HALF YEARLY REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2015
(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.
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.
The board is mindful of the statement made at the capital
raising in 2013. That is, if no acquisition is made by 11 January
2016, the directors will consider whether it is appropriate to
return unused share capital to shareholders and/or wind-up the
Company.

Chairman
NBNK INVESTMENTS PLC
HALF YEARLY REPORT FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2015
(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
2015 was unchanged from that published in the Annual Report and
Financial Statements to 31 December 2014 at 53,771,229 ordinary
shares. The fully diluted share capital was also unchanged at
60,667,480. 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 2015, the Company's shares were trading at 31.0 pence
per share. The Company had cash assets of GBP19,806,000 at the
period end.
The Company reports a loss for the period of GBP172,000.
Dividend
The directors do not recommend an interim dividend on the
ordinary shares for the six months to 30 June 2015.
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 2015.
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 5 to the accounts.
