   Performance 
 
   At 30 November 2013 the NAV plus cumulative dividends paid of the 
Company was 99.4p, which compares to 98.6p as at 31 August 2013. The 
performance of the Company has been relatively stable in the period 
under review. The NAV decreased slightly due to the payment of a 
dividend. If the dividend is excluded then the NAV would have increased 
due to loan interest income received by the Company exceeding its 
running costs. 
 
   There have been no changes to any unquoted investment valuations but 
there was an increase in the fair value of EKF Diagnostics plc, the 
Company's only quoted investment, of GBP169,000. 
 
   Investment activity 
 
   During the period under review, Octopus VCT plc made no additions or 
disposals in the portfolio.
