* In the LendInvest consolidated financial statements, the Group has reported a loss of £4.2 million on account of entering into derivative instruments during the period that were used to protect the Group from interest rate risk associated between its fixed rate assets and floating rate liabilities. Market sentiment during the period has resulted in a fall in the underlying forward interest rate curve. As a result, the instruments have moved out of the money and a fair value loss of £6.2m is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period. This loss is driven by the wider economic environment and has a non-cash impact on the Group. Offsetting this loss, however, a gain of £5.3 million on the fair value of the underlying assets has been recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This also has a non-cash impact on the Group. Both movements under IFRS9 do not reflect the underlying activities of the business and are therefore assessed separately by management in its review of group performance. The company intends to implement hedge accounting next year, to minimise the impact of volatile adjustments to the financial statements going forward.

This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, 'forward-looking statements' with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company or of LendInvest Limited (or its group) and certain of the plans and objectives of the Company, LendInvest Limited and its group with respect to these items. Forward-looking statements are sometimes, but not always, identified by their use of a date in the future or such words as 'anticipates', 'aims', 'due', 'could', 'may', 'will', 'would', 'should', 'expects', 'believes', 'intends', 'plans', 'projects', 'potential', 'reasonably possible', 'targets', 'goal', 'estimates' or words with a similar meaning, and, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. Any forward-looking statements in this document are based on the current expectations of the Company, LendInvest Limited and its group (as applicable) and, by their very nature, forward-looking statements are inherently unpredictable, speculative and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and no assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements in this document will be realised. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, LendInvest Limited and its group, that could cause actual results, performance and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the Risk Factors disclosed in the Company's Base Prospectus dated 19 October 2018 (which have not been updated since the date of its publication); changes in the economies and markets in which the group operates; changes in the regulatory and competition frameworks in which the group operates; the impact of legal or other proceedings against or which affect the group; and changes in interest and exchange rates.

All written or verbal forward-looking statements made in this document or made subsequently, which are attributable to the Company, LendInvest Limited or any other member of the group or persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors referred to above. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements in this document will be realised. This document speaks as at the date of publication. Save as required by applicable laws and regulations, none of the Company, LendInvest Limited or any member of its group intends to update any forward-looking statements and does not undertake any obligation to do so. Past performance of securities of the Company cannot be relied upon as a guide to the future performance of securities of the Company. Nothing in this document should be regarded as a profit forecast.
