Introduction
I am pleased to present Albion Venture Capital Trust PLC (the "Company")'s interim management statement for the period from 1 October 2014 to 19 February 2015.

Performance and dividends
The Company's unaudited net asset value (NAV), based on management accounts, as at 31 December 2014 was £44.03 million or 69.07 pence per share (excluding treasury shares) (30 September 2014: 69.92 pence per share) after accounting for a dividend of 2.50 pence per share which was paid on 31 December 2014 to shareholders on the register as at 5 December 2014.

Before taking account of the dividend, the Company's NAV rose by 1.65 pence per share or 2.36 per cent. over the 3 months since 30 September 2014 as a result of an increase in investment valuations and disposals (capital uplift of 1.07 pence per share) and net revenue return (0.58 pence per share).
