We are pleased to report Nationwide's maiden interim results following the
Group's successful admission to AiM in July this year. Results for the six
months to 30 June 2006 demonstrate that Nationwide continues to make encouraging
progress.

We remain quietly confident that, subject to normal trading conditions, our full
year results will be in line with expectations and we remain on course to
recommend our first final dividend to shareholders, which would become payable
in May 2007.

We believe that the Group's national coverage, economies of scale and customer
service give us a competitive advantage when competing for business. We continue
to pursue our twin track approach of improving our existing businesses whilst
carefully exploring additional opportunities for growth through acquisition."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Introduction

We are pleased to report Nationwide's maiden interim results following the
Group's successful admission to AiM in July this year. Results for the six
months to 30 June 2006 demonstrate that Nationwide continues to make encouraging
progress and we look forward to a satisfactory outcome for the year.

Financial Overview

Sales for the six month period increased by 18% to #78.7m against #66.6m last
year and operating profit before non-recurring items rose by 18% to #3.6m from
#3.1m. Operating profit after non-recurring costs relating to our flotation and
the payment of certain contractual bonuses, was #0.1m (2005: #7.8m): profit
before tax was #0.1m (2005: #7.6m) and earnings per share was 0.2p (2005:
15.9p).

The Company adopts IAS 19, the "corridor approach", for its pension obligations.
However in order to provide shareholders with financial results which are
comparable with other companies, results under FRS 17 are also shown. Under FRS
17, operating profit before non-recurring items rose by 11% to #4.1m from #3.7m.
Underlying profit before tax improved by 23% to #4.2m from #3.4m last year and
underlying earnings per share rose by 11% to 6.9p (2005: 6.2p).

The Group's cash position remains strong, with net cash at 30 June 2006 of
#8.5m.

These encouraging results reflect both the benefit of our acquisition of Gemini
Accident Repair Centres in July 2005 and our ability to maintain margins. Gemini
generated sales of #8.6m and operating profit of #0.4m in the first half.
Excluding the effect of acquisitions and closures, sales increased by 8%. Gross
margins were maintained at 47% despite inflationary pressures. The Group's
defined benefit scheme was closed for future accruals on 31 July 2006 with
active members transferred to a new defined contribution section of the scheme.

Dividend

As set out in the AiM Admission document, the Directors intend to pursue a
progressive dividend policy which broadly reflects the growth in underlying
earnings over time and Group prospects, based on a dividend cover of 2.5 to 3
times. It is anticipated that a final dividend in respect of the current year
will be recommended to shareholders, for payment in May 2007. Ordinarily, over
the course of a financial year, final dividends are expected to represent
two-thirds of the total annual dividend.

Trading

Our crash repair centres primarily service major UK insurance companies and it
is our intention to position the Group as the accident repair services supplier
of choice for the UK insurance industry with scope to grow the business both
organically and by acquisition. The potential for growth by acquisition is good
since the crash repair market is highly fragmented, with nearly half the total
number of bodyshops owned by small businesses, and the market is gradually
consolidating as smaller operators come increasingly under pressure.

In the second half of last year, we purchased Gemini Accident Repair Centres.
This added another 11 repair centres, primarily in the West Midlands, After
closing one loss-making Gemini site, this increased the total number of our
bodyshops to 69. The acquisition was the largest we have completed to date and
the sites have now been successfully integrated into the Nationwide network. As
part of the integration process, we put in place the Nationwide operating model.
Crucially, this includes our bespoke software systems, which help to ensure that
the Group's best practice procedures are consistently applied across all sites.
It is pleasing to see the improving contribution from these sites since their
integration.

We continue to improve the measurement of the operational performance of each of
our sites through the development of our centralised IT systems. This assists us
both from a financial perspective, in helping us to improve operational and
administrative efficiency, and from a customer perspective, since achieving high
customer satisfaction levels helps to drive the continued success and growth of
the business. Notably, these systems enable us to supply our key customers with
management information, thus deepening our business relationships. The software
also enables us to monitor customer satisfaction levels and to reward success
accordingly.

We remain active in cultivating our relationships with motor insurers both at a
local and national level and we are particularly encouraged by substantial
increases in sales with both Zurich and R&SA as we develop new operating models
with both of these customers. The strengthening of these important relationships
has enabled us to reduce our exposure to lower margin business elsewhere. Eight
of our sites are dedicated to carrying out repairs on an exclusive basis for R&
SA, with the motor insurer providing, in turn, a minimum monthly level of
business to these eight sites.

In line with our culture of staff development, we are pleased to note that this
year our Nationwide apprentice programme has attracted over 50 new young people
to join our Group with a view to developing their careers with us.

Prospects

Looking forward to the trading outturn for the second half of this year, it
should be noted that, historically, our first half tends to be our stronger
trading period. This is because results for the second half include the holiday
months of July and August as well as a shortened working period during December.
That being said, we remain quietly confident that, subject to normal trading
conditions, our full year results will be in line with expectations and we
remain on course to recommend our first final dividend to shareholders, payable
in May 2007.

We believe that the Group's national coverage, economies of scale and customer
service give us a competitive advantage when competing for business. We continue
to pursue our twin track approach of improving our existing businesses whilst
carefully exploring additional opportunities for growth through acquisition.

NATIONWIDE ACCIDENT REPAIR SERVICES PLC

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM ACCOUNTS


1. BASIS OF PREPARTION

The unaudited interim accounts have been prepared on the same basis and using
the same accounting policies as used in the audited financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2005 except that IAS 33, Earnings per share has been
applied for the first time.

The financial information set out in these interim accounts does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The
figures for the year ended 31 December 2005 have been extracted from the
statutory financial statements which have been filed with the Registrar of
Companies. The auditors' report on those financial statements was unmodified.

2. PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE ASSETS/OBLIGATIONS

The Group operates a defined benefit scheme and a defined contribution pension
scheme in the UK which offers both pensions in retirement and death benefits to
members. Since 1 January 2002 the defined benefit scheme has been closed to new
members. The assets of the schemes are administered by trustees independent of
the Group. The Company made contributions of #480,000 (2005: #480,000) to the
defined benefit scheme during the six month period to 30 June 2006 and
#2,582,000 in the year to 31 December 2005. The defined benefit scheme was
closed for future accruals on 31 July 2006 with active members transferred to a
new defined contribution section of the scheme.

The Group has opted to amortise all actuarial gains and losses above the
corridor (10% of the greater of assets and liabilities) over the future working
lifetime of the active membership.

A full actuarial valuation of the defined benefit scheme was carried out as at
31 December 2005 and was updated to 30 June 2006 by a qualified independent
actuary.

IAS 19
------

                                              30 June   30 June   31 Dec

The major assumptions used by the actuary
were (in nominal terms):
Rate of increase in salaries                     3.4%      3.4%     3.3%
Rate of increase in pensions - accrued pre

Rate of increase in pensions - accrued          
post 5 April 1997                               2.75%     2.75%    2.65%
Discount rate                                    5.5%      5.1%     5.0%
Inflation assumption                            2.75%     2.75%    2.65%

The assumptions used in determining the overall expected return of the scheme
have been set with reference to yields available on government bonds and
appropriate risk margins.
