Chief executive's statement

The results for the year to December 2011 produced a loss of £521,042 (2010: profit £1,407,777) and net assets of £970,760 (2010: net liabilities £364,532). The reported profit for 2010 arose after the write off of convertible loans relating to the discontinued ASG Media plc business which totalled £2.1m, following completion of the CVA which was approved in April 2011.

During the year the Company concluded the acquisition of Saolpoll (Jersey) Limited and Integeral Capital Markets Limited.

As announced on 1 September 2011, the Company entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the assets of ARM Asset Backed Securities S.A. ("ARM") together with the acquisition of Catalyst Investment Group Limited. Although a majority of ARM bondholders agreed to the terms of the offer, the conditions attaching to the agreement were not satisfied by the deadline date of 30 November 2011 and the offer subsequently lapsed.

The Company will continue to pursue acquisition opportunities which provide a positive return for investors.

Revenues in the year amounted to £250,000. The Board anticipates further material revenues during 2012 arising from the continuation of its SLS Programme, together with the acquisition and development of specific financial products.

I welcome Joanne Cutmore and Simon Sacerdoti to the board and with their expertise and support we look forward to the future with confidence.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Corporate Information

Insetco plc is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales. The company is quoted on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Company is Finsgate, 5 -7 Cranwood Street, London EC1V 9EE. The principal activity during the year was that of developing an infrastructure and exploiting commercial opportunities within the area of financial products with a specific emphasis on the life settlement market.

The financial information set out in this announcement does not constitute the statutory accounts of the Company for the year to 31 December 2011 but is derived from the 2011 Annual Report and Accounts which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

The financial statements of Insetco plc have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IASs") and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations, (collectively IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and presented in GBP which is both the functional and presentational currency of the Company.

3. Loss per share

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss after tax of £521,042 (2010: profit £1,407,777) and the weighted average number of shares in issue for the year of 156,533,380 (2010: 88,719,041).

The calculation of the diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2010 is based on the profit after tax of £1,407,777 and the weighted average number of shares in issue for the year of 89,969,041.

The calculation of the diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2011 is the same as the basic loss per share, as the loss for this period has an anti-dilutive effect.

4. Events after the reporting period

a) On 31 January 2012, it was agreed with the holders of the convertible loan note due for conversion and/or repayment on 31 January 2012 to defer such conversion and/or repayment and that the terms of the convertible note were amended as follows:
