Miton Group plc ('Miton' or 'the Group'; ticker: MGR), the AIM
quoted fund management group, today announces its half year results
for the six months ended 30 June 2015.
Financial Highlights
-- Renewed momentum with net inflows in Q2 following outflows in
Q1. Over six months to 30 June, AUM increased from GBP2,050m to
GBP2,225m.
-- Average AUM over the six month period was GBP2,140m (H1 2014
- GBP2,953m(1) ). This reduction included the impact of the
disposal of the Liverpool business.
-- Net revenue margin increased to 66.6bp (H1 2014 - 65.0bp).
-- H1 costs maintained at GBP5.7m(2) (H1 2014 - GBP5.8m).
-- Adjusted Profit before Tax reduced to GBP0.8m (H1 2014 GBP3.4m).
-- Total cash balances as at 30 June 2015 were GBP13.6m (31
December 2014: GBP15.2m) after payment of year-end bonuses and the
dividend.
Good progress since the half year end
-- Trading is currently in line with the Board's expectations for the year as a whole.
-- The positive net flows experienced in Q2 have continued. AUM
rose to GBP2,364m as at 31 August 2015.
-- CF Miton UK Value Opportunities fund(3) increased AUM to
GBP498m as at 31 August 2015 (30 June 2015: GBP378m; 30 June 2014:
GBP86m).
-- Funds rebranded:
o Miton's Cautious and Defensive multi asset funds(4) were
repositioned in Q1 and moved to more appropriate sector groupings.
They have generated first quartile performance since the change of
manager in June 2014.
o Proposed change of the PFS Darwin Multi Asset fund to an
income mandate. It will be renamed the PFS Miton Cautious Monthly
Income Fund in October.(5)
-- Miton UK MicroCap Trust plc was launched in April raising
GBP50m. Since launch a further GBP5m has been raised.
-- Following appointment of Carlos Moreno in August, we intend
to launch a new European equities fund in Q4.
Notes
(1) GBP2,953m includes GBP438m of AUM relating to the Liverpool
business which was sold on 31 March 2014.
(2) After adjusting for the write-back of a VAT provision of
GBP185,000.
(3) CF Miton UK Value Opportunities fund AUM includes FP Miton
Undervalued Assets fund AUM. It is intended to merge the two funds
in
Q1 2016.
(4) CF Miton Cautious Multi Asset fund and CF Miton Defensive
Multi Asset fund.
(5) Subject to unitholder vote on 30 September 2015.
Ian Dighé, Executive Chairman of Miton Group, commented:
"The fall in Miton Group's half year profits reflected the
operational gearing of the business following the reduction in
funds under management compared to last year. Despite this, the
Group remained profitable and ended the period with renewed
momentum in terms of inflows into our funds.
"The second half of the year has got off to a strong start, with
continuing momentum in net inflows into our funds. As a result, AUM
rose to GBP2,364m as at 31 August, in spite of unsettled markets.
As AUM rises we anticipate benefiting from the operational gearing
of the business."

Note to Editors:
Miton Group plc is a multi-asset and equity fund management
specialist based in London. The Group manages GBP2.4 billion of
assets including nine OEICs, four unit trusts and four investment
trusts under the Miton brand. Members of the fund management team
invest in their own funds and are significant shareholders in the
Company.
Chairman's Statement
The first six months of this year were challenging. In spite of
the unsettled markets many of the Miton funds continued to generate
decent absolute gains for clients. Encouragingly, fund flows in Q2
were positive and redemptions in multi assets tapered
significantly.
The fall in Miton's half year profits reflects the operational
gearing in the business following the reduction in funds under
management compared to last year. We continue to focus on growing
AUM and the positive net flows we are experiencing give us cause
for optimism. The continuing performance of the majority of Miton's
funds and their distinctive market position allows the sales team
to market a truly differentiated product.
The greatest inflows during the first half were into the UK
Value Opportunities fund (AUM of GBP378m as at 30 June 2015), the
UK Multi Cap Income fund (AUM of GBP440m as at 30 June 2015) and
via the flotation of Miton UK MicroCap Trust plc which raised
GBP50m in April.
Our multi asset investment team who joined in June 2014 have
continued to deliver first quartile returns, which has helped stem
the outflows seen at the start of the year. The two Miton multi
asset funds have been renamed CF Miton Cautious Multi Asset fund
and CF Miton Defensive Multi Asset fund, which reflects their new
fund peer group.
We continue to focus on growing AUM:
-- Carlos Moreno joined Miton in August to manage a new European
equities fund which we plan to launch later this year. To
capitalise on this particular opportunity our plans were brought
forward from 2016. There will therefore be up to GBP400,000 of
additional costs in 2015.
-- Miton UK MicroCap Trust plc has already grown with an additional GBP5m raised since launch.
-- The strong performance of the Miton multi asset funds means
we can develop our offering. Therefore the PFS Darwin Multi Asset
fund will, subject to unitholder approval, be renamed as PFS Miton
Cautious Monthly Income fund with a mandate to provide investors
with an income-oriented multi asset investment opportunity from
October.
Comprehensive compliance and an appreciation of the sources of
risk are naturally a high priority in our business. Nevertheless we
are continuing to focus on cost control through increasingly
automated fund management operations. Overall costs have been
contained at a slightly lower level than the same period last year.
We are continuing to drive efficiencies further by working closely
with our fund administration partners.
Board changes following the half year end
On 11 September 2015, we announced that Ian Chimes and Piers
Harrison were joining the Board with immediate effect as Sales
& Marketing Director and Chief Operating Officer,
respectively.
Ian Chimes joined Miton as Head of Sales and Marketing in July
2013. Piers Harrison joined Miton in July 2013 as Director of
Operations and Risk Management.
At the same time we announced that Robert Clarke will be
resigning from the Board with effect from 28 September. Bart Edgar
will become Director of Finance, reporting to Piers Harrison,
following Robert's departure. The Board thanks Robert for his
diligence and hard work.
Outlook
The second half of the year has started strongly with the
momentum of positive net flows in Q2 continuing into Q3. As at 31
August 2015 assets under management were GBP2,364m in spite of
unsettled markets. As AUM rises we anticipate benefiting from the
operational gearing of the business.

Financial Review
Assets under Management
On 30 June 2015 Assets under Management (AUM) were GBP2,225m (30
June 2014: GBP2,643m; 31 December 2014: GBP2,050m). During the
first half of 2015 fund performance and market movements accounted
for the increase in value. Net outflows in the first three months
of GBP54m were transformed into net inflows of GBP64m in the second
quarter. This trend has continued since 30 June with net inflows of
GBP134m in July and August.
Average AUM over the first half was GBP2,140m down from
GBP2,953m in the corresponding period last year which included
GBP438m of AUM relating to the Liverpool business which was sold on
31 March 2014.The following summary shows the movements during the
six months ended 30 June 2015:

Revenue and Margins
With the 28% reduction in average AUM referred to above, net
revenue reduced to GBP7.1m from GBP9.6m in H1 2014. The average net
revenue margin for the first half was 66.6bp compared with 65.0bp
in 2014 due to the loss of some lower margin funds and maintained
margins elsewhere.

H1 administrative expenses of GBP5.7m (after adjusting for a VAT
provision write-back) were reduced marginally from the GBP5.8m in
H1 2014.
Adjusted Profit before Tax
Adjusted Profit before Tax of GBP0.8m for the period reduced
significantly compared to H1 2014 as a result of the operational
gearing in the business acting on the reduced revenue base. This
sensitivity emphasises the opportunity for increased future
profitability as a result of increasing AUM.

The dilution of 14% arises largely as a result of the estimate
of the Miton Group plc ordinary shares which would be issued if all
the Growth Share Plan shares with an accrued value at 30 June 2015
had vested and had been exchanged for Miton Group plc ordinary
shares at that date.
Cash
At 30 June 2015 cash balances amounted to GBP13.6m compared with
GBP15.2m at the start of the year. After making deductions for
regulatory capital requirements, the creditors reserve and other
provisions, the Group's free cash as at 30 June 2015 was GBP4.7m.
The creditors reserve of GBP2.9m arose from the capital reduction
in 2013 and will no longer need to be held on the balance sheet
after 2015.
Growth Share Plan
As at 30 June 2015 the total accrued value of the growth shares
in issue estimated according to the Plan rules was GBP6.6m
(31.12.14: GBP2.7m). This equates to 14.6% (8.2%) of Miton Group
plc ordinary shares in issue at the date of approval of the Plan in
2013. This disclosure is required in accordance with accounting
standards. The actual dilution experienced in future will depend on
a number of factors including:
-- the value of assets under management (AUM) within each Fund
Management Unit (FMU) and within the Group
as a whole at the end of the reporting period
-- average AUM over a reporting period
-- the profitability of specific FMUs and of the Miton Group
-- the share price of Miton Group plc
-- the proportion of an FMU's value in relation to that of the Group
-- the timing and extent of the exchange of growth shares into
Miton shares by participants: growth shares
currently in issue are due to vest proportionately over the period 2016 to 2018.
The Company will consider when appropriate the use of Group cash
balances to finance the buying back of Miton Group plc ordinary
shares.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended 30 June 2015
1. Basis of accounting
These interim condensed and consolidated financial statements do
not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 435
of the Companies Act 2006. They have been prepared on the basis of
the accounting policies as set out in the Group's Annual Report for
the year ended 31 December 2014.
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Listing Rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority.
The accounting policies applied in these interim financial
statements are consistent with those applied in the Group's
most recent annual financial statements.
The Group has sufficient financial resources and contracts with
a number of customers and suppliers such that the directors believe
that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks
successfully despite the continued uncertain economic outlook.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim
report.
The Group's 2014 Annual Report is prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union, and is available on the Miton Group plc website
(www.mitongroup.com).
These unaudited financial statements were approved and
authorised for issue by a duly appointed and authorised committee
of the Board of Directors on 25 September 2015.
The full year accounts to 31 December 2014 were approved by the
Board of Directors on 27 March 2015 and have been 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. The figures for the six months ended 30
June 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2014 have not been
audited.
2. Segmental information
The Group operates as one business segment, Fund Management,
which offers a number of fund management products through a variety
of distribution channels, and therefore does not provide
information on different segments.
3. Dividend
The dividend for the year ended 31 December 2014 was paid on 7
May 2015, being 0.60p per share. The trustees of the Employee
Benefit Trust waived their rights to part of this dividend, leading
to a total distribution of GBP910,000, which is reflected in the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.

profit/(loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the period.
In calculating diluted earnings per share, IAS 33 Earnings Per
Share requires that the profit/(loss) be divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period
plus the weighted average number of any potential dilutive ordinary
shares that would be issued on their conversion to ordinary shares
during the period.
(a) Reported earnings per share
Reported basic profit/(loss) per share has been calculated as
follows:

6. (b) Adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS")
Adjusted EPS is based on Adjusted Profit after tax, where
Adjusted Profit is stated after charging interest and share-based
payments but before amortisation and exceptional items.

The above dilution arises largely as a result of the requirement
to include an estimate of the Miton Group plc shares which would be
issued if all the Growth Share Plan shares with an accrued value at
30 June 2015, which will not fully vest until 2018, had vested and
had been exchanged into Miton Group plc ordinary shares at that
date.
