INCAGOLD PLC (THE 'COMPANY')


Preliminary Results


The Company announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2008


CHAIRMAN'S REPORT


I have pleasure reporting the annual results for the year ended 31 December 2008.


Financial overview


Turnover of the Group, principally emanating from IncaGold GmbH and its computer games publishing business, of £214,310 has stabilised on the reduced customer base, but remains 23 per cent. below revenues in the prior year (2007: £277,747). As a result of cost cutting measures undertaken, the loss before interest and tax was reduced by 51% to £129,803 compared to a loss of £262,822 in the prior year, reflecting management's continued focus on cost reduction.


At 31 December 2008 the Group had net liabilities of £84,330 (2007: net assets £45,473). However, the Group remained in a net cash position of £5,308 (2007: £10,162) and further funding is available from the facility provided by Fox Capital Limited. 


Auditor's Disclaimer on view given by the financial statements


As noted below, the trading assets of the business were transferred to the Swiss subsidiary in January 2008. Within the operating structure of the subsidiary, a number of individual royalty and distribution contracts were held by the subsidiary's developers and salesmen throughout Europe and were not collated at a single location. 


As a result completed, signed contracts were not readily available for review by the auditors in all cases, leading to the disclaimer in the Independent Auditor's Report on the basis of a limitation of work. This point is noted by the Directors and has been referred to the subsidiary and measures are being taken to correct the deficiency as part of a wholesale review of key controls in the business. 


Post balance sheet event: Issue of new shares


On 29 June 2009, it was resolved that the loan from Fox Capital Limited, which stood at £25,956 at 31 December 2009 and at £97,386 as at 29 June 2009 inclusive of interest and fees, be fully repaid by the issue of an allotment of 71,830,615 New Ordinary Shares to Fox Capital Limited (see note 21).


Change of Activities


As previously reported, the trading assets of the parent Company were transferred to the Swiss subsidiary (IncaGold GmbH) in January 2008, and on 29 June 2009 the Directors subsequently resolved to seek shareholder permission to dispose of the Company's interest in IncaGold GmbH pursuant to a Business Transfer Agreement, (the 'Agreement') entered into in February 2008.


The Directors expect shortly to issue a circular to shareholders seeking shareholders authority to dispose of the Company's interest in IncaGold GmbH as a going concern. Trading within the subsidiary is ongoing and results will be incorporated into the consolidated numbers of the Group until such time as the sale is completed.  


In October 2008, the Board sought and subsequently received shareholder approval to alter the focus of the activities of the Company to enable it to take advantage of opportunities within the cosmetic surgery insurance market where such opportunities arise. This change in focus began with an application being made to the UK's Financial Services Authority ('FSA') to become authorised and licensed as a general insurance broker. We await the outcome of our application and if successful will shortly thereafter conclude agreements with one or more insurance underwriters operating in this arena.  

From when the sale is completed, the Company will be treated as a cash shell by AIM until its insurance broker licence is approved, or another business focus or transaction is approved by shareholders, or until a period of 12 months has elapsed, when it will be delisted.   

Outlook

Following the decision to dispose of the subsidiary, IncaGold GmbH, the Company will be divesting itself of a loss making business and moreover, this action together with remedial actions taken to improve key controls, mean that the grounds for the disclaimer noted in the Auditor's Report have been removed. 

Furthermore, as at 29 June 2009, the Company has cleared its loan position with Fox Capital Limited while retaining the working capital facility of £100,000. This puts the Company on a sound footing to take advantage of opportunities available in the cosmetic surgery insurance business. 

The Directors also intend to rebrand the Company from IncaGold to Surgisure, as this name together with its logo better identifies the goods and services we intend to offer, creating influence within the marketplace and generating value. To this end the Directors have applied for and been granted approval in principle to change the name of the Company to Surgisure PLC and have applied for Community Trade Mark protection of both the name and logo. Shareholder approval for this change of name will be sought alongside approval for the disposal of IncaGold GmbH

The Companaccounts will be posted to shareholders and be made available for download on the Company's website. Notice of the Annual General Meeting will be circulated in a separate document and the statutory accounts will be filed at Companies House once approved by shareholders

The last year has been a difficult period but the Directors would like to thank all shareholders for their patience.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF INCAGOLD PLC


We have audited the group and parent company financial statements (the ''financial statements'') of IncaGold Plc for the year ended 31 December 2008 which comprise the consolidated income statement, the consolidated and company balance sheets, the consolidated and company cash flow statements, the consolidated and company statement of changes in equity and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein. 


Our report has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of section 15 of the Isle of Man Companies Act 1982 and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the purpose of the Isle of Man Companies Act 1982 or has been expressly authorised to do so by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby expressly disclaim any and all such liability. 


Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors 


The directors' responsibilities for preparing the annual report and group and parent company financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) as adopted by the European Union are set out in the statement of directors' responsibilities. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). 


We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Isle Of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 and whether the information given in the Report of the Directors is consistent with those financial statements. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the company has not kept proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors' remuneration and other transactions is not disclosed. 


We read other information contained in the annual report, and consider whether it is consistent with the audited financial statements. This other information comprises only the directors' report, the Chairman's Report, the report on Corporate Governance and the reports of the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the AIM Compliance Committee. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information. 


Basis of audit opinion 


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgments made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group's and company's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. 


We planned our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. However, the evidence available to us was limited with respect of the results of the subsidiary company. Due to the lack of contractual records provided to us, we have been unable to verify income of £214,310, expenditure of £49,699, debtors of £192,720 and creditors of £67,179.



In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. 


Opinion:


  • the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRS's as adopted by the European Union, of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2008;



Opinion: disclaimer on view given by the financial statements


Because of the possible effect of the limitation in evidence available to us regarding the results of the subsidiary, IncaGold GMBH, we are unable to form an opinion as to whether:


  • the Group Financial Statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with IFRS's as adopted by the European Union, of the state of the Group's affairs as at 31 December 2008 and of its loss for the year then ended;


  • the Financial Statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Isle Of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004; and


In respect solely of the limitation of our work referred to above regarding the results of the subsidiary, IncaGold GMBH:


  • we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit December 2008; and


  • we were unable to determine whether proper accounting records have been maintained.


Notwithstanding our disclaimer on the view given by the financial statements, in our opinion the information given in the Directors' Report is consistent with the financial statements.



Emphasis of matter - change of strategy


We have considered the disclosure in Note 21 regarding the application for a licence to operate as an insurance broker, and draw your attention to the criticality of this licence to the future operation of the business, and the limited life of the company as a listed cash shell.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FOR THE 12 MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008


1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES



1.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements




The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European 
Union and with those parts of the Isle of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. A summary of the more important Group accounting policies is set out below.


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. 


The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which is dependent on the raising of finance by the conversion of loans as described in notes 20 and 21


The Company has elected to take the exemption under Section 230 of the Isle Of Man Companies Acts 1931 to 2004 to not present the parent company income statement. The amount of the loss for the 12 months, after taxation, accounted for within the parent company income statement amounted to £72,974 (2007: £344,091 loss).



1.2

Foreign currency translation




Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.


Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.


Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:


  • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate of that balance sheet;

  • income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transaction); and

  • all resulting changes are recognised as a separate component of equity.



1.3

Revenue




Revenue represents sales of licences and boxed software to external customers. Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration for the sale of goods and services, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts. Revenue from the sale of goods and services is recognised on delivery of the respective goods and services, when the Company has transferred risks and rewards of ownership to the customer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured. 



1.4

Discontinued operations




A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of, has been abandoned or meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.


Discontinued operations are presented on the income statement as separate lines and are shown net of tax.




1.5

Business Combinations




The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date
. 



1.6   Investments in subsidiaries




   Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment, if any.



1.7

Intangible assets 




Intangible assets arise on the Group's portfolio of games and on technology developed by the Group. Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost less amortisation. Amortisation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of these fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives.


Impairment reviews are performed at the end of the first full financial year following initial recognition and, thereafter, if subsequent events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Where appropriate, the intangible fixed assets are then written down to their recoverable amount.



1.8

Property, Plant and Equipment




Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Regular purchases and sales are accounted for at the trade date. Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:






Computer equipment

33%

Straight line basis





Fixtures and Fittings

33%

Straight line basis




1.9

Inventories




Inventories consist of games in the course of development. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Costs represent all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.



1.10

Royalty payments



Where the company acquires games under licence, royalty payments may be payable on future sales under terms agreed with the vendor. In certain cases, royalty payments may be made in advance of sales. Such payments will be carried forward on the balance sheet until the game is released or for a maximum of twelve months. When the game is released, royalties arising on sales will be charge to the profit and loss account. Any remaining balances of advances which have not been fully covered by royalties payable on sales after twelve months will be reviewed and written off if necessary.



1.11

Taxation 



Income tax comprises current and deferred tax (if applicable). It is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. 






Current tax, including UK corporation tax and foreign tax, is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.






Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 






The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, other than in a business combination; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. 






Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.



1.12

Financial assets 



Financial assets are recognised in the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.


Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at 'fair value through the profit and loss' (FVTPL), 'held-to-maturity' investments (HTM), 'available-for-sale' (AFS) financial assets, and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. No FVTPL or HTM assets or liabilities are held.






Loans and receivables



Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that are non-derivative instruments having fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value less directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. 






Available for sale



Financial assets that are not classified as held-to-maturity; held-for-trading; designated as fair value through the profit and loss; or loans and receivables are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale assets are initially recognised at fair value plus directly related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at fair value. Unquoted equity investments whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are carried at cost and are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Impairment losses and exchange differences resulting from re-translating the amortised cost of currency monetary available-for-sale assets are recognised in profit and loss together with interest calculated using the effective interest method. 


1.13

Financial liabilities 






Financial Liabilities



Financial liabilities are recognised in the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All the Group's financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost.






Other financial liabilities



Other financial liabilities including borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. 






Short term and long term borrowings

Short term and long term borrowings are initially measured at fair value and, are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Group's accounting policy for borrowing costs (see below).


Borrowing costs

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Interest is not capitalised within property, plant and equipment.

 

The effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability (or group of financial assets or liabilities) and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the expected life of an asset or liability. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimate future cash flows to the instrument's initial carrying amount. 



1.14

Interest Expense






Interest expense is recognised in the income statement on an accruals basis using the effective interest method. 



1.15

Impairment of assets






At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes an estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use and is deemed for an individual asset. If the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is determined. Discount rates reflecting the asset specific risks and the time value of money are used for the value in use calculation. 




1.16

Share-Based Payments






The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payments.


The Group issues equity-settled share based payments to certain employees. Equity-settled share based payments are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non market-based vesting conditions.





1.17

Key sources of estimation uncertainty



The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation and uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:


Recoverability of intangible assets


During the year, the Directors reconsidered the recoverability of the Group's intangible asset arising from its licenses and technology. Given the trading environment continues to be challenging the Group's technology assets were impaired and a charge of £5,414 was recognised in the profit and loss account to write these assets down to a nominal value of £1 






1.18

New IFRS standards and interpretations effective in the current period






The following new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations became effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008:


IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Reclassification of financial instruments

IFRIC 12 Service concession arrangements

IFRIC 14 The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their Interaction


The implementation of these new interpretations did not have any significant impact on the Group's accounting policies or treatments.

The cost of inventory recognised as an expense was nil (2007: £41,130). As the Group moved to a licensed based model in 2008 all existing box games stocks were written off on 31 December 2007. No research and development expenditure was recognised during the year (2007: nil).


Exceptional items


Following the restructuring of the business and the transfer of the core trading assets and liabilities from IncaGold Plc to IncaGold GmbH in January 2008, the associated intangible assets in respect of Mobile Technology and the Games Portfolio were written down to their realisable value. The charge of £106,406 was recorded in the year to 31 December 2007 and is shown as an exceptional item in administrative expenses


On 12 December 2007, under the terms of an overdraft guarantee facility, the Group received an injection of £100,829 from Ataraxia Investments Limited, a company controlled by a director of the Company at that time.

    

These items are included in the comparative figures for 2007.

    Factors affecting tax charge for the 12 months

    

The Group has no UK corporation tax charge for the period due to the loss before tax suffered by the Group. The non-assessable items in the reconciliation below refer to exchange differences and amortisation, the temporary differences and tax losses amounts arise from other operating items contributing to the Company's losses. There is no Swiss corporation tax charge on the subsidiary due to the losses suffered by this company in the current and prior years.


    Factors that may affect future tax charges

    

No deferred income tax asset has been recognised in these financial statements for these tax losses as a result of uncertainty over recoverability. 


A reconciliation of income tax expense applicable to accounting loss before income tax at the statutory income tax rate to income tax expense at the Company's effective income tax rate for the years ended 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2007 is as follows:

9.    EARNINGS PER SHARE


    Basic loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss for the financial period attributable to ordinary shareholders amounting to £129,803 (2007: £274,392) by 377,424,845 (2007: 182,904,297) ordinary shares, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. 


Diluted loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss for the financial period attributable to ordinary shareholders by 381,424,845 (2007: 186,904,297), the weighted average number of shares taking into account share options granted to Directors 2,740,000 (2007: 2,740,000) and to employees of 1,260,000 (2007: 1,260,000).


The average number of shares in issue during the period ended 31 July 2007 was a reflection of the capital structure appropriate to both the continuing and the discontinued operations.

On 9 May 2008 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Fox Capital Limited ('Fox') whereby Fox made available to the Company a working capital facility of up to £30,000. The principal terms are that in addition to paying interest at a rate of 1.5% above the HSBC base rate, the Company shall pay a fee of 25% of the maximum amount drawn down during the loan period which shall be paid to Fox at the Repayment date. 


The Repayment date is defined as the earlier of seven years from the date of agreement, or at any time after the first anniversary of the Secured Loan Agreement at the election of Fox and on giving of one month's written notice to the Company. In order to provide security for the Secured loan agreement, the Company entered into a debenture agreement whereby any amounts outstanding and unpaid under the Secured Loan Agreement are secured on the Company's fixed and floating assets. 


On the Repayment Date, Fox may elect to subscribe for the new ordinary shares in the Company, converting the total amount of the loan outstanding together with any accrued interest and the fee described above at the subscription price equivalent to the mid market price on the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Secured Loan agreement was entered into. 


Under AIM Rule 13, the Secured Loan Agreement constituted a Related Party Transaction as Fox is a related party as disclosed in related party disclosures note 20


  


17.    SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS


Equity-settled share option scheme


    Share options granted to the directors and employees during the year to 31 December 2008 are set out below. In addition further options totalling 9,000,000 shares were issued to a director, M Evans, on 14 April 2009. 

    

During 2005 share options were granted to a number of directors and employees according to the share plan approved by the Board on 17 May 2005


The options were granted on 19 May 2009 when the price per share was 3 pence per ordinary share. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, options must be exercised between 19 May 2006 and 19 May 2015 and the exercise price shall be 3 pence per ordinary share. The options were granted in recognition of past services and the vesting period expires after a period of 10 years from the date of grant. 


Under the terms of the agreement, these options were forfeit in the year as the employees left the Group. Details of the share options outstanding during the year are as follows:

The options outstanding at 31 December 2008 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 6.3 years. The fair value of the options granted and in existence in the year is calculated using the Black-Scholes modelThe key inputs to the model are shown below:








2008



Weighted average share price




0.15 pence



Weighted average exercise price




3 pence



Expected volatility




50%



Vesting period




2 years



Life of an option




10 years



Risk free rate




3.50%



Expected dividend yield




0.00%


The expected volatility was determined based on the historical four year average of comparable quoted technology and software companies. The Monte Carlo Simulation takes account of early exercise behaviour using assumptions of normally distributed prices. 

    

    Based on the share price of 0.7p at 31 December 2008 and the performance of the Group, the directors consider the total fair value of options granted to be immaterial and accordingly no provision has been recognised to date. 

  

17.    SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (Continued) 


Equity-settled share option scheme


    In addition to the shares noted above, options over a further 9,000,000 shares were issued to a director, M Evans, on 14 April 2009. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, after vesting, the options will be exercisable at any time until 1 April 2014, and the exercise price shall be 3 pence per ordinary share which is at a premium to the mid-market price as at the close of business on 9 April 2009 which was 0.275p

    The options will vest in three tranches as follows:

  • 3,000,000 options will vest on the first anniversary of his appointment;

  • 3,000,000 options will vest on the second anniversary of his appointment; and

  • 3,000,000 options will vest on the third anniversary of his appointment.

Under the terms of the agreement, £50,000 was paid in cash and ordinary shares were issued in January 2006 at an issue price of £0.0525 each in respect of a further £50,000. The remaining balance of £150,000 is subject to certain conditions which, if fulfilled, will be satisfied by the issue of further ordinary shares at the same issue price of £0.0525 each. 


  


19.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK EXPOSURE AND MANAGEMENT


    The Group's financial instruments comprise borrowings, cash and cash equivalents, and financial assets and various items such as trade receivables, trade payables and accruals that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group's operations.


    The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing the level of foreign exchange and other risks arising from the Group's financial instruments. These are summarised below.


Foreign exchange risk - The key concentration of risk arises on the Group's exposure to foreign exchange movements. The Group operates internationally with key operations in the Euro Area and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising primarily from the Euro and the Swiss FrancExposure to volatile currencies is minimised by invoicing mainly in Euros, US dollars and Sterling. Wherever possible, the Group seeks to mitigate exchange risk by matching revenues and expenses. The Group's exposure to movements in exchange rates is regularly reviewed with reference to the net assets. 


Group policy is to recognise gains and losses on intergroup payables and receivables in profit and loss. A net gain of £5,341 was recognised in the operating loss (2007: loss £1,317) due to the fall in sterling against the Euro and US dollar. 


    Interest rate risk - The Group has various bank facilities in Sterling and other European currencies. The Group's exposure to movements in interest rates is regularly reviewed. 


    Liquidity risk - Liquidity risk arises from the Group's management of working capital. It is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. 


    The Group's policy regarding liquidity is to ensure sufficient cash resources are maintained to meet short-term liabilities and to maintain an overdraft facility with its bankers. The Group's operations are financed by a mixture of equity and bank overdrafts. Working capital requirements are met principally out of equity by conversion of the loans to Fox Capital Ltd (see note 20). In addition, various financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors arise directly from the Company's operations. 


    The only significant financial asset the Group has is cash at bank. Cash is held either on current or on short term deposits at floating rates of interest determined by the relevant bank's prevailing base rate. 

 

    Credit risk - The risk of financial loss due to a counterparty's failure to honour its obligations arises principally in relation to transactions where the Group provides goods and services on deferred terms. The Group's policies are aimed at minimising such losses, and require that deferred terms are granted only to customers who demonstrate an appropriate payment history and satisfy creditworthiness procedures.  


    Individual exposures are monitored with customers subject to credit terms to ensure that the Group's exposure to bad debts is minimised. Goods may be sold on a cash with order basis to mitigate credit risk. In some cases bad debt insurance is purchased where the cost is not excessive when compared to the risks covered. The Directors review receivables for impairment on a case-by-case basis. Where receivables are not considered recoverable and the Directors consider that there is evidence for impairment a charge is made in part or in whole to the allowance account. 


Market risk - The Group operates in a fast-moving games publishing business and aims to be the leading provider of promotional giveaways based on digital content delivered to mass-market consumers. As the Group's activities remain focussed on this domain, the Group is exposed to rapid changes in technologies and consumer tastes. To mitigate this risk, the Directors actively monitor the games markets and where necessary explore alternative markets for growth (note 21 - Post Balance Sheet Events).

Available for Sale Assets

The only available for sale asset is the investment in the subsidiary that is held at nil value and as result has not been disclosed above


Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts and are classified as assets available-for-sale. Bank overdrafts are shown as borrowings within current liabilities on the balance sheet.


Fair value:

    The carrying amounts of the Group's and Company's financial assets and non-fixed rate liabilities are not materially different to the fair values shown above.


  

Maturity of long term borrowings 


    The Group held the following financial liabilities at 31 December 2008:

In more than one year but not more than two years

-


All Group borrowings relate to the borrowings held by the Company and as a result there is no difference in maturity between Group and Company borrowings.


Amounts outstanding include interest of £5,456 (2007: nil). 


Sensitivity analysis 


The functional currency of the Swiss subsidiary IncaGold GmbH is Sterling and as a result there is considered to be no exposure of the balance sheet to foreign exchange fluctuationsThe sensitivity analysis has been prepared on the assumption that the amount of net debt and the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt are constant. The table below shows the sensitivity of the Group's operating expense to movements in the Sterling/Euro exchange rate

Company


All Group trading denominated in foreign currencies relates to IncaGold GmbH and as a result the Company is not subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. 


The Group has no external borrowings and as a result is not exposed to movements in interest rates. 


Capital management


The Group deploys a combination of equity capital annual cash flows and whenever necessary borrowings to maximise returns on capital to shareholders. Equity capital comprises its ordinary share capital, share premium account, other reserves and accumulated retained earnings. The Group applies to Shareholders for consent to issue further shares for cash, to issue shares in connection with acquisitions and to repurchase shares either for cancellation or to hold as Treasury Shares. The Shareholder consents allow the Board flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities to make small changes in the equity capital base, where these are considered to be of benefit to Shareholders. 


It is expected that Shareholders will achieve the majority of their return through an increase in the capital value. There have been no significant changes to the Group's long-term capital management objectives, policies and processes in the year, nor has there been any change in what the Group considers to be its capital.


The net debt to equity ratio at 31 December 2008 is 31% negative on account of the Groups, net liability position. The group had net cash at 31 December 2007. 


  

20.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Control


On 4 July 2008 10,711,190 ordinary shares in the Company had been transferred to Fox Capital Limited as part settlement of a claim brought by Roy Tilleard against Richard Holmes and Ataraxia Investments Limited, a company controlled by Richard Holmes. On 15 July 2008, 66,771,127 further ordinary shares were transferred to Fox Capital Limited from Ataraxia Investments Limited as final settlement of the claim. 


Of the Companies issued share capital at 31 December 2008, 288,489,274 (2007: 211,006,957 ) shares are held by Fox Capital Limited on 21 December 2007, a company controlled by R W Tilleard representing 76.43% (2007: 55.9%) of the issued ordinary share capital. 


Loan agreement 


On 9 May 2008 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Fox Capital Limited ('Fox') whereby Fox made available to the Company a working capital facility of up to £30,000. The terms of the Loan are set out in Borrowings - note 16. On 3 June 2009 the Company announced an amendment to the agreement whereby the facility was extended to £100,000, and on 29 June converted its loan into shares (note 21) such that the entire £100,000 facility became once again available to the Company.


Under AIM Rule 13, the Secured Loan Agreement constituted a Related Party Transaction as Fox is a related party because it is a substantial shareholder, and two of its directors, Roy Tilleard and Justin Martin, are directors of the Company. Richard Holmes who was the only independent director for these purposes at the time of entering into the loan, considered, having consulted with Dowgate Capital Advisors Limited, the Company's nominated advisor at the time, that the terms of the of the Secured Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. The loan extension was approved as fair and reasonable by Jonathan Ely and Michael Evans as independent director after consultation with Zeus Capital Limited, the Company's current advisers.


21.    POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS


On 31 October 2008, the Board sought and received shareholder approval to alter the sector focus of the activities of the Company to enable it to take advantage of opportunities arising within the cosmetic surgery insurance industry. Following this approval from shareholders, the Directors commenced talks with various U.K. based insurance underwriters operating in the healthcare arena, and in April 2009 an application was made to the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority for a licence to operate as an insurance broker. This application is still progressing and the receipt of the licence is critical to the future of the business.  

To assist in implementation of this strategy, Michael Evans was appointed to the Board on 14 April 2009. Michael Evans has extensive experience in the insurance industry spanning over 35 years. The Company has agreed to grant Michael Evans options over 9,000,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of 0.3p per share on certain future dates subject to his remaining a director of the Company (see note 17 share options).

On 29 June 2009 the board of Directors passed a resolution to transfer the games business of the Company to the subsidiary, IncaGold GmbH under the terms of the Business Transfer Agreement dated 1 February 2008, and subsequently to sell the subsidiary to the director of IncaGold GmbH, subject to shareholder approval, for total consideration of £1 with guarantee from the purchaser for all sums in relation to the liabilities and indemnifies the Company against any sums which the vendor may be compelled to pay in connection with the liabilities of the subsidiary. Accordingly they have reclassified the Company's games business as a discontinued operation and prepared the accounts on that basis. From when the sale is completed, the Company will be treated as a cash shell by AIM until its insurance broker licence is approved, or another business focus or transaction is approved by shareholders or until a period of 12 months has elapsed, when it will be delisted.   

Also on that date the Board resolved to approve the conversion of loans from Fox Capital Limited into shares (see note 20). The loan, which was £97,386 inclusive of interest and fees as at the 29 June 2009, was fully repaid by the allotment of 71,830,615 New Ordinary Shares be issued to Fox Capital Limited. This existing loan facility from Fox Capital limited of £100,000 remains in place and available to the Company
