Progress during the period

There  was a 1.2% decrease in net asset value per Ordinary share from 77.0p  per
share  at  31  January 2008 to 76.1p per share at 30 April  2008.  As  has  been
experienced  with other VCTs during the closed period prior to  the  preliminary
announcement of the results the share price suffered an exceptional discount  to
the  NAV which is reflected in the figure of 46.0p for 30 April 2008. On 23  May
2008 the Board approved the buy-back of a number of shares at 68.3p per share in
line  with its buy-back policy which aims to maintain a discount of 10%  to  the
NAV.

At  30 April 2008 the portfolio consisted of 23 companies diversified across the
health sector and at different stages of development. Of these companies, 12 are
quoted and 11 are unquoted.

�676,439  was invested during the period from 1 February 2008 to 30 April  2008.
Approximately  63%  of  these funds were invested in  a  new  unquoted  company,
Population  Genetics  Technologies Ltd, and a new quoted  investment,  CustomVis
plc.  The  balance  was applied to follow-on investments in  existing  companies
Altacor Ltd and Maelor plc. Maelor plc has changed its name to IS Pharma plc.

A new Board member was appointed in April when Peter Arthur became a Director of
the  Fund. Peter has extensive experience in institutional and investment  trust
businesses, and is currently Chairman of an AIM VCT and an Investment Trust.
