ORDINARY SHARES OF 15P EACH, FULLY PAID (BMTS9H8) (GB00BMTS9H89)

24 June 2015
Quindell Plc
("Quindell" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Statement re. temporary suspension and update


Further to the announcement on 29 May 2015 in respect of the completion of the disposal of the Group's Professional Services Division ("PSD") and confirmation that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's ("PwC") review of, inter alia, certain Group accounting policies was complete, the Company has been progressing its own review and the audit of the Group's 2014 financial statements. The Company also confirmed that it had identified that certain of the accounting policies historically adopted by the Company, in respect of recognising revenue and deferring case acquisition costs in a number of the Group's disposed of businesses, were largely acceptable but were at the aggressive end of acceptable practice. PwC also identified that certain policies were not appropriate, principally those relating to the noise induced hearing loss cases revenue and related balances that became significant during 2014.

As the PSD will be treated as a "discontinued operation" in the 2014 financial statements (and subsequent periods), the changes to the Group's accounting policies are largely of historical interest only. Nevertheless, the changes will be to adopt a more conservative and appropriate approach to the recognition of revenues and profits in the PSD. The impact of these changes will materially impact previously reported results for the year ended 31 December 2013 and the six months ended 30 June 2014.

The Board has also commenced a review, along with its auditors, of a number of the Company's historic transactions and acquisitions. This work is on-going but the Company expects that it will shortly be in a position to announce additional information in relation to these transactions and acquisitions with a view to ensuring that more complete information is available in respect of the historical position; to ensure that any related party transactions are fully disclosed; and make associated corrections. These matters are largely non-cash items and the Board will make clear the outcome of this work and will provide further information in the Company's report and accounts for FY 2014.

Pending finalisation of the audit of the Group's 2014 financial statements and quantification of the adjustments to be made and the subsequent publication of the 2014 audited financial statements, the Company has requested the temporary suspension of trading in its shares from AIM and expects trading to resume as soon as practicable and no later than publication of the Group's 2014 financial statements.

Separately, the Company also announces that on 23 June 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority informed the Company that it has commenced an investigation under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in relation to public statements made regarding the financial accounts of the Company during 2013 and 2014. The Company will co-operate fully with the investigation.

Warm weather produces hot heads for young Ontario drivers: ingenie report
2015-07-07

Not surprisingly, summer’s hot weather and construction delays contribute to young drivers getting hot under the collar, producing both frustration and bad behaviour directed at others, notes ingenie’s new Road Rage Report.

Issued Monday by ingenie, the report – based on an online survey conducted in for ingenie by Student Life Network and involving 604 interviews collected from Ontario students who are licensed drivers – notes that summer is the most infuriating driving season. The survey sought to identify what gives young drivers road rage and how they deal with it.

In all, 58% of surveyed young drivers report that they are frustrated by construction-related delays in the summer while only 18% are bothered by bad weather in the winter, notes a statement from ingenie, a telematics-based auto insurance provider for Ontario drivers aged 16 to 24.


Lorie Phair, CEO of ingenie Canada, advises that young drivers need to “keep a cool head, and don’t let outside influences take over. Instead, concentrate on what you can control, which is your own driving.”

Says Phair, “Cranky drivers can lead to conflict on the road. But, as a driver, your top priority needs to be safety.”

Respondents acknowledged that this was not always the case, with 37% of young drivers rating their level of road rage to be medium to high. Those taking in the survey admit that they have taken frustration out on other drivers with behaviour, including the following:

• beeping at other drivers (51%);

• flashing their lights at other drivers (29%);

• making offensive hand gestures at other drivers (14%); and

• on the more extreme end, 5% admit they have used their car to intimidate other drivers.

Respondents report also seeing plenty of annoying behaviour – behaviour that could potentially be dangerous – as well:

• being rude on the road (81%);

• using their phones (77%);

• tailgating (74%);

• failing to signal (73%); and

• braking suddenly (70%).

Whatever young drivers are seeing, however, Phair emphasizes the need to keep a cool head and remain focused.

“As a driver, you are responsible for controlling your own vehicle. It's an important duty that requires your complete attention,” she says. “While you may become annoyed by other drivers’ bad habits, it’s not your responsibility to reprimand them. Don’t get emotional, just focus on the task at hand – arriving at your destination safely.”

Drivers can do things to avoid frustration and potential conflicts on the road. Included on the list are planning the route in advance, being considerate to other drivers, getting a good night’s sleep and not driving while in a bad mood.

Quindell slides as SFO starts probe
Jonathan Jones
10:32 06 Aug 2015



Shares in Quindell (LON:QPP) slumped as trading resumed today after it announced that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has opened an investigation in the company.

The insurance claims outsourcer said it believed the probe related to past business and accounting practices at the company.

The news comes as accountancy watchdog the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) closed its review of Quindell’s 2011 and 2012 report and accounts in light of the “positive actions taken by the directors in correcting the identified errors, amending accounting policies and providing their undertakings,” the company said.

The FRC is still investigating its accounts for 2013 and 2014.

Shares resumed trading for the first time in over a month today having been suspended since June and fell 29% to 87.7p.

Yesterday, the troubled firm reported losses of £238mln for 2014 (£8.6mln in 2013) as administrative expenses soared to £278mln including an impairment charge of £157mln.

Richard Rose, chairman, said: “Investor trust in the company and its board was eroded and it became clear that decisive action was necessary to bring stability back to Quindell and rebuild the confidence of employees, investors, regulators, customers and suppliers alike.

“A great deal has been done in a short space of time to turn the tide, and I am confident in the company's long-term future and the potential of our businesses.”

Quindell chairman Richard Rose launches extraordinary attack on ousted predecessor Rob Terry
By Peter Campbell for the Daily Mail
Published: 21:56, 2 September 2015 | Updated: 22:02, 2 September 2015

The chairman of Quindell yesterday launched an extraordinary attack on ousted predecessor Rob Terry, saying that the company’s reputation would have been ‘shot to pieces’ if it had kept him on a moment longer.

Richard Rose told the technology company’s annual gathering of shareholders that Terry’s departure at the end of last year was welcomed by ‘the majority’ of investors.

When asked by retail shareholder Steven Little why the company had not retained Terry to help with its investigation into past accounting practices, Rose said: ‘I would suspect that the credibility would have been shot to pieces if we had retained the former chief executive to be honest.’

03A9BA850000044D-3219971-image-m-26_1441

He added Terry had been ‘unhelpful’ when trying to dig out information into past deals.

When asked why Terry was not paid to stay on and help with the probe, Rose said: ‘He was paid quite adequately and I think that the majority of shareholders would form the view that he was paid too generously and retained for too long, but that’s a matter of opinion.’

Terry, who made £16m selling his shares, received £1.5m in redundancy pay and saw £406,000 paid to close family members including his wife.

He also benefited from a number of opaque deals including an interest free £100,000 loan and a barn conversion. Rose’s uncharacteristically unguarded remarks came as he announced the company would ditch its tainted name before Christmas in a bid to draw a line under a turbulent past.

There is currently a shortlist of new names, though ‘none begin with Q’, he said after the meeting.

Though listed on London’s junior AIM stock market, Quindell once had a value of almost £3bn and boasted scores of retail investors – many of whom saw their investments hammered when shares collapsed amid a string of scandals.

Earlier this year the company sold the bulk of its operations – processing legal claims – to Australian law firm Slater & Gordon for £664m, leaving a clutch of smaller divisions focused on black box technology for cars.

It currently faces a Serious Fraud Office investigation after writing down millions from past deals and admitting it has not turned a profit for years.

The annual meeting saw shareholders divided over the company’s past and future.

One, who did not give his name, accused the board of ‘selling off the family silver’ by offloading the legal arm – but many others backed the move.

Several asked for assurances that the 100p payout from the Slater sale would be unimpeded by the SFO probe.

Incoming chief executive Indro Mukerjee was not present because he was at a conference in the US. Speaking after the meeting, Rose recounted the only time he met Terry.

‘I met him once back in September and he told me to F-off.’

The pair had coffee when one of Quindell’s largest shareholders was trying to replace Terry with Rose as chairman.

Rose said the meeting, which lasted ‘about an hour’, began genially but ended with Terry’s curt remark.

Less than a month later, it emerged Terry and two other executives had entered into a deal to sell shares – despite Terry sitting on the price sensitive information that the company’s joint broker had quit.

Terry was fired in early November.

General interest:



Posted on September 3, 2015

This is a Private Investors report about the AGM held on the 2nd September 2015.

Qundell Shrugs off the past.

Quindell has turned over a new leaf. It was revealed that it is to drop its old Quindell leaf logo and company name before the end of this year. Richard Rose stated that the company was even dumping litigation claims against Gotham City Research and has completely severed his connections with the previous directors.

Clearly the company has a strong desire to leave the past behind and move on.

Quindell can no longer be regarded as made from “The Golf Club built on sand” to quote short seller Daniel Yu, who wrongly stated it was worth nothing. It may now be viewed by investors as one of the few cash rich Technology companies with no debt and is standing not on “sand” but on a half-billion pounds pile of cash sitting ready to line shareholders pockets.

The half a billion left after the sale of its legal services division is due to be returned to shareholders following formal legal approval and shortly after its H1 results. The board has been keen to show commitment to shareholders in an unprecedented move. All shareholders are likely to get back more than the current value of the stock. A further payment of at least £50,000,000 as part of the deal will be paid later.

Yesterdays AGM confirmed that there is overwhelming confidence in the new leadership. Private Investors unanimously voted for all the boards’ resolution enabling them to buy large tranches of its own stock at rock bottom prices, potentially forcing up its stock value. Its new CEO, the successful global business leader Indro Mukerjee will shortly divulge his strategy for the company. If his previous successes are anything to go by, it is going to be exceptional and he has the spare cash to do it.

Richard Rose intimated to the press that the accusations of wrongdoing are historical and nothing to do with the new company. Investigations are not likely to have any lasting effect on the company as the SFO seems to only be looking at actions of past individuals. Although the company is aware of potential litigation due to historic issues, nothing as yet has been received by Quindell from lawyers to suggest any action will be taken.

The company has delivered quality services even though the media and negative press fuelled largely by rumours spread by activist short sellers directly targeted the company. The previous directors were unable to keep control during this period and were eventually forced out by shareholders. Recovery has been positive thanks to Richard Rose and team, 1700+ staff and over 1000 loyal investors whose support prevented the company from failing.
