Insurance Backed EIS Goldfinch Completion and Goldfinch Distribution

The FT Adviser even went as far to say ‘Could films present the next EIS solution?’ (FT Adviser 17.11.14).

70% of the invested amount is insured through a specialist media insurer direct with the Producer, and with investors claiming their 30% income tax relief on top of this investor's capital risk can be effectively reduced to zero.

The return for investors is estimated at 125% over three years, excluding tax relief.

SEIS companies can raise up to £150k with generous income tax, capital gains and inheritance tax relief for investors as in the summary below. We have a wide range of SEIS projects covering all the entertainment sectors, many genres, and a varying returns for investors.

■ All projects are chosen for their commercial promise and tangible end product; we do not create SEIS companies that are merely black holes and development funds.

■ Goldfinch’s wide range of SEIS companies means that there is not only something for all tastes, but that investors’ risk can be spread across many of them in a portfolio style approach.

■ Our SEIS companies either provide the full finance for smaller budget productions, or can be a part of a jigsaw of finance put together for a project that can include various soft money sources and private investors.

SEIS

Page 33: 22 Slides 12

As stated above our range of SEIS companies lends itself to a portfolio approach for investors or IFAs, however for those wishing to benefit from this approach but executed and managed by an experienced fund manager can now invest in our Goldfinch SEIS Fund managed by Kin Capital.

The main benefit of this as with normal SEIS investment is the 50% income tax relief and other tax benefits although the fund delivers this with a diverse portfolio of entertainment sector businesses. Other key features of our fund include:

■ Strong investment pipeline (adviser funded 34 SEIS projects in 2014)

■ Low investment minimum & costs relative to other SEIS Funds

■ Retail investors return of capital prioritised over other investors

It should also be noted that the fund will be allotting shares throughout the current tax year. It is therefore possible to invest and offset the income tax benefits against the 2014/15 tax year through the use of SEIS ‘carry back’. More information on how this is possible is available here on the gov.uk website; www.gov.uk/seed-enterprise-investment-scheme-background.

Section 12, MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 - SCOPE OF LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY, GIFTS

(1) Where a lasting power of attorney confers authority to make decisions about P's property and affairs, it does not authorise a donee (or, if more than one, any of them) to dispose of the donor's property by making gifts except to the extent permitted by subsection (2).

(2) The donee may make gifts• (a) on customary occasions to persons (including himself) who are related to or connected

with the donor, or

• (b) to any charity to whom the donor made or might have been expected to make gifts, if the value of each such gift is not unreasonable having regard to all the circumstances and, in particular, the size of the donor's estate.

(3) “Customary occasion” means—• (a) the occasion or anniversary of a birth, a marriage or the formation of a civil partnership,

or

• (b) any other occasion on which presents are customarily given within families or among friends or associates.

(4) Subsection (2) is subject to any conditions or restrictions in the instrument.

RESTORING BPR ON THE SALE OF A BUSINESS

• On sale, the proceeds will be in the estate of the client as BPR ‘shelter’ is lost.

• BPR can be ‘restored’ immediately by investing the proceeds in to BPR qualifying assets within three years, buying time to consider options and allowing significant amounts to be transferred into trust without lifetime IHT charges.

BUSINESS SALE DUE TO ILL HEALTH

• What if the client is forced to sell a BPR qualifying business as a result of a terminal or critical illness? The illness may significantly reduce life expectancy. While sale may qualify for Entrepreneurs Relief, any gains will be taxed at 10%*.

• An investment into an EIS offers a potential solution given it attracts BPR qualifying status after two years.

*Assumes sale qualifies for Entrepreneurs Relief at 10%.**Subject to meeting qualifying criteria.

DESIGNING A CLIENT RECOMMENDATION

Page 71: 22 Slides 12

71

DESIGNING A CLIENT RECOMMENDATION

OVERVIEW OF CLIENT OBJECTIVES

• Freedom from IHT in the near term

• Typically seeking capital preservation

• A desire to balance the need for access with the opportunity to achieve a real return

• Flexibility to accommodate a change in circumstances

• The ability to access capital, either as a lump sum or a regular ‘income’

Page 72: 22 Slides 12

72

DESIGNING A CLIENT RECOMMENDATION

BALANCING RISK WITH THE NEED FOR INVESTMENT RETURNS

• Many clients will be risk averse

• Diversification at an asset level can help manage specific risk

• Consider spreading the investment across a number of providers

• Important to achieve a ‘blend’ of liquidity options in order to allow the required level of access whilst also providing the potential for returns.

Page 73: 22 Slides 12

73

DESIGNING A CLIENT RECOMMENDATION

CONSIDERATIONS WHEN ASSESSING A CLIENT’S NEED FOR ACCESS

• Not all clients will have the same need for access

• Arranging a suitable contingency fund remove the need to redeem investments – at least in the short term

• A diversified portfolio can offer a range of access options

• High level of access can impact on potential returns

• Many clients who request higher levels of access rarely utilise it.

Page 74: 22 Slides 12

74

DESIGNING A CLIENT RECOMMENDATION

STRUCTURING THE INVESTMENT

Immediate:

• Review accumulation or income options

• Need to consider the client’s tax position

• Determine frequency of any withdrawals

• Should the application be in joint or single names

Future:

• Consider how the client’s circumstance may change over time

• Will this necessitate rebalancing a client’s portfolio?

• What are the costs and tax implications of making changes?

The attention of prospective investors is drawn to the fact that amounts invested in Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) Funds will be committed to investments which are of a long term and illiquid nature and are therefore not suitable for all investors. Neither the EIS Funds nor the companies in which they invest will be quoted on any regulated exchange or market and, accordingly, there will not be an established or ready market in participations in the EIS Funds or the underlying investments. An investment in the EIS Funds will therefore not be easily realisable before maturity.

This Presentation does not constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorised or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. It is the responsibility of each recipient (including those located outside the UK) to satisfy itself as to full compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant territory in connection with any application to participate in the EIS Funds including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consent and observing any other formality presented in such territory.

You should be aware that investment values and any income from them may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you originally invested.

They have raised over £200 million of funds in the tax-efficient investment space

Established in 2010, the founders have over 25 years experience investing in BPR and EIS qualifying companies; with a particular focus on EIS

Sector focus on renewable energy and infrastructure

Page 106: 22 Slides 12

EIS Tax Reliefs

106

1. Income tax relief

• Up to 30% income tax relief available on EIS investments of up to £1 million in any tax year

• Also available on £1 million carried back to the previous tax year

2. Unlimited Capital Gains Tax (CGT) deferral

• Gains can be deferred that crystallised 36 months prior and 12 months post investment in to the EIS

3. IHT shelter

• EIS companies qualify for Business Property Relief

• As long as the shares have been held for 2 out of the last 5 years, and at the time of death, the value of the EIS investment will be exempt from IHT

Page 107: 22 Slides 12

The Government Subsidy Gap

107

£626 million raised in the 13/14 tax year, with 62% going to renewable energy projects

Since 2011 the most popular EIS qualifying trade has been renewable energy – namely solar and anaerobic digestion

The Government offer favourable subsidies for the production of renewable energy

Budget changes state that any EIS company benefiting from a Government subsidy will no longer qualify under the EIS rules

£388 million opportunity – the ‘renewables gap’

The Government haven’t attacked renewables; by 2020 20% of UK energy consumption must come from renewable energy sources, and there must be a 34% reduction in UK CO2 emissions

Page 108: 22 Slides 12

The Government Subsidy Gap

108

Why were renewables so popular?

1. Known cost baseThe installation and operational costs are fairly well known from the outset

2. Proven technologyRenewable energy projects often involve well-established technology

3. Long term predictable revenue streamsThe Government subsidies allowed the EIS company to earn a long-term, RPI linked, predictable revenue stream, improving:

a) Valuations: Most providers valued these EIS companies on a discounted cash flow basis. The fact that there was strong visibility over future returns contributed to stable valuations.

b) Exit: Investors can exit their EIS investment after three years. To provide liquidity, the renewable energy assets have to be sold to a third party. Banks, pension funds and renewable energy companies, for example, were attracted to these assets because of the long-term predictable revenue streams that they generate.

The Mariana Water Turbine EIS

111

The Trade

EIS companies will own hydro-electric water turbines installed in the UK’s water pipe network

Co-operation of some of the largest water companies in the UK

The natural water pressure in the pipe turns a turbine to create electricity

20+ year PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) are in place which allow the host utility company to purchase the electricity produced. The energy will be 30% cheaper than buying it directly from the grid (7p per KWh)

In addition to the energy savings, the water company enjoys reduced carbon emissions and improved social and environmental impact

The EIS company enjoys a long-term, predictable revenue stream

The Mariana Water Turbine EIS

Does it plug the gap?

Proven technology – this technology has been around for many years and more than 20 active sites (with multiple turbines per site) are in place around Europe. It is simple technology which is easy to install and maintain

Non-weather dependent – unlike many forms of renewables our trade does not rely on certain weather conditions

Predictable revenue stream – the contractual agreement between the water company and the EIS company providers an RPI linked return over the long term. By removing the need to sell the power to the National Grid at a subsidised level, our trade will continue to qualify under EIS legislation

Credible counterparties – in selling the electricity output directly to the host utility companies, we will only be dealing with companies that are well established and of good credit quality

Not affected by power outages – electricity is still generated when there has been a power outage on the external grid network making the facility more resilient

THIS PRESENTATION IS INTENDED STRICTLY FOR AUTHORISED PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVISERS ONLY AND MUST NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE DISTRIBUTED TO ANY DIRECT INVESTORS.

The investments and opportunities featured in this presentation place investor’s capital at risk and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

Tax treatment may be subject to change and the value of the tax benefits in this presentation depends on the individual circumstances of each investor. The availability of tax reliefs also depends on the individual investee companies complying with regulations and maintaining their qualifying status for EIS/SEIS purposes. Neither past performance nor forecasts are reliable indicators of actual future results and should not therefore be relied upon.

Unquoted shares are likely to have significantly higher volatility and liquidity risks than other types of quoted shares.

IHT benefits of investing in EIS / SEIS companies

• Investments outside of IHT net if held for more than 2 years.

• This is due to Business Property Relief (BPR).

• The investor will still retain access (subject to liquidity) and control of the funds invested if needed.

• Various IHT planning opportunities (mostly asset backed).

HMRC Reviews & Budget Changes

• Broadly speaking Fund Managers will continue to build EIS portfolios that will be classed as either capital “preservation” or “growth/appreciation” but the type of business to be targeted will revert to the more conventional trading company and it will be evaluated on its risk and trading profile (is it profitable / cash generative), where it is on its valuation growth “curve”, time to and ease of exit.

• SEIS portfolios by the very nature of the target companies have to be focused on growth/ capital appreciation.

• Occasionally there are “hybrid” funds appearing offering investors the prospect of investing in both SEIS / EIS opportunities in the same tax year. NB the same portfolio company can be in receipt of both SEIS and EIS in the same tax year.

Page 133: 22 Slides 12

EIS MAGAZINE EVENT

Value Graph

Page 134: 22 Slides 12

EIS MAGAZINE EVENT

• Perceived to be more risky given nature and status of target companies and they are but:

• Risks need to be analysed, known and understood and then matched against potential upside.

• Risks within a Fund lie in the business risks inherent in the individual companies and the accompanying probabilities.

• The “upside” potential and time to “exit” depends on where the individual companies are on their growth curves.

Capital Appreciation Funds / High Growth Opportunities(typically with a technology-bias)

Page 135: 22 Slides 12

EIS MAGAZINE EVENT

Capital Appreciation Funds / High Growth Opportunities(typically with a technology-bias)

• Investors / advisers have no way of knowing anything about the type and stage of companies being invested in and depend on the expertise of the Fund Manager.

• Less understanding on the advisers’ part of the sector and type of target company leads to less inclination to recommend.

• The conundrum being that investors themselves want to support emerging UK-based companies and make a decent gain for so doing.

• So the more advisers know and understand about the portfolio composition, trading status, level of risk and how risk is being handled the more confident they are.

EIS / SEIS Investment Approach-Conclusions

• Working with knowledgeable specialists provides Fund Managers working for capital appreciation with a means of addressing higher levels of risk.

• Despite the risk, good and sustained performance from capital appreciation funds can be obtained.

• Investors like their money to be safe above all but are prepared to seek and support “spectacular” returns.
