Good plan...although in the long term, 1-2 yrs, the sp should increase significantly as company directore/employess have bought in at much higher levels and shareholders will be looking for a return on it's investment... might also see a div payout in a couple of years time... (IMHO)
overall, I'm quite bullish about the the long term prospects for this company and it's shareholders !
But... nothing ever goes according to plan, anything can happen so we'll see how it turns out!

Puzzling thing about this co is if you go on their web site red24 will cost you 80.00 to join whereas the co says it has 500000 members! Obviosley they are selling to Insurance Co's and Banks at a massive discount! Pity, as at 80.00 per member this would earn 40,000,00. I think the product should be offered to the public at large and perhaps an small increase in price would generate increased revenues all round and support the share price.

This from last weekend.... looks encouraging... surprised there hasn't been a follow thru impact on the sp... but it's bound to rise from here... might even top up at these levels as it must be due a re-rating... (imho)"
"The Independent on Saturday noted an upturn in the share price of Arc Risk Management (ARC.L) following increased turnover and lower losses, while Saturdays Express also reported a growing demand for its products. Nevertheless, the share price was unchanged at 0.63p during this mornings trading."

ARC Risk Management Group PLC
08 August 2006
ARC Risk Management Group plc
AGM Statement
Ahead of today's AGM, the Chairman made the following statement.
Since the financial year end, ARC Risk Management ('ARC' or the 'Group'), the
AIM-listed global security company, has made significant progress across the
range of the Group's activities being:
red24
red24 is the Group's core division which provides global security services. Its
aim is to be the world's leading international personal security risk management
provider and is working to achieve this through the following channels:
mandatory retail sales in the UK, international distribution agreements,
offering services to employees through corporate clients and, through working
with retail experts and affiliate partners, to offer individual retail sales.
We have continued to present our services in a modular approach to our UK-based
clients, which enables them to offer various levels of service to their
disparate customer groups, according to budget spend and value of those
respective customer groups. The past twelve months have also seen red24 position
itself in the general assistance market, working with partners to offer services
which complement our own expertise, including credit reference and concierge
services.
HSBC Bank plc, an existing client of red24, has included additional elements of
red24's services within its package of benefits to customers of its UK-based
Plus and Premier accounts. Both Plus and Premier account holders now receive the
benefits of identity fraud protection and personal security assistance.
The gap year market continues to be a key distribution area for red24's
services. World Nomads, the selected travel insurance partner of the Lonely
Planet Guides, has started actively marketing red24 as part of its services and
the Group anticipate further revenue growth from this source. Furthermore, ACE,
who have recently launched its ACE Traveller travel insurance policy
specifically targeted at the backpacker market, is including red24 membership as
an automatic part of their package.
On 27 July, ARC announced a five year, worldwide agreement with AIG IS to
distribute its red24 service in the travel market. We expect to incorporate the
red24 services into a substantial number of travel policies in the coming
months. Already, the product has gone live in a new market sector in Japan with
universities which are involved in sending students overseas. This will provide
Japanese students with the added security that the red24 service offers.
This contract adds AIG IS to ARC's growing list of international blue chip
clients, including five of the ten largest FTSE100 companies. Following this
agreement, ARC has also improved its client list in the insurance and banking
sector which now includes ACE, AIG, Citibank, HSBC, Hiscox and Zurich.
We continue to offer our services to corporate clients, providing protection and
assistance for employees travelling to destinations as diverse as Haiti, Sudan
and Lebanon. We expect to roll out these services to further clients in the
coming months.
Regarding the retail and affiliate arena, we will be launching an enhanced red24
website in September to support our work with affiliate partners. The number of
end users of our service continues to grow, largely as a result of client led
marketing. Building awareness of the red24 service through marketing activity
continues and we aim, in the coming months, to establish a partnership with an
experienced UK retailer to broaden our channels of distribution.
Since the beginning of 2005 red24 has increased its customer base more than
ten-fold, with over one million membership units are now in circulation.
Consultancy
Our consultants provide risk assessment and crisis planning both to a number of
corporate clients and also to insurance companies and their insured.
Since the year end, we have been retained as consultants for a major book of
special risk business in the United States which offers good prospects to
develop the consulting business.
Training
Our Training business is the leading provider of training courses in the field
of Security Risk Management to blue chip companies outside the United States.
The training business has enjoyed a much better start to the year than in 2005
and, in addition to our published programme of open courses, has conducted a
number of major training courses overseas for international clients. Our staff
are playing a leading role in the professional development of the industry,
placing the business in an excellent position for further growth in the next few
years.
Outlook
An intensive programme of product development and cost cutting throughout the
Group has improved productivity and, through the three operating divisions, the
Group has now established a sound platform for long term customer growth.
As already announced, ARC has granted options to its directors and staff. These
can only be exercised if the consolidated pre-tax profit for the year ending
31st March 2008 exceeds 2m. The directors see this as a sign of confidence
throughout the Group that it will achieve a significant increase in its profits
for the year ending 2008 and they view the future with optimism.
