These total returns are stated before the inclusion of VCT tax
reliefs which are designed to mitigate the higher risks and costs associated
with investing in smaller companies and the constraints of the VCT legislation.
The front end income tax reliefs available at the time of subscription were 20
per cent. prior to the end of the 2003/04 tax years, 40 per cent. in the 2004/
05 and 2005/06 tax years and 30 per cent. since then, so any adjusted
performance measure including this relief will vary depending on the date of
subscription. There is the additional benefit of receiving VCT dividends tax
free.

In the three months to 30 September 2013, Baronsmead VCT 5's net asset value
per share increased by 9.2 per cent. During the quarter, the Company's
investment portfolio (i.e. excluding cash) increased by 10.7 per cent. with the
quoted portfolio (AiM, listed and collective investments) increasing in value

The Company's net assets as at 30 September 2013 were £34.21 million. This
figure takes account of the valuation of the Company's investments as at 30
September 2013 and is stated after the payment of the interim dividend of 2.0p
per share paid on 20 September 2013 (£1 million).
