Chairman's Statement and Chief Executive's Review

The component parts of Westside continue to show a satisfactory performance.

Financial Results and Operating Activities

For the six months ended 30 June 2013, we are reporting total comprehensive loss attributable to the owners of the company of £9,482 (2012: total comprehensive loss attributable to the owners of £97,309).

Westside holds 85.87% of the issued share capital of Pantheon Leisure plc ('Pantheon') which in turn wholly owns the operating businesses of the Elms Group, Pantheon's sports and leisure division.

Westside also holds 100% of the issued share capital of Reverse Take-Over Investments plc ('RTI') which holds a portfolio of investments in AIM listed companies.

Westside also owns 50% of the issued share capital of Westside Mining plc ('Mining'), a joint venture owned 50:50 with Mr Bruce Rowan. It is intended that Mining should exploit opportunities as they become available to it in the mining, commodity and natural resource sectors. This company has not traded in the period.

We are pleased to report a satisfactory trading performance for the Elms Group and in the underlying investment portfolio of Reverse Take-Over Investments Plc ('RTI').

As is customary we are not recommending the payment of a dividend.

Pantheon Leisure Plc ('Pantheon')

For the 6 months ended 30 June 2013 the group headed by Pantheon made operating profits of £14,667 (2012: £16,406).

The Elms Group comprises two trading companies, Sport in Schools Limited, also known as Elms Sport in Schools ('SIS') and Football Partners Limited also known as Elms Small Sided Football ('ESSF').

Elms Sport in Schools ('SIS')

The turnover of SIS increased by 14% to £629,031 for the half year and contributed a divisional profit of £79,183.

SIS delivers sports teaching to the school classroom during curriculum time and in accordance with curriculum requirements. During school holiday periods The Elms operates multi sport holiday camps at The Elms and on school premises which are paid for by the parents and sometimes by the schools.

The coaching staff of SIS which now number approximately 100 coaches are highly qualified and have to pass stringent tests and vetting procedures to be able to operate in this space. The service is paid for by the schools.

In addition, we offer breakfast, lunchtime and after school clubs paid for by the parents. We recognise performance of the children through our specialised league tables dedicated to each school.

During each of the holiday breaks we hold sports camps paid for by the parents and sometimes subsidised by the Local Authority (when this comes under the heading of the extended day).

The Elms Small Sided Football ('ESSF')

Our 5-a-side football activities conducted through ESSF produced a solid result in a difficult market. Turnover was down 2.4% at £241,416 and this resulted in an operating loss of £7,977.

Pantheon also holds 6,254,000 ordinary shares in Fitbug Holdings Plc ('Fitbug'), the AIM listed provider of online personal health and well-being services which represents a 3.7% interest in the enlarged share capital of Fitbug.

Fitbug markets a sophisticated activity tracking device which feeds data between the company and the individual with the aim of developing and maintaining a health and fitness regime. The service is aimed mainly at strategic partnerships with corporate organisations concerned with the wellbeing of their employees and the main customer market is based in the United States. Health insurance companies and corporates integrate the Fitbug activity device to be an additional feature within their own service/product offering. Fitbug also sells its service to the consumer market.

Fitbug's main focus is centred on building strategic partnerships with organisations - with the United States as a key market - which can integrate Fitbug into their own service/product offering or resell the Fitbug product to their customer base.

Reverse Take-Over Investments Plc

The investments held by RTI are as follows:

Messaging International Plc ('Messaging')

Messaging, the AIM traded provider of innovative messaging services completed the buyback and cancellation of some 40 million ordinary shares following a Tender Offer that closed on 31st May 2013. This transaction has enabled us to dispose of 82% of our holding for £202,676 equating to 1p per share

RTI and Westside continue to hold a total of some 4.5 million shares representing approximately 3.9% of the issued share capital of Messaging.

Aeorema Communications Plc ('Aeorema') (formerly Cheerful Scout)

Aeorema, the AIM-traded media specialists, announced interim results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2012 with revenues up by some 35% and profits after taxation of £98,382. Aeorema is cash rich and continues to serve a wide range of leading companies - established in the UK and USA.

RTI holds 300,000 ordinary shares representing some 3.7% of the issued share of Aeorema.

Outlook

We anticipate further growth in our sports coaching activities as Elms Sport in Schools develops additional links with schools currently served and for it to engage with more schools.

We are currently examining new initiatives which we consider will draw on our expertise in the sports sector.
