DORIEMUS PLC
("DORIEMUS" or "the Company")
Final Results for Year Ending 31 December 2013
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present the final results for the year ended 31 December 2013.
The Company has acquired three exciting investments during the year which we
believe will enhance future shareholder value and continues to maintain its
interest in the TEP Exchange business.
Your board of directors will continue to seek out further investments in the UK
"conventional" oil and gas space and work closely with Angus Energy Limited on
ways of increasing our oil production from the existing operating fields.
The next financial year should see significant improvements in production at
two of Angus Energy's licences (Lidsey and Brockham) with new production wells
proposed to be drilled on both. We should also know the outcome of the Horse
Hill-1 well.
We will also continue to seek out further investments in line with the
Company's investment strategy.
Investments
Horse Hill Prospect:
Doriemus has a direct 10.0% interest in Horse Hill Development Ltd ("HHDL"), a
special purpose company that owns a 65% participating interest and operatorship
of the Horse Hill Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence No. 137 (PEDL
137) located in Surrey, United Kingdom.
Angus Energy Limited ("Angus Energy"), the major shareholder of HHDL and the
operator of PEDL 137 has provided the Company with the following update on the
proposed Horse Hill-1 well planned for completion by the end of August 2014.
* All tenders are now out for the site construction and long lead items for
the well.
* The contracts for the drill rig and key service providers are in the final
stages of negotiation.
* Permitting is currently on track for a spud date in July 2014.
* The depth of Horse Hill-1 well has been set to 8,512 feet to test
conventional stacked oil and gas targets.
As previously announced on 13 January 2014, the Horse Hill-1 well is designed
to test a number of conventional stacked oil and gas targets which the board
believes could contain up to an estimated 671 million stock barrels ("MMSTB")
oil in place with an estimated total mean recoverable prospective resources of
87 MMSTB and additional prospectivity of 456 Bcf gas in place (Mean 164+ Bcf
recoverable prospective resource) in the proposed Triassic gas play.
On 16 June 2014, the Company was advised that that site construction has now
commenced for the proposed Horse Hill-1 well. The well is expected to spud in
July 2014 and is targeting a number of conventional stacked oil and gas
targets.
Brockham Oil Field (10% owned by DOR and operated by Angus Energy):
The Brockham Oil Field ("Brockham"), in the Weald Basin, is held under United
Kingdom Production Licence PL 235. Oil production was recently increased from
42 bopd to 84 bopd after a successful work-over programme in January 2014 and
production has only slightly tapered off to its current levels of about 66
bopd. Brockham's 28 API oil is regularly trucked and sold to the Perenco Oil
Refinery in southern England.
The planned 450 metre side-track well at Brockham, designed to increase overall
production from the field, as previously announced on 25 April 2014, has been
temporarily delayed by up to 13 weeks due to the UK Environmental Agency having
recently requested that the operator, Angus Energy, must apply for a new mining
waste permit. Angus Energy is currently attending to obtaining this additional
permit.
An appropriate drill rig is on standby to undertake this side-track well, and
it is planned to mobilise the rig to site once the new mining waste permit has
been issued.
In preparation for the expected increase in oil production, post the
side-track, Angus Energy has now completed the refurbishment of the
1,200-barrel storage tank facilities.
In March 2014, the Company announced that RPS Energy Consultants Limited
("RPS") had independently assessed that, as at 31 December 2013, the Brockham
Field contains 3.62 million barrels (gross) Oil in-place (P50 best case).
Lidsey Oil Field (20% owned by DOR and operated by Angus Energy):
The Lidsey Oil Field ("Lidsey"), in the Weald Basin, is held under United
Kingdom Production Licence PL 241. Oil production was 25 bopd, prior to a
re-completion programme completed in November and December 2013, which resulted
in a temporary boost in oil production. Production has steadily declined to 36
bopd and Angus Energy formally advised the partners in Lidsey that a new
re-completion was being planned to re-perforate virgin oil zones in the
Lidsey-1 well in order to again increase production.
On 11 June 2014, the Company announced that work had started on the second
stage well intervention on the producing Lidsey-1 well. Results of this work
will be announced shortly.
Lidsey has a fully permitted and operational 2,000-barrel storage facility and
its 38 API oil is regularly trucked and sold to the Perenco Oil Refinery.
In March 2014, the Company announced that RPS had independently assessed that,
as at 31 December 2013, the Lidsey Field contained 9.52 million barrels (gross)
of P50 best case Oil In-Place.
Drilling of a new Lidsey-2 well has now been postponed until after the
completion of drilling of the proposed Horse Hill-1 well.
TEP Exchange:
The TEP Exchange is a web-based exchange for Traded Endowment Policies (TEP),
enabling instant deals between Market Makers (buyers) and IFAs (Sellers). This
unique environment provides an efficient and user-friendly link between buyers
and sellers in the TEP market. The TEP Exchange does not buy or sell
endowments, but rather facilitates the trading of TEPs through an exchange
platform.
The market demand for traded endowment policies was extremely depressed and
Company continued to work closely with market makers in anticipation of
increasing demand for policies. The board continues to maintain strong controls
over the TEP exchange cost base but are mindful to explore other opportunities
for the Company.
Background Events
During the financial year, there has been a period of considerable change for
the Company. The uncertainty surrounding the future demand and supply of traded
endowment policies resulted in the Board considering the strategic direction of
the Company.
As a consequence of the strategic review by the Board, in March 2013 three new
Directors being Donald Strang, Hamish Harris and Grant Roberts were appointed
simultaneously with the re-capitalisation of the Company together with the
adoption by the Board of the new investment policy approved by shareholders at
a general meeting on 15 March 2013.
The new investing policy was set out in detail in the circular issued by the
Company on 21 February 2013 whereby the Company would be able to maintain its
interest in the TEP business but also seek to maximise shareholder value by
drawing on the experience and expertise of the three new Directors in
identifying accretive opportunities.
In line with the new investing policy the Company changed its name to Doriemus
Plc on 16 July 2013.
The board has raised approximately £2.36 million to strengthen the Company's
balance sheet and which provides funds to be invested according to the
Company's new investing policy.
New investing policy
The Company's new investing policy is to invest in and/or acquire companies and
/or projects within the natural resources sector with potential for growth. The
Company will also consider opportunities in other sectors as they arise if the
Board considers there is an opportunity to generate an attractive return for
Shareholders. Investments may be considered in all regions to the extent that
the Board considers that valuable opportunities exist and returns can be
achieved. In selecting investment opportunities, the Board will focus on
businesses, assets and/or projects that are available at attractive valuations
and hold opportunities to unlock embedded value.
The Board will seek to invest in businesses where it may influence the business
at a board level, add their expertise to the management of the business, and
utilise their significant industry relationships and access to finance. The
ability to work alongside a strong management team to maximize returns through
revenue growth will be something the Board will focus upon.
The Company's interests in a proposed investment and/or acquisition may range
from a minority position to full ownership. The proposed investments may be
either quoted or unquoted, may be in companies, partnerships, earn-in joint
ventures, debt or other loan structures, joint ventures or direct interests in
projects. The Board may focus on investments where intrinsic value can be
achieved from the restructuring of investments or merger of complementary
businesses. The Board expects that investments will typically be held for the
medium to long term, although short term disposal of assets cannot be ruled out
if there is an opportunity to generate an attractive return for Shareholders.
Results for the period
Loss for the year to 31 December 2013 amounted to £(598,000) (2012: £591,000
operating profit).
Total revenue for the period was £235,000 (2012: £916,000).
On 21 February 2013 the Company announced that an interim dividend for the 2013
accounting period of 0.02p per share would be paid to shareholders on 12 April
2013 and the dividend was duly paid.
Outlook
Your Board considers that the adoption of the new Investing Policy is in the
best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Board
acknowledges this exciting period for the Company as it proceeds to implement
its new investment strategy and has already commenced acquiring new investments
and continues to evaluate further investment opportunities as they arise.
We believe the Company is now best placed to move forward and to enhance future
shareholder value.
We will continue to seek out further investments in line with the Company's
investment strategy and will also work closely with Angus Energy on ways of
potentially increasing our oil production from the existing operating fields.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for
their continued support.
I look forward to reporting further progress over the next period and beyond.

Notes forming part of the financial statements

1 Accounting policies
Background information
Doriemus plc is incorporated and domiciled in Great Britain. The address of
Doriemus plc's registered office is Suite 3B, 38 Jermyn Street, London, SW1Y
6DN which is also the Company's principal place of business. Doriemus plc's
shares are listed on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange. The Company changed
its name from TEP Exchange Group Plc by resolution on 16 July 2013.
Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial
statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to
the company and the group to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and EU
adopted IFRICs (collectively IFRS) issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by European Union ("adopted IFRSs"), and in
accordance with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to those
companies preparing their accounts under IFRS. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
As described in the Directors Report on page 5, the directors have a reasonable
expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. The group therefore continues to adopt
the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements.
Standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards not yet
effective
In the current year, the following new and revised Standards and
Interpretations have been adopted and have affected the amounts reported in
these financial statements.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
The Company has applied IFRS13 for the first time in the current year. IFRS13
establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and
disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS13 defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the
measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under IFRS13 is an
exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated
using another valuation technique. Also, IFRS13 includes extensive disclosure
requirements.
IFRS13 requires prospective application from 1 January 2013. In addition,
specific transitional provisions were given to entities such that they need not
apply the disclosure requirements set out in the Standard in comparative
information provided for periods before the initial application of the
Standard.
In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Company has not made any
new disclosures required by IFRS13 for the 2012 comparative period. Other than
the additional disclosures, the application of IFRS13 has not had any impact on
the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements
(as part of the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009; 2011 Cycle issued in May
2012)
The Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009; 2011 have made a number of amendments to
IFRSs. The amendments that are relevant to the Company are the amendments to
IAS1 regarding when a statement of financial position as at the beginning of
the preceding period (third statement of financial position) and the related
notes are required to be presented. The amendments specify that a third
statement of financial position is required when a) an entity applies an
accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or
reclassification of items in its financial statements, and b) the retrospective
application, restatement or reclassification has a material effect on the
information in the third statement of financial position. The amendments
specify that related notes are not required to accompany the third statement of
financial position.
This has no impact for the 2013 financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS7 Disclosures
The Company has applied the amendments to IFRS7 Disclosures-Offsetting
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for the first time in the current
year. The amendments to IFRS7 require entities to disclose information about
rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting
requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting
agreement or similar arrangement.
As the Company does not have any offsetting arrangements in place, the
application of the amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following
Standards and Interpretations which have not been applied in these financial
statements were in issue but not yet effective (and in some cases had not yet
been adopted by the EU):
IFRS9 Financial Instruments
IFRS10 Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS12 Joint Arrangements
IAS27 (revised) Investment Entities
IAS28 (revised) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
IAS32 (revised) Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
IAS36 (revised) Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non Financial Assets
IAS39 (revised) Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
IFRIC Interpretation21 Levies
The directors do not expect that the adoption of the Standards and
Interpretations listed above will have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Company in future periods, except as that IFRS9 will impact
both the measurement and disclosures of Financial Instruments.
Beyond the information above, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable
estimate of the effect of these standards until a detailed review has been
completed.
The directors do not expect that the adoption of the standards listed above
will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in
future periods, however, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate
of the effect of these standards until a detailed review has been completed.
Basis of consolidation
Where the company has the power, either directly or indirectly, to govern the
financial and operating policies of another entity or business so as to obtain
benefits from its activities, it is classified as a subsidiary. The
consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its
subsidiaries ("the group") as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany
transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in
full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted across the group.
Revenue
Revenue is generated from two sources of income currently. In the current and
prior years, revenue has represented fees and commission (exclusive of value
added tax) from licensing of the group's proprietary electronic platform and
advertising the purchase of with profit endowment policies by market makers
registered on the electronic platform. Fees and commission income is recognised
when the group's contractual obligations are complete. Income has also been
generated from the maturity of an endowment policy. In the current year,
revenue is also being generated from the Company's Farm-in interests, on an
accrued monthly basis, along with the associated costs.
Expenses
Expenses are recognised in the period when obligations are incurred and matched
against when the related revenue is recognised.
Financial assets
The group classifies its financial assets into categories as set out below,
depending on the purpose for which the asset was acquired.
Trade and other receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally
through the provision of goods and services to customers (e.g. trade
receivables), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset.
They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are
directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently
carried at cost, less provision for impairment, if appropriate.
Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as
significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default
or significant delay in payment) that the group will be unable to collect all
of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such a provision
being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of
the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable. For
trade receivables, which are reported net, such provisions are recorded in a
separate allowance account with the loss being recognised within administrative
expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. On confirmation that the
trade receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset
is written off against the associated provision.
The group's loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables and cash
and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position. Those of the
company also include amounts due from subsidiary undertakings.
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. Bank overdrafts are shown within loans and borrowings in
current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
Financial liabilities
The group classifies its financial liabilities into one of the following
categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired:
* Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are
initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised
cost using the effective interest method
* Bank and other borrowings are initially recognised at fair value net of any
transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the instrument.
* Income received in advance is recorded as deferred income on the balance
sheet.
Share capital
Financial instruments issued by the group are treated as equity only to the
extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. The
group's ordinary and deferred shares are classified as equity instruments.
Investments in subsidiary undertakings
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are held as non-current assets and are
stated at cost less provision for impairment in value.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing
part of the plant and equipment when that cost is incurred, if the recognition
criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in
profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the useful life of the
asset as follows:
Computer equipment - 3 years
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 4 years
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or
loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is
included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
Intangible assets - Licences
Licences are recognised as an intangible asset at historical cost and are
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment
losses. The licences have a finite life and no residual value and are amortised
over the life of the licence.
Exploration of mineral resources
Acquired intangible assets, which consist of mining rights, are valued at cost
less accumulated amortisation.
The Group applies the full cost method of accounting for exploration and
evaluation costs, having regard to the requirements of IFRS 6 'Exploration for
and Evaluation of Mineral Resources'. All costs associated with mining
development and investment are capitalised on a project by project basis
pending determination of the feasibility of the project. Such expenditure
comprises appropriate technical and administrative expenses but not general
overheads.
Such exploration and evaluation costs are capitalised provided that the Group's
rights to tenure are current and one of the following conditions is met:
i. such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and
exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its sale; or
ii. the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable
assessment of whether or not economically recoverable resources exist; or
iii. active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
Exploration of mineral resources (continued)
When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not
commercial, any exploration and evaluation costs previously capitalised in
respect of that area are written off to profit or loss.
Amortisation does not take place until production commences in these areas.
Once production commences, amortisation is calculated on the unit of production
method, over the remaining life of the mine. Impairment assessments are carried
out regularly by the directors. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed
for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount
may exceed its recoverable amount. Such indicators include the point at which a
determination is made as to whether or not commercial reserves exist.
The asset's residual value and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if
appropriate, at each reporting date. An assets' carrying value is written down
immediately to its recoverable value if the assets carrying amount is greater
than its listed recoverable amount.
Impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest
levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating
units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and
some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those
cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the
related business combination and represent the lowest level within the Group at
which management monitors the related cash flows.
Goodwill, other individual assets or cash-generating units that include
goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested
for impairment at least annually.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's or
cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions
less costs to sell, and value in use. Impairment losses recognised for
cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are credited
initially to the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining impairment loss is
charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash generating unit. With the
exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications
that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist.
Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is
recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to
items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this
case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries
where the company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable
income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with
respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to
interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of
amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
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 consolidated financial statements. However,
the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor
taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and
laws) that have been enacted or substantially 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.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary
differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, expect where
the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the
group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or
different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances
on a net basis.
Segmental reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal
reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating
decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board.
Deferred Income
License fees received in advance are recorded as deferred income on the balance
sheet, and the income released to the comprehensive income as services are
provided.
Distribution of dividends
Dividends are recorded in the accounts when they become a legal obligation of
the payer. For final dividends, this will be when they are approved by the
company. For interim dividends, this will be when they have been paid.
2 Revenue and segmental reporting
The group's current revenue is all generated in the United Kingdom mainly from
the licensing of its electronic platform for trading endowment policies. The
group also earns fees from advertising the purchase of with profit endowment
policies by market makers registered on the electronic platform. The revenue
from this segment was £219,587.
The group has no other geographical segments.
The group's other operating segment is mining, within the United Kingdom.
However with this segment in its infancy, and with the only major related
transactions being the acquisition of the intangible assets as described in
note 10. The revenue from this segmental was £15,513.
Subject to further acquisitions and disposals, the Group expects to further
review its segmental information during the forthcoming financial year, as it
begins to see the full impact of its acquisitions and disposals.
Transactions with related parties are disclosed in note 17.

13 Derivative Financial Instrument
On 10 December 2013, the Company announced that it had entered into an equity
swap agreement ("the Equity Swap Agreement") with YAGM over 400,000,000 of the
Subscription Shares ("the Swap Shares"). In return for a payment by the Company
to YAGM of £400,000 ("the Initial Escrowed Funds"), twelve monthly settlement
payments in respect of such payment were to be made by YAGM to the Company, or
by the Company to YAGM, based on a formula related to the difference between
the prevailing market price (as defined in the Equity Swap Agreement) of the
Company's ordinary shares in any month and a 'benchmark price' that is 10%
above the Subscription Price. Thus the funds received by the Company in respect
of the Swap Shares are dependent on the future price performance of the
Company's ordinary shares.
The Initial Escrowed Funds was deposited into an escrow account ("the Escrow
Account") and the subsequent monthly settlement payments will be managed
through the Escrow Account under the terms of the Equity Swap Agreement.
YAGM may elect to terminate the Equity Swap Agreement and accelerate the
payments due under it in certain circumstances. The Company may pause a monthly
payment under the Equity Swap Agreement once in each six month period.
YAGM has agreed that it and its affiliates will refrain from holding any net
short position in respect of the Company's ordinary shares and has agreed
restrictions on the volume of ordinary shares in the Company that it can trade
from time to time until the expiry or if earlier termination of the Equity Swap
Agreement.
By 31 December 2013 nil shares had been closed out for net proceeds of £nil.
The remaining balance has been fair valued at 31 December 2013, which has not
resulted in any fair value adjustment based on the benchmark price and formula
of the arrangement, with any unrealised gain credited to reserve and
highlighted in other comprehensive income.

On 12 April 2013 the Company paid a dividend of 0.02p (2012: 0.03p per share),

Capital Management
The group's capital comprises the ordinary shares 0.001p (2012: 0.001p) each,
as shown above.
The group's objectives when maintaining capital are:
* to safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that
it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other
stakeholders, and
* to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and
services commensurately with the level of risk.
The group sets the amount of capital it requires in proportion to risk. The
group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of
changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying
assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may
adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to
shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.
Warrants in issue
As at 1 January 2013, shareholders had the option of up to 4,500,000,000
subscription warrants for each subscription share, exercisable at 0.002p per
ordinary share. The warrants were only exercisable if the Company (and its
wholly owned subsidiaries) met certain performance criteria over the three
financial years ending 31 December 2013. The Company would also have had to
declared, made and paid dividends of at least £250,000 to all shareholders
before the warrants could be exercised. The warrants may only be exercised
together as a whole and not in part. However, 3,870,000,000 of the warrant
shares were waived in recognition of a reduced ongoing recurring income stream,
and on 15 March 2013, 630,000,000 of the 4,500,000,000 subscription warrants
were therefore exercised.
On 4 October 2013 subscribers to the share issue were awarded one warrant per
share at an exercise price of 0.04 pence, resulting in the issue of 500,000,000
warrants. All of these warrants expire on 30 September 2014. All of these
warrants remain outstanding and exercisable at 31 December 2013.
Share Options
The Company has as at 31 December 2013, 140,000,000 (2012: nil) share options
issued through its share schemes, all issued during the year. (2012: nil)

A modified Black-Scholes model has been used to determine the fair value of the
share options on the date of grant. The fair value is expensed to the income
statement on a straight line basis over the vesting period, which is determined
annually. The model assesses a number of factors in calculating the fair value.
These include the market price on the date of grant, the exercise price of the
share options, the expected share price volatility of the Company's share
price, the expected life of the options, the risk free rate of interest and the
expected level of dividends in future periods.
The inputs into the model for the 15 November 2013 issue were as follows:

18 Financial instruments
Financial risk management
The Board of Directors sets the treasury policies and objectives of the group,
which includes controls over the procedures used to manage financial market
risks.
It is, and has been throughput the period under review, the group's policy that
no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. The main risks arising
from the group's financial instruments are:
* interest rate risk;
* liquidity risk;
* credit risk.
Interest rate risk
The group borrows only in sterling at both fixed and floating rates of
interest. At the year end, all borrowings were at variable rates.
Liquidity risk
The group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding
and flexibility through the use of bank loans and overdrafts as well as funding
from its largest shareholder.
Credit risk
The group has no significant concentration of credit risk. The main operating
subsidiary has strict verification procedures in place prior to credit being
advanced to customers and there are systems in place to ensure that there is a
regular monitoring of each customer's credit levels.
The Board agrees and reviews policies and financial instruments for risk
management. The primary objectives of the treasury function are to provide
competitively priced funding for the activities of the group and to identify
and manage financial risk.

The group and the Company are exposed through its operations to one or more of
the following financial risks:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the group's management of working capital and the
finance charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the
risk that the group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial
obligations as they fall due.
Short term liquidity risk is managed by preparing forecasts together with
obtaining and reviewing the adequacy of banking facilities. There is currently
no long term liquidity risk.
Market operational and pricing risks
The group operates only in the United Kingdom. The group's only revenues are
derived from fee and commission income chargeable to customers. The level of
fees and commission is entirely dependent upon the level of activity in the
traded endowment policy market.
Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that the Company would incur if the
counterparty failed to perform its contractual obligations. The group is
exposed to credit risk in respect of fees and commission income chargeable to
companies with whom it had a contractual relationship and interest receivable
from its investments. Credit risk is mitigated through regular credit review of
counterparties. As these counterparties are regulated by the Financial Conduct
Authority, the credit reviews allow for the fact that they are subject to the
regulatory capital requirements.
The group's maximum exposure to credit risk is £50,000 plus VAT, on the net
quarterly licence fee agreement, and £400,000 in respect of the equity swap
arrangement with YAGM, a shareholder of the company. No collateral is held as
security. The credit qualities of financial assets that are neither past nor
impaired are considered to be good, as they are primarily trade receivables
from FSA regulated businesses and cash held with the Bank of Scotland. There
are no financial assets which are past due or impaired.
Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks
and financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only
independently rated parties with minimum rating "AA" are accepted.
Cash flow interest rate risk
The Group has minimal risk towards interest rate changes, other than those
effects on interest being received on cash held in the Group's bank accounts.
Currency risk
The group is not directly exposed to currency risk as its assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenditure are denominated in Sterling.
