TAVISTOCK INVESTMENTS PLC
UNAUDITED INTERIM ACCOUNTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
On the 28th November 2016, the Company announced that it had received all necessary approvals from the Financial Conduct Authority to enable it to complete the acquisition of Price Bailey Financial Services Limited, referred to in more detail below, and having now completed that transaction, I am pleased to report on the considerable progress that the Company has made during the six-month period to 30 September 2016.
Tavistock Investments is, at heart, an investment management business that has established its own distribution channel through the selective acquisition of five financial advisory businesses. These advisory businesses collectively service over 70,000 retail clients throughout the UK and each business is trading profitably.
The profitability of the Group's advisory operations, as a whole, was greatly enhanced by the acquisition of Abacus Associates Financial Services Ltd, in April 2016. The Group then employed a specialist recruitment manager to augment the organic growth of the advisory businesses and, during the brief period under review, the number of advisers within Abacus has grown by over 45% to 65.
Advisory profitability has been further enhanced after the end of the period under review, by the acquisition of the multi-award winning business Price Bailey Financial Services Limited, in November 2016. This acquisition has the added strategic benefit of enabling the Group to offer its investment management services to a new audience of higher net worth clients.
FUM (funds under management) have more than doubled over the last year to GBP690 million, with GBP540 million being managed on a discretionary basis.
Tavistock Wealth, the Group's investment management business also trades profitably and despite turbulent market conditions following the BREXIT vote, Donald Trump's election, the continued weakening of sterling and a major sell off in bond markets, Tavistock Wealth's range of risk progressive model portfolios has continued to perform well.
Having established a successful two-year track-record managing assets for clients of the Group's advisory businesses, the Group is now investing in the personnel and marketing to offer Tavistock Wealth's services to firms outside of the Group. Whilst it is still too early to have reaped rewards from this investment, early indications are most encouraging.

As can be seen from the table above, with an increase in gross revenues of just 6%, from GBP15.9 million in the equivalent period last year to GBP16.9 million in the period under review, adjusted EBITDA profits have improved by GBP172k, from a loss of GBP63k in the equivalent period last year to a profit of GBP109k this time. The reported loss from operations fell by GBP134k, or 16%, from GBP822k in the equivalent period last year to GBP688k in the period under review. At 30 September 2016, the Group had net assets of GBP14.91 million (30 September 2015: GBP10.33 million) which included cash resources of GBP3.8 million (30 September 2015: GBP4 million).
The Future
The Board's strategy is to focus on the organic development of the business and to make selected strategic acquisitions where considered appropriate.
In this regard, the Board will continue to focus on improving the operational efficiency of the Group's existing businesses, removing cost and reducing risk where possible. We will also grow the advisory businesses through additional recruitment and the wealth management business by increasing the level of funds managed on a discretionary basis. This will be achieved both within the Group and by offering our investment management services to outside firms.
It remains our objective to introduce a dividend stream for the benefit of the Company's shareholders at the earliest opportunity. However, in light of the heavy investment on recruitment and external business development, the earliest opportunity would now appear to be during the next financial year.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome once again the new members of our senior management team and to acknowledge and thank all of our staff for the considerable efforts that they have continued to make. I look forward to updating shareholders on further progress in due course.
