AssetCo plc, the International Fire and Rescue Services business, is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of its asset realisation programme.

On 23 December 2010, Supply 999 Limited, Todd Research Limited and AS Fire & Rescue Equipment Limited were sold for GBP5.25m to Spring Ventures Limited for GBP4,25 cash and GBP1m cash deferred until 31 March 2011 based on turnover and profitability levels.

The three businesses had a profit before tax of GBP0.3m for the six months ended 30 September 2010 and were included in the Group balance sheet with a net book value of GBP4.25m, creating an approximate profit of GBP1m if the deferred consideration is received.

The sale proceeds will be used to restructure the Company balance sheet.

Together with the sale of Treka Bus Limited on 29 October 2010 being sold for GBP1.0m, this brings to a successful conclusion the Company's asset realisation programme.
