NBNK INVESTMENTS PLC
HALF YEARLY REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2014 (unaudited)
The report including the unaudited results for the period is as follows:
Company summary
The Company was originally established to create a new UK retail and SME bank through the acquisition of high quality banking assets facilitated by a substantial fundraising. Since the re-structure of the Company on 11 January 2013, the remit remains to continue the search for potential acquisition targets in the financial services sector, including in Continental Europe.
Chairman's review
There have been no acquisition developments to report during the first half of the year.
Crystal Amber Fund Limited has built a significant stake in the Company during the period (just over 26% at the end of July). I have met with the principals of Crystal Amber and - as is the case with all of our major shareholders - will continue to maintain contact so that I and Lord Brennan, my fellow director, remain in touch with shareholder sentiment.
Our policy continues to be to maintain the Company at minimal cost while we seek appropriate opportunities to make an acquisition in the financial services sector. Shareholders will be kept advised as and when there are developments to report.
Wilbur L. Ross, Jr.
Chairman
NBNK INVESTMENTS PLC
HALF YEARLY REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2014 (unaudited)
Business review
During the period, we continued to maintain the Company on the lowest possible cost base. The Company's share capital at 30 June 2014 was unchanged from that published in the Annual Report and Financial Statements to 31 December 2013 at 53,771,229 ordinary shares. The fully diluted share capital was also unchanged at 60,669,466. There have been no changes between 30 June and the date of this report.
As reported in the Chairman's Review, there has been no acquisition activity during the first half of the year.
Performance
At 30 June 2014, the Company's shares were trading at 46.0 pence per share. The Company had cash assets of GBP20,055,000 at the period end.
The Company reports a loss for the period of GBP102,000.
Dividend
The directors do not recommend an interim dividend on the ordinary shares for the six months to 30 June 2014.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risk for the Company is that its acquisition strategy might fail. If no successful acquisition has been achieved by 11 January 2016, the directors will review the position at that time and consider if it is appropriate to return unused funds to shareholders and/or to wind up the Company. The principal financial key performance indicator continues to be the rate at which the Company is spending the proceeds generated when it was listed on AIM and when the W L Ross and Co funds introduced additional capital in January 2013. Given the current status of the Company, cost control will continue to be crucial and the Company is being maintained at the lowest possible cost to shareholders. The directors are of the view that there are no meaningful non-financial KPIs since there is no current prospect for an acquisition.
Events after the balance sheet date
There have been no reportable events since 30 June 2014.
Related party transactions
In the opinion of the Board, the related parties are the directors. There were no related party transactions during the period, other than directors' remuneration and share based payments as outlined in notes 4 and 6 to the accounts.
On behalf of the Board
