Daniel Stewart Securities Plc
Trading and Business Update

The Board of Daniel Stewart Securities Plc (AIM: DAN), the investment bank providing corporate advisory, institutional stockbroking and wealth management services, announces a trading and business update ahead of its full year results for the year ended 31 March 2015.

The Board is pleased to announce that since 30 September 2014, the Company has addressed its regulatory capital requirements; strengthened its balance sheet; and restructured the operational focus of the Company, reducing costs in the process. The Company also took the strategic decision to relinquish its status as an AIM Nominated Adviser ("NOMAD") as the Board believes that the associated costs and additional regulatory burden associated with maintaining NOMAD status do not best serve the interests of our shareholders in today's market environment.

During the period, the Company's shares were suspended from trading between 30 September 2014 and 5 March 2015. The suspension created exceptional circumstances that affected trading in the second half of the reported year. Whilst resolving the capital adequacy issues which led to suspension, the Company also incurred certain non-recurring legal, accountancy and other costs associated with the restructuring. Some clients also delayed their decision to appoint us to new mandates.

As a result of this, the Board anticipates that for the year ended 31 March 2015, the Company will report a reduced pre-tax and amortisation loss of approximately £850,000 (2014: £1.46m loss), of which around £150,000 relates to costs incurred in resolving the regulatory capital issues. Revenue is expected to be around £3.9m (2014: £4.2m).

Peter Shea, Chairman commented: "Although it is always disappointing to report a loss, albeit an improved position from the previous year, we now have our regulatory capital issues firmly behind us and a more focused overhead resulting in a business which is better structured to deliver meaningful capital market solutions to our clients.

"Whilst general market trading conditions remain difficult, we have in the last seven weeks been appointed by six new clients and in the immediate months ahead, we are engaged on a number of fundraisings, including two initial public offerings. Additionally, our wealth management division has continued to grow.

"The Board is optimistic about the future prospects for the Company and I would like to thank the staff, our clients, investors, advisers, and Winterflood Securities, all of whom remained supportive throughout."

Quindell founder: Share-dealing allegations a 'heap of rubbish'

Rob Terry says he has amassed £50m in funding for new ventures and is confident of FCA approval

The founder of Quindell has claimed he will not face sanctions from regulators over his share-dealings at the firm and called accusations of insider dealing “a heap of rubbish”.

The revelations from Rob Terry, the controversial former chairman at the insurance outsourcer, are likely to spark anger among shareholders who lost money by investing in the company he once led.
Mr Terry, in his first public comments since he left Quindell, told The Telegraph that he had amassed about £50m of funding for new ventures, some of which he has provided himself.

He also said he was confident that he would receive approval from the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, for his planned stake-building in stockbroker Daniel Stewart, despite the storm that led to his departure from Quindell last November.

Mr Terry, along with two other directors, were the focus of investor anger when it emerged that they had reduced their shareholdings in Quindell in stock market dealings that were initially portrayed by the company as share purchases.

He was eventually ousted from the board when Quindell revealed that the trio had carried out the dealings after one of the company’s house brokers had resigned. The wider stock market was only informed of the resignation after the directors had reduced their stakes, prompting heavy falls in Quindell’s share price.

“The transactions that were done at the time were looked at, there was never any question of insider dealing, so it’s just a heap of rubbish,” Mr Terry said on Friday.
He said that there was “no issue” with the Aim team at the London Stock Exchange, which examined the controversial share dealings, and that it was “closed out long long ago, all in a positive manner.”
He added: “There’s never been an issue with the FCA.”

In a move that has raised eyebrows across the City, it emerged on Thursday that Mr Terry was seeking to increase his recently acquired stake in Daniel Stewart to above 10pc, which will require FCA clearance.

“I’m absolutely positive that FCA approval will come through in the normal timescales,” he said.
Daniel Stewart was left with an uncertain future on Friday after it revealed that its nominated adviser, Westhouse Securities, had resigned. If it does not find a replacement by the start of May, its shares will be suspended.
Mr Terry has already amassed a 9.994pc stake in the broker through investment vehicle Quob Park Estate.

The controversial figure said he thought that Daniel Stewart was “undervalued”, adding “there’s also some things I’d like to do in partnership with them to do with the other things I’m doing with Quob Park.
“Ultimately I will be interested in holding anything up to 29pc of [Daniel Stewart]. I won’t make a bid for it, that’s not my intent, but I could see myself building a holding of that type of size.

“We will open up [Quob Park] to retail investors to invest alongside us and for that we will need to work with an FCA regulated firm, and I hope that that firm will be Daniel Stewart.”

He claimed that Quob Park had as much as £50m in firepower behind it.
“Quob is re-name of a company that I’ve had for a whole number of years but it’s been restructured, new investment’s come in, myself and a number of other individuals have put in over five million and we’ve already raised money with a valuation of twenty-five million.

“It in itself is a fund of a value of about twenty-five million, and then it’s sitting alongside about another twenty-five million of investment capital from me. So it has available to it about fifty million of funding.”

On Friday, Quindell shareholders approved the £637m sale of the company’s legal business in a deal that will see £500m returned to investors. Mr Terry said that he and Quob held small stakes in Quindell.

After earlier mark down is now well up and some large trades appearing as buys volume of over 7m on 2 hours of trading, was slow at the start.

Will Quindell PLC Shareholders Benefit From Founder Rob Terry’s New Venture In Daniel Stewart Securities PLC? --- By G A Chester - Tuesday, 5 May, 2015

Quindell (LSE: QPP) founder Rob Terry, who quit the company last November, has recently come back on to the radar of the investing community. And it could be good news or bad news for Quindell shareholders.

You may recall that Terry’s departure followed a precipitous fall in Quindell’s share price, amidst claims that his empire of “disruptive technology” was built on over-priced acquisitions and dirty accounting. There were also claims of insider dealing: Terry had been a seller of Quindell shares at a time when the company’s joint broker had resigned but the market had not been informed. Subsequently, Terry further sold down his shareholding, with many assuming he ultimately sold completely.

However, he’s back with an investment vehicle called Quob Park Estate, which describes itself as a “core shareholder” of Quindell. Quob Park Estate has also built a 9% stake in AIM microcap Daniel Stewart, the original advisor and broker to Quindell when Terry floated it on the stock market.

Quob Park Estate says it is “working with and investing in companies that are focused on the benefits of Digital Disruption”, and that “whilst remaining private equity focused, in the future we will open our doors to retail investors”. Terry recently told the Telegraph: “for that we will need to work with an FCA [Financial Conduct Authority] regulated firm, and I hope that that firm will be Daniel Stewart.”

It has also been announced that Terry intends to seek FCA approval to increase his interest in Daniel Stewart to above 10%. In the interview with the Telegraph, he said: “I’m absolutely positive that FCA approval will come through in the normal timescales”. If it does, Terry will, effectively, be cleared of the allegations of serious wrongdoing at Quindell (beyond the aggressive accounting the company has already held its hands up to) and the shares could rise. Conversely, a rejection by the FCA could hit the shares, as it might — unless explicitly stated that the rejection was solely on the grounds of insider dealing — imply a possible further can of worms at Quindell.

Quindell is set to complete the £637m sale of its large Professional Services Division to Australian firm Slater & Gordon, and anticipates returning up to £500m to shareholders. The sale will leave Quindell with a core of telematics-related businesses and a small ragbag of other businesses... more

Appointment of Nominated Adviser and Resumption of Trading on AIM

Daniel Stewart Securities plc (AIM: DAN), the investment bank providing corporate advisory, institutional stockbroking and wealth management services, is pleased to announce that Beaumont Cornish Limited ("BCL") has been appointed as the Company's Nominated Adviser with immediate effect. Accordingly, trading in the Company's Ordinary Shares on AIM is expected to recommence with effect from 7.30 a.m. on 11 May 2015.

Under the terms of BCL's appointment, the Company and BCL have agreed that BCL shall be entitled to resign as the Company's Nominated Adviser, at any time, should any party become a 10 per cent. Shareholder (or more) whether or not approved as a "Controller" by the FCA, without Beaumont's prior approval (to be given in Beaumont's absolute discretion).

As previously reported on 15 April 2015, trading conditions remain challenging and so the Company also announces that it feels it would be prudent to strengthen further its balance sheet and put in place additional funding either from existing or new investors or a combination of both in order to provide more certainty in what still remains an overall fragile capital market.

To this end the Company is therefore seeking to raise up to GBP1million and is in advanced discussions with its largest shareholder, Epsilon Investments PTE Limited, to lead the funding and expects to announce its conclusion shortly.

The Board continues to be encouraged by the level of new and existing businessopportunities; and new business wins have been sufficient to give the Company the confidence to add to the team with the appointment of three new members of the corporate broking team.

Finally, the Board is pleased to announce that it is in discussions with a number of proposed new non-executive directors with a view to strengthening the overall composition of the Board and expects to announce at least one additional appointment shortly.
