Notes 
 
(i) Venture Capital Trusts are not subject to corporation tax on capital gains. 
 
(ii) Tax relief on expenses charged to capital has been determined by allocating 
tax  relief to expenses by reference to  the applicable corporation tax rate and 
allocating  the relief  between the  revenue and  capital in accordance with the 
SORP. 
 
(iii) No deferred tax asset or liability has arisen in the year.

In  addition to the dividends  summarised above, the Board  has declared a first 
dividend for the year ending 31 March 2013 of 1.5 pence per share. This dividend 
will  be paid on 31 August  2012 to shareholders on the  register as at 3 August 
2012. The total dividend will be approximately  GBP333,000. 
 
During  the year, unclaimed dividends older  than twelve years of  GBP10,000 (2011: 
 GBPnil)  were returned to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Articles 
of Association. 
 
10. Basic and diluted return/(loss) per share 
 
The return/(loss) per share has been based on the following figures: 
 
 
 
                                     Year ended               Year ended

The weighted average number of shares is calculated excluding treasury shares of 
2,341,500 (2011: 2,242,955). 
 
There are no convertible instruments, derivatives or contingent share agreements 
in  issue, and therefore no  dilution affecting the return  per share. The basic 
return per share is therefore the same as the diluted return per share. 
 
11. Fixed asset investments 
 
The classification of investments by nature of instruments is as follows:

The  amount shown  for the  purchase of  fixed assets  included in the cash flow 
statement  differs from the amount shown  above, due to an investment settlement 
creditor in the prior year. 
 
The  Directors  believe  that  the  carrying  value  of  loan  stock measured at 
amortised  cost is not materially different to  fair value. The Company does not 
hold  any assets as the result of the enforcement of security during the period, 
and  believes that the carrying values for both impaired and past due assets are 
covered by the value of security held for these loan stock investments. 
 
The  amended FRS 29 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' requires the Company to 
disclose the valuation methods applied to its investments measured at fair value 
through  profit or  loss in  a fair  value hierarchy  according to the following 
definitions;
