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.
