchase and sales of unlisted investments are recognised when the contract for acquisition or sale becomes unconditional.

 

Unquoted investments are stated at fair value by the Directors in accordance with the following rules, which are consistent with the IPEVCV guidelines:

 

All investments are held at the price of a recent investment for an appropriate period where there is considered to have been no change in fair value. Where such a basis is no longer considered appropriate, the following factors will be considered:

 

(i)

Where a value is indicated by a material arms-length transaction by an independent third party in the shares of a company, this value will be used.








(ii)

In the absence of  i), and depending upon both the subsequent trading performance and investment structure of an investee company, the valuation basis will usually move to either:-









a) an earnings multiple basis. The shares may be valued by applying a suitable price-earnings ratio to that company's historic, current or forecast post-tax earnings before interest and amortisation (the ratio used being based on a comparable sector but the resulting value being adjusted to reflect points of difference identified by the Investment Adviser compared to the sector including, inter alia, a lack of marketability).








or:-









(b) Where an earnings multiple is not appropriate and overriding factors apply, discounted cash flow or net asset valuation bases may be applied.









c) where a company's underperformance against plan indicates fair value is lower than cost, and such fall is considered permanent, the loss is treated as a permanent impairment and as a realised loss, even though the investment is still held. The Board assesses the portfolio for such investments and, after agreement with the Investment Adviser, will agree the values that represent the extent to which an investment loss has become realised. This is based upon an assessment of objective evidence of that investment's future prospects, to determine whether there is potential for the investment to recover in value.


 


 

 

 

 

(iii)    Premiums that will be received upon repayment of loan stock investments are accrued at fair value when the Company receives the right to the premium and when considered recoverable.

 

Capital gains and losses on investments, whether realised or unrealised, are dealt with in the profit and loss and revaluation reserves and movements in the period are shown in the Income Statement.
