Chairman's Statement
                                                                      Â
I am writing to present the Interim Financial Report for the Company for the period ended 30 September 2018.
Â
Following the successful realisation of the A Ordinary Share Class portfolio towards the end of last financial year, the board and the Company are pleased to report the remaining share classes are all performing well, with each recording a profit for the period.
Â
Investment Portfolio
Â
The Company's funds at 30 September 2018 are 89% invested in a portfolio of VCT qualifying and non-qualifying quoted and unquoted investments. At 30 September 2018 the Company continues to meet the condition that at least 70% by value of the Company's investments are represented by qualifying holdings. For accounting periods beginning on or after 6 April 2019, the condition will require that 80% by value of the Company's investments are represented by qualifying holdings.
Â
The Investment Manager's review on pages 5 to 8 gives an update on the portfolio of investments in 18 small unquoted businesses and 1 quoted Real Estate Investment Trust.
Â
Ordinary Share Class
Â
May 2018 marked the end of the five year minimum VCT holding period for this share class. Following the transfer of the majority of its portfolio to the E Share Class, at the period end the Ordinary Share Class had one remaining investment in a rooftop Solar PV company. This final investment was transferred to the E Share Class on 1st October 2018.Â
Â
The Ordinary Share Class recorded a profit for the period of 0.07p per share. At 30 September 2018 the net asset value stood at 5.07p per share. Adding back the dividends paid to Ordinary Class Shareholders of 93.80p takes the total return including net asset value to 98.87p per share. This compares to a weighted average share price at acquisition or conversion of 83.60p and a minimum target return of 90.40p.
Â
During the period, the Company paid a dividend to Ordinary Share Class shareholders on the register on 26th July 2018 of 60.74p per share. This dividend represents a significant return of value to shareholders.
Â
In line with the exit strategy for the Ordinary Share Class holders, the Company has declared a final dividend to Ordinary Shareholders on the register at 30 November 2018 of 4.07p per Ordinary Share equivalent to £792,149 which will be payable on 14 December 2018. This will bring the total paid by way of dividends to the Ordinary Class Shareholders to 97.87p per share. Following payment of this dividend, the shares will be cancelled and a final distribution of 1p per share is expected to be paid by March 2019.
Â
C Share Class
The C Share Class has investments in three companies in the Hydroelectric Power sector, which between them own six hydroelectric schemes in the Scottish Highlands. All schemes have been successfully commissioned and are operating in line with expectations. The C Share Class has also invested in companies which provide SME funding in the Hydroelectric Power sector.
Â
I am pleased to report the C Share Class has recorded a profit over the period of 3.99p per share. At 30 September 2018 the net asset value stood at 111.83p per share. Adding back the total dividends paid to date takes the total return, including the net asset value, to 126.83p per share.
Â
During the period the Company paid a third dividend to C Class Shareholders of £672,072, equal to 5p per share.
Â
D Share Class
Â
The D Share Class has investments in five companies in the Hydroelectric Power sector, which between them own six hydroelectric schemes in the Scottish Highlands. All schemes have now been commissioned and are now operating in line with expectations. The D Share Class has also invested in two companies providing funding to SMEs, one of which focuses on the Hydroelectric Power sector.
Â
I am pleased to report that the D Share Class has recorded a profit over the period of 1.84p per share. At 30 September 2018 the net asset value stood at 104.82p per share. Adding back the total dividends paid takes the total return including the net asset value to 114.82p per share.
Â
During the period the Company paid a second dividend to D Class Shareholders of £685,082, equal to 5p per share.
Â
E Share Class
Â
At the beginning of the period the E Share Class was the recipient of a transfer of a diverse portfolio of investments previously held by the Ordinary Share Class. This established and income-producing portfolio has investments spanning Hydroelectric Power, Crematorium Management, Solar PV and SME Lending. The investments were valued at £11.01 million at 31 March 2018 and were transferred at this audited value on 1 April 2018.
Â
Following the period end the E Share Class acquired a Solar PV company from the Ordinary Share Class.
Â
The construction of Perfectly Fresh Cheshire Ltd's pioneering Vertical Growing facility continues and the first crop is expected to be delivered in Q1 2019. It is expected that further investment would be made by the Company into Perfectly Fresh Cheshire Ltd, as it progresses its plans to develop a second production facility.
Â
The E Share Class also has a non-qualifying investment of £6m in Triple Point Social Housing REIT plc ("REIT"). This investment generates income from a widespread portfolio of long term, inflation linked, specialised supported housing property leases and is targeting a regular dividend to investors of 5p per share, per annum. During the period the E Share Class received dividends and property income from the REIT of £65,139 with a further 1.25p per share equal to £63,957 paid in October 2018.
Â
I am pleased to report the E Share Class recorded a profit over the period of 1.02p per share. At 30 September 2018 the net asset value stood at 99.34p per share. The E Share Class is now 82% invested. As a result of this, we expect profits to begin to increase.
Â
Specific Risks
Â
The Board believes that the specific risks currently facing the Company are:
Â
·     investment risk associated with holding VCT qualifying investments;
·     risk of failure to maintain approval as a VCT; and
·     risk of inability to realise investments in order to return funds to investors in line with expectations.
Â
The Board believes these risks are manageable and, together with the Investment Manager, continues to work to minimise both the likelihood and any potential impact of these risks within the scope of the Company's established investment strategy.
Â
Outlook
Â
In the Financial Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2018 we highlighted changes to the VCT landscape with the government, through its 'Financing Growth in Innovative Firms' consultation ("the Patient Capital Review") emphasising the importance of VCTs in helping to provide investments into SMEs. Several changes were introduced, including increasing a VCT's minimum qualifying percentage threshold from 70% to 80% which will come into effect for the Company from 6 April 2019.
Â
The Company, alongside the Investment Manager, has now begun to introduce new procedures to ensure the transition required will have a minimal effect on the Company. The Board is pleased to report that good progress has been made and that the Company is on track to implement the required changes.
Â
The Company and the Investment Manager continue to progress an exit for the Ordinary Share portfolio and are on track to complete this exit by 31 March 2019.
Â
The Company's focus on the C and D Share Class investments in the Hydroelectric Power sector remains on enhancing the operation of the sites now they have been completed and are fully operational.
Â
The Company's focus on the E Share Class is to invest the remaining funds into unquoted investments as soon as possible. Good progress has been made in this area with the Company now targeting both follow-on and new investments into the Vertical Growing sector.
Â
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact Triple Point on 020 7201 8989.

Â
The VCT was established to fund small and medium sized enterprises. At 30 September 2018 it had four share classes, each invested in their own portfolio as detailed on page 5. The overall portfolio comprised investments in 18 small, unquoted companies and one quoted Real Estate Investment Trust, across 5 sectors: crematorium management; electricity generation, vertical growing, SME Funding; and investment property.
Â
At 30 September 2018 the Company continues to meet the condition that at least 70% of relevant funds must be invested in VCT qualifying investments within three years.
Â
Review and Outlook
Â
Ordinary Share Class
Â
The Company and the Investment Manager are working towards facilitating an exit for Ordinary Class shareholders now they have reached the end of their five-year holding period. It is anticipated that a full exit will be achieved for these shareholders by the end of the financial year.
Â
Solar
The Ordinary Share Class held an investment in Green Energy For Education Limited ("GEFE"), a company that owns a portfolio of rooftop solar PV systems. Due to the good weather experienced for much of the period, the PV systems have been outperforming their electricity generation targets and the investment has provided an attractive exposure to a business benefitting from low risk Feed in Tariffs. The rights and obligations arising from this investment were transferred to the E Share Class on 1 October 2018.
Â
C Share Class
Â
The Company and the Investment Manager continue to monitor the ongoing operation and efficiency of the C Share Class investments. The C Share Class has investments in three hydroelectric companies which, between them, own six schemes in the Scottish Highlands. Further updates on the Hydroelectric Power sector are detailed below.
Â
D Share Class
Â
The D Share Class has investments in five hydroelectric companies which between them own six hydroelectric schemes in the Scottish Highlands. All six schemes have been commissioned and are operational.
Â
Hydroelectric Power
Â
All of the hydroelectric schemes are "run of river" plants which capture river flow agreed above a certain level as determined by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). Water flow is generally captured before a descent and flows down the penstock to a turbine engine which produces electricity. The water is then returned to the river. The hydro companies benefit from government backed Feed-in Tariff payments based on output and also from the sale of the electricity produced to utilities or other power companies under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The companies have continued to obtain better power prices than were originally forecast, currently earning an average of 6.19 pence per kWh compared to an expected 5 to 5.5 pence per kWh at the outset.
Â
The hydro companies remain highly focussed on seeking further efficiencies and operating improvements.Â
Â
The companies, together with other industry members and the British Hydropower Association, are continuing to lobby the Scottish Government to recognise the concern on business rates in the Hydro sector.
Â
Two schemes received rateable values for business rates at the end of 2017-18 and the Scottish Government has applied a 25% relief for this year. From 1st April 2018, a 60% relief on business rates for hydro schemes has been applied. Longer term, the Scottish Government has confirmed that it will work alongside industry organisations to fast track a review of the Plant and Machinery Order, which should address business rates in the Hydro sector.
Â
 Although it was very dry during May, June and July, overall we are pleased with the performance of the portfolio to date and we believe that, as the portfolio matures, there remains the opportunity to further enhance its value through continued strategic operational management.
E Share Class
Â
During the period the E Share Class has successfully deployed 82% of its funds into various investments in a diverse range of sectors. Further information on these sectors is detailed below.
Â
Going forward, the Company and the Investment Manager are focused on ensuring that the remaining funds are invested in line with the Company's strategy and the requirements of the VCT legislation.
Â
Hydroelectric Power
The E Share Class has investments in two companies which own, either directly or indirectly, hydroelectric schemes in the Scottish Highlands. Further updates on this sector are detailed above.
Â
Vertical Growing
The E Share Class has invested in Perfectly Fresh Cheshire Ltd, a company which is building a pioneering vertical growing facility. Vertical Growing is the practice of producing food in an indoor growing facility where all inputs (water, light and nutrients) meet the optimum needs of the crop. Vertical Growing facilities are designed to have a sealed environment, meaning that the product is grown in a controlled manner, with positive air pressure to prevent any pests entering the facility. This ensures that insects and other pests cannot access the crop, thus removing the need to use pesticides on the crop being grown. A large variety of produce can be grown including herbs and salad leaves.
Â
The construction of the Vertical Growing facility based in Cheshire continues, and the first crop is expected to be delivered in Q1 2019. Â The completion date has been delayed by a month, but we continue to monitor progress closely and consider that plans are realistic and expectations well managed.
Â
Plans are being developed to construct and operate further Vertical Growing facilities in the UK and Perfectly Fresh Cheshire Ltd is in a good position to consider expansion into new, larger sites with successful and ongoing trials and strong interest in the product from supermarkets and manufacturers of convenience foods. This will require further funding.
Â
Gas Power
The E Share Class has invested in a company that has constructed a gas fired energy centre. During the period the energy centre was fully constructed and was successfully commissioned in May 2018.
Â
The power plant utilises tried and tested technology, provided by Rolls Royce, to provide a reliable and secure energy supply. The energy centre is a containerised gas combustion engine that generates electricity for onward sale, especially at times when there is high demand for power. The UK is aiming to close its coal-fired power plants by 2025 and it is expected that there will be a shortage in the supply of energy in the UK. Although renewable energy makes an increasing contribution, the irregular nature of its production means that other baseload sources will also be required to make up the deficit.
Â
The company has taken advantage of a gap in the market by constructing and operating a gas fired energy centre to produce and sell electricity to customers.
Â
Gas will be purchased from the National Transmission System and combusted in the engines. The electricity will then be exported to the National Grid and sold under a power purchase agreement. The Company will receive revenues from the sale of electricity and income from embedded benefits.Â
Â
Embedded benefits cover a range of payments available to small electricity generators connected to the distribution network, rather than the transmission grid. Benefits can be earned for generating at peak times and for local distribution.
Â
In addition, generators can earn additional revenues by operating outside of the peak 4-7pm hours to take advantage of 'intraday' and 'post-gate closure' price volatility.
Â
A more detailed review will be included once the energy centre has sufficient operating history for meaningful analysis.
Â
Non-Qualifying Investments
Â
Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT")
Triple Point Social Housing REIT plc invests in social housing assets within the UK, in particular homes in the supported housing sector. These homes are adapted to provide care and support to vulnerable tenants with specific requirements, and provide tenants with greater independence than institutional care accommodation. The REIT has a portfolio of properties which benefit from long-term index linked leases of at least twenty years to Approved Providers, such as housing associations, who are bodies that receive their funding from central and local government. Through these long leases it is able to offer its shareholders an attractive and consistent level of inflation-linked income.
Â
SME Funding
The Company has non-qualifying investments in four companies which provide finance to SME businesses. Two of these companies are non-bank SME lending businesses which aim to address the financing needs of the UK SME market by providing business critical loans and asset finance to over 60,000 UK Corporate and SME customers. The remaining two companies provide finance in the hydroelectric power sector.
Â
Crematorium Management
The Company has an investment in a business that provides crematory and mercury abatement services for the crematoria of a London Borough. In line with expectations for the sector this investment has delivered a modest but steady return over the 7 years that it has been held. During the period the Company received £40,000 from Furnace Managed Services by way of a capital reduction.

Financial Assets including those held for sale are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The initial best estimate of fair value of these investments that are either quoted or unquoted on an active market is the transaction price (i.e. cost). The fair value of these investments is subsequently measured by reference to the enterprise value of the investee company, which is best deemed to reflect the fair value. Where the Board considers the investee company's enterprise value to remain unchanged since acquisition, investments continue to be held at cost less any loan repayments received. Where the Board considers the investee company's enterprise value has changed since acquisition, investments are held at a value measured using a discounted cash flow model or the value to be realised on disposal which is equivalent to fair value.

The capital reserve represents the proportion of Investment Management fees charged against capital and realised/unrealised gains or losses on the disposal/revaluation of investments. The unrealised capital reserve, share redemption reserve and share premium reserve are not distributable. The special distributable reserve was created on court cancellation of the share premium account. The revenue, special distributable and realised capital reserves are distributable by way of dividend.
Â
At 31 March 2018 the total reserves available for distribution are £9,908,000. This consists of the distributable revenue reserve net of the realised capital loss and the special distributable reserve.
