Rathbone Brothers PLC 01 September 2005 1 September 2005 Rathbone Brothers Plc Interim results for the six months to 30 June 2005 Rathbones announces solid growth in profits and funds under management Rathbone Brothers Plc, a leading provider of discretionary fund management and wealth management services for private clients and trustees, today announces its interim results for the six months to 30 June 2005 prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) regime. Results for comparative periods have been restated for IFRS. Mark Powell, Chairman of Rathbone Brothers Plc, commented: 'Pre-tax profits (before one-off costs of Â£1.4m associated with our approach to Rensburg) increased by 21.1% over the first half of 2005 to Â£16.1m. Total funds under management rose by 9.1% to Â£8.4bn, including funds under management in our unit trust company which are now over Â£1bn.' Highlights â€¢ Operating profit (before one-off costs of Â£1.4m) of Â£16.1m, an increase of 21.1% (30 June 2004: Â£13.3m. Full year 2004: Â£28.5m). â€¢ Operating profit (after one-off costs) of Â£14.7m, an increase of 10.5% (30 June 2004: Â£13.3m. Full year 2004: Â£28.5m). â€¢ Total funds under management increased by 9.1% over the six months to 30 June 2005 to Â£8.4bn compared with an increase in the FTSE 100 Index of 6.2% and an increase in the FTSE APCIMS Balanced Index of 5.1% over the same period. â€¢ Funds managed by Rathbone Unit Trust Management increased by 20.2% over the period to Â£983m as at 30 June 2005 and have now risen to over Â£1bn. â€¢ Operating income increased by 14.0% to Â£53.9m (30 June 2004: Â£47.3m. Full year 2004: Â£95.5m). â€¢ Reported earnings per share have risen by 9.4% to 25.46p (30 June 2004: 23.28p) but excluding the one-off costs have risen by 19.5%. â€¢ Interim dividend is increased by 9.5% to 11.5p per share. 'The increase in funds under management is testimony to our ability to attract and retain client funds. We remain committed to providing a segregated investment management service for clients with sums in excess of Â£100,000. The Rathbone service continues to be provided on a personal basis by a qualified fund manager. Plans are well underway for an increased marketing effort in relation to SIPPs in anticipation of legislative changes next year. 'A particularly pleasing aspect of the first half has been the success of our unit trust company whose funds under management now exceed Â£1bn, compared with Â£818m at 31 December 2004, demonstrating excellent long-term investment performance and strong marketing and client service. 'World stock markets have maintained their comparative strength since 30 June 2005, despite the political and economic uncertainties which exist. Levels of new business enquiries are encouraging and we look forward with confidence.'

Pre-tax profits (before one-off professional advisory costs of Â£1.4m incurred in relation to the approach to Rensburg plc) for the six months to 30 June 2005 were Â£16.1m, compared with Â£13.3m in the first half of 2004 (an increase of 21.1%) and Â£28.5m for the whole of 2004. Reported earnings per share have risen by 9.4% to 25.46p, compared to 23.28p for the same period in 2004 and excluding the Rensburg-related costs, earnings per share have risen by 19.5%. The interim dividend is increased by 9.5% to 11.5p per share payable on 14 October 2005. The figures for the first six months of 2005 have been prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') regime as well as those for the first half of 2004 and the full year 2004. The effects of IFRS on our full year 2004 figures were announced at the beginning of August with the most significant impact resulting from the cessation of goodwill amortisation. Over the six months to 30 June 2005, funds under management rose by 9.1% to Â£8.4bn. During the same period the UK equity market, as measured by the FTSE 100 Index, rose by 6.2% and the FTSE APCIMS Balanced Index by 5.1%. This increase in funds under management is testimony to our ability to attract and retain client funds. We remain committed to providing a segregated investment management service for clients with sums in excess of Â£100,000. The Rathbone service continues to be provided on a personal basis by a qualified fund manager. Plans are well underway for an increased marketing effort in relation to SIPPs in anticipation of legislative changes next year. A particularly pleasing aspect of the first half has been the success of our unit trust company whose funds under management now exceed Â£1bn, compared with Â£818m at 31 December 2004, demonstrating excellent long-term investment performance and strong marketing and client service. The Rathbone range of unit trusts has been especially well suited to client demand during the last 12 months. Our Income Fund has attracted net new funds of Â£115m in the six month period. In our Trust Division, profits for the six months of the year are 25% lower than the first half of last year but some 8% higher than in the second half of 2004. Whilst the majority of the business has performed well, these results reflect some of the costs of the continuing process of refocusing and aligning certain parts of the division's activities with our clients' requirements and our corporate objectives. In the first half of this year (and as referred to above), we incurred costs of Â£1.4m in connection with an approach to Rensburg. This was based upon our strong belief in the compatibility of the two businesses and reflected Rathbones' confidence in the strength of our operating platform and the ability to handle substantially increased volumes of funds under management efficiently and cost-effectively. Our ambition remains that of becoming the leading independent provider of investment management services to private individuals and trustees in the UK. World stock markets have maintained their comparative strength since 30 June 2005, despite the political and economic uncertainties which exist. Levels of new business enquiries are encouraging and we look forward with confidence.

Basis of preparation 2005 interim financial information European Union ('EU') law requires that the next annual consolidated financial statements of the Company, for the year ending 31 December 2005, be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') adopted for use in the EU ('adopted IFRS'). The 2005 interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS that are endorsed by the EU and effective (or available for early adoption) at 31 December 2005. The interim information also reflects standards that are expected to be endorsed and effective (or available for early adoption) at 31 December 2005. Based on these adopted and unadopted IFRS, the Directors have made assumptions about the accounting policies expected to be applied when the first annual IFRS financial statements are prepared for the year ending 31 December 2005. In particular, the Directors have assumed that International Accounting Standard 19 'Employee benefits' issued by the International Accounting Standards Board will be adopted by the EU in sufficient time to be available for use in the annual IFRS financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2005. The accounting policies that the Directors assume will apply to the preparation of the first annual IFRS financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2005 are set out in Appendix 3 of the announcement titled 'Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards' which was released on 4 August 2005. However, the adopted IFRS that will be effective (or available for early adoption) in the annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2005 are still subject to change and to additional interpretations and therefore cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, the accounting policies for that annual period will be determined only when the annual financial statements are prepared for the year ending 31 December 2005. 2004 comparative financial information The 2004 comparative financial information included in these interim accounts is prepared under the reporting basis for statutory comparatives under IFRS for the 2004 financial year. In preparing the 2004 comparative information, the Group has adjusted amounts previously reported in financial statements under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('GAAP'). The impact of the transition from UK GAAP at 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2004 is set out and explained in the announcement titled 'Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards' which was released on 4 August 2005 and is available on the Group's website www.rathbones.com. The impact of the transition from UK GAAP to IFRS at 30 June 2004 is shown in Note 9 of these interim accounts. 2. Section 240 statement The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2004 do not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year within the meaning of section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. Those accounts, which were prepared under UK GAAP, have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. 3. Segmental information (a) Business segments For management purposes, the Group is currently organised into three operating divisions: Investment Management and Banking, Unit Trusts and Trust Services. These divisions are the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information.

Aborted acquisition costs On 14 January 2005, the Company announced a pre-conditional offer for Rensburg plc ('Rensburg'). There were subsequently substantive discussions and exchanges of information with Rensburg, which led to a revised pre-conditional offer proposal being made on 23 February 2005 which was subsequently rejected by the board of Rensburg. On 7 April 2005, the Company announced its decision not to proceed with making an offer. As reported in the 2004 financial statements, the Company incurred professional advisory costs in 2005 in relation to the above process and, as no offer was made, those costs amounting to Â£1,375,000 have been charged to the profit and loss account in the first six months of 2005. 5. Earnings per share The calculation of basic earnings per share ('EPS') is based on profit after taxation before dividends for each period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted earnings per share is the basic earnings per share, adjusted for the effect of contingently issuable shares under the Long Term Incentive Plan, employee share options remaining capable of exercise and any dilutive shares to be issued under the Share Incentive Plan, weighted for the relevant period (see table below).

Explanation of IFRS (continued) (c) Effect of IFRS on the cash flow statement for the six months ended 30 June 2004 The Group has prepared its cash flow statement in accordance with IAS 7. Under IAS 7, the cash flow statement shows the movement in cash and cash equivalents, being defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Under UK GAAP, the Group's cash flow statement showed the movement in cash repayable on demand only and in particular, excluded short term highly liquid investments. This change in definition from cash to cash and cash equivalents results in a decrease of cash under UK GAAP of Â£10.7 million changing to an increase of in cash and cash equivalents of Â£23.8 million under IFRS, although it should be noted that for regulatory solvency purposes, the marketability of the whole portfolio of certificates of deposit is taken into account. All other adjustments made to the cash flow statement for IFRS represent reclassifications between line items and have not impacted actual cash flows. 10. Forward looking statements This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements and forecasts with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Rathbone Brothers Plc and its subsidiaries. These statements and forecasts involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements and forecasts. Nothing in this announcement should be construed as a profit forecast. 11. Interim report The interim report will be sent to registered shareholders. Further copies will be available to the public from the Company's registered office at 159 New Bond Street, London W1S 2UD. INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO RATHBONE BROTHERS PLC Introduction We have been engaged by the Company to review the financial information which comprises the consolidated income statement, consolidated balance sheet, consolidated cash flow statement, consolidated statement of recognised income and expense and notes 1 to 11 and we have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information. This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached. Directors' responsibilities The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is the responsibility of and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing Rules which require that the accounting policies and presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those applied in preparing the preceding annual financial statements except where any changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed. As disclosed in note 1 to the financial information, the next annual financial statements of the Company will be prepared in accordance with IFRSs adopted for use in the European Union. The accounting policies that have been adopted in preparing the financial information are consistent with those that the directors currently intend to use in the next annual financial statements. There is, however, a possibility that the directors may determine that some changes to these policies are necessary when preparing the full annual financial statements for the first time in accordance with those IFRSs adopted for use by the European Union. This is because, as disclosed in note 1, the directors have anticipated that certain standards, which have yet to be formally adopted for use in the EU, will be so adopted in time to be applicable to the next annual financial statements. Review work performed We conducted our review in accordance with guidance contained in Bulletin 1999/4 Review of interim financial information issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of making enquiries of company management and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information. Review conclusion On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months ended 30 June 2005.
