Interim Management Statement

Unicorn AIM VCT plc

Interim Management Statement

For the period from 1 October 2011 to 31 December 2011

Introduction

The Company has prepared this Interim Management Statement (IMS) in accordance
with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Listing Authority. The IMS
covers the three month period ended 31 December 2011, together with relevant
information up to the date of publication.

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.

Performance

The final three months of 2011 was a difficult period for the Company in
relative performance terms, with the portfolio delivering a negative total
return of 6.1%.

As at 31 December 2011, the unaudited Net Asset Value (NAV) was 97.0 pence per
share, compared to an audited NAV of 103.34 pence per share as at 30 September
2011.

The Net Asset Value as at 31 January 2012, adjusted for the payment of
dividends is 93.2 pence per share.

The ongoing debt crisis and heightened concerns surrounding the strength and
sustainability of economic recovery was reflected in increasingly volatile
equity markets. In the face of this uncertainty, investors sought refuge in
larger quoted companies with highly liquid and tradable shares. This defensive
approach saw the main market deliver a strong finish to the year, whilst the
share prices of many smaller quoted companies continued to drift lower. The
FTSE 100 Index ended the three month period up 9.4% on a total return basis,
whilst the FTSE 250 Index gained by 3.5%. By contrast, the FTSE AIM AllShare
Index declined on a total return basis by almost 1% over the same period,
whilst the FTSE SmallCap Index fell by 3.5%.

Although there were a number of strong share price gains recorded by investee
companies including Accumuli (+22.6%), Avingtrans (+14.1%), Cohort (+13.9%),
IDOX (+9.0%) andScapa (+16.1%), these gains were insufficient to counter the
general de-rating of many smaller quoted companies experienced in the period.

Profit warnings issued by Green Compliance (-45.5%), Hasgrove (-28.7%), Mears
Group (-20.1%) and Mattioli Woods (-16.4%) triggered significant share price
declines in these investments, which accounted for over half of the total
negative contribution to NAV recorded during the quarter.

The value of the residual holding in Discover Leisure was written down to zero
after the company went into administration in October 2011.

Material Transactions

There were six material transactions during the period under review.

HML Holdings, a leading residential property management business, completed a
placing of new VCT qualifying shares in November 2011 in order to help fund the
acquisition of a complementary, privately owned, property management business
based in West London. Unicorn AIM VCT originally invested in HML in July 2007
and a further £83,000 of capital was committed in this secondary fundraising
round.

The non-qualifying holding in Renold, a manufacturer of industrial chain and
power transmission products, was added to in the period via a secondary market
purchase of stock at a total cost of almost £200,000.

The remaining non-qualifying holding in Parseq, a specialist in payments
processing software, was sold at a profit in the secondary market following a
take-over approach. The disposal realised £132,000 and crystallised a total
return on investment of £50,000 or 23.2%.

SSE, the utility company,was disposed of in the period, generating a 7.2% total
return and realising proceeds of £544,000.

The Company's remaining non-qualifying holding in Unicorn Outstanding British
Companies Fund, and a large proportion of theUnicorn UK Income Fund holding
were also sold in the period generating proceeds of £1.2m and an aggregate
capital gain of 29.6%.
