Enterprise Holdings Limited: Semi-annual report shows strong growth in
premiums and profit - Current fiscal year ending 31 March 2014
probably becomes best year in history

02.01.2014 / 08:15

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Strong growth in gross written premiums (GWP)
The non-audited interim figures for the 6 months period from 1 April until
30 September 2013 show 74.3m GBP in gross written premium (GWP) compared to
56.7m GBP for the 6 months period that ended 30 September 2012.

Very positive profit figures
On an operational basis the Group achieved a positive technical result of
11.1m GBP (previous year: 3.3m GBP) which resulted in an earnings before
interest, tax  and amortization (EBITDA) figure of 6.9m GBP (p/y: loss 2.7m
GBP).

Outlook:
Further growth in GWP and profit in second half of current fiscal year
expected
Andrew Flowers, CEO of Enterprise Holdings Ltd: 'We continue to expect a
very strong organic growth in the existing insurance schemes and therefore
for the current fiscal year we forecast an increase in gross written
premium to the range of 175m to 200m GBP. In the previous fiscal year
2012/13 that ended 31 March 2013 we achieved 134.8m GBP.
Last year we also increased the technical reserves for claims provisions in
the UK motor market and set them on the basis of a 'worst case scenario'.
The first results from our internal reserves review, which we currently
perform, allowed us to release a smaller part of the existing reserves as
of 30.09.2013, which has direct impact on our semi-annual financial result.
Beside positive contribution from the operational business we expect that
we can release an additional substantial amount of the existing reserves by
end of the current fiscal year. With the combination of these two effects
we are optimistic that 2013/14 will become the most profitable year in the
company's history.'

Update on Special Account

an amount equal to 50% of the issuer's estimated monthly net distributable

Based on the estimated November results in December the company transferred
another 400,000 euro to the special account. As of today the total amount
