financial brokers that are keen to offer customers an alternative solution to
the market leader.  Whilst this required meaningful investment, we began to
see solid month-on-month revenue growth and expect this to increase further
once our infrastructure is fully in place.

Pro forma results 
 
On a pro forma basis, Trusttwo generated pro forma revenue of £2.4m (2015:
n/a) and pro forma operating profit of £0.7m (2015: n/a).  Administration
costs almost doubled in the second half versus the first half as we invested
in building the infrastructure (people, systems and processes) to be able to
grow revenues substantially in 2017 once all elements of our customer
experience are working as planned.

Plans for 2017 
 
We will soon be launching a much improved website that we expect will attract
more customers as well as improve conversion rates further.  The new site will
also expand our existing product parameters thereby increasing our appeal to
potential customers that are looking to tailor any offer to best suit their
needs.  The launch will be accompanied by a fully-integrated marketing
campaign across all key channels including online, social as well as through
referrals from the Everyday Loans branch network.  So far we have been pleased
with the positive response from staff in the branches and hope to make further
progress on increasing the number of referrals and conversion rates during
2017.  Financial brokers represent a significant opportunity for Trusttwo and
we have been leveraging Everyday Loans' excellent relationships as well as
building new ones with additional brokers and lead generators for whom the
Trusttwo proposition is more attractive. 
 
With our infrastructure and funding in place, we believe that there is a
substantial opportunity for Trusttwo to become the clear number two in the
UK's guaranteed loans market.

19 Adjusted to exclude the amortisation of acquired intangibles related to the
acquisition of Loans at Home and Everyday Loans and exceptional items 
 
Normalised administrative expenses, including head office costs and other
expenses associated with the running of the plc (before the amortisation of
acquired intangibles and exceptional items) were £3.3m (2015: £2.7m). The
amortisation of intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of Loans
at Home and Everyday Loans was £10.7m (2015: £4.0m) reflecting a full period
of amortisation for Loans at Home and eight months for Everyday Loans. An
exceptional item charge of £0.6m was incurred in the year and related to stamp
duty paid at completion on the acquisition of Everyday Loans (2015: £5.5m). 
The charge in the prior year related to acquisition-related expenses. Finance
costs of £0.3m (2015: finance income of £0.1m) were also incurred in the first
half and related to the non-utilisation fee on the Everyday Loans bank
facility prior to the drawdown at completion. 
 
Principal risks 
 
There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could have a
material impact on the Group's performance and that could cause reported and
pro forma results to differ materially from expected and historical results 
 
The principal risks facing the Group, together with the Group's risk
management process in relation to these risks, are unchanged from those
reported in the Group's Annual Report for the period ended 31 December 2015
(which is available for download at www.nonstandardfinance.com), save that we
have also now included an additional risk relating to reputation.  The
principal risks relate to the following areas: 
 
 ·  Conduct - risk of poor outcomes for our customers or other key stakeholders as a result of the Group's actions;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 ·  Regulation - risk through changes to regulations or a failure to comply with existing rules and regulations;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 ·  Credit - risk of loss through poor underwriting or a diminution in the credit quality of the Group's customers;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 ·  Business strategy and operations - risk that the Group fails to execute its plan as expected or that the outcome from executing such strategy is not as planned;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
 ·  Liquidity - while the Group is well-capitalised and has secured committed debt facilities of £95m with an opportunity to increase, with the consent of the banks, to £120m, prevailing uncertainty in global financial markets following the UK's decision to leave the European Union means that there is a risk that the Group may be unable to secure sufficient finance in the future to execute its long-term business strategy; and  
 ·  Reputation - a failure to manage one or more of the risks above may damage the reputation of the Group or any of its subsidiaries that in turn may materially impact the future operational and/or financial performance of the Group.

As at 31 December 2016 the Group had cash of £5.2m (2015: £7.3m) with debt of
£87.3m (2015: £nil). This cash balance reflects the acquisition of Everyday
Loans (including Trusttwo) and associated fundraising for the acquisition
together with the trading activities of the Group during the year . The
year-end cash balance also reflects the seasonal peak in lending that takes
place in December at Loans at Home which reduces cash at 31 December, but
subsequently gets collected in the weeks following the year end.

2. Revenue 
 
Revenue is recognised by applying the EIR to the carrying value of a loan. The

the future contractual cash receipts from a loan to the amount of cash
advanced under the loan, plus directly attributable issue costs. In addition,
the EIR takes account of customers repaying early.

Exceptional items are included within 'expenses not allowable for taxation'
due the nature of the transactions, being in relation to the acquisitions of
Loans at Home and Everyday Loans. At 31 December 2016 exceptional items
totalled £626,000 (2015: £5,542,000) 
 
Reductions in the UK corporation tax rate from 20% to 19% (effective from 1
April 2017) were substantively enacted on 26 October 2015. A further reduction
in the rate from 19% to 17% (effective from 1 April 2020) was substantively
enacted on 6 September 2016.  This will reduce the company's future current
tax charge accordingly. The deferred tax liability at 31 December 2016 has
been calculated based on the rate of 19% substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date. 
 
6. Loss per share 
 
                                                                              Year ended31 Dec 2016  Period from incorporation to 31 Dec 2015

The loss per share was calculated on the basis of net loss attributable to
Ordinary Shareholders divided by the weighted average number of Ordinary
Shares. The basic and diluted loss per share is the same, as the exercise of
share options would reduce the loss per share and is anti-dilutive. 
 
                                                                    Year ended31 Dec 2016'000  Period from incorporation to 31 Dec 2015

7. Dividends 
 
The Directors have recommended a final dividend in respect of the year ended
31 December 2016 of 0.9 pence per share (2015: nil) which will amount to an
estimated final dividend payment of £2,853,000. This final dividend is not
reflected in the balance sheet as it is recommended to be paid after the
balance sheet date.

The goodwill recognised represents the difference between the purchase
consideration and the net assets acquired (including intangible assets
recognised upon acquisition). 
 
The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there
are indications that goodwill might be impaired. The assessment of impairment
of goodwill reflects a number of key estimates, each of which can have a
material effect on the carrying value of the asset. These include: 
 
 ·  cash flow forecasts which have been extracted from the budget, which involves inherent uncertainty, particularly in respect of gross loan values, collections performance and the cost base of the business;  
 ·  the price earnings multiple applied to the cash flow forecasts;                                                                                                                                               
 ·  estimates made on the disposal costs of the business; and                                                                                                                                                     
 ·  the weighted average cost of capital ('WACC')  applied to determine the net present value ('NPV') of future cash flows.                                                                                       
 
 
The recoverable amount has been determined based on a fair value less cost to
sell calculation.  That calculation uses cash flow projections based on
financial budgets approved by management covering a three year period to 31
December 2019, disposal costs have been estimated at 2% and a discount rate
(WACC) of 12% used for the Group. The Directors have estimated the discount
rate using post-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the market. None of the goodwill is
tax deductible. 
 
Loans at Home goodwill impairment assessment: Considering the key estimates
above, the Group has identified that the following movements, which may
necessitate an impairment charge to the carrying value of goodwill: 
 
 ·  a 3% reduction in forecast 2019 earnings;          
 ·  a 3% reduction in the price earnings multiple;     
 ·  an increase in the disposal costs to 5.5%; and/or  
 ·  an increase in the WACC to 14%.                    
 
 
Everyday Loans goodwill impairment assessment: It would require a movement of
greater than 20% in all of the judgements and estimates to give rise to a
potential impairment charge to the carrying value of goodwill recognised on
the Everyday Loans acquisition. 
 
At 31 December 2016 the fair value less cost to sell of the goodwill was in
excess of its carrying amount by £36.1m at Everyday Loans (2015: n/a) and
£2.3m at Loans at Home (2015: £51.2m) when applying the lowest valuation as
specified in the accounting policies.

Intangible assets include intangibles in respect of the customer list and
agent relationships at Loans at Home (formerly Loansathome4u) and acquisition
intangibles in respect of the customer list, broker relationships and credit
decisioning technology at Everyday Loans and the Everyday Loans and Trusttwo
brand. 
 
The fair value of the customer list of Loans at Home and Everyday Loans on
acquisition has been estimated by calculating the Net Present Value (NPV) of
the discounted cash flows from each new re-loan provided to this, discrete set
of known customers. The Board of Directors will re-calculate the NPV at each
future accounting date using the same assumptions, limited to the original
known customer lists. 
 
The fair value of Loans at Home's agent relationships on acquisition has been
estimated by valuing the cost to set up a similar network of trained agents. 
 
The fair value of Everyday Loans' broker relationships on acquisition has been
estimated by calculating the NPV of the discounted cash flows from the cost
avoided each year due to having the broker relationships in place on new loan
volumes written by existing brokers. The Board of Directors will re-calculate
the NPV at each future accounting date using the same assumptions, limited to
the then existing brokers. 
 
The fair value of Everyday Loans' credit decisioning technology on acquisition
has been estimated by assessing the likely commercial level of royalties that
would be payable to a third party were the technology licenced rather than
owned, calculated as a percentage of forecast revenues and discounted to the
date of the transaction. The Board of Directors will assess the technology for
impairment using the same methodology at each future accounting date. 
 
The fair value of the Loans at Home's brand (which at acquisition was
loansathome4u) and Everyday Loans' brand on acquisition has been estimated by
assessing the likely commercial level of royalties that would be payable to a
third party were the brand licenced rather than owned, calculated as a
percentage of forecast revenues and discounted to the date of the transaction.
Due to rebranding, the loansathome4u brand to Loans at Home, the intangible
asset was written off during the period. The Board of Directors will assess
the Everyday Loans brand for impairment using the same methodology at each
future accounting date.

 Amounts receivable from customers  180,413    28,412     
 
 
Customer receivables originated by the Group are initially recognised at the
amount loaned to the customer plus directly attributable costs. Subsequently,
receivables are increased by revenue and reduced by cash collections and any
deduction for impairment. The Directors assess on an ongoing basis whether
there is objective evidence that customer receivables are impaired at each
balance sheet date. 
 
The movement on the loan loss provision for the period relates to the
provision at Loans at Home for the year and Everyday Loans since the date of
acquisition. The amounts receivable from customers were recognised at fair
value (net loan book value) at the date of acquisition, the amounts receivable
are subsequently measured at amortised cost net of any impairment.

The deferred tax liability was recognised on the intangible assets upon
acquisition of Loans at Home and of Everyday Loans. The intangible assets will
be amortised in future periods for which tax deductions will not be
available. 
 
The deferred tax liability is attributable to temporary timing differences
arising in respect of:

 Net deferred tax liability           (6,793)    (3,057)    
 
 
For the year ended 31 December 2016 the Company has unused tax losses of
£154,000 (2015: £1,822,000) available for offset against future profits.
However, due to the uncertainty over the likelihood of future profits at the
Company level, the deferred asset has not been recognised on the Company or
Consolidated statement of financial position. 
 
12. Acquisition of Everyday Loans 
 
On 13 April 2016, the Group obtained control of the Everyday Loans Holdings
Limited group, which consists of Everyday Loans Holdings Limited, Everyday
Loans Limited and Everyday Lending Limited. The Group obtained control through
the purchase of 100% of the share capital. The Everyday Loans group
acquisition satisfies two of Non-Standard Finance plc's target sectors,
branch-based unsecured lending and guaranteed loans (Trusttwo). 
 
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Everyday Loans
as at the acquisition date were as follows: 
 
                                           Amounts recognised at acquisition date £'000  Fair value adjustments £'000  Total £'000
