Henry Angest, Chairman, said:
"Secure Trust Bank is successfully delivering the commitments made at the time of the flotation as evidenced by the significant progress in the first half of the year, with underlying pre-tax profits up by 50%. We have remained true to our philosophy of managing the bank's balance sheet on a prudent basis. This is reflected in robust capital, modest gross leverage and very strong funding positions. Provided there is no material deterioration in the economy, we expect to see growth in the underlying profitability of the business in the second half."
Paul Lynam, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Despite a challenging economic environment, we have been able to deliver a strong underlying performance and an excellent set of results. These highlight the positive progress we are making with our plans to grow a sustainable alternative to the current high street banking models. Our strong funding, liquidity and capital positions enable us to take full advantage of opportunities in our chosen markets.
We are continuing to see strong demand for our products from a wide variety of customers and the recent acquisition of Everyday Loans has helped us establish a more prominent presence in our chosen markets. We have an ongoing pipeline of organic and external business opportunities and, subject to there being no material deterioration in the economic environment, we are confident about the future potential of Secure Trust Bank."
*This is after excluding the fair value gain, costs relating to the acquisition of Everyday Loans, the effects of acquired portfolios the accrued costs for the share options granted at the IPO, the costs of surplus deposits held in anticipation of the acquisition and group recharges.

Chairman's Statement
Secure Trust Bank PLC is successfully delivering the commitments made at the time of the flotation as evidenced by the significant progress in the first six months of 2012. The profit before tax for the period is GBP12.4 million. This includes a fair value gain of GBP8.9 million which arose from the acquisition accounting required for the purchase of Everyday Loans. We expect most of this to amortise over the next 3 years. The underlying profit before tax increased to GBP7.5 million, an increase of 50% over the same period last year. We have remained true to our philosophy of managing the bank's balance sheet on a prudent basis. This is reflected in robust capital, modest gross leverage and very strong funding positions.
Previously we have made reference to a significant pipeline of organic and external business opportunities. We were therefore delighted to conclude the acquisition of Everyday Loans Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries on 8 June as it continues to broaden and diversify our business.
Provided there is no further material deterioration in the economy, we expect to see an increase in the underlying profitability of the business in the second half of 2012 due to a combination of organic business growth, an improved net interest margin reflecting the removal of the excess liquidity and the earnings contributed from the Everyday Loans acquisition.
As a result of the first half performance the Board proposes to pay an interim dividend of 14p per share for the six months ending 30 June 2012. This will be paid on 21 September 2012 to shareholders on the register as at 24 August 2012.
Chief Executive's Statement
In the first six months of 2012 Secure Trust Bank has built on the position created by the flotation of the Company in November 2011. As a result, and notwithstanding a challenging economic environment, we have been able to deliver a strong underlying performance for the period and progress our plans to grow a sustainable alternative to the current high street banking models.
Excluding the fair value gain, costs relating to the acquisition of Everyday Loans, the effects of acquired portfolios, the accrued costs for the share options granted at the IPO, the costs of surplus deposits held in anticipation of the acquisition and group recharges, the underlying profit before tax shows 50% growth over the prior period.
Disciplined management of the balance sheet
The acquisition of Everyday Loans significantly reduced the Company's excess liquidity. We have returned to our normal deposit raising activities and are opening a range of new fixed term deposit products which have seen very strong demand from customers.
The additional deposits being raised enable us to increase the match funding of fixed term lending against fixed term deposits. The majority of the medium term lending book is now match funded by fixed term deposits.
As a result of the IPO, our core Tier one capital increased from 14% as at 30 June 2011 to 21% as at 31 December 2011, with total capital rising from 15% to 23% in the same period. Organic growth and the Everyday Loans acquisition have allowed us successfully to deploy capital resulting in our Tier one ratio being 15% and total capital 17% as at 30 June 2012. The gross leverage remains a modest 7.6x (6.7x as at 31 December 2011).
Lending activities
Given the uncertain economic picture, we took the precaution of tightening our lending criteria at the beginning of the year. As a result we have been able to enhance the credit quality of the new business without reducing overall volumes. This approach has, in part, contributed to impairments being at levels below our expectations. The continued economic uncertainty warrants ongoing prudence and as the portfolio matures we expect to see, and have priced for, higher impairment levels than we are experiencing.
During the first half of 2012 we have continued to grow the overall lending portfolio on a controlled and balanced basis. Our routes to market have been further enhanced with new distribution agreements reached with large national businesses including DFS, Shop Direct (Littlewoods), Vospers and Ridgeway garages.
Total lending balances, net of provisions and excluding Everyday Loans, have increased to GBP189.4 million as at 30 June 2012. This represents growth of 53% over the same period in 2011 (GBP123.9 million) and 23% growth over the 2011 year end position of GBP154.6 million. Inclusive of Everyday Loans the overall lending balances are GBP260.3 million representing 110% growth on prior period and 68.4% on the year end balances.
Motor Finance balances have grown to GBP78.0 million from GBP48.4 million a year ago and GBP63.4 million as at 31 December 2011 representing 61% and 23% growth respectively.
Personal unsecured lending balances have grown to GBP55.3 million from GBP34.6 million a year ago and GBP43.6 million as at 31 December 2011 representing 59.8% and 26.8% growth respectively.
Retail Point of Sale balances have grown to GBP52.3 million from GBP32.1 million a year ago and GBP42.6 million as at 31 December 2011 representing 63.3% and 22.8% growth respectively.
The acquired portfolio balances have continued to repay as expected and show GBP0.7 million outstanding at 30 June 2012. This compares to GBP5.8 million a year ago and GBP2.5 million as at 31 December 2011.
The OneBill customers' loans have grown to GBP3 million from GBP2.3 million as at 31 December 2011.
A positive development in the second quarter of 2012 was the successful implementation of our improved internet lending portal. This is initially supporting our partnership with Shop Direct. The functionality gives us a variety of opportunities which range from more strategic relationships such as Shop Direct through to developing a direct to Bank lending channel.
Fee based services
For some time OneBill accounts have not been open to new customers and therefore we are encouraged that the number of OneBill customers reduced more slowly than expected, to end the period at 27,209. This represents a reduction of 5.2% on the 28,698 customer base as at 31 December 2011. Total revenue amounted to GBP4.2 million for the first half which compares to GBP9.3 million for the whole of 2011.
The biggest development so far this year for our current account was the launch of our new internet banking platform in April. This will enhance our customer's experience whilst improving operational efficiencies. Customer feedback has been positive and whilst we have held back growth in this part of the business during the process of upgrading our own systems, we are pleased to report total income in the first half of the year of GBP1.1 million which compares to GBP1.9 million for the whole of 2011. We look forward to enhanced growth in the second half of 2012.
Acquisitions improve distribution and market presence
The acquisition of Everyday Loans and its subsidiaries represents a significant strategic development for Secure Trust Bank. We have had a relationship with Everyday Loans since its formation in 2006 and have been impressed with the profitable development of the business and in particular the quality of the management. Like many non bank financial institutions, Everyday Loans has been constrained due to a lack of wholesale funding. This presented an opportunity for us to acquire the business at a modest valuation having concluded extensive due diligence.
Everyday Loans is a provider of unsecured loans to a customer base predominantly in lower income groups. Everyday Loans originates applications through the internet and brokers. Loans are advanced, serviced and collected through a national network of 26 offices. New lending is approved in a thorough and robust manner which includes a detailed face to face interview and full income and expenditure review. Whilst some would regard this as an 'old fashioned' way to do business, it reduces fraud and bad debt risks and ensures the customers get a fair outcome by only allowing them to borrow what they can afford to repay. This part of the business will continue to trade using the "Everyday Loans" brand.
Going forward we see considerable opportunity to grow this business organically and will be developing a wider range of products, including a new budget account, which we intend to market through the national office network. Since acquiring the business we have agreed to open a new office in Middlesbrough.
At 30 June 2012 lending balances were GBP70.9 million.
Investing ahead of growth
As we said at the time of the flotation we will continue to invest in the management controls across the business in order to control growth. The costs avoided due to the lower than expected impairments has enabled us to accelerate our plans to augment our Risk, Finance and Anti Fraud teams without impacting our profitability.
We place a huge emphasis on professionalism and are especially keen to support staff to develop their skills to enhance their potential and by association our customers' experience of dealing with them. With this in mind we have over 50 staff currently undertaking government sponsored apprenticeships.
We intend to recruit at least 10 A-level school leavers in the second half of 2012 on a scheme which will, subject to performance, allow them to develop a progressive career with us whilst simultaneously studying for a BSc (Hons) in Banking Practice and Management via the IFS School of Finance. We anticipate that this will prove very popular.
Outlook
Our strong funding, liquidity and capital positions allow us to be competitive relative to many other banks and lenders. We note the comments in the White Paper released on 14 June 2012 signalling that the Government recognises the competitive challenges faced by smaller banks. We also note the OFT announcement on 13 July 2012 of an investigation into the UK Personal Current Account market, and the speech made by Lord Turner, Chairman of the FSA, on 24 July 2012 in which he expressed his views about some of the barriers to more effective competition in the UK Banking industry. We welcome any initiative to level the competitive playing field and will seek to provide input to these should the opportunity present itself.
We continue to see strong organic demand for our products from a wide variety of customers. Our distribution channels are being continually improved and diversified and we are focused on establishing a more prominent presence in our chosen markets. The acquisition of Everyday Loans will help with this objective and should make a material contribution to the second half profits of 2012. With an ongoing pipeline of organic and external business opportunities, and none of the significant issues impacting on many of the larger banks, subject to there being no further material deterioration in the economic environment, we are confident about the future potential of Secure Trust Bank.

The "Other" segment above includes segments below the quantitative threshold for separate disclosure and fulfils the requirement of IFRS8.28. All the Group's operations are conducted wholly within the United Kingdom and geographical information is therefore not presented.
2. Earnings per ordinary share
Basic and diluted
Earnings per ordinary share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group of GBP11,692,000 (2011: GBP2,673,000) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 14,166,667 (2011: 12,500,000) in issue during the year. As a result of the share consolidation and division during the second half of 2011, the 2011 weighted average number of ordinary shares has been restated on a comparable basis.
The share options granted through the share option scheme do not meet the definition of dilutive shares since they are currently to be cash settled contingently based on the Group achieving specified future targets.
3. Loans and advances to banks
Included within loans and advances to banks are amounts placed with Arbuthnot Latham & Co., Limited, a related company, of GBP26,447,000 (31 December 2011:GBP81,601,000; 30 June 2011:GBP32,557,000).
4. Acquisition of Everyday Loans
On 8 June 2012 Secure Trust Bank Plc (STB) acquired 100% of the shares in Everyday Loans Holdings Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries Everyday Loans Limited and Everyday Lending Limited (together "EDL"). EDL was controlled by its management team and Alchemy Partners Nominees Limited.
STB acquired EDL for consideration of GBP1. Upon acquisition STB provided funding so that EDL could redeem the remaining GBP34 million of subordinated debt principally held by Alchemy and also provided a loan facility of GBP37 million to refinance EDL's existing bank debt and to fund future loans. A payment of up to a maximum of GBP1.5 million will be made to the management team of EDL in March 2013, subject to achieving certain performance targets in 2012.
