Insetco plc
("Insetco" or the "Company")
Final results for year ended 31 December 2013
The Company was established in order to participate in the structuring of financial products with a particular focus on the US life settlements securitisationmarkets. The Company's intention is to acquire, as an agent for clients, US life insurance policies covering the life of one or more individuals, subject to specific parameters established with this client base.
Review of the business
The results for the year to 31 December 2013 produced a loss of £542,839 (2012: loss £1,777,189) and net liabilities of £391,768 (2012: net assets £151,071).
It has been recognised that the fair value of the investment in Saolpoll (Jersey) Limited and Insetco Capital Markets Limited should be provided for in full and this has contributed £200,000 to the reported loss.
Disappointingly, the company was unable to build its revenue development and the direction of the Company was adversely affected by unforeseen changes to the board. As a result, the Company sought additional finance during the year which was provided by the issuance of unsecured loans amounting to some £254,000.
With new directors having joined the board during the year and potential indications of refinancing and trading activities, we look forward to restoring the financial position of the Company.
