Section B – Issuer:
B.1 Legal and
commercial
name:
The Issuer's legal and commercial name is International Personal
Finance plc.
B.2 Domicile, Legal
Form, Country
of Incorporation
and Legislation
under which
the Issuer
Operates:
The Issuer is a public limited company incorporated and registered in
England and Wales on 5 December 2006 under the Companies Act
1985 as a company
limited
by shares
with
registered number
6018973.
B.4b Known Trends
Affecting the
Issuer and its
Industry:
The first nine months of 2012 has seen a backdrop of low but
relatively stable consumer confidence and modest economic growth in
the Group's European markets, against which backdrop the Group has
performed well. For the first nine months of 2012 the Group reported
growth in customer numbers of 6 per cent. and credit issued of 13 per
cent. alongside stable credit quality. This has resulted in underlying profit
growth of £14.3M before the twin impact of weaker FX rates and higher
early settlement rebates ("ESRs") (arising from the implementation of the
Consumer Credit Directive). Taking these two factors into account, profit
fell by £4.1M to £58.6M. The provision of credit to consumers in
Europe, including consumer loans, is at present governed by national
the new
legislative
provisions
which
implement
consumer credit
directive (Directive 200848//EC (the "CCD")). The CCD was adopted by
the European
Council in May 2008 and has subsequently
been
implemented in each of the Group's European markets. Poland was the
last country to do so, in December 2011. The primary impact of the
legislation on the Group's business has been to require the granting of
higher ESRs to customers who choose to settle their loans before the
end of the contractual term. Revenue increased at the slower rate of 9
per cent. during the first nine months of 2012, largely due to the expected
impact of higher ESRs in the Czech Republic/Slovakia and Poland,
which are charged against revenue. The impact of higher ESR costs
was broadly in line with the Group's expectations for the first half of
2012. The Group's collections performance remained robust during the
first nine months of 2012 and annualised impairment as a percentage of
revenue remains at the lower end of the Group's 25 per cent. to 30
per cent. target range (September
2012: 26.5 per cent., June 2012: 26.2 per cent.; December 2011: 25.8
per cent.; June 2011: 26.8 per cent.).
In the face of the recent global economic downturn of 2008-2009, the
Group's business model has proven to be robust. The Group adopted
macro
strategies
to manage the business during the 2008-2009
economic downturn, namely; credit control tightening, enhanced credit
control systems,
changes
to incentive
structure
and cost base
reduction. The financial performance of the Group improved as 2009
progressed, including a return to normal levels of impairment by the
second quarter of 2009, Impairment levels have continued to remain
stable since 2009. Despite the challenging economic conditions, the
business has continued to generate good margins and returns. In
2011, the Group generated a profit margin of 15.5 per cent., a return
on capital employed of 22.7 per cent. and profits of £100.5M.
B.5 Group Position: The Issuer is the ultimate parent in its corporate group, which is
composed of wholly owned subsidiaries of the Issuer. The Issuer's
group operates six principal overseas
subsidiaries
in central and
eastern Europe and Mexico and has certain UK subsidiaries which
provide business services, financial support or debt option facilities to
fellow subsidiary undertakings.

Activities:

the customer's home weekly by the group's agents. Loans are short-term
and generally range from six months to two years, with the average loan
term during 2011 being 49 weeks.
For the majority of home collected loans, the total amount repayable on the
loan is fixed at the outset and no additional penalty charges or interest as a
result of missed payments are subsequently added. This applies regardless
of the number of missed payments or changes in interest rates.
B.16 Control of

Section D – Risks:
D.2 Key
Information on
the Key Risks
Specific to the
Issuer:
The Group is at risk from changes in political, economic, and financial

market conditions, such as a global or local recession, inflation and
fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates. This is a
particular risk for the Group as the countries in which the Group
currently operates are emerging economies and so are likely to be
subject to greater volatility. Change to the political landscape in one
of the Group's geographic markets could undermine general demand
for loans, lead to labour unrest, or, if capital controls are imposed,
restrict the ability of a Group subsidiary to remit funds to the UK
holding company. Recession could reduce demand for the Group's
products and services. Rising inflation could erode Group profitability,
as the rate of interest on loans made by the Group is generally fixed
at the outset, whilst the Group's costs rise in line with inflation. Rising
interest rates can lead to higher costs of Group borrowing, reducing
profitability. The Group reports results in Sterling, but the majority of
its assets are denominated in foreign currencies, so exchange rate
fluctuations may adversely affect the Group's income statement
account, its reserves or future cash flows.

The Group is at risk from regulation and litigation (including the
effects of changes in law or interpretation of the law in the Group's
operating markets) associated with the fact that the Group operates
in a highly regulated industry. This is a particular concern for the
Group as total charges for the Group's loans are higher than for
by mainstream banks, which can bring calls for
loans provided
statutory caps. Any such change could affect the Group's profitability,
solvency and capital requirements and may give rise to increased
costs of compliance. Litigation on the basis that the Group's charges
are unfair or usurious could, if any such actions are upheld by the
relevant courts, compel a change in the Group's business model.
An increase in competition in any of the Group's markets could lead

to a reduction in market share or an increase in the cost of customer
acquisition and retention.
The Group is at risk of losses or liabilities incurred as a result of the

business failure of a counterparty (for example, major IT suppliers,
funding banks and retail banking facilities). This is a particular risk
for the Group as the business model is dependent upon these
operational counterparties.

Failure of an IT services outsourcer could significantly disrupt the
business operation, and failure of a bank with which the Group has a
cash balance on account could lead to loss of the deposit or lack of
sufficient cash to fund short-term business operations in the market
where such bank is based.
There could be challenges to the tax treatment of arrangements
amongst the companies in the Group. Although the Group is headed
by a UK holding company, the Group does not have substantial
to the UK's
operations
in the UK. This exposes
the Group
international tax regime. The treatment of such international groups
under UK tax law is subject to significant change. Changes in
accounting rules could also significantly impact the Group's tax
liabilities. Changes in tax or accounting rules could damage the
Group's financial position.
Risks arise from the implementation of the business strategy of the
Group, both in respect of existing markets and new markets. In
particular, the Group's focus on a single product (the provision of
home credit) increases the Group's exposure to competitive and
regulatory threats. The Group may misjudge its entry into a new
geographic market, potentially leading to a loss on withdrawal from
the market.

Loss may arise from the failure to ensure employee and agent safety,
which could lead to agents or managers being harder to retain or
being unwilling to make home visits, as well as personal injury claims
and reputational damage, and the loss of key people, which could
disrupt the Group's business.
There is a risk of damage to the Group's brands or reputation or a
decline in customer confidence in the Group or its products. This is
a particular risk for the Group as the success of the Group's business
is dependent on the Group's brands and reputation. Adverse publicity
could affect customer willingness to take Group products or make
or make it more difficult for the Group to recruit.
repayments,
Unfavourable publicity could in turn lead to increased pressure for
changes to regulation of the consumer credit industry in the relevant
market.
D.3 Key
Information on
the Key Risks
which are
specific to the
Securities:



Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and one
may never develop, or may develop and be illiquid. Investors may
not be able to sell their Notes easily or at prices that will provide them
with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed
secondary market.
Notes subject to optional redemption by the Issuer:
an optional redemption feature is likely to limit the market value of
Notes. During any period when the Issuer may elect to redeem Notes,
the market value of those Notes generally will not rise substantially
above the price at which they can be redeemed. This also may be
true prior to any redemption period.
the Issuer may be expected to redeem Notes when its cost of borrowing
is lower than the interest rate on the Notes. At those times, an investor
generally would not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds at an
interest rate as high as that on the Notes being redeemed and may
only be able to do so at a significantly lower rate.
Notes issued at a substantial discount or premium:
the market values of securities issued at a substantial discount or
premium to their nominal amount tend to fluctuate more in relation
to general changes in interest rates than do prices for conventional
interest-bearing securities. Generally, the longer the remaining term
of the securities, the greater the price volatility as compared to
conventional interest-bearing securities with comparable maturities.
Investors who hold through CREST through the issuance of CDIs ("CDI
Holders") hold or have an interest in a separate legal instrument
and will have only indirect interests in the underlying Notes. This
could potentially lead to the CDI Holders having different rights and
in respect
returns
of such
underlying Notes
as against
those
investors who have a direct interest in their Notes.
