Personal Injury (PI) business continues and the changes put in
place are now yielding positive results.
"Our wholly owned law firm, National Accident Law, has made
encouraging progress since its launch in April 2019 and we are
continuing to grow the number of enquiries being placed through our
Legal Services business unit. Our focus remains on taking an
economic interest in the success of the whole claim and capturing
more value over the long-term. To this end, we are pleased to
announce the launch of a new law firm, Law Together LLP, to help
take advantage of the opportunities ahead.
"In our Critical Care division, we saw another strong
performance, growing operating profit by 12.6% in the period as we
begin the process of investing in the technology platform to
position it for further growth. Conditions within the residential
property market have been well documented and remain challenging.
The leadership team in our Residential Property division are
focused on a range of initiatives to grow market share.
"We are encouraged by the progress made in the year so far, and
although fully cognisant of the challenges ahead, we remain
confident of achieving a full year result in line with our
underlying EPS(1) expectations."

Interim Management Statement
I am pleased to report the Group's results for the six months
ended 30 June 2019.
Summary of Financial Performance
During the first half of 2019, the Group has performed in line
with the Board's underlying EPS expectations. Revenue grew by 3.9%
to GBP25.8m (H1 2018: GBP24.9m) and underlying operating profit
increased by 1.7% to GBP6.5m (H1 2018: GBP6.4m).

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ------- -------
Underlying operating profit before start-up losses associated with NAL 7.0 6.4 0.6 10.6
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ------- -------
Underlying operating profit was net of GBP0.5m of planned
start-up losses associated with the Group's new law firm, National
Accident Law ("NAL"). Whilst they don't conform to the Group's
definition of exceptional costs, these start-up losses comprise the
operating loss for the first six months after launch, as the
business is scaling up and still refining its processes. The
underlying operating profit before start-up losses associated with
NAL was GBP7.0m, which represents growth of 10.6% on last year.
The Group also incurred GBP0.8m (H1 2018: GBP0.1m) of
exceptional costs associated with our business transformation. We
continue to carefully manage these costs and are pleased that they
remain in line with plan.
After deducting minority interest payments associated with the
Group's ABS law firms, which are rising as a result of increased
volumes, underlying earnings per share was 7.4p (H1 2018: 9.9p),
which was consistent with the Board's expectation.
Trading Review - Personal Injury ("PI")
The PI division performed in line with plan in the first half.
Revenue increased 5.1% to GBP16.3m and underlying operating profit
increased 2.8% to GBP4.8m.
The strategic transformation of PI continues and, pleasingly,
the contribution from our Legal Services business unit is slightly
ahead of expectations during the period. This includes the Group's
wholly owned law firm, NAL, which has made encouraging progress
since its launch in April 2019, and we are now turning our
attention to finalising our small claims proposition, albeit we
still require Government confirmation of some important elements of
the small claims process.
We are encouraged that panel demand has remained stable during
the period and we have agreed a number of deals with panel firms
that extend beyond the reform implementation date, currently
planned for April 2020. We continue to grow the proportion of our
enquiries placed into our Legal Services business unit, in support
of our chosen strategy.
National Accident Helpline ("NAH") continues to operate in
challenging market conditions, driven by competitive pressures. The
Board expects these to persist until the implementation date of the
legal reforms. NAH management continue to adapt the business'
marketing and placement tactics to respond and optimise its
performance. As part of this, we are investing in re-platforming
the NAH website in early 2020 which will keep us at the forefront
of digital marketing performance.
Our largest ABS venture, Your Law LLP, performed ahead of
expectations in the first half and continues to grow. It has
achieved damages to date of over GBP16m. Together with our partner
in this venture, NewLaw LLP, we are pleased with the progress made
and look forward to further developing this relationship.
I am pleased to announce that on 16 September we entered into a
contract to launch a new law firm, called Law Together LLP. This
venture, which is operated in partnership with Horwich Cohen
Coghlan Solicitors, is consistent with the ongoing evolution of our
ABS strategy, enabling us to maintain our placement strategy and
manage the working capital demands of running personal injury
claims. Law Together is the third joint venture law firm to have
been established by NAH following the launch of Your Law and
National Law Partners in 2017 and is scheduled to launch in October
2019.
Trading Review - Critical Care
Our Critical Care division has had a good H1, driven largely by
organic growth from its case management business. Revenue increased
10.4% to GBP6.6m, and underlying operating profit was up 12.6% to
GBP2.3m.
The business is progressing a number of initiatives aimed at
maintaining this growth and intends to upgrade its technology
platform in 2020, which will create efficiencies and deliver
further process improvements.
Trading Review - Residential Property
The residential property market has deteriorated further in H1
and this has impacted our results. First half revenue was down
12.8% to GBP3.0m and underlying operating profit was down 83.7% at
GBP0.1m. Whilst leadership changes made last year are starting to
have a positive effect, the market remains very challenging.
Cash Conversion, Balance Sheet and Interim Dividend
The Group generated free cash flow(1) of GBP0.8m in the first
half (H1 2018: GBP(0.5)m) and underlying cash conversion increased
on the same period last year to 66.5% (H1 2018: 20.3%). Our ABS law
firms made a positive contribution towards a total of GBP4.3m
underlying operating cash flow(1) .
As at 30 June 2019 we had net debt of bank borrowings of
GBP17.6m (H1 2018: GBP17.4m), which was in line with our
expectations.
The Board is declaring an interim dividend of 2.6p per share
payable on 31 October 2019 to ordinary shareholders registered on
27 September 2019. Our policy is to have a dividend cover of twice
underlying EPS, before exceptional costs and non-cash charges.
Current Year Outlook
As a Board, we are pleased with the tangible results achieved
within the PI division in the first half of the year and expect the
Group to continue to make progress with its strategic
transformation in H2. Whilst we do not expect a noticeable
improvement in the market conditions experienced by our Residential
Property or PI divisions, our underlying earnings expectations for
the full year remain unchanged.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Accounting policies
General Information
The half year results for the current and comparative period to
30 June have not been audited or reviewed by auditors pursuant to
the Auditing Practices Board guidance of Review of Interim
Financial Information.
These half year results do not comprise statutory accounts
within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018 were
approved by the Board of Directors on 18 March 2019 and delivered
to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those
accounts was unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter
paragraph and did not contain any statement under Section 498 of
the Companies Act 2006.
Having made due enquiries the Directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason,
they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
condensed set of financial statements.
The condensed set of financial statements was approved by the
Board of Directors on 16 September 2019.
Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
The half year results for the current and comparative period to
30 June have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and the AIM Rules of UK
companies. They do not include all of the information required for
full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31
December 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as
adopted by the European Union.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The following new or amended standards became applicable for the
current reporting period:
IFRS 16 - Leases
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 'Leases' from 1 January 2019 which
has changed lease accounting for lessees under operating leases.
Such agreements now require recognition of an asset, representing
the right to use the leased item, and a liability, representing
future lease payments. Lease costs (such as property rent) are
recognised in the form of depreciation and interest, rather than as
an operating cost. Further information on the impact of IFRS 16 is
given in Note 10.
Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs
requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect
the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised and in
any future years affected.
The preparation of the condensed set of financial statements
requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing the condensed set of financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty
were of the same type as those that applied to the financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim
financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2019 are the
accounting policies as applied to the Group's financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2018 with the addition of IFRS 16
which is discussed in further detail in Note 10.
Statutory and non-statutory measures
The Directors have presented these alternative performance
measures (APMs) in the Interim Results because they believe they
provide additional useful information for shareholders on
underlying business trends and performance. As these APMs are not
defined by IFRS, they may not be directly comparable to other
companies' APMs. They are not intended to be a substitute for, or
superior to, IFRS measurements and the Directors recommend that the
IFRS measures should also be used when users of this document
assess the performance of the Group.
The APMs used in the Interim Results are as defined in the 2018
Annual Report and the principles to identify adjusting items have
been applied on a basis consistent with previous years with the
exception of exceptional revenues arising from the release of the
pre-LASPO ATE liability. Given the magnitude of the pre-LASPO ATE
liability, it is no longer considered to be a material item and
therefore from 1 January 2019 the Directors have made the decision
to no longer include revenues related to the release of this
liability as an exceptional item. The key adjusting items in
arriving at the APMs are as follows:
IFRS 2 Share-based Payments - This is the charge for share-based
payments calculated in line with IFRS 2. IFRS 2 requires the
fair
value of equity instruments measured at grant date to be spread
over the period during which the employees become
unconditionally
entitled to the options. The calculation behind the charge can
fluctuate year-on-year as new grants are made depending on inputs
such
as the expected volatility, the share price, exercise price etc.
and therefore the charge can vary with little correlation to the
underlying
trading activities. For example, in the five years since the
Group's flotation on AIM, the IFRS 2 charge has been as low as
GBP182,000 and
as high as GBP1,052,000. Management therefore believe it is
appropriate to exclude this charge from the underlying operating
profit to
allow for greater comparability of the underlying core trading
performance of the Group year-on-year.
IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations - This is the
amortisation charge for intangible assets arising on acquisitions
and expenditure
arising from acquisition activity. Under IFRS 3 all acquisition
costs are required to be expensed in the Group Income Statement
and
intangible assets arising on acquisition are required to be
amortised over their useful economic life. Management believes that
it is
useful to separately identify these costs due to their
materiality to the Group results and due to the fact that the
amortisation is
calculated on a straight-line basis, it therefore has little
correlation to the trading activities of the acquired entity in any
particular year.
To allow for greater comparability of the trading results
year-on-year, this charge is therefore excluded from underlying
operating profit.
Exceptional items - These are non-recurring items that are
material by nature and separately identified to allow for greater
comparability of underlying Group operating results year on year.
Examples of exceptional items in the current and/or previous years
include
reorganisation and restructuring costs; revaluation of liability
associated with legacy ATE products; and acquisition related
costs.
Exceptional costs are separately identified to allow for greater
comparability of underlying Group operating results
year-on-year.
The APMS presented in the Interim Results are defined as

1. These are the respective underlying profits of the division.
2. Pre-LASPO ATE liabilities include the balance of commissions
received in advance that are due to be paid back to the
insurance
provider of GBP200,000 (June 2018: GBP865,000, December 2018:
GBP301,000). From January 2019 this balance was no longer
considered to be material and going forward will now be presented
as part of Personal Injury.
3. Total assets and segment liabilities exclude intercompany
loan balances as these do not form part of the operating activities
of the segment.
Geographic information
All revenue and assets of the Group are based in the UK.
Operating segments
The activities of the Group are managed by the Board, which is
deemed to be the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM
has identified the following segments for the purpose of
performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. These
segments are split along product lines and are consistent with
those reported last year.
Personal Injury - Revenue from the provision of enquiries to the
Panel Law Firms, based on a cost plus margin model, plus
commissions received from providers for the sale of additional
products by them to the Panel Law Firms and in the case of the
ABSs, revenue receivable from clients for the provision of legal
services.
Critical Care - Revenue from the provision of expert witness
reports and case management support within the medico-legal
framework for multi-track cases.
Residential Property - Revenue from the provision of online
marketing services to target homebuyers and sellers in England and
Wales, offering lead generation services to Panel Law Firms and
surveyors in the conveyancing sector and the provision of
conveyancing searches for solicitors and licensed conveyancers.
Group - Costs that are incurred in managing Group activities or
not specifically related to a product.
Pre-LASPO ATE - Revenue is commissions received from the
insurance provider for the use of after the event policies by Panel
Law Firms. From 1 April 2013, this product was no longer available
as a result of LASPO regulatory changes. Included in the balance
sheet is a liability relating to commissions received in advance
that are due to be paid back to the insurance provider. No interest
is due on this liability.
Other items - Costs associated with the acquisition of
subsidiary undertakings, reorganisation costs associated with
exceptional projects that are not related to the core operations of
the business, share-based payments and amortisation charges on
intangible assets recognised as part of business combinations.

The Group's tax charge of GBP424,000 (June 2018: GBP953,000,
December 2018: GBP1,389,000) represents an effective tax rate of
9.3% (June 2018: 18.1%, December 2018: 14.2%). The effective tax
rate is lower than the standard corporation tax rate of 19.0% for
the reasons as set out above. The most significant of these is that
the Group does not account for the non-controlling interests' share
of tax. This results in a reduction in effective tax rate of 10.7%
(June 2018: 2.0%, December 2018: 3.3%).
Changes in tax rates and factors affecting the future tax
charge
A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 19.0% to 18.0%
(effective from 1 April 2020) was substantively enacted on 26
October 2015 and an additional reduction to 17.0% (effective from 1
April 2020) were substantively enacted on 6 September 2017. This
will reduce the Group's future current tax charge accordingly. The
deferred tax assets and liabilities at 30 June 2019have been
calculated based on these rates.

It is the Group's intention to repay the balance on the
revolving credit facility in more than 12 months time and hence the
gross balance of GBP19,750,000 is deemed to be a non-current
liability.
10. Changes in accounting policies
The Group has adopted the modified retrospective approach with
the right of use asset measured as if IFRS 16 had been applied
since the commencement date of a lease using a discount rate based
on the Group's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial
application and the lease liability at transition date as the
present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the
Group's
incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application,
adjusted by any prepayments or lease incentives recognised
immediately before the date of initial application. Under the
modified retrospective transition approach, the comparative
information is not restated.
The Group has elected to apply a single discount rate to assets
with similar characteristics. The Group has also elected not to
recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term
leases or low-value assets. The Group will continue to expense the
lease payments associated with these leases on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
Leases

equipment.

Impact on Financial Statements
1) Impact on transition
On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognised additional right
of use assets and lease liabilities recognising the difference in
retained earnings. This impact on transition is summarised
below.

2) Impacts for the period
As a result of applying IFRS 16, in relation to the leases that
were previously classified as operating leases, the Group
recognised GBP570,000 of right of use assets and GBP640,000 of
lease liabilities as at 30 June 2019 (including new leases taken
out after 1 January 2019). The right of use assets of GBP570,000
have been included in property, plant and equipment on the balance
sheet and the lease liabilities of GBP640,000 have been included
within other payables, accruals and deferred revenue.
Also, in relation to those leases under IFRS 16, the Group has
recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of operating
lease expense. During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group
recognised GBP187,000 of depreciation charges and GBP4,000 of
interest costs from those leases.
