Chairman's and Group Managing Director's Statement
Overview
On 30 June 2010, Davenham announced the completion of the
strategic review (undertaken in conjunction with Hawkpoint Partners
Limited, the Group's NOMAD and financial adviser), which concluded
that Davenham should cease to write new business and that, with the
support of its banking syndicate, Davenham would collect in its
loan books in a prudent and orderly manner.
Following the announcement of the conclusion of the strategic
review, the detailed parameters of the run-off were finalised with
the banking syndicate, securing a stable platform during the
run-off period and enabling the Group to access the required levels
of working capital to meet its day to day liabilities as they fall
due.
During the first half of the current financial year, the Group
has made continued progress in reducing the size of the Group's
loan portfolio and operating cost base.
On 23 February 2011, Davenham announced that it entered into an
exclusivity and standstill agreement (the "Exclusivity Agreement")
with Davenham's largest shareholder Kingswood Property Finance
Limited Partnership ("Kingswood"), Moor Park Capital Partners LLP
("Moor Park Capital") and the members of the Group's Banking
Syndicate (the "Banking Syndicate") which ceases on 31 March 2011,
in order to permit more detailed discussions to take place in
relation to the potential reconstruction of the Group to enable one
or more of its divisions to recommence writing new business.
The Board wishes to reiterate its view that, even if Kingswood,
Moor Park Capital and the Banking Syndicate reach agreement on a
potential restructuring of the Group, it is likely that there will
be no value for shareholders' current shareholdings in
Davenham.
Financial review
As stated in the Group's final results, announced on 24 November
2010, the Board do not consider it appropriate to prepare the
Group's financial statements on a going concern basis. The results
for the half year ended 31 December 2010 have, therefore, been
prepared on a break-up basis, as defined in the Group's accounting
policies.
The results for the six months ended 31 December 2010 reflect a
continuation of the challenging trading conditions for our loan
books. The property loan book has been particularly impacted, with
the Group continuing to face challenges due to the ongoing
difficulties experienced within the UK property market. The vast
majority of the property loan portfolio is non-performing,
resulting in reduced income and continued operating losses.
Revenue for the six months to 31 December 2010 was GBP11.6
million (2009: GBP17.4 million), Finance costs were reduced to
GBP4.3 million (2009: GBP7.4 million), reflecting the continued
reduction in the levels of Bank debt. The focused run-off has seen
the cost base continue to contract with administrative expenses
reduced to GBP5.2 million (2009: GBP6.2 million).
The operating loss before taxation and exceptional items was
GBP9.7 million (2009: GBP7.7 million), after an impairment charge
for the period of GBP12.7 million (2009: GBP11.7 million).
Exceptional items comprised mainly of redundancy and refinancing
costs of GBP2.7 million (2009: GBP0.4 million) which were partially
offset by a profit on the de-designated interest rate swaps of
GBP1.7 million (2009 1.4 million). As a result of the redundancies
made during the period, Davenham will realise annualised cost
savings of GBP1.8m.
After exceptional items, the operating loss before taxation was
GBP10.7 million (2009: GBP8.0 million). Fully diluted losses per
share for the period were 51.55p (2009: 34.06p).
The net liabilities of the Group were GBP36.8 million as at 31
December 2010 (as at 31 December 2009 net assets: GBP3.0 million),
primarily reflecting impairment in the property portfolio and the
impact of continuing trading losses.
The work to realise cash from the loan book has resulted in a
net reduction in borrowings of GBP31.2 million in the period (2009:
GBP32.7 million). Net cash at the period end was GBP4.1 million
(2009: GBP6.9 million).
Loan portfolio, loss provisioning and recoveries:
Overall the net loan book has reduced from GBP144.2 million at
31 December 2009 to GBP65.1 million at 31 December 2010.
The net property loan portfolio represented GBP38.8 million at
31 December 2010 (2009: GBP81.0 million), the net trade loan
portfolio represented GBP7.7 million (2009: GBP20.1 million) and
the net asset loan portfolio represented GBP18.6 million (2009:
GBP43.0 million).
Loan loss provisions stood at GBP46.2 million at 31 December
2010 (2009: GBP44.0 million), representing GBP39.2 million in the
property book (2009: GBP37.5 million), GBP3.5 million in the trade
book (2009: GBP2.4 million), and GBP3.5 million in the asset book
(2009: GBP4.1 million).
Since 30 June 2010, the Group has continued to make progress
with the run-off of the book including the transfer of Manor Credit
operations to Davenham's head office and the closure of its office.
As at 30 March 2011, the key financial indicators for the Group
were as follows:
-- Loan portfolio reduced to c.GBP46.0m
-- Bank facility reduced to GBP86.3m
In the absence of a successful conclusion to the discussions
with Kingswood and Moor Park Capital, further reductions to the
cost base/ headcount are expected as the Group continues to run-off
its loan portfolios.
Funding
As announced on 28 March 2011 the current facility, which was
negotiated in March 2009 has been extended until 30 September 2011.
The facility remains on demand.
Dividend
Davenham is not in a position to pay a dividend during the
current financial period.
People
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our staff
for their continued hard work and commitment to the Group during
the run-off of the business.
Summary
Davenham continues to collect in its loan book with the support
of the banking syndicate.

Notes to the Interim Report
For the six months ended 31 December 2010
1. Basis of preparation
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the
Alternative Investment Market (AIM) Rule 18 and the accounting
policies described below.
The Group is required to prepare its annual consolidated
financial statements and its interim report in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by
the European Union.
The financial information included in this interim report for
the six months ended 31 December 2010 does not constitute statutory
accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 and is
unaudited, but subject to a review opinion. The comparative figures
for the six months ended 31 December 2009 were also subject to a
review opinion. The comparative figures for the year to 30 June
2010 have been extracted from the Group's consolidated financial
statements, on which the auditors gave an unqualified opinion and
did not make a statement under section 498 of the Companies Act
2006 and which were approved by the Board on 24 November 2010 and
delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
Going Concern
Company Law requires the Directors to prepare financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the state of the
affairs of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for the
period under review. Fundamental to this requirement is that the
Directors consider whether it is appropriate to prepare the
financial statements on a going concern basis.
As noted within the Annual Report and Accounts for the year
ended 30 June 2010, following detailed discussions held with the
Group's lenders, the banking syndicate agreed on 31 July 2010 to
certain amendments to the Group's Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF')
whereby previous facility step-downs were removed and the facility
became of a repayable on demand type nature. The contractual
maturity of the facility has been extended to 30 September 2011
(albeit that it remains repayable on demand).
The Group has ceased writing new business and is in the process
of collecting in its outstanding loan books.
As the Directors still consider the Group to no longer be a
going concern, the financial statements have been prepared on a
break-up basis and all assets and liabilities stated at their
recoverable value.
Break-up Basis
The accounting policies have been applied to derive the
recoverable amounts of the Group's assets and liabilities. The
assets and liabilities have not been prepared using fair values,
except where stated, but based upon expected cashflows following an
orderly collect out of outstanding loans. No provision has been
made for future operating losses in accordance with IAS 37
requirements.
2. Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those set
out in the 2010 Annual Report and Accounts on pages 23 to 28.
3. Risks and uncertainties
The Group is exposed to a number of risks arising from the
nature of its business and the environment in which it operates.
The Group operates in an environment that potentially exposes it to
higher risks than other mainstream business to business asset
secured finance providers, this being especially true of the
Group's exposure to the property sector.
The principal risk categories facing the Group are outlined on
pages 6 to 9 of our 2010 Annual Report and Accounts. These risks
remain relevant for the foreseeable future and comprise primarily
of Credit and Treasury Risk, including Counterparty Risk. In
addition, risks associated with the funding position of the Group
are set out in Note 1 above "Basis of Preparation".
The Group's current goals and its expectations in relation to
the future run-off of the Group's portfolio involve risks and
uncertainties which are dependent on future events and
circumstances which may be beyond its control. These include, among
others, UK economic and business conditions and market related
risks (such as fluctuations in interest rates) and any decision by
the Group's banking syndicate to call in the facility (or not to
extend it beyond its expiry on 30 September 2011).
4. Segmental Information
A business segment is a distinguishable component of the Group
that provides products that are subject to risks and returns that
are different from those of other business segments. Management has
determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by
the Directors that are used to make strategic decisions. The
reportable operating segments derive their revenue primarily from
the granting of credit to businesses including loans, hire
purchase, finance lease arrangements and working capital
facilities. The three operating segments are Property Finance,
Trade Finance and Asset Finance.

5. Taxation
The Group has continued to maintain its position of only
recognising deferred tax assets in respect of temporary differences
in relation to IFRS portfolio adjustments and derivatives because
it is probable that these assets will be recovered. Any deferred
tax arising on unclaimed capital allowances and losses carried
forward have not been recognised as the Group is unlikely to make
any future taxable profits against which to offset these. The tax
charge period to date of GBP2,105k reflects the positive movement
of the IFRS portfolio adjustments and derivatives.
A deferred tax asset of GBP10.6m in respect of losses carried
forward has not been recognised as the directors do not consider
there will be any future taxable profits available against which to
offset these losses.

Independent review report to Davenham Group plc
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 31 December 2010, which comprises the Consolidated
Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income,
Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow and related notes. 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 half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible
for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with
the AIM Rules for Companies.
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the
group are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the
European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included
in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 1.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report based on our review. This report, including the
conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the
purpose of the AIM Rules for Companies and for no other purpose. We
do not, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility
for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is
shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed
by our prior consent in writing.
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 Auditing Practices Board 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 Ireland) 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 31
December 2010 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the basis set out in note 1 and the AIM Rules for
Companies.
Emphasis of Matter - Going concern and Basis of preparation
In forming our review conclusion, which is not modified, we have
considered the adequacy of the disclosures in note 1 to the
condensed set of financial statements which explain that the Group
has ceased writing new business and will now collect in the
existing loan portfolios. As a result, the Directors concluded that
preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis was no
longer appropriate, and therefore the condensed set of financial
statements has been prepared on a break-up basis. The condensed set
of financial statements includes the necessary adjustments in
accordance with this basis of preparation.
