IPSO VENTURES PLC ("IPSO" or "the Company")
Disposal
The Company announces that it has today completed the disposal of its wholly owned subsidiary IPSO Capital Limited ("IPSO Capital") for a total cash consideration of £23,000 to three individual investors including Graeme Stephen, a director of IPSO Capital ("the Disposal"). After payment of certain inter-company balances and expenses relating to the Disposal, the net proceeds accruing to the Company will amount to approximately £8,000 which will be applied towards part payment of certain of IPSO's creditors.
IPSO Capital is an FSA Authorised business. In the year ended 30 April 2012, IPSO Capital reported profits before taxation of approximately £5,000 which arose as a result of the release of a previous provision. At completion, IPSO Capital had net assets of approximately £11,500.
The IPSO board continues to examine several methods of bringing capital into the Company to enable the settlement of its creditor obligations, including the sale or partial sale of its underlying portfolio assets and raising new equity, loan or convertible finance. The Company is in regular contact with its major creditors and is grateful for their continued support. The IPSO board has also received a number of proposals over the last few days which it is now considering.
The IPSO board is hopeful that further positive announcements regarding its financial position will be made in the coming weeks.
