FORBED COMPANIES
(“Forbes” or the “Company”)
Audited results for the year ended December 31, 2020
Strategic report
The directors present the strategic report for the financial year ended December 31, 2020.
Company balance sheet
Business strategy and objectives
Forbes Ventures is a company that focuses on the financial and legal sectors with particular reference to innovative technologies and financing solutions that improve service, scalability and efficiency.
Business environment and performance
The company continued to explore the potential of the investment market, developing fund management capabilities. Uncertainties caused by Brexit and related issues have limited the company’s ability to secure sufficient funding, but the company has expanded its interests to include the development of a securitization platform to be used across a range of financial assets, and the first tranche of this activity should be listed and complete after the balance sheet is signed, and has been reported as a post-closing event (see note 21). Investing in the future of the company resulted in a financial loss of $ 297,426 for the year but was justified by the progress of the securitization platform, and we continue to be well supported by our majority shareholder, CC Capital Limited (formerly MEGH UK Ltd).
Post-assessment activities
As mentioned above, Forbes Ventures announced that it is developing a securitization platform in its wholly owned subsidiary Forbes Ventures Investment Management Limited (“FVIM”). The first tranche of this activity is expected to be identified and completed after the closing date and after approval of the accounts by the Board. The impact of this transaction makes it a post-closing event – an element that fundamentally changes the interpretation of the accounts. Details of the transaction are provided in Note 21 to the appendix.
I would like to thank my fellow directors, past and present, for their hard work in bringing this securitization platform to fruition, as well as our shareholders for their patience as we carefully determine this future direction. Given the uncertainties that global markets face due to the COVID-19 outbreak, this platform will create a sustainable and secure revenue stream for the Company, regardless of continued global volatility in markets or an environment. persistently low interest rates.
In addition to securitizations, which should provide a solid cash base, the Company continues to work on other complementary projects to diversify our business lines and take advantage of current market upheavals and will update the market as they arise. commissioning.
On behalf of the board
Mr. P Moss
Director

Note 21
Post-balance sheet event
The company and its subsidiaries have been studying for some time how to finance law firm litigation through listed securitization issues. In 2020, the firm established working relationships with a number of counterparties who worked collaboratively to develop a platform that law firms could use to generate funding.
By the end of the year, Forbes Ventures and its affiliates had established themselves as a potential key part of the process, which would involve buying receivables through 100% owned securitization firms and selling them to an issuer. as a support for bonds listed on the Maltese stock exchange. . At year’s end, the cabinet had not signed any documents supporting the relationship, but negotiations were at an advanced stage.
The income of the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries will be a commission based on the size of the bond issued and the specific details of the agreed trading terms. Since the balance sheet date, Forbes Ventures has worked on the listing and closing of the first £ 40million bond which will achieve gross income of £ 800,000 (before fees and taxes).,. The company plans to issue a second tranche of securitization transactions totaling £ 60million. The projected gross income from this tranche will be £ 1.2 million (before costs and taxes). Profits from the two tranches will be divided between the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
