Robsy,

thank you for raising Uniphy and also good to know that you got an answer to your question.

It does look interesting - the website is very slick and the board look to be very impressive. In the sense that I don't see them being involved unless there is big potential. Whether they are close to realising that, or ever will is not clear to me. There is not a lot of depth to the information on the website - it's not possible to tell how far along the development they are. The potential certainly looks to be big. The collaboration with Hyundai, whatever that means, looks to be interesting as well. Overall I get the feeling that the technology is interesting enough for some big players to be involved but they are just at the start of the road to commercialising it. So risks are high, but its also when the greatest rewards tend to be made if it comes off.

I had a quick look on companies house - according to the latest results (to dec 21) they have 14 employees up from 10 the year before. They look to be burning through cash at quite a rate. And certainly have needed an injection of funds this year. Which may continue to be the case for some time. Looks to have been quite a lot of corporate activity in the last few months - so they may well have just pulled off a funding round and pulled in some new investors. Probably a very recent investment for MERC.

It's for this kind of investment that I hold shares in MERC so I'm pleased to see it and I'll be interested to see how it proceeds,

thanks,

Fair enough, but this is a share to trade and not hold forever. Buy low and sell for a profit. I just don't see the share price moving out of a range. The way they operate the business cast iron guarantees it. As soon as it hits the 30's it dives, following some news, fact or other.

Their track record in attitude to PI's has been less than brilliant but I swallowed my ire and bought a lot towards 20p and below a while back - no regrets from me. The price was too attractive.

I hope they realise that PI's matter especially if they want a share price that reflects the value. Ignore the wider shareholder base and it will cost them in a discounted share price.

Also, supporting the regions attracted me. London/Ox/Cambs always get the lions share when there is talent and drive elsewhere that needs a hand.

Too right.
I didn't paricipate in the fundraising at 46p that saw the share price fall to about 20p in very short order.
I was around when the share options lapsed, so they just reissued them. That was Paul Daniels or even Houdini at their best!

The disappointment is the fact that when they sell down an investment and boast that they sold it for a 10 to 15 multiple, it seems to make little difference to tha share price or shareholder returns. On the other hand there are some who benefit.

I tried to ask the following question:
What are the returns for the investors in the funds relative to those of the shareholders? Strangely they ran out of time before they were able to answer it.
Hey ho...

That's no clearer. Where have you been the last 30 years if you think their pay is obscene?

Is your comparison of Mercia to crypto currency rocket science?

I'm getting a 3% dividend and have a very good paper gain despite MERC continuing to be priced at a huge discount to NAV.

It is difficult to assess the value of their portfolio companies, but they have a good track record when it comes to selling them.

Mercia is like a Crypto currency.
You cannot see what lies under the hood, or where it sits in a labyrinth of complexity that constitutes the accounts.
The only visibility is the poor performance of the share price and the obscene rewards to management.

I went to the virtual event a few weeks back and got particularly excited about one of the featured companies, Uniphy, who have developed a patent protected "smart surface enabling technology", that the impressive CEO claims could "make them a Unicorn plus in a short space of time".
Interested, I thought I'd see how much of this we own, so I checked-out if MERC has a direct B/S holding. I couldn't find any reference to it as a direct holding and neither can I see it as a direct holding in any of the VCT's that MERC manages, so I sent them an email asking for more info.

Hi
I am invested in Mercia and attended the investors presentation, which was very interesting.
One of the companies highlighted is Uniphy, my question is, Do we have a direct balance sheet investment in this company? I ask, because I can’t see that we do. It looks like a very interesting company so I’d be interested to know how we are involved with it , directly? or through the VCT’s or other funds?

I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks in advance.

No response as yet. Can anyone help me? Is two weeks a reasonable time to get a reply? Does anyone else have experience or pointers about how best to get info from companies because I have two or 3 stony silences from companies I am invested in
where I have unanswered questions. Is there a better approach?

I think we are all getting a bit jaded, well I know I am, but I do think the future looks better than the share price suggests. MERC has a lot of cash and a stated ambition to use it with M&A. I am hoping they can use it well to buy some more VCT assets on the cheap like they did before.
"Pearl clutching swoon" is excellent.

Take a look at the share price performance of IPO, GROW and get the idea of what could have happened so far. Very poor share price perfornance and discount to NAVs substantial etc etc. At least Merc has a better yield.
