Other significant risks include a serious or prolonged fall in the stock market which would adversely affect the Company's performance, value, distributable reserves and the liquidity of underlying investments; consistent underperformance by the Manager; and the Company's shares failing to achieve a rating which reflects performance. The Board seeks to mitigate these risks by monitoring the Manager's performance at each board meeting and discussing appropriate action where considered necessary.

Shareholder Communications

Our website at www.rensburgaimvct.co.uk provides shareholders with information on the Company, including the latest announced NAV, share price, statutory accounts and dividend history. Shareholders should note that we report (with an announcement on the Regulatory News Service 'RNS') the month end NAV figure shortly after the commencement of the following month. Those shareholders who wish to keep up to date with our performance should visit the AIC website at www.theaic.co.uk and refer to the statistics section on AIM VCTs.

Outlook

The start of the second half of the year has seen a continuation of the positive trend for AIM company shares. Since 5 August 2013 AIM shares are eligible for inclusion in Individual Savings Accounts and this has increased interest in AIM companies. In August the average daily value of trades on AIM was GBP98.8m, a 24.1% increase on August 2012. This has benefitted many AIM company shares, not least our own. The Total Return FTSE AIM All-Share Index increased by 5.5% in the month to 30 September 2013 whilst the Total Return FTSE 100 and Total Return FTSE All-Share Indices increased by 0.9% and 1.1% respectively in the same period. The NAV of the Company was 45.55 pence per share as at 30 September 2013, a 0.7% increase on the half-year figure.

Your Board believes that with a well balanced portfolio of AIM, Main market, OEIC, fixed interest and unquoted investments the Company should perform satisfactorily in the second half.
