TIDMJLG JUST LOANS PLC / JUST LOANS PLC : Interim Accounts . Processed and transmitted by Nasdaq Corporate Solutions. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. THE JUST LOANS GROUP PLC CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT For the Unaudited Interim condensed financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2017 OVERVIEW The Just Loans Group Plc ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group") provide Finance Facilities to Small and Medium Enterprises that struggle to obtain traditional sources of funding for a variety of reasons. The Group is based in the United Kingdom and all entities have been incorporated in the United Kingdom. The Company is a public limited company and its shares are listed on the Emerging Companies market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange and the third market of Vienna Stock Exchnage.The Group also have debentures that are listed on the Cyprus Stock Exchange. In June 2016 the UK voted in a referendum to leave the EU - the term 'Brexit' was adopted. We live in uncertain times, Brexit, political upheaval in the UK, USA and elsewhere in the world; but the World of The Just Loans Group remains constant. The Company and the Group currently only operates in the United Kingdom and deal exclusively with the exciting and growing SME market. FINANCIAL RESULTS The unaudited financial results for the period to 30 June 2017 show an operating loss of GBP1,738k; earnings per share are negative, being GBP0.062p. Included within these financial results are GBP149k of the Group's share of early stage losses from an investment in an associate company. The associate is progressing well and should produce significant profits in subsequent years. The results also include exceptional costs of GBP74,000 in respect of costs of raising additional funds. CASH FLOW AND FUNDING In order for the Group to meet its growth targets it is necessary to raise the funds to be lent out. The Group signed a GBP10m facility with the US fund manager SQN Capital Management in December 15. This facility has now been drawn down fully. In July 2017, the Group signed a facility with SQN Secured Income Fund for a further GBP10M facility allowing the Group to drawdown GBP2M per month. The Group has utilised GBP4M of this facility, drawing down GBP2M in July and August. This institutional fundraising is in addition to the continued fund raising from the sale of debenture securities which are traded on the Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock. In addition, at the end of 2016, The Company signed a facility agreement with an institution, who are looking to raise GBP50Million via a Bond issue designed for institutional Investors. The proceeds of this Bond issue will be loaned to the Company and the Bond issue is secured on a basket of loan facilities of the Company. The processes and procedures of Just Cash Flow were rated by an independent rating authority for the purpose of the Bond which was awarded an Investment Grade A with stable outlook. To date the company has received GBP13.3M of which GBP9.0m was received in September. The Group is confident that further funding will be made available from SQN and the other institutional funder but the directors continue to source additional funding from other institutional investors which will enable the Group to broaden its product range for the SME market. On 14 February 2017,the Group completed a debt for equity swap. The Group issued 3,200,000 new shares to replace debt valued at GBP4,480,000. The shares were valued at GBP1.40 per share OUTLOOK The development of our proprietary "Propensity" lending process is now complete as is the core of our proprietary "AlfiLMS" IT system. The AlfiLMS system will continue to evolve with the addition of new Fintech systems that become available, and / or are upgraded, in order to ensure that our system remains one of the most advanced customer acquisition and management systems in operation. The second half of the financial year has started well and the new institutional funding will enable the Group's loan book to reach the critical mass required for the Group to start making profit. The additional funding will also enable the Group to broaden its product range for UK SMEs. There are also plans for the Group to open in other selected European markets as the opportunities arise but this will be financed in local currency in order to reduce any foreign exchange risks. Sir Eric Peacock Chairman 27 September 2017 The Directors of the Issuer accept responsibility for this announcement.
