Investment performance 
At 31 January 2012 the NAV of the VCT was 92.4p, which compares to 92.9p at 31 
October 2011. The performance of the VCT has been relatively stable in the 
period under review and there have been no valuation movements in the unquoted 
portfolio. This movement in NAV reflects the standard running costs of the VCT. 
 
Having reached the level of invested funds required by HMRC, we have shifted our 
focus to monitoring existing portfolio companies, alongside giving them support 
with advice and funding. During the period under review, Titan 3 made four 
follow-on investments into 10CMS ( GBP250,000), Mi-Pay ( GBP179,000), PrismaStar 
( GBP124,000) and Phase Vision ( GBP91,000). 
 
The total value of the investment portfolio at 31 January 2012 was  GBP15.1 
million. By value, 76.8% of the Company's net assets are in unquoted 
investments, 2.0% in AIM-quoted investments and 18.4% in Octopus OEICS, leaving 
2.8% currently in cash or cash equivalents, together with debtors and creditors.
