Chairman's statement

A year ago I was able to report our best ever half year results. I am pleased to be able to do so again this year.

Financial Performance

Group profit before tax and goodwill impairment for the six months ended 30 June 2012 was £4.9m (2011: £4.8m), an increase of 3.3%. New business generation in this period matched the high level of the same period last year, with annualised new business premiums from the group's core employee benefits and insurance activities (namely our hospital, convalescence and death benefits plans) of £4.1m (2011: £4.0m).

Claims incurred during the period have remained in line with the board's expectations.

As mentioned in my statement in the 2011 Annual Report, we have stopped accepting new investment business into Berkeley Morgan Limited (BML) from 1 April 2012. As expected this has had no adverse impact on BML profit. Volumes of business into Universal Provident, the other major subsidiary of Berkeley Morgan Group (BMG), have, however, fallen short of expectations, and following an impairment review the decision has been taken to reduce BMG goodwill in the group balance sheet by £0.8m, to £2.1m.

Total equity at 30 June 2012 was £25.8m (30 June 2011: £24.4m, 31 December 2011: £25.7m). This includes net cash balances (including bank deposits classified under IFRS as financial assets) of over £14.7m (30 June 2011: £13.0m, 31 December 2011: £14.1m).

Business Review

Our results evidence the continuing strength and progress of our core business. At the same time a series of strategic initiatives have been carried on under the direction of our new Chief Executive, Mark Scanlon. These include:

·;	a full strategy review, which was presented to and agreed by the group board and is currently being implemented;
·;	strengthening the management team, as explained below;
·;	a thorough analysis of all the customer engagement aspects of our business: we are now implementing a series of initiatives to further improve the customer experience;
·;	a review of our IT provision and usage, as well as of our digital strategy: as a consequence all our sales executives are now presenting the benefit programmes, including our core products, using iPads. Initial feedback suggests that this has been well received by our customers;
·;	a project directed at the reward, recognition and career paths of our employees, to ensure that we can attract and retain the highest quality and most motivated people in our business; and
·;	the refreshment of our Vision and Values and an ongoing review of the longer-term shape, direction and focus of our business in a market which presents considerable opportunity and potential.

The Management Team

As part of the drive to develop the business, and in consequence of Chief Operating Officer Ken Rooney's indication of his wish to retire in early 2014, the management team is being strengthened. David Walker, formerly Sales Director at Dyson (GB) has been appointed as Commercial Director, and a further senior appointment has been made to head up our customer engagement activity. Other key appointments are expected to follow in the coming months.

Dividends

The first three dividends of 2012, each of 4.45p per share, have been paid in March and June and on 21 September. The directors expect that a fourth and final dividend for 2012 of the same amount will be paid in December. This would give a total for the year of 17.8p per share (2011: 17.4p per share).

Outlook

Demand for our core products remains strong and trading for the current period remains in line with the board's expectations. Much work is underway to improve our customer offering and to strengthen our competitive advantage. The board therefore remains optimistic for the prospects of the group.

3 Segment analysis

The group operates two trading operating segments, namely employee benefits insurance and consultancy; and financial services offered by Berkeley Morgan Group Limited (BMG) and its subsidiary undertakings.

1) Employee benefits insurance and consultancy

Personal Assurance Plc (PA), a subsidiary within the group, is an FSA regulated general insurance company and is authorised to transact accident and sickness insurance. It was established in 1984 and has been underwriting business since 1985. In 1997 Personal Group Holdings Plc (PGH) was created and became the ultimate parent undertaking of the group.

This operating segment derives the majority of its revenue from the underwriting by PA of insurance policies that have been bought by employees of host companies via bespoke benefit programmes.

Insurance related income includes insurance and reinsurance brokerage commission. Insurance brokerage commission includes that derived from voluntary group income protection plan sales.

Non-insurance related income includes income derived from the sale of benefit books, consultancy services and property rental income.

2) Financial services

The financial services operating segment consists exclusively of revenue generated by BMG and its subsidiary undertakings. BMG was acquired by PGH in January 2005.

Financial services revenue consists mainly of commission generated by financial advisers and commission generated from insurance underwriting agencies.

The revenue and net result generated by each of the group's operating segments are summarised as follows:

	Employee benefits £'000	Financial services £'000	Unallocated £'000	Consolidation adjustments £'000	Group £'000
