Half-yearly Report
Unicorn AIM VCT plc ("the Company")
Half-Yearly Report for the six months ended 31 March 2010
Investment Objective
The objective of the Company is to provide Shareholders with an attractive
return from a diversified portfolio of investments, predominantly in the shares
of AIM quoted companies, by maximising the stream of dividend distributions to
Shareholders from the income and capital gains generated by the portfolio.
It is also the objective that the Company should continue to qualify as a
Venture Capital Trust, so that Shareholders benefit from the taxation
advantages that this brings. To achieve this at least 70% of the Company's
total assets are to be invested in qualifying investments of which 30% by value
must be in ordinary shares carrying no preferential rights to dividends or
return of capital and no rights to redemption.
Venture Capital Trust Status
The Company has satisfied the requirements for approval as a Venture Capital
Trust (VCT) under section 274 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA). It is the
Directors' intention to continue to conduct the business of the Company so as
to maintain compliance with that section.
Investment Policy
In order to achieve the Company's Investment Objective, the Board has agreed an
Investment Policy which requires the Investment Manager to identify and invest
in a diversified portfolio, predominantly of VCT qualifying companies quoted on
AIM that display a majority of the following characteristics:
- experienced and well-motivated management;
- products and services supplying growing markets;
- sound operational and financial controls; and
- good cash generation to finance development allied with a progressive
dividend policy.
Asset allocation and risk diversification policies, including maximum
exposures, are to an extent governed by prevailing VCT legislation. Specific
conditions for HMRC approval of VCTs include the requirement that no single
holding may represent more than 15% (by value) of the Company's investments, at
the date of that investment.
The Investment Manager is responsible for managing sector and stock specific
risk and the Board does not impose formal limits in respect of such exposures.
However, in order to maintain compliance with HMRC rules and to ensure that an
appropriate spread of investment risk is achieved, the Board receives and
reviews comprehensive reports from the Investment Manager and the Administrator
on a regular basis. When the Investment Manager proposes to make an investment
in an unquoted company, the prior approval of the Board is required.
Where capital is available for investment while awaiting suitable VCT
qualifying opportunities, or in excess of the 70% VCT qualification threshold,
it may be invested in collective investment funds or in non-qualifying shares
and securities in smaller listed UK companies.
To date the Company has operated without recourse to borrowing. The Board may
however consider the possibility of introducing modest levels of gearing up to
a maximum of 20% of net assets, should circumstances suggest that such action
is in the interests of shareholders.
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the Half-Yearly Report of the Company for the six
months ended 31 March 2010. The share class consolidation and merger with
Unicorn AIM VCT II plc was successfully completed in the period. Further
details of how the merger was undertaken are contained in Note 8 to the
Accounts below. The merger has resulted in the Company becoming the largest
AIM-based VCT in the market, with net assets as at 31 March 2010 of £58m.
Review of performance
The period under review witnessed the start of a weak economic recovery, with
the Treasury announcing that Britain had officially emerged from recession
during the last three months of 2009. The announcement brought to an end six
consecutive quarters of economic contraction and although the recovery remains
at an early stage, there is increasing evidence that the Bank of England's
policy of maintaining very low interest rates and the injection of £200bn of
additional liquidity into the financial system (quantitative easing) is having
a positive effect.
As is often the case, the stock market anticipated the change in economic
fortune and continued to recover strongly from the lows reached in March 2009.
The rebound, initially led by gains in financially distressed companies, which
the market had effectively priced for failure, has now become much more broadly
based.
In the six month period to the end of March 2010, the FTSE All-Share Index rose
by 12.2% on a total returns basis, while the FTSE AIM All-Share Index
registered a gain of 9.5%.
The Company's investment portfolio also performed quite well despite suffering
a small number of stock specific setbacks. Given the recent consolidation of
five different share classes, it is not practical to make meaningful
performance comparisons, however, the equity value of the combined investment
portfolios rose by 6.9% overall during the period.
The net assets of the Company as at 31 March 2010 were £58m, which is almost
unchanged from the combined net asset figure for the five different share
classes as at 30 September 2009. During this six month period, across the two
VCTs a total of £2.8m was paid to shareholders by way of dividends, a further £
244,000 spent on share buybacks at an average discount of 24.1%, while the
total cost of the merger absorbed £310,000. If these figures were to be added
back then the total net assets of the enlarged Company would have shown an
increase of 5.8% over the period.
Over the six months there was a net gain on investments of £3.1 million and the
total gain on ordinary activities after taxation was £2.8 million, the
equivalent of 6.6 pence per share. The loss on the revenue account was £
109,000.
Dividends
The Board remains committed to a policy of maximising the stream of dividend
distributions to shareholders from the income and capital gains generated by
the portfolio. Prior to the merger, shareholders across the two VCTs received
more than £20m in tax free dividend distributions. The Board will next consider
the payment of a dividend when reviewing the Annual Report and Accounts after
the end of the current financial year.
Investments
The Mining and Oil & Gas sectors, which together account for over 35% of the
FTSE AIM All-Share Index, delivered strong returns over the past six months as
energy and metals prices rose in response to increased global demand. The
portfolio does not include investments in companies that operate in these areas
of the market since they typically do not meet the criteria for VCT
qualification. Despite this significant underweighting and disappointments from
a small number of holdings, the overall performance of the portfolio was
encouraging.
As the economy slowly recovers from the deepest and longest recession of the
past sixty years, it is particularly pleasing to draw attention to companies
within the portfolio, which have grown successfully despite the downturn.
Abcam (+40%) - Abcam is one of the world's leading manufacturers and
distributors of therapeutic antibodies to the global pharmaceutical research
market and has grown to be the fund's largest holding. During the period, Abcam
demonstrated the value of operating in a high growth, high value, niche market
by once again delivering results which were substantially above market
expectations. The share price has also been consistently strong, with the
shares ending the period at an all time high, valuing the business at more than
£450m. Your Investment Manager continues to adopt a prudent approach to
portfolio risk management and a proportion of the holding in Abcam was sold in
the period realising proceeds of £1.1m and a capital gain of almost £1m.
Following this partial disposal, along with a series of earlier sales, the
investment in Abcam accounted for 11.7% of the Company's total assets at the
period end.
Animalcare (+40%) - Animalcare is a manufacturer and supplier of pharmaceutical
and other premium products to the veterinary and animal livestock sectors. For
the six months to 31 December 2009, the Board of Animalcare announced a revenue
increase of 15% and adjusted operating profits growth of 62%. The business is
enjoying a period of strong growth as it successfully develops and sells drugs
for use in the companion animal market. This growth was more than sufficient to
compensate for what management describe as a challenging market for the
company's livestock products.
SnackTime (+38%) - Following a series of acquisitions, combined with strong organic
growth, SnackTime has rapidly become one of the UK's largest national operators of
snack and chilled drink vending machines. In the six month period to the end of
September 2009, the company announced growth in turnover of 16%, which translated
into a near fivefold increase in profits before tax. At the end of 2009, SnackTime
successfully raised £5.8m through an equity placing in order to fund further acquisitions.
At the other end of the spectrum, there were inevitably some investee companies
which struggled to cope with the impact of the recession.
Hexagon Human Capital (-100%) - Hexagon was one of the UK's leading providers
of executive search and senior interim management. The business initially grew
rapidly through acquisition, but went into the economic downturn with high
levels of debt. Strenuous efforts were made by a new management team in an
attempt to restructure the balance sheet, but these efforts ultimately failed
to satisfy creditors and administrators were appointed to the business in March
2010.
Cohort (-45%) - In December 2009, Cohort, technology consultants primarily to
the defence sector, issued a surprise profit warning relating to revenue
overstatements at one of its subsidiaries dating back to April 2008. The Cohort
share price fell by 45% as a result. Since this announcement, the management
team conducted a thorough review of all three operating subsidiaries and
implemented a number of improvements designed to prevent a recurrence of such
accounting shortcomings. After the period end, Cohort announced that it had won
new contracts worth over £60m in total and, encouragingly, the share price has
begun to recover.
Augean (-34%), Avingtrans (-24%), Driver Group (-42%), Hasgrove (-34%), Maxima
(-18%), Shieldtech (-41%), Universe Group (-43%) and Vindon Healthcare (-32%)
have all suffered to a greater or lesser extent from a decline in demand for
their products or services. In the main, management teams responded swiftly to
deteriorating trading conditions by cutting costs, although it is likely that
some may have underestimated the length and depth of the recession. Your
Investment Manager believes that these are fundamentally sound businesses and
is confident that in most cases, value can be restored.
In contrast, a number of holdings registered significant share price gains
during the period under review including; Access Intelligence (+23%),
EG Solutions (+85%), Huveaux (+42%) and Sanderson Group (+77%). All these
businesses suffered significant share price declines during the downturn,
but each has since been able to demonstrate resilience. Evidence of stabilisation
in underlying trading combined with significant new contract wins have been key
factors driving recovery in market valuations.
Green Compliance was the only new VCT qualifying investment made in the period.
Green Compliance was effectively a cash shell which raised almost £10m from
institutional shareholders to fund an acquisition strategy in the 'blue collar'
compliance sector. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying businesses that
offer specialist compliance services related to water hygiene, fire and pest control.
In March 2010, the company announced the acquisition of Waterchem, a specialist
provider of water hygiene and water treatment services principally to facilities
management companies. The Chief Executive of Green Compliance is John Prowse,
the former Managing Director of Connaught Plc's highly successful compliance division.
Further VCT qualifying investments were made in Access Intelligence, Kiotech
and Tristel as all three businesses are considered by the Manager to offer
superior growth prospects.
The qualifying investment in Melorio was disposed of in its entirety during the
period, realising a small capital gain.
Three companies, Essentially Group, Glisten and Supporta, received takeover
approaches in the six months to 31 March 2010 each at a substantial premium to
their share prices immediately prior to the bid approaches. In the case of
Essentially Group, consideration was received in the form of Chime
Communications shares, whilst Supporta was acquired by Mears Group in an all
share transaction. These holdings have therefore been retained as VCT
qualifying investments. After the period end, the investment in Glisten was
sold for cash to Raisio, a Finnish food manufacturer, realising a capital gain
of £1.1m.
Three new investments were made for the non-qualifying portfolio in the period,
Caretech, Morson and Renew Holdings. Caretech is a provider of social care
services, Morson is the UK's leading provider of technical engineering
personnel, while Renew Holdings is a specialist engineering and construction
services group. Morson and Renew have been included in the portfolio because
they offer attractive recovery prospects together with healthy, sustainable
dividend yields, while Caretech has been selected for its defensive
characteristics, consistent track record and prospects of generating superior
long-term capital growth.
In aggregate, the Fund remains well above the VCT qualifying threshold required
by HM Revenue & Customs, with approximately 83% of the Company's total assets
being invested in VCT qualifying companies. All other HM Revenue & Customs
tests have been complied with and your Board has been advised that the Company
has maintained its venture capital trust status.
A full list of all the qualifying investments held in all Funds at the period
end is included below.
Share buybacks
Share buybacks totalling £244,000 were made across the two VCTs during the
period. The Board believes that a share buyback facility can act as an
effective discount control measure and is of benefit to shareholders generally.
The Board intends to maintain the share buyback facility following the recent
merger and is hopeful that this will assist in a progressive reduction in the
discount to net assets at which the shares have recently traded. Maintaining
the facility will be subject to a number of factors including; equity market
conditions, sector discounts and availability of capital.
Outlook
Prospects for the Alternative Investment Market seem to be improving. The
dominant Mining and Oil & Gas sectors continue to benefit from a significant
upswing in global demand for energy and basic materials. These sectors look set
to continue driving the strong recent performance of the FTSE AIM All-Share
Index. As noted earlier, VCT qualifying criteria effectively precludes
investment in companies operating in these sectors.
Clear evidence is starting to emerge, however, that more mainstream businesses
are also now recovering from the worst effects of recession. Demand for
products and services across a range of sectors is showing signs of picking up
and, combined with the benefits of cost-cutting carried out during the depth of
the downturn, means that smaller capitalised companies are well placed to
deliver meaningful and sustained earnings growth. The economic recovery
undoubtedly remains fragile, but businesses which are well managed, have strong
balance sheets and offer superior products and services into niche markets
should continue to prosper. These are exactly the type of businesses in which
your Investment Manager seeks to invest.
It is also possible that the positive effects of reduced competition, sterling
weakness and significant cost-cutting have been under-estimated, especially at
the smaller end of the quoted market and, if so, should result in enhanced
profit levels for some companies.
Conclusion
The Board is pleased with the progress of the Company, especially in view of
the significant changes undertaken during the period.
The performance track record of the various funds up to the date of the merger
is strong, with four out of five share classes in the top quartile of all
AIM-based VCTs with the fifth share class being second quartile (source:
Allenbridge). All five share classes have also outperformed the FTSE AIM
All-Share Index between their respective launch dates and the date of the
merger.
The benefits of the merger, including material cost savings, should become
increasingly apparent as we move into the second half of the Company's
financial year. I look forward to reporting more fully on these tangible
benefits in the Report & Accounts for the year ending 30 September 2010.
In the meantime, given the Company's strong cash position, your Investment
Manager will continue to seek out new investment opportunities which offer the
prospect of generating superior capital and revenue returns.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements
1. Principal accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the
period. Full details of principal accounting policies will be disclosed in the
Annual Report.
a) Basis of accounting
The unaudited results cover the six months to 31 March 2010 and have been
prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP), consistent
with the accounting policies set out in the statutory accounts for the year
ended 30 September 2009 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, 'Financial
Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts' ('the
SORP') issued by the Association of Investment Companies in January 2009.
The results for the 6 months ended 31 March 2010 reflect the activities of what
were previously the Ordinary Share Fund, the S2 Share Fund and the S3 Share
Fund of the Company, which were consolidated on 9 March 2010, for the whole
period. In addition, these results include the transfer of the assets and
liabilities of Unicorn AIM VCT II PLC to the Company, with effect from 9 March
2010. Results for the current period are reported for the one share class of
the enlarged VCT now in issue, namely Ordinary Shares. These were formerly the
S3 Shares of the Company, redesignated Ordinary Shares on 9 March 2010. Further
details are contained in note 8 below.
The comparatives reported in these half-yearly results reflect the activities
of what were previously the Ordinary Share Fund, the S2 Share Fund and the S3
Share Fund of the Company and are therefore as previously reported.
As a result of the Directors' decision to distribute capital profits by way of
a dividend, the Company revoked its investment company status as defined under
section 266 (3) of the Companies Act 1985, on 17 August 2004.
The half-yearly report has not been audited nor has it been reviewed by the
auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board (APB) guidance on Review of
Interim Financial Information.
b) Presentation of the Income Statement
In order to better reflect the activities of a VCT and in accordance with the
SORP, supplementary information which analyses the Income Statement between
items of a revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the Income
Statement. The revenue column of profit attributable to equity shareholders is
the measure the Directors believe appropriate in assessing the Company's
compliance with certain requirements set out in section 274 Income Tax Act
2007.
c) Investments
Investments are accounted for on a trade date basis.
All investments held by the Company are classified as "fair value through
profit and loss" as the Company's business is to invest in financial assets
with a view to profiting from their total return in the form of capital growth
and income. For investments actively traded in organised financial markets,
recognition and fair value is determined by reference to Stock Exchange market
trading rules and quoted bid prices at the close of business on the balance
sheet date.
Unquoted investments are valued by the Directors at 'fair value through profit
and loss'. Accordingly, in the absence of a market price, the Directors have
valued unquoted investments in accordance with International Private Equity
Venture Capital Valuation (IPEVCV) guidelines as updated in September 2009,
which have not materially changed the results reported last year.
All investments are held at the price of a recent investment for an appropriate
period where there is considered to have been no change in fair value. Where
such a basis is no longer considered appropriate, the following factors will be
considered:
(i) Where a value is indicated by a material arms-length transaction by an
independent third party in the shares of a company, this value will be used.
(ii) In the absence of i), and depending upon both the subsequent trading
performance and investment structure of an investee company, the valuation
basis will usually move to either:-
(a) an earnings multiple basis. The shares may be valued by applying a suitable
price-earnings ratio to that company's historic, current or forecast post-tax
earnings before interest and amortisation (the ratio used being based on a
comparable sector but the resulting value being adjusted to reflect points of
difference identified by the Investment Manager compared to the sector
including, inter alia, a lack of marketability).
Or:
(b) where a company's underperformance against plan indicates a diminution in the
value of the investment, provision against cost is made, as appropriate. Where
the value of an investment has fallen permanently below cost, the loss is
treated as a permanent impairment and as a realised loss, even though the
investment is still held. The Board assesses the portfolio for such investments
and, after agreement with the Investment Manager, will agree the values that
represent the extent to which an investment loss has become realised. This is
based upon an assessment of objective evidence of that investment's future
prospects, to determine whether there is potential for the investment to
recover in value.
(iii) Where an earnings multiple or cost less impairment basis is not appropriate and
overriding factors apply, discounted cash flow or net asset valuation bases may
be applied.
2. Income
Income includes £56,000 of contribution receivable from the Investment Manager
towards the Company's share of merger costs. The Investment Manager is due to
make a £100,000 contribution in total towards the merger costs. The balance of
£44,000 was due to shareholders in Unicorn AIM VCT II plc at the date of the
merger, so is not reported in this Company's Income Statement.
3. The Directors have charged 75% of the investment management fee to the capital
reserve.
4. Taxation
There is no tax charge for the period, as the Company has incurred taxable
losses.

8. Consolidation of Ordinary and S2 share classes and transfer of assets and
liabilities of Unicorn AIM VCT II plc
On 9 March 2010, the shares of the Ordinary Fund and S2 Fund of the Company
were consolidated with the S3 Fund Shares, by being converted into S3 Fund
shares on a relative net asset value basis. 15,094,686 Ordinary and S2 Shares
were left over from this conversion process, and re-designated as Deferred
Shares. These Deferred Shares were bought back by the Company for an aggregate
amount of 1p. The resultant 34,493,485 S3 shares in issue, being 4,958,036
already in issue plus 29,535,449 created by both conversions, were then
re-designated as Ordinary Shares. Following this consolidation and
redesignation, the assets and liabilities of Unicorn AIM VCT II plc were
transferred to the Company in exchange for the issue of a further 26,879,525
Ordinary Shares in the Company, at a total value of £24,669,000. Subsequently
and on the same day, Unicorn AIM VCT II plc was placed into members' voluntary
liquidation pursuant to a scheme of reconstruction under section 110 of the
Insolvency Act 1986.
The net asset values (NAV) of each Fund used for the purposes of conversion at
the calculation date of 8 March 2010, and the resultant conversion ratios into
