Chairman's Statement
I'm delighted to report a solid set of results for the first half of 2017. Trading in Impetus Automotive was very strong, with performance in Shire in line with our expectations. Net assets per share have once again risen to a new record of GBP6.23* (30 June 2016: GBP5.76, 31 December 2016: GBP6.17). We look forward to continuing progress in the remainder of 2017.
David Buchler
Chairman
21 September 2017
*Net assets attributable to owners of the parent company divided by total number of ordinary shares outstanding at the reporting date

Chief Executive's Statement
An excellent performance in our automotive consulting business, Impetus, was the defining event of the first half of 2017. Shire and SDS met our expectations for the period, although they did not perform as well as in
the same period in 2016. The performance of each of the Group's segments is set out below.
Food manufacturing
This segment comprises Shire Foods Limited ("Shire"), the Group's 80%-owned frozen pie and pasty manufacturing business, which was acquired in 2011. The company employs approximately 110 people and is based in Leamington Spa, United Kingdom.
The depreciation of sterling following the Brexit vote in June 2016 led to a rise in raw material prices in the second half in 2016, which reduced Shire's operating margin. As expected, Shire continued to suffer from margin pressure in the first half of 2017. Although first-half revenues of GBP6.28 million were in fact just ahead of the same period in 2016, there was a loss before tax and intra-Group management and interest charges** of GBP0.24 million (30 June 2016: GBP6.19 million and profit GBP0.13 million; 31 December 2016 GBP15.19 million, profit GBP1.15 million). Loss before tax was GBP0.25 million (30 June 2016: profit GBP0.1 million, 31 December 2016: profit GBP0.91 million) - with the difference being intra-group interest and management charges. Shire's revenues are weighted towards the colder winter months, affecting the timing of profitability. We therefore expect that Shire's performance will improve in the second half of 2017.
In 2017 Shire successfully introduced new product with existing customers as part of the strategy to widen its product offering. In addition, we remain committed to winning new accounts in both retail and foodservice. Shire remains capable of delivering more both operationally and financially and we are continually looking at ways to utilise manufacturing capacity more efficiently.
Automotive Consulting
This segment comprises Impetus Automotive Limited ("Impetus"), which was acquired in March 2015 and is now approximately 83%-owned by the Group. Impetus offers services to improve the effectiveness of the sales and after-sales networks of automotive manufacturers, including the provision of outsourced training services, as well as providing research-based industry insight. The company employs approximately 400 people and is headquartered in Warwick, United Kingdom.
For the 6 months to 30 June 2017 revenues and profit before tax and intra-Group interest and management charges** were GBP12.16 million and GBP1.54 million respectively (30 June 2016: GBP8.16 million, profit GBP0.52 million; year to 31 December 2016: GBP17.37 million, profit GBP1.49 million). Profit before tax was GBP1.37 million (30 June 2016: GBP0.34 million, year to 31 December 2016: GBP1.11 million) - with the difference being intra-group interest and management charges.
The increased revenue and profit compared to 2016 reflects the underlying growth in Impetus's business, as well as the commencement in April of a single large contract to operate a vehicle manufacturer's training centre. We have successfully managed the transition of a large number of staff from the previous supplier under that contract and, in conjunction with the client, are part way through a process of improving both the operational performance and measurement criteria relating to training activities.
Changing vehicle technology means that the pace of change in the automotive sector is significant and we think this will present opportunities for Impetus as clients work with us to refine their distribution and after-sales strategies.
Security solutions
Sira Defence and Security Limited ("SDS"), our security solutions business delivered a satisfactory performance, with revenue of GBP0.1 million (30 June 2016: GBP0.17 million, 31 December 2016: GBP0.38 million). As a consequence of the reduced revenues, the business made a small loss before tax of GBP0.03 million (30 June 2016: profit GBP0.06 million, year to 31 December 2016: GBP0.16 million).
Further segmental information is set out in the financial review below and in note 2.
Purchase of own shares
During the period the Group acquired 10,000 shares for treasury for a total consideration of GBP0.05 million. The aggregate cost of shares purchased as of 30 June 2017 totals GBP5.99 million.
Acquisitions and future strategy
Deal flow was relatively subdued during the first half of 2017 although in the second quarter there were some signs of increased distress in those companies dependent upon imported goods and in consumer-facing businesses such as in the casual dining sector. The challenge, as ever, is to determine which opportunities are capable of turnaround and those which are more realistically best avoided.
Our existing portfolio is well placed to adapt to a changing U.K. economy, but the dedication and commitment of the management and staff at Shire, Impetus and SDS, is a prerequisite to ensuring continued growth. I am very grateful for their support and confidence in us.
As a Group, Volvere and its team are strong and we are well placed to capitalise on further opportunities as they arise.

Financial Review
This financial review covers the Group's performance during the period ended 30 June 2017. It should be read in conjunction with the Chairman's and Chief Executive's Statements.
Overview
The Group's revenue from continuing operations for the period was GBP18.54 million compared to GBP14.54 million for the period to 30 June 2016 (31 December 2016: GBP32.96 million). The increase in the first half of 2017 is due to growth in Impetus arising principally from the commencement of a large contract to provide training services from 1 April as well as growth in other areas of the business
Group profit before tax from continuing operations was GBP0.76 million (30 June 2016: GBP0.25 million, year to 31 December 2016: GBP1.98 million). The increase compared to the same period last year reflects the growth in Impetus, offset by reduced comparable results from Shire and SDS.
Further comment on each segment is set out below and detailed information about the Group's segments is set out in note 2 to these interim results, which should be read in conjunction with this financial review.
Automotive Consulting
Impetus has been a member of the Group since March 2015. A summary of its recent financial performance is set out in Table A below.

The revenue growth against the comparable period is due partly to the commencement of the contract noted above. However, combined other activities grew by just under 20% too, which was very pleasing. The combined effects of these significantly increased profitability by more than GBP1 million in the period.
During the period the Group charged Impetus GBP132,000 for management services and interest of GBP35,000 on Group loans. At the period end loans outstanding to the Group amounted to GBP1.24 million (30 June 2016: GBP1.27 million, 31 December 2016: GBP0.89 million), with the increase since the year end being due principally to the working capital requirements associated with revenue growth. At the date of this report, loans outstanding to the Group were GBP0.69 million, following net repayments of GBP0.55 million since 30 June.
Security solutions
The performance of SDS was below the prior comparable period, with lower revenue of GBP0.1 million (30 June 2016: GBP0.17 million, 31 December 2016: GBP0.38 million). As a result of the reduced revenue, SDS made a small loss before tax of GBP0.03 million (30 June 2016: profit GBP0.06 million, 31 December 2016: profit GBP0.16 million). No Group loans were outstanding at the period end (30 June 2016: GBPnil, 31 December 2016: GBPnil).
Food manufacturing

Shire's revenue was slightly ahead of the same period in 2016 but margins were lower partly because of the impact of sterling's devaluation. Although mitigation steps were taken to reduce the impact, by increasing prices and taking on further work from customers, this was effective on a progressive basis through the period.
At 30 June 2017, Shire's remaining Group loans had all been repaid. We expect to make further loans to Shire to meet its seasonal stock-build during the winter period, though at the date of this report no further such loans had been made. The equity investment and related intellectual property investments made of GBP0.53 million and GBP0.44 million respectively, brings the Group's total amount invested (excluding loans) to GBP0.97 million.
Shire's unaudited net assets at the period end amounted to GBP5.39 million (30 June 2016: GBP4.97 million; 31 December 2016: GBP5.72 million), of which 20% is attributable to non-controlling interests.
Investment revenues and other gains and losses
The Group purchased available-for-sale investments during the period as part of its treasury management policy but no income arose in the period. Income in the prior periods related to investments disposed of in December 2016.
Statement of financial position
Cash
Cash at the period end was GBP14.36 million (30 June 2016: GBP13.99 million, 31 December 2016: GBP20.06 million). The reduction in cash compared to the end of 2016 was due to the purchase of available-for-sale investments. Details of cash movements are shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Available-for-sale investments
At the period end the Group had available-for-sale investments with a market value of GBP6.16 million (30 June 2016: GBP4.50 million, 31 December 2016: GBPnil) with a base cost of GBP6.26 million. The unrealised loss has been dealt with through reserves, as set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
In line with the Group's treasury management policies and pending investment in other acquisitions, the Group continues to consider short-term investments where there is the opportunity for attractive returns.
Earnings per share and share capital
Total basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share (which are from continuing operations) were 8.2 pence (30 June 2016: 2.4 pence; year ended 31 December 2016: 32.6 pence).
Hedging
It is not the Group's policy to enter into derivative instruments to hedge interest rate or foreign exchange risk.
Risk factors
The Company and Group face a number of specific business risks that could affect the Company's or Group's success. The Company invests in distressed businesses and securities, which by their nature, often carry a higher degree of risk than those that are not distressed.
The Group's businesses are principally engaged in the provision of services that are dependent on the continued employment of the Group's employees and availability of suitable, profitable workload. Also, in the automotive consulting and food manufacturing segments, there is a dependency on a small number of customers and a reduction in the volume or range of products or services supplied to those customers or the loss of any one of them could impact the Group materially.
In addition, the food manufacturing segment is exposed to raw material and commodity cost increases and is dependent on the availability of credit facilities on appropriate terms from lenders and suppliers as well as being dependent on the reliability and performance of the plant and equipment used in the business. Failure or unreliability of key plant or equipment could be material in terms of lost production output or other losses arising from non-supply of products and there is the risk that any or all of the costs, timescales or the non-availability of funding required to enable rectification, would render the segment unviable, with a material effect on the Group.
Key performance indicators ("KPIs")
The Group uses key performance indicators suitable for the nature and size of the Group's businesses.
The key financial performance indicators are revenue, profit before tax and profit before tax, Group interest and management charges. The performance of the Group and the individual trading businesses against these KPIs, is outlined above and disclosed in note 2.
Internally, management uses a variety of non-financial KPIs as follows: in respect of the food manufacturing segment order intake, manufacturing output and sales are monitored weekly and reported monthly; order intake is reported monthly in respect of the security solutions segment; order intake and headcount are monitored in the Automotive Consulting segment.

3 Other gains and losses
The Company's unrealised treasury investment losses at the end of the period amounted GBP102,000 and these have been dealt with through other comprehensive income. In the prior comparable period a reversal of unrealised treasury investment losses occurred, giving rise to an unrealised gain of GBP188,000. This was dealt with through reserves, as set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
4 Finance expense/income
The Group's finance expense relates to the debt servicing costs in the Group's subsidiaries, Shire Foods Limited and Impetus Automotive Limited, offset by interest earned on the Group's cash deposits.

6 Share-based payment
During the prior period the Group's subsidiary, Impetus Automotive Limited, issued shares to certain management of that business. An independent valuation of the shares issued was undertaken and the share-based payment charge reflects that valuation. The issue of shares in Impetus resulted in an increase in non-controlling interests, which are set out in note 7.
7 Non-controlling interests
The non-controlling interests of GBP1.54 million relate to the net assets attributable to the shares not held by the Group at 30 June 2017 in the following subsidiary undertakings:

Impetus Automotive Limited 388 67 205

========= ========= ============
The Group now owns approximately 83% (previously 79%) of Impetus, following the cancellation of certain management shares during the second half of 2016.
8 Purchase of own shares
The Company acquired 10,000 of its own Ordinary shares during the period (30 June and 31 December 2016: nil) for a consideration of GBP54,000. For reference, the total number of Ordinary shares held in treasury is 2,131,116 and the number of shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, at the period end was 4,075,958 (30 June and 31 December 2016: 4,085,958).
