Notes to Editors
�
Puma VCT plc is managed by Shore Capital's successful fund management
team. The Company's investment objective is to achieve high
distributions to shareholders. It is investing in a diversified
portfolio of smaller companies, including both unquoted companies and
AIM and Plus Markets traded, selecting companies which Shore Capital
believes will have a relatively lower risk profile than is typical
for their size whilst having the opportunity for value appreciation.
Initially, whilst suitable VCT Qualifying Companies are being
identified, the Investment Manager invested the Company's funds in a
range of investments intended to generate a positive return,
including funds of hedge funds and other products which aim to
achieve an absolute return. The VCT will continue to hold a
proportion of such products after building up the desired holdings of
VCT Qualifying Companies.
Chairman's Statement
�
The defensive qualities of the Puma VCT plc's investments have
enabled a resilient performance with only a small drop in NAV.� This
was despite the well reported turmoil inflicting the wider financial
markets and was considerably better than most of its peers,
reflecting the investment manager's conservative approach.
�
In a year where the AiM market fell 17 per cent from its peak in
July, the Company is reporting a 3.7 per cent fall in diluted NAV per
share (including the 2006 final dividend) for the 14 month period,
which now stands at 105.31p. Although on an absolute return basis
this is disappointing, in the current environment the focus must be
on ensuring that the Company is not too exposed to the vagaries of
the markets and that the private equity investments can weather any
economic down-turn. Most of the drop in value arises from our
investments in AiM stocks which in many cases are trading at a
discount to their asset value. This is more the result of the
volatility and sentiment in the stock market for smaller companies
than the quality of the companies concerned and I would expect these
prices to return to more sensible levels in due course.� To this
extent I am comfortable that the Investment Manager has successfully
delivered against its mandate and is conservatively building a robust
portfolio of investments that should protect investors' capital.
�
Venture capital investments
�
The Company completed nine qualifying transactions during the period.
Three of these are private equity deals with companies in which Puma
VCT plc already had an investment. Given the current uncertainties,
it is undoubtedly a sensible approach to stick with the companies and
entrepreneurs whom are well known to the Investment Manager. The new
AiM investments were relatively small amounts, representing less than
6 per cent of the total qualifying portfolio (c4 per cent of total
NAV).
�
Puma VCT plc originally invested �711,000 into Cadbury House Hotel &
Country Club Limited in June 2005. The Company subsequently follow-on
invested �1.2 million in two tranches, with the second investment
occurring in April 2007. In June, Cadbury House opened the doors to
the newly built 72 bed hotel extension and it has subsequently
outperformed expectations with respect to occupancy and room rates.
Given the success of the leisure club, it was proposed that an
extension should be built to expand capacity. This presented the
Company with an opportunity to exit its original investment with an
88 per cent return after two years and to reinvest further amounts as
secured mezzanine.
�
As you may recall, Puma VCT plc invested in the parent company of
Bloomsbury Auctions Limited, at the end of 2006. Bloomsbury Auctions
is Europe's largest specialist book auctioneer, which during the year
has successfully launched additional departments in the UK (away from
books) and opened new auction rooms in Rome and New York. As a result
of the progress made, the company sought further amounts to fund
working capital requirements. Puma VCT plc invested �203,000 as part
of a �1 million financing round.�
�
At 28 February 2008, the Company's qualifying portfolio had a total
cost of �9,212,000 and was valued at �8,513,000 resulting in an
unrealised loss of �699,000. Further details are set out in the
Investment Manager's Report and the Largest Investments on pages 5 to
12.
�
The Company now has 73.4 per cent invested in qualifying
investments, which meets the Inland Revenue requirement to have at
least 70 per cent in qualifying investments by the end of year three.
�
Non-qualifying investments
�
The Investment Manager has invested the non-qualifying investments on
an absolute return basis.� The market value was �3,893,000 at
year-end against an underlying book cost of �3,448,000.� The
performance was flat in the non-qualifying portfolio in 2007 as a
result of the turbulent markets, reflecting which the Company retains
a high level of cash.
�
Results and dividend
�
The net total loss for the period was �497,000.� Gross revenue for
the period was �480,000 and net revenue return after taxation was
�182,000.� The Board proposes a final dividend of 1.5p per Ordinary
Share.� The ex-dividend date will be 7 May 2008 and the record date 9
May 2008.� Payment will be made to shareholders by 2 July 2008.
�
Annual General Meeting
�
The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at Bond Street
House, 14 Clifford Street, London, W1S 4JU on 27 June 2008 at 10am.�
Notice of the Annual General Meeting and Form of Proxy are included
with the annual accounts.
�
�
Outlook
�
As discussed later on in the Investment Manager's Report, in many
respects the fall-out from tighter credit conditions is expected to
present more opportunities to Puma VCT plc as potential investee
companies look for alternative sources of debt finance and should
have more realistic expectations on valuations, whether that be in a
private or listed capacity. The existing private equity investments
have performed well and we are comfortable with the risk exposure in
these going forward. The AiM investments make up only 14 per cent of
the overall portfolio. On a medium term view it is still considered
that they represent sound defensive investments, however, we will
monitor them very closely.

Investment Manager's Report
�
Overall Performance
�
The Company's relatively lower risk investment mandate has clearly
been tested in the preceding eight months as significant increases in
volatility and widespread negative sentiment dragged down the
financial markets. It is against this backdrop that we are pleased to
report that the diluted NAV per share performed relatively well,
dropping from 110.32p to 105.31p representing a 3.7 per cent fall
after taking into account the 2006 dividend. This compares favourably
against the fall of 17 per cent in the FTSE AiM index from its high
in July and we believe supports our investment decisions to date.
Notwithstanding this, the results are disappointing as our investors
expect an absolute return on their capital. We are, however,
comfortable with the current portfolio of investments and expect that
recent falls will be corrected in the medium term whilst at the same
time new investments will improve overall returns.
�
The well documented difficulties faced by hedge funds after July
impacted on the performance of the non-qualifying portfolio as did
adverse market sentiment on property stocks. The hedge fund
investments ended the period with a positive overall return of 4.3
per cent. During the period the amount invested in hedge funds was
reduced by over 65 per cent as a result of increasing concern over
the turmoil in markets as a whole. The decline in the remaining
non-qualifying investments, which off-set the hedge fund gains, was
due to falls in property share prices trading at deep discounts to
net asset values. We believe that the discounts to net asset values
shown on these stocks should protect investors against further shocks
and we would expect valuations to rise over the next three years.
�
New Qualifying Investments
�
During 2007, we considered literally hundreds of opportunities for
the Company's qualifying portfolio, meeting numerous management teams
every week. It is therefore a reflection of our cautious approach, in
accordance with our mandate, that we did not get carried away by the
frenetic activity associated with the AiM market in the first half of
the year. This has left us relatively well positioned, given the
subsequent decline in values across the board. Therefore, it should
perhaps be of little surprise that of the nine new qualifying
transactions completed by Puma VCT plc four of these related to
companies in which we already had an investment. In turbulent and
uncertain times it has been hugely reassuring to have the opportunity
to invest in businesses and management teams that we know very well.
�
Puma VCT plc's first qualifying investment in 2007 was the second
tranche of the Company's �1.2 million senior debt investment in
Cadbury House Hotel & Country Club Limited. Cadbury House opened its
72 bed hotel wing in June which brings to an end a �17 million
development project that started in June 2005. The management team
have continued to deliver excellent results from all aspects of the
business which includes conference and banqueting and a leisure club.
The overwhelming success of the leisure club in growing membership
led to a proposal to build an extension to increase capacity. To
facilitate the financing and to crystallise a gain, the investment
was restructured in November. The Puma VCT plc's original investment
of �711,000 was exited at �1.33 million, an 88 per cent return in
just over two years. The Company reinvested �910,000 of this amount
into more secure loan notes, with an attractive coupon.
�
Puma VCT plc invested in Bond Contracting Limited in the first half
of 2007. Bond Contracting was set-up to acquire companies or to
operate within the leisure sector and actively sought to enter into
contracting arrangements during the period. We are pleased to report
that the company has recently entered into its first significant
construction contract within this space.
�
Between April and July, Puma VCT plc invested a total of �679,000 in
five AiM quoted companies: Universe Group Plc, Mount Engineering Plc,
Mediasurface Plc, Invu Plc and i-Design Plc. Just under a third of
this amount was invested in Mount Engineering Plc a provider of
engineering equipment, principally to the oil and gas sector. We are
pleased to report that the share price has held firm against the
wider market decline. The business has many of the defensive
qualities we look for, was reasonably priced and the management team
are backable. The other new AiM investments proved less resilient to
the general market down-turn. These represent only 4.4 per cent of
the Company's NAV and therefore the exposure is well contained and
did not unduly impact Puma VCT plc's performance.
�
The Company's second investment in what was Interactive World plc
(now Sport Media plc) has proved more disappointing. Puma VCT plc's
original investment, in this distributor and aggregator of media
content to mobile phones, had been performing satisfactorily, with
the share price being supported by strong cash generation and
management delivering against all forecasts. In August this year, the
Company invested a further �204,000, as part of a �63 million
fundraising, in a deal to acquire the Sports Newspaper Group (the
combined group has been renamed Sport Media Group Plc). The business
has strong cash flows in both parts of the merged group (reflected in
a good dividend) and management made a case for a turn-around story.
Most of the �63 million raised was placed with non-VCTs giving the
stock a higher capitalisation which should improve its liquidity in
the medium term.
�
Puma VCT plc's final qualifying investment of 2007 was another
follow-on investment in one of our existing private investee
companies. Stocklight Limited is the parent company of Bloomsbury
Auctions, which has made great progress expanding its auction
business both in the UK and overseas. The company successfully
launched a new auction room in New York and Rome, whilst maintaining
momentum with the more established London business. The Company
invested �203,000, taking the total investment to �611,000. In
keeping with our mandate, most of the investment is in the form of
secured loan notes and we are comfortable with the security provided
by a significant asset base.��
�
During the period the Company has invested in two qualifying
companies, Clifford Contracting Limited and Albemarle Contracting
Limited. Both Albemarle Contracting Limited and Clifford Contracting
Limited have been actively pursuing opportunities to either acquire
companies or to operate within the business consultancy sector and we
expect news of positive developments over the coming months. ��
�
Existing Qualifying Investments
�
The investments discussed above represent c.88 per cent of the
qualifying portfolio with the balance consisting of four further
existing investments, quoted on AiM: patsystems Plc, Vertu Motors
plc, @UK plc and Clarity Commerce Solutions plc. patsystems plc and
Vertu Motors plc represented c.92 per cent of these investments at
year end NAVs.
�
Vertu Motors plc is delivering on its strategy as a consolidator of
motor dealerships. Its largest acquisition to date, of the Bristol
Street Motors group for �40 million, together with several smaller
ones has propelled it to be the 10th largest dealership in the UK.
The industry remains very fragmented, offering opportunities for
further acquisitions. The management are strong (ex Reg Vardy) and
the share price is underpinned by considerable fixed asset backing.
However, negative sentiment on the sector, a result of disappointing
results from the larger players and concerns about the consumer, has
dragged down the share price. We still believe that the company
offers strong fundamentals on a medium term view but will continue to
monitor closely. Given the relatively large position we have in
Vertu, one factor we took into account when making the investment
decision was that the vast majority of the shares placed were with
non-VCT shareholders, which should greatly facilitate our eventual
exit.
�
Patsystems plc provides derivatives trading software products and
solutions to financial institutions. The company continues to perform
well, delivering results which met all expectations. Despite the
problems faced by its customer base, patsystems is well positioned to
weather the storm, as a high proportion of its revenues are recurring
and effectively booked, whilst additional growth is expected from its
risk management system. Although the share price is off its highs set
in May (in part caused by bid speculation), it has been a strong
performer, ending the year up c.60 per cent.
�
Outlook
�
We believe that the Company remains well positioned in the year ahead
both in respect of its existing portfolio and the opportunities that
we expect will emerge as a result of tighter credit markets. In 2007,
when banks were lending loosely and new fundraisings on AiM were
placed relatively easily, we stayed on the side-lines whilst risk was
being priced incorrectly. Companies seeking secured mezzanine
financing in 2008 will struggle to find such accommodating bankers.
As a result of this we expect to see increasing deal flow to invest
in robust companies with more realistic price expectations. A deeper
macroeconomic decline than currently expected will undoubtedly
present challenges for our current investments but we are confident
that their defensive attributes will protect our capital.
