21 October 2021
Net Asset Value ("NAV") Update
The Directors and the Investment Manager of the Company, Seneca
Partners Limited ("Seneca"), have reviewed the valuation of the
Company's investment portfolios.
B Share NAV as at 15 October 2021
The unaudited NAV per B share as at 15 October 2021 was 102.3p,
an increase of 10.5p per B share from the audited NAV of 91.8p per
B share as at 31 December 2020 and a decrease of 2.3p from the
unaudited NAV of 104.6 per B share as at 30 June 2021.
The increase in B share NAV in the period from 1 January 2021 to
15 October 2021 was principally due to a net overall increase in
the value of the B share pool's AIM quoted investments offset by
the impact of the ordinary running costs of the Company. See table
below for more details.
The decrease in B share NAV in the period from 1 July 2021 to 15
October 2021 was principally due to the softening in the share
price of B share pool investee company, Polarean Imaging PLC
("Polarean"), in early October 2021 as a result of feedback from
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that the approval of
Polarean's New Drug Application for their drug-device combination
product requires a number of technical and manufacturing issues to
be addressed. Polarean's share price at 30 June 2021 was 92p and as
at 15 October 2021 stood at 67p (compared to an original cost of
60p per share).
Full details in relation to the B share pool's investment
portfolio as at 15 October 2021 are set out in the table below
along with the movement in carrying value between 1 January 2021
and 15 October 2021:
