Chairman's statement
Introduction
I am pleased to report that during the first half of 2018, the
Group has continued to grow, making progress across its primary
areas of operation, demonstrating the strength of its diversified
business model.
Capital Markets has won new clients and been active across a
variety of new mandates and has an encouraging pipeline of
opportunities, whilst Asset Management has achieved healthy growth
in revenues, profitability and assets under management.
Revenues for the Group during the period grew by 6.5% to GBP21.6
million, (2017: GBP20.3 million) increasing Group profit before tax
by 2.8% to GBP2.6 million, (2017: GBP2.5 million). Basic earnings
per share increased 10.4% to 7.4p, (2016: 6.7p).
The Capital Markets business has focused on investing in a range
of enhancements to its corporate broking and research activities,
reflecting the division's changing mix of business, which we have
anticipated becoming weighted towards primary issuance. Activity
after the period end has included acting on the IPO of Nucleus
Financial Group plc, raising GBP32 million.
The division has performed well, working on a range of
transactions, IPOs and advisory mandates in addition to growing its
retained client base. There were five new corporate clients wins in
the period, whilst transaction work included placings of shares in
FTSE 100 GVC Holdings plc and FTSE 250 Dairy Crest Group plc; and
takeover advisory for Styles & Wood Group plc and Zenith
Hygiene Group plc.
Our focus on providing excellent service to corporate and
institutional clients has been enhanced by the continued
development of our research, distribution and investor relations
capabilities. During the period, we expanded our core consumer and
financial equities research whilst also taking up coverage of the
industrials sector. Looking ahead we will continue to invest in
meeting the strong demand for our research, which is highly
regarded by clients and scores well in investor surveys.
The Group's market making team continued to deliver a strong
performance for the business and sustained its reputation as a
robust and trusted counterparty and continues to benefit from being
one of the three largest market makers on the London Stock
Exchange.
Our Asset Management activities maintained momentum and had an
excellent first half, growing revenues and profits as a result of
earlier investments in the business. In particular, the Private
Client business, Puma Investments, continued to grow assets under
management across its focus areas of growth capital and private
equity; property finance; and listed equities.
Operationally, the business has made good progress in deploying
funds for its active VCTs, which have recently paid annual tax-free
dividends of between 2.0p and 6.0p to shareholders. Its Puma EIS
and Puma Alpha EIS offers have continued to attract funds with over
GBP70 million of assets under management and 13 investments.
Meanwhile, the Puma AIM IHT Service reached its fourth anniversary
at the end of the period having achieved a 12.5% compound annual
growth rate over the four years since inception.
In property finance, Puma Heritage has grown its net asset value
to GBP60 million, driven by new subscriptions and organic
profitability on its diversified loan book. We plan to continue
investing in this business to address the strong pipeline of
opportunities created by the retreat of traditional lenders in the
sector.
We have developed new revenue streams in the social care sector
where we have been active for many years in providing development
finance. We have a pipeline of further opportunities in the
supported living sector, where we are providing a holistic service
to source, structure and negotiate acquisitions. During the period,
we also acquired a majority stake in a company investing in
property in the social care space.
In the Institutional business, the Group has continued to assist
Brandenburg Realty and Puma Brandenburg to implement their
strategies. The Group has supported initiatives to gain planning
permissions, transact commercial and residential properties and
strengthen relationships with tenants.
Financial review
Income and expenditure
Revenue for the period increased by 6.5% to GBP21.6 million,
(2017: GBP20.3 million) whilst administrative expenses increased by
6.9% to GBP18.9 million, (2017: GBP17.7 million) generating an
operating profit of GBP2.7 million, (2017: GBP2.7 million). Group
profit before tax increased by 2.8% to GBP2.6 million, (2017:

GBP7.3 million, (2017: GBP4.9 million) generating a 216.7% increase

representing a net margin of 17.7%, (2017: 8.3%).
The Principal Finance division recorded a pre-tax loss of GBP0.7

Basic earnings per share
The Group generated basic earnings per share of 7.4p, (2017:

GBP31.5 million) of cash and GBP2.8 million, (2017: GBP1.6 million)
of gilts and bonds. In addition, the Group has a GBP20 million
working capital facility which was undrawn at the period end.
Balance sheet
The Group's balance sheet remains strong. Total equity at the
period end was GBP68.1 million, (2017: GBP66.1 million) the
increase reflecting the net of the profits for the period less
dividend payments.
In addition to the GBP24.8 million of cash and GBP2.8 million of
gilts and bonds, (as referred to above) at the period end the Group
held GBP4.9 million in various of its Puma Funds; GBP4.3 million
net in quoted equities; and a further GBP3.1 million in other
unquoted holdings.
The remainder of the balance sheet was GBP28.2 million net,
which included GBP17.6 million of net market and other debtors in
the Company's stockbroking subsidiary. In addition, the Group held
investment properties valued at GBP2.6 million and the remaining
licences held in Spectrum Investments were valued at GBP2.2
million, (on a gross basis, before allowing for minority
interests).
Net Asset Value per Share
Net asset value per share at the period end was 270.5p, (2017:
266.6p).
Dividend
The Board proposes to pay an interim dividend of 5.0p per share,
(2017: 5.0p per share). The interim dividend is expected to be paid
on Wednesday 17 October 2018 to shareholders on the register as at
Friday 28 September 2018. Shares will be marked ex-dividend on 27
September 2018.
Corporate Governance
In anticipation of the provisions of AIM Rule 26, the Group has
elected to adopt the QCA Corporate Governance Code with effect from
28 September 2018.
Operating review
Capital Markets
Overview
The Capital Markets business has proved resilient in the first
half of the year against a backdrop of continued domestic political
uncertainty and a global trend towards protectionist trade.
Although revenues are lower than in the comparative period, the
business has continued to grow its retained client base; enhance
its corporate broking and equity research offerings; and maintain
its strong reputation with buy-side investors and market
counterparties. We are comfortable that the business is
well-positioned to take advantage of future market opportunities as
they arise.
Corporate Advisory
During the period under review the corporate advisory team has
participated in a number of significant transactions including
multiple IPOs, reverse takeovers and secondary fundraisings.
Notable transactions completed during the period included:
-- acting as joint bookrunner on the GBP198 million placing of
stock in FTSE 100 GVC Holdings plc on behalf of Playtech plc;
-- acting as joint bookrunner on the GBP70 million placing by
FTSE 250 Dairy Crest Group plc;
-- acting as lead manager on the re-admission to AIM of Savannah
Petroleum plc, following its acquisition of certain assets from
Seven Energy International Limited, raising US$125 million; and
-- acting as nominated adviser, sole bookrunner and broker on
the IPO of Cake Box Holdings plc, raising GBP16.5 million.
In advisory, the team undertook Rule 3 Adviser mandates with
Styles & Wood Group plc in relation to its GBP42.5 million
takeover by Central Square Holdings Limited; and Zenith Hygiene
Group plc in relation to its GBP100 million takeover by Bain
Capital.
The Company has continued to invest in its corporate broking
capabilities during the period and successfully grew its retained
client list, adding five new corporate clients, including Sirius
Minerals plc, Produce Investments plc, Savannah Petroleum plc, Cake
Box Holdings plc and Echo Energy plc. Following the period end, we
completed the IPO of Nucleus Financial Group plc, acting as
nominated advisor, sole bookrunner and broker, raising GBP32
million.
Research, idea generation and distribution
As UK financial markets have been adjusting to MiFID II since
its introduction in January, our approach throughout has been to
sustain service levels to fund managers and corporate clients
alike. Implementing MiFID II has been administratively intense for
all industry participants; and it will take some time for the full
financial implications to emerge, particularly with respect to the
buy-side's approach to the unbundling of research. Nevertheless, we
are pleased with the level of take-up of our research from
institutional and other relationships since implementation.
Reflecting our overall optimism about the Capital Markets
proposition and outlook, the investments made in our corporate
broking capabilities referenced above have been enhanced by the
further development of our research, distribution and investor
relations capabilities. During the period, we have committed
additional resources to equity research in our core consumer and
financial sectors whilst also taking up coverage of the industrials
sector.
Market Making
Our Market Making business continued to deliver a strong
performance for the business, albeit on revenues slightly behind
the previous year. We are proud of our reputation as a robust and
trusted counterparty, ensuring market liquidity across a broad
range of equities.
Although clearly sensitive to the overall market environment,
Shore Capital remains focused and adaptable to changing trading
conditions and client needs. The team comprises highly experienced
traders who are able to identify revenue opportunities whilst
operating within a risk framework that ensures loss days are a rare
occurrence.
Fixed Income
With bond markets remaining fairly stable during the period,
torn between potential further rises in US interest rates, trade
tariffs and domestic political uncertainty, our fixed income
business has recorded similar levels of revenue and profits to the
previous year.
Asset Management
Overview
The Asset Management division has enjoyed a very strong period,
growing revenues by nearly 50% and more than doubling pre-tax
profits. Overall AUM for the Asset Management division at the
period end grew to GBP915 million, (2017: GBP810 million) driven by
fundraising in the Private Client operations and increased
valuations in our Institutional portfolios.
Private Client Investments
The Group's Private Client Investments business, Puma
Investments, enjoyed a strong period which combined impressive
financial results with significant operational and strategic
advances. The business developed new revenue streams, enabling
further material investments in the period in headcount and
infrastructure across its three focus areas - growth capital and
private equity; property finance; and listed equities.
Growth Capital and Private Equity
Puma Investments offers retail investors access to tax efficient
private equity offerings through our long-standing Venture Capital
Trusts ("VCTs") and Enterprise Investment Scheme ("EIS") offerings.
We are sector-agnostic and seek to back well-positioned businesses
led by high-quality, credible management teams who have the
potential and aspiration to deliver material growth.
Since 2005, the Group has raised over GBP230 million for its
Puma VCTs including through Puma VCT 13, its latest offer, which
remains open for investment into the 2018/19 tax year. The business
has made good progress in deploying available funds raised for its
active VCTs, which have recently paid annual tax-free dividends of
between 2.0p and 6.0p to shareholders.
The Puma Alpha EIS service, ("Puma Alpha") launched in October
2017 and is run by the same experienced team responsible for the
Puma VCTs, benefiting from the their strong track record and
expertise. Fundraising continued successfully throughout the
period, increasing funds in Puma Alpha, together with its
predecessor Puma EIS, to over GBP70 million. Puma Alpha made its
second investment in the period, growing the suite of EIS companies
in both services to 13.
Property Finance and Construction
Puma's Property Finance and Construction team offers investors
access to secured, first charge loans, at prudent loan-to-value
ratios on UK real estate across a range of sectors. The platform
provides lending solutions to borrowers throughout the lifecycle of
property development, via three principal offerings:
pre-development bridge loans; development finance; and development
exit loans. Ticket sizes typically range from GBP3 million to GBP30
million and the team is active across residential, commercial and
more specialist areas of real estate, including hotels and
healthcare assets.
Private Client investors can access these activities through an
investment into Puma Heritage plc, which utilises its diversified
loan book (over 400 loans to date) to generate regular returns for
shareholders intended to counter long-term inflationary pressures.
An investment in Puma Heritage is intended to benefit from 100%
relief from Inheritance Tax after two years.
Puma Heritage has just celebrated its fifth anniversary and has
continued the acceleration in its net asset value, ("NAV") during
the period. Subscriptions from new shareholders and organic profits
increased the company's NAV to GBP60 million at the time of
writing. Puma Heritage remains open for investment and has a strong
pipeline of loan opportunities to drive future growth.
The business continues to invest heavily into the Property
Finance and Construction team and has added several experienced new
individuals to the business during the period. Given the platform's
strong track record, significant market demand and the retrenchment
of traditional lenders in development finance, we are optimistic of
adding further sources of capital to deploy in the real estate
lending arena and to scale this core part of our business
further.
Listed Equities
The business offers retail investors access to a discretionary
equity portfolio service through its Puma AIM IHT Service, (the
"AIM Service") which seeks to mitigate Inheritance Tax by investing
in a carefully selected portfolio of AIM shares. The AIM Service is
particularly attractive for those that wish to utilise these tax
advantages whilst also investing within their ISA wrapper. Led by
an award-winning manager, the AIM Service celebrated its fourth
anniversary at the end of the reporting period; and has delivered a
12.5% compound annual growth rate over the four years since
inception.
Assets under management have continued to grow during the half
year, driven by clients investing directly through their Financial
Adviser and, increasingly, the Ascentric, Standard Life and
Transact Financial Adviser Platforms. We are investigating the
potential to add new platforms as we seek to expand our AUM in the
listed equities space.
Social Care
The business has developed exciting new revenue streams in the
social care sector during the period, leveraging our many years of
experience providing development finance in this area. Our broad
range of relationships has enabled us to partner with external
funds investing in the supported living sector, where we are
providing a holistic service to source, structure and negotiate
acquisitions. During the period, we also acquired a majority stake
in a company investing in property in the social care space,
details of which are included in note 7. We have a pipeline of
further opportunities and are optimistic about prospects for
further revenue generation in this sector.
Institutional Asset Management
Brandenburg Realty
Brandenburg Realty (the "Fund") continues to seek a range of
high-quality real estate opportunities and implement its asset
management programme to enhance value creation across the
portfolio.
During the period, the Fund took possession of the three Mitte
and Prenzlauer Berg assets purchased in December 2017. Since then,
the first stage of obtaining condominium title has been completed
for each building. Renovation works have been planned and the first
furnished apartments have been let.
The team also continues to assist the Fund's implementation of
its strategy for the other commercial and residential assets. At
the Potsdam assets, a full planning permission to construct c.1,800
sq.m. of new residential space has been secured. Vacant units in
the existing Potsdam residential assets are being marketed for
sale. Meanwhile, units in Berlin's Monumentenstrasse continue to be
sold at more favourable prices than the underwriting expectations
at the time of acquisition.
Towards the end of the previous year, the advisory team assisted
with the Fund's investment alongside Puma Brandenburg in Mixer
Global, an operator of premium co-working spaces and business
lounges, founded in Tel Aviv. Mixer just recently opened a highly
successful second site in Tel Aviv, already operating at near
capacity, and plans to open a third in Herzliya in early 2019. The
investment in Mixer will enable it to establish European
headquarters and open new sites in the EU and US, as well as the
new sites in Israel. The team continues to assist Mixer Global to
identify and evaluate sites, especially in Germany and the US.
Puma Brandenburg Limited ("PBL")
During the period, the Group has continued to assist PBL to
execute its strategy, including:
-- The addition of two new pavilions that will house two new
restaurants at Cologne's Hyatt Regency hotel, where construction
commenced in December 2017 and was ongoing at the end of the
period;
-- The conversion of further apartments to add to PBL's pool of
furnished apartments that are let out on short term leases; and
-- PBL's participation in the Mixer Global investment, as noted
above.
St Peter Port Capital ("SPPC")
SPPC announced its results for the year ended 31 March 2018 on
11 June. As at that date, it had investments in seven companies,
(excluding companies in the portfolio it had written down to
zero).
SPPC reported that a number of the companies in the portfolio
were more optimistic than at any time in the recent past but that,
(with the exception of one small holding) none of the companies had
yet achieved a liquidity event. The directors of SPPC continue to
believe that the portfolio offers the potential for capital gain
from the values at which the investments are currently being held.
Notwithstanding this, they decided to write down the value of two
investments to reflect continuing illiquidity.
In July 2018, the shareholders voted in favour of extending the
company's life for another year in order to allow the directors
more time to realise value for the investments.
Principal Finance
The Principal Finance division seeks to use the Group's strong
balance sheet to invest in attractive opportunities and seed new
funds.
Investment in DBD
This division also holds the Group's investment in DBD, which
holds, through a subsidiary, 32 regional radio spectrum licences in
Germany of indefinite duration (the "Licences"). Shore Capital
holds a 59.94% interest in Spectrum Investments Limited, the parent
company of DBD.
As previously reported, in past correspondence with DBD, the
German Telecoms Regulator ("BNetzA") had stated that the ongoing
consideration of the status and use of the Licences should be taken
in the context of its ongoing review of spectrum frequency planning
for the years after 2021/2022 and in particular its frequency
concept for the 3.5GHz band, into which the Licences fall.
BNetzA has now written to DBD with its decision to withdraw the
Licences from the 3.5GHz frequency band with effect from 31
December 2018 and to offer to DBD to reallocate the Licences to the
3.7-3.8 GHz frequency band at no cost and on a "flexibilised"
basis, meaning without historic technical restrictions limiting the
usage of the Licences. DBD intends to challenge the withdrawal
decision which the Group will update on in due course.
Current trading and prospects
We have sustained our focus on excellent client service;
supporting high-quality and entrepreneurial management teams to
grow their businesses; and creating valuable opportunities for
investors. We remain optimistic for the future, investing in the
business to make the most of the opportunities before us, despite
the volatility created by the political uncertainty.

Independent review report to Shore Capital Group Limited (the
"Group")
Introduction
We have been engaged by Shore Capital Group Limited to review
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2018 which
comprises the unaudited consolidated income statement, the
unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the
unaudited consolidated statement of financial position, the
unaudited consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
unaudited consolidated cash flow statement.
We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly
financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in
the condensed set of financial statements.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information
contained therein, is the responsibility of and has been approved
by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the
interim report in accordance with the rules of the London Stock
Exchange for companies trading securities on AIM which require that
the half-yearly report be presented and prepared in a form
consistent with that which will be adopted in the Group's annual
accounts having regard to the accounting standards applicable to
such annual accounts.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Group a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report based on our review.
Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our
engagement to assist the Group in meeting the requirements of the
rules of the London Stock Exchange for companies trading securities
on AIM and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on
this report unless such person is a person entitled to rely upon
this report by virtue of and for the purpose of our terms of
engagement has been expressly authorised to do so by our written
consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for this
report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby
expressly disclaim any and all such liability.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with the rules of the London Stock Exchange for companies trading
securities on AIM.

Notes to the Interim Financial Report
For the six months ended 30 June 2018 (unaudited)
1. Financial information
Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements of Shore Capital Group Limited,
the 'company' and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial
statements included in this interim financial report for the period
ended 30 June 2018 has been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting",
as adopted by the European Union.
The information for the year ended 31 December 2017 does not
constitute statutory accounts. The Annual Report and Accounts of
the Group were issued on 29 March 2018. The auditor's report on
those accounts was not qualified and did not include a reference to
any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis
without qualifying the report.
Going concern
The Group's business activities, together with the factors
likely to affect its future development, performance and position
are set out in the Chairman's statement, together with the
financial position of the Group, its liquidity position and
borrowing facilities. In addition, the principal risks and
uncertainties of the Group are discussed in note 2 to this interim
financial report.
The Group has considerable financial resources together with an
established business model. As a consequence, the directors believe
that the Group is well-placed to manage its business risks
successfully.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements.
Significant accounting policies
The same accounting policies, presentation and methods of
computation are followed in these condensed set of financial
statements as are applied in the Group's latest audited Annual
Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017, except for
those that relate to new standards and interpretations effective
for the first time for periods beginning on (or after) 1 January
2018, and will be adopted in the 2018 annual financial statements.
New standards impacting the Group that will be adopted in the
annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2018,
and which have given rise to changes in the Group's accounting
policies are:
-- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; and
-- IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Details of the impact these two standards have had are given
below. Other new and amended standards and Interpretations issued
by the IASB that will apply for the first time in the next annual
financial statements are not expected to impact the Group as they
are either not relevant to the Group's activities or require
accounting which is consistent with the Group's current accounting
policies.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 has replaced IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement, and has impacted the Group in the following
areas:
-- A Principal Finance investment classified as an available for
sale financial asset under IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement has now been classified as being at
fair value through profit and loss under IFRS 9. Previously, under
IAS 39, gains and losses accumulated in reserves were recycled to
profit or loss on disposal. A loss of GBP48,000 recognised prior to
2017 under IAS 39 (and therefore accumulated in other reserves) has
therefore been transferred to the retained earnings.
-- The impairment provision on financial assets measured at
amortised cost (such as trade and other receivables) calculated in
accordance with IFRS 9's incurred loss provision, has not
significantly impacted the Group's results given the historically
low level of write offs across the Group. Management have
calculated the impairment provision to be GBP78,000.
The Group has chosen not to restate comparatives on adoption of
IFRS 9 and, therefore, both of these changes have been processed at
the date of initial application (i.e. 1 January 2018) and presented
in the statement of changes in equity for the 6 months to 30 June
2018.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 has replaced IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction
Contracts as well as various interpretations previously issued by
the IFRS Interpretations Committee. It has been adopted on its
mandatorily effective date, and applied on a retrospective basis,
recognising the cumulative effect of initially applying the
standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings, of which there was nil. There has been no material change
to the way the Group recognises revenue.
2. Principal risks and uncertainties
The Group's policies for managing the risks arising from its
activities are set out in the last audited Annual Report and
Accounts of the Group that were issued on 29 March 2018. The
Group's activities comprise equity market activities and investment
in alternative assets and property, and its income is therefore
subject to the level of general activity, sentiment and market
conditions in each of the markets in which it operates.
3. Segmental information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business
units based on their services, and has four reportable operating
segments as follows:
-- Capital Markets provides research in selected sectors,
broking for institutional and professional clients, market making
in AIM and small cap stocks, fixed income broking and corporate
broking and advisory for mid and small cap companies.
-- Asset Management provides advisory services, and manages
specialist funds.
-- Central Costs comprises the costs of the Group's central
management team and structure.
-- Principal Finance comprises investments and other holdings
acquired, together with principal finance activities conducted,
using our own balance sheet resources.
Management monitors the operating results of its business units
separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource
allocation and performance assessment. Segmental performance is
evaluated based on operating profit or loss. Transfer prices
between operating segments are on an arm's-length basis in a manner
similar to transactions with third parties.

7. Business combination
On 24 May 2018 the Group acquired 75% of the ordinary share
capital and 77,088 GBP10 preference shares offering a 10% preferred
return in EA Capital Limited, a limited company registered in the
Isle of Man. EA Capital Limited has two UK registered subsidiaries
EA Northampton Limited and EA Bedford Limited (together "EA
Capital"), whose primary activity is to hold UK residential
property for investment purposes, which is also the primary reason
for the acquisition.
The stake in EA Capital was acquired from Specialist Investment
Properties Plc, a related party of the group by virtue of its
investment adviser, Puma Investment Management Limited, being a
subsidiary of the Group.
The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed are as set out in the table
below.

Non-controlling interests (75) - (75)
----------- ------------ -----------------
832 60 892
----------- ------------ -----------------
Consideration of GBP892,000 was paid in cash, which is
equivalent to the fair value of the identifiable assets and
liabilities acquired and therefore no goodwill arose. The
acquisition was partly funded by a loan of GBP1.9 million extended
to the Group by Heritage Square Limited, of which GBP1.74 million
was used to refinance the borrowings of EA Capital as of the date
of acquisition. Heritage Square Limited is a related party of the
Group as its trading adviser is Puma Investment Management
Limited.
The fair value of the financial assets includes receivables with
a fair value and a gross contractual value of GBP28,000. All of
this balance has been collected since acquisition.
Non-controlling interests of GBP75,000 were recognised at the
acquisition date
Acquisition related costs included in administrative expenses
are GBP20,000.
EA Capital contributed GBP23,000 to revenue and GBP4,000 to the
Group's profit for the period between the date of acquisition and
the balance sheet date. If the acquisition of EA Capital had been
completed on the first day of the period, group revenues and
pre-tax profits for the period would have been higher by GBP102,000
and GBP11,000 respectively.
8. Financial instruments
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged,
or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in
an arm's length transaction.
For trading assets and liabilities, and financial assets and
liabilities designated at fair value which are listed or otherwise
traded in an active market, for exchange-traded derivatives, and
for other financial instruments for which quoted prices in an
active market are available, fair value is determined directly from
those quoted market prices (level 1).
For financial instruments which do not have quoted market prices
directly available from an active market, fair values are estimated
using valuation techniques, based wherever possible on assumptions
supported by observable market prices or rates prevailing at the
balance sheet date (level 2). This is the case for some unlisted
investments and other items which are not traded in active
markets.
For some types of financial instruments, fair values cannot be
obtained directly from quoted market prices, or indirectly using
valuation techniques or models supported by observable market
prices or rates. This is the case for certain unlisted investments.
In these cases, fair value is estimated indirectly using valuation
techniques for which the inputs are reasonable assumptions, based
on market conditions (level 3).

Included in the fair value of financial instruments carried at
fair value in the statement of financial position are those
estimated in full or in part using valuation techniques based on
assumptions that are not supported by market observable prices or
rates (level 3). For such financial instruments, the directors have
generally made reference to published net asset values (derived the
manager of such instruments) and used judgement over the use of
those net asset values. The net asset values are generally derived
from the underlying portfolios which are themselves valued using
unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs comprise
the long term revenue growth rate, long term pre-tax operating
margin and discounts for lack of marketability. A change in any of
these inputs may result in a change in the fair value of such
investments.
There have been no significant movements between level 1 and
level 2 during the period.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the opening and
closing amount of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities which
are recorded at fair value:
At 1 January Gains recorded Purchases Sales and At 30 June
2018 in profit and transfers transfers 2018
or loss
----------------- ------------- --------------- --------------- ----------- -----------
Total financial
assets 4,979 86 1,316 (4) 6,377
------------- --------------- --------------- ----------- -----------
Based on the established fair value and model governance
policies and the related controls and procedural safeguards the
Group employs, management believe the resulting estimates in fair
values recorded in the statement of financial position are
reasonable and the most appropriate at the balance sheet date.
