Chairman's statement

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to take this opportunity to provide you with an update on the Group's activities for the first six months of 2013.

Results

During the six months ended 30 June 2013, the Group made a loss for the period of GBP0.19 million (2012: a loss of GBP2.19 million).

The results include a profit before tax of GBP0.10 million in respect of the Group's German property investment activities (2012: a loss of GBP0.23 million).These results include an accounting profit of GBP290,000 in respect of the interest rate swaps for the bank financing of these properties, compared to an accounting loss for the comparative period of GBP34,000. These operations are now classed as discontinuing given the proposed transaction placed before a general meeting on 30 July 2013.

The results include nil profit or loss before tax (2012: loss of GBP1.76 million) for Speymill Contracts Limited ("Contracts") due to the company being placed into administration in December 2012.

Financial position

As at 30 June 2013, the Group had net liabilities of GBP3.11 million (June 2012: net assets GBP0.63 million; December 2012: net liabilities GBP3.09 million).

As I reported in our annual statement for 2012 I, together with Burnbrae Limited, agreed to extend the shareholder loan facility to 31 August 2013. As at 30 June 2013, a total of GBP6.33 million (2012: GBP3.02 million) of the shareholder loan facility had been drawn down by the Group.

Refinancing

As proposed in the annual report for 2012 and detailed in the accompanying circular, the Directors believe the best way forward for the Group was the disposal of the German property investment operations in consideration for forgiveness of GBP4.21 million of the shareholder loan provided by me and Burnbrae Limited and GBP0.30 million in cash. This transaction would then see the Group become an Investing Company.

This proposal was put to the shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 July 2013, where it was approved. Consequently, the ownership of the Group's 94.9% interest in the two German property investment companies, Horsfield Limited and Wyatt Limited, was transferred to me and Burnbrae Limited ("Burnbrae") and GBP4.21 million of the shareholder loan debt was extinguished and GBP0.30 million in cash for working capital purposes was also received. Subsequent to this transaction a new financing facility provided by Galloway Limited, a company related to Burnbrae and which is indirectly wholly owned by a Trust in which I have a life interest, was initiated and which replaced the facility provided by myself and Burnbrae.

Speymill Contracts

As detailed in my report accompanying the Annual Report for 2012, Contracts was placed into administration on 19 December 2012. At the time of writing, the administration process is still on-going and we continue to monitor this process with a view to protecting the group's interests.

Future Developments

Following approval of the disposal of the German property investment operations, Speymill plc ("the Company") has been reclassified as an Investing Company under AIM rules and has adopted a "generalist" investing policy. The Company continues to actively seek to identify suitable opportunities to implement the investment policy.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2013

   1      Reporting entity 

Speymill plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the Isle of Man (referred to as the Company). The address of the Company's registered office is 1st Floor, Regent House, 16-18 Ridgeway Street, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 1EN.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2013 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" and individually as "Group entities"). The Group was primarily involved in real estate investment and construction operations but, following approval by the shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 July 2013, the Company is now an Investing Company.

1.1 Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this interim report are the same as those applied in the annual report to 31 December 2012.

Going concern

As highlighted in the Chairman's statement, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2013 shows a net liabilities position of GBP3.106m (31 December 2012: net liabilities of GBP3.1087m). The reduced net asset position is a consequence of the losses incurred by Speymill Contracts Limited (Speymill Contracts). As a result of these losses, the Board of Speymill plc has recognised a need for additional working capital. Having reviewed the forecast cash flow requirements, the Board has secured additional financing through an increase in the shareholder loan facility.

As announced on 16 April 2012, Jim Mellon and Burnbrae Limited agreed to provide a revised shareholder loan facility. The new facility continued to be revolving, with a limit of GBP5 million and an expiry date of 30 June 2013, with an interest rate of 8% and all other terms remaining as per the previous facility.

The Board of Speymill plc agreed to a further increase of the facility as announced on 28 September 2012 and subsequently has agreed to extend the facility to 31 August 2013 to allow the proposed transaction to be put before a general meeting. The revised limit of the facility has now been agreed as GBP7 million, with the conversion price being amended to 1.125 pence and an expiry date of 31 August 2013.

As announced on 30 July 2013, the disposal of the Company's 94.9% shareholding in each of Horsfield Limited and Wyatt Limited was approved by the shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 July 2013. This disposal resulted in GBP4.2m of the shareholder loan facility being extinguished and GBP0.3m consideration received for working capital purposes. The balance of the Jim Mellon and Burnbrae Limited shareholder loan facility has been transferred to a new facility provided by Galloway Limited ("Galloway") (a company related to both Jim Mellon and Burnbrae Limited and indirectly wholly owned by a Trust in which Jim Mellon has a life interest). The new facility has a limit of GBP4m with interest charged at 8% and an underwriting fee of 3% charged on all advances (except for the initial advance). Galloway has the right to convert the debt into ordinary shares in the company at a price based on the average closing price of the shares for the five working days prior to the date of conversion, subject to a maximum price of GBP0.01 per ordinary share.

As at 30 June 2013, a total of GBP6.33m (2012: GBP3.02m) of the shareholder loan facility had been drawn down by the Group. Following the approval of the proposed transaction at a general meeting, the initial drawdown from the new facility on 31 July 2013 was GBP1.93 million.

The Directors acknowledge that following the disposal of Horsfield Limited and Wyatt Limited at the end of July 2013 the Group is left with no specific source of revenue. The Company has therefore been reclassified as an Investing Company and adopted an Investing Policy, as approved by the shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 July 2013. The Directors are now seeking investment opportunities in accordance with the adopted Investing Policy. Further details can be found on the Company's website and in the circular distributed to shareholders with the annual report on 28 June 2013.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issuance on 26 September 2013.

(b) Basis of measurement and functional currency

The Group condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling, rounded to the nearest thousand. They have been prepared on the historical cost basis except where assets and liabilities are required to be stated at their fair value.

(c) Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of Group consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, and in some cases actuarial techniques and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of estimation of uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012.

(d) Determination and presentation of operating segments

The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the CEO, who is the Group's chief operating decision maker. This accounting policy reflects the Group's adoption of IFRS 8 Operating Segments which took effect from 1 January 2009.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. An operating segment's operating results are reviewed regularly by the CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company's headquarters) and office expenses.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill.

(e) Investment property

The investment properties are valued at their fair value as per the latest available valuation. The Directors review the carrying value of investment properties periodically taking into account factors such as the current economic environment. If it is felt appropriate an independent, external valuation will be sought to assist with this review.

The Investment properties are held within Horsfield Limited and Wyatt Limited and, as detailed previously, disposal of these two subsidiaries was approved by the shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 July 2013. Consequently, the investment properties are now classified as current assets in the statement of financial position.

(f) Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Group has adopted IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations to account for the presentation of discontinued operations. Disclosure has been made of the operating results of discontinued operations and continuing operations.

(g) Financial risk management

The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with those disclosed in the financial statements as at 30 June 2013 and for the year ended 31 December 2012.

   2   Segmental information - continuing operations 

In respect of its continuing operations, the Group has one reportable segment, as described below, which is the Group's strategic business unit. The strategic business unit offers different products and services, and is managed separately because it requires different technology and marketing strategies. The operations of the Group's reportable segment are as follows:

   6   Taxation 

There is no tax charge on continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2013 (year ended 31 December 2012 - nil). This results from the fact that either operations are conducted in tax jurisdictions with a 0% tax rate for companies or that operations did not generate any taxable profits during the period, taking into account any available allowances and brought forward tax losses.

   8   Investment property 

The fair value of the Group's investment properties at 30 June 2013 and at 31 December 2012 was arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out as at 31 December 2012 by CBRE GmbH, independent valuers that are not related to the Group. CBRE GmbH has appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the valuation of properties in the relevant locations.

The Directors believed that a further revaluation of the properties was not appropriate and have used the previous valuation as a basis of assessing the current carrying value of the various properties. This valuation and the financial performance of the portfolios was compared at 31 December 2012 with information for comparable properties being currently offered for sale in the open market. The portfolios were also reviewed in conjunction with information relating to the trends for property prices across Germany.

The Directors deem the valuation carried out as at 31 December 2012 to still be relevant and an appropriate valuation as at the period end, as there have been no significant indicators of impairment or factors identified which may affect the value of the investment properties. The movement in the properties' carrying value since 1 January 2013 is due to translation to the presentation currency.

Following approval by the shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 July 2013 for the disposal of Horsfield Limited and Wyatt Limited (as detailed previously), the investment properties have been reclassified as current assets.

The Group's interest-bearing loans are carried at amortised cost. As at 30 June 2013, the Group had two secured bank loan facilities amounting to GBP14.6m (31 December 2012: GBP14.1m). Each of the Group's interest-bearing loan facilities has been secured by charges on investments properties, rental income, bank accounts, other assets and undertakings within the related financing packages.

Deutsche Genossenschafts-Hypothekenbank AG is the sole lender for the two financing packages, as detailed below:

The balance outstanding under this facility at the period end was GBP7,971,094 (31 December 2012: GBP7,668,080). The facility amount at original drawdown was EUR 9,807,200. The interest rate is fixed at 4.615% per annum inclusive of margin. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The loan is currently amortising at 1.17% of the original loan amount per annum and is repayable on the repayment date of 31 December 2014.

Wyatt Limited

The balance outstanding under this facility at the period end was GBP6,659,462 (31 December 2012: GBP6,406,304). The facility amount at original drawdown was EUR 8,192,700.

Amounts owed to Burnbrae Limited, other than amounts due to Jim Mellon and Burnbrae Limited through the shareholder loan facility, at 30 June 2013 were GBPnil (31 December 2012: GBPnil).

13 Subsequent events

At the reporting date, a circular had been distributed to all shareholders detailing a proposal to dispose of two subsidiary companies, Horsfield Limited and Wyatt Limited, to part satisfy the existing shareholder loan and then to operate as an investment company.

Under the terms of the proposal, the Group would transfer its interest in the subsidiaries to Jim Mellon and Burnbrae Limited in consideration for the elimination of GBP4.2m of the shareholder loan facility and GBP0.3m in cash.

It was also proposed that, following the above transaction, a new funding facility would be provided by Galloway Limited (a company related to Jim Mellon and Burnbrae Limited) to repay the residual balance of the shareholder loan and to provide a further facility of up to GBP4m until 31 July 2014.

The above transactions were approved by the shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 July 2013.
