Interim Results
Westhouse Holdings plc (LSE: WHL), the corporate and
institutional broking group, today announces its interim results
for the six months ended 30 June 2012.
Highlights
-- Acquisition and integration of Arbuthnot Securities successfully completed
-- Operating revenues of GBP5.1 million (2011 GBP5.2 million)
reflect the structural revenue shift with a GBP1.9 million decrease
in primary commissions offset by increases on other revenue
lines:
o Secondary commissions up 93% against the same period last
year
o Retainer income up 114%
o Advisory income up 262%
o Profitable market making activities
-- Increase in costs due to the acquisition and subsequent increase in headcount
-- Loss before redundancy, restructuring and other non-recurring charges of GBP1.4 million
-- Growth in corporate client numbers from 38 to 79
Commenting on the results, Christopher Getley, Chief Executive
said:
"As an early sector consolidator we have materially increased
the size of our business while delivering GBP10 million of
annualised cost efficiencies. Westhouse now has one of the lowest
cost bases in our industry. Our determination to capture strategic
advantage during a time of considerable change in the financial
markets has ensured that we continue to attract high quality talent
to the firm, particularly amongst our research teams. Our approach
is working as evidenced by the growth in our secondary commissions
and retainer income. This is reducing our reliance on primary
income during a prolonged period in which new equity issues have
been a rare feature of the markets.
Westhouse continues to deliver a first class service to our
corporate and institutional clients and is creating a good platform
for sustainable profitability and value for our investors."

Chairman and Chief Executive's statement
Against a continuing backdrop of difficult markets and wider
economic uncertainty, Westhouse Holdings plc has continued to grow
its underlying business during the first half of 2012, in line with
its Board strategy. The acquisition and integration of Arbuthnot
Securities has been successfully completed which has significantly
added to the firm's recurring revenue streams. The Board remains
confident in the group's strategy of growing these revenue lines
and of returning the group to sustainable profitability.
Results
Operating revenues of GBP5.1 million were broadly in line with
the same period last year. Retainers (up 114%) and secondary
commissions (up 93%) have together more than doubled and accounted
for 50% of overall revenues compared to just 24% for the same
period last year. Advisory fees have increased significantly (up
262%) and market making continues to be profitable. However, these
increases were offset by a GBP1.9 million decrease in primary
commissions reflecting the low level of activity in the market
during the second quarter.
Administrative expenses have increased as a result of the larger
size of the business following the acquisition of Arbuthnot
Securities. However, GBP10 million of annualised cost savings have
been implemented and cost control continues to be a key priority
for the business.
Implementing these cost savings has resulted in a charge of GBP2
million, and it is anticipated that a further GBP0.7 million will
be incurred in the second half. These measures will result in
Westhouse having one of the lowest cost bases in the industry.
Against this background, the business continues to hire talented
individuals with proven track records, most notably in the research
area of the business. This reflects our ongoing commitment to
provide our institutional clients with top quality analysis, ideas
and insight.
The business has also won a number of new corporate clients and
at the end of June had 79 corporate clients with a total market
capitalisation of GBP3.4 billion.
In addition, since June, the group's balance sheet has been
strengthened by the agreement to convert GBP3.3 million of the
existing Perpetual Convertible Loan into equity and raising an
additional GBP1.25 million of share capital. On a pro forma basis,
these actions increase the equity of the group at 30 June 2012 to
GBP5.4 million.
Outlook
The loss for the period is disappointing. However, the
structural shift towards recurring revenues, the decisive action on
reducing costs, a growing pipeline of corporate transactions and
the continuing support of our shareholders, give the Board
encouragement that the platform to return to sustainable
profitability is in place.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of Preparation
The financial information presented in this half-yearly report
constitutes the condensed consolidated financial statements (the
interim financial statements) of Westhouse Holdings plc (the
Company), a company incorporated in Jersey and resident in the
United Kingdom and its subsidiaries (together, the Group) for the
six months ended 30 June 2012.
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December
2011 which have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for use in the EU. The
financial information in this half-yearly report, which has been
approved by the Board and authorised for issue is unaudited. The
interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts
for the purpose of section 434 (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The
comparative financial information presented herein for the year
ended 31 December 2011 has been extracted from the Group's Annual
Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2011 which have
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The preparation of the half-yearly report requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on
historical experience and other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing this
half-yearly report, the significant judgements made by management
in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2011.
The interim financial statements have been prepared using the
same accounting policies as those applied by the Group in its
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2011 and which will form the basis of the 2011 Annual
Report.
Redundancy, restructuring and other non-recurring charges are
material items which derive from events or transactions that fall
within the ordinary activities of the reporting entity and which
individually or, if of a similar type, in aggregate need to be
disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence if the financial
statements are to give a true and fair view.
On the basis of a review of resources available, the Directors
confirm that they have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
and will maintain adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue
to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial
statements.
1.2 Consolidation
This consolidated financial information includes the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries, after the elimination of
inter-company transactions and balances.
On 20 January 2012, Westhouse acquired the entire issued share
capital of Arbuthnot Securities Limited, a corporate finance and
stock broking business from Arbuthnot Banking Group plc.
The initial consideration comprised a cash payment of
GBP1,000,000, the issue of 1,250,000 ordinary shares in Westhouse
and the issue of a perpetual convertible loan of GBP350,000.
Further consideration is payable based on 75% of corporation tax
saved by the use of any trading losses (up to a maximum of
GBP1,900,000) existing in Arbuthnot Securities Limited at the date
of acquisition. Depending on when the tax saving is received the
further consideration may be payable in different tranches.
1.3 Segmental reporting
Business segments are distinguishable operating segments that
engage in revenue earning business activities whose operating
results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision
maker and for which there is discrete financial information
available. Westhouse operates as one segment, with Westhouse
Securities Limited being the sole trading entity in the Group, and
it is not organised on the basis of differences in geographical
areas of operation. Furthermore, all non-current assets are located
in the United Kingdom.
1.4 Perpetual Convertible Loan
The Perpetual Convertible Loan ("PCL") is classed as a financial
liability. As the conversion options contained within it lead to a
potentially variable number of shares it is accounted for as a debt
instrument which contains three embedded derivatives, the issuer
conversion option, the holder conversion option and the issuer
early repayment option. The embedded derivatives are accounted for
at fair value through profit or loss and fair valued at each
reporting date. All changes in the instrument's fair value are
reported in profit or loss and included within financing costs or
finance income.
The main purpose of the PCL is to fund the Group's operations
and manage working capital.
1.5 Intangible asset
In this case Intangible assets comprise the fair value of
acquired customer lists which are not included on the balance
sheets of the acquired companies. A fair value calculation was
carried out based on evaluating the net recurring income streams
from the intangible asset. Intangibles are initially recognised at
fair value, and subsequently carried at fair value, less
accumulated amortisation and impairment. The Intangible Assets are
to be amortised over a period of 5 years.
The areas of critical judgement in calculating the intangible
asset are evaluating the net recurring income streams, using an
appropriate discount rate and the level of client retention.
1.6 Market making
Market making is the acquisition of assets and liabilities
principally for the purpose of selling short term. Such financial
assets and liabilities are classified as held for trading and
accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Purchases and
sales of such financial assets and liabilities are recognised on
trade date being the date on which the Company commits to acquire
or dispose of the asset.
Fair values for financial assets and liabilities held for
trading are determined by reference to the current quoted bid/offer
price, with assets held for trading marked to the bid price and
liabilities held for trading marked at the offer price.
Gains and losses in these securities are included in income.
Market counterparty balances are the amounts due to and from
counterparties in respect of the company's market making
activities.
2 Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable
to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of
shares issued during the period.

---------- --------- -------------
The listed financial assets have been stated at fair value. Fair
value is determined by valuing the financial assets at the
appropriate closing bid price at the period ends.
The unlisted financial assets have been stated at fair value.
Fair value is determined by using recent arm's length transactions
and valuation models where a recent arm's length transaction does
not exist. Where this is not possible the Company uses the
Directors' valuation.
