Our business
Artificial Labs Ltd
(Artificial) provides a white-labelled software platform that facilitates the distribution, negotiation and binding of complex insurance contracts. As well as the core platform we have complimentary tools that make this process as frictionless as possible including the ingestion and analysis of unstructured risk data, enrichment of this information and pricing of risk more profitably. Our core platform is predominantly charged for on a transactional basis as a percentage of the insurers premium processed through the platform. In 2019 we have focused predominantly on targeting large insurance companies with enterprise scale implementations. Having secured Chaucer Plc as a major client in 2019, in addition to existing clients Aon and Axis, we have begun 2020 in the same vain and are in a strong position to significantly grow again through 2020.
Market & Problem
The insurance sector continues to suffer with poor customer and staff user experiences, frequently impacted by poor technology solutions that can't deliver the kind of easy to use system that would be expected in the current day and age. There are long innovation and development timelines, with incumbent insurers and technology providers challenged with dealing and handling business as usual. The industry continues to accommodate broken data pipelines with offline and manual processes, impacting the industry's ability to modernise and facilitate a faster pace of change. Few, if any, systems easily integrate multiple sides of insurance broker/risk carrier relationship, paper currently the norm.
Artificial is working hard to deliver a platform that resolves these challenges and ensure that both insurers and their customers can experience modern, advanced and innovative technology that helps rather than hinders the provision and purchase of insurance.
The addressable market size is significant, with Lloyd's of London processing over $91Bn in premium per year.
Artificial's Solutions & Products
Artificial allow insurers to quickly accomplish the following:
1. Provide delightful user experiences to their customers and staff through white-labelled platforms; increasing customer satisfaction, loyalty, retention and data quality.
2. Capture and process data in a fully digital manner throughout the data pipeline; improving pricing accuracy and profitability.
3. Take new insurance products to market in a matter of days, not months, with no up-front costs; decreasing the cost of change significantly.
4. Leverage the newly captured, accurate and real-time data, to improve their pricing accuracy of risk to be more profitable.
Team
As a business we comprise a team of 30 expert engineers, data scientists and designers. Located in London, Warsaw and remote working friendly.
Our director group have executed in excess of £1Bn of transactions through various exits and IPOs. Additionally, we have a highly experienced executive team with significant insurance and technical IT skills. Our Machine Learning department are highly skilled with multiple PHDs and our Business Analyst team have multiple decades worth of deep insurance exposure between them. The team has
been built over a five year period - all with prior experience of delivering highly polished and data driven platforms for blue chip companies.
Traction
2019 has been a year of excellent growth with like for like sales increasing by 108%. We have secured and are live with a number of clients that support these numbers with our main client being Aon, one of the world's preeminent insurance brokers. We successfully contracted with Chaucer Plc, a prominent London Market Insurance company who intend to process c.£300m of written premium through the platform which is a huge win for the firm. The first transactions will begin in April 2020. We have focused late 2019 on securing another enterprise wide sale to a global insurance firm and we are in a strong position to secure this relationship in 2020. In addition, through our relationship with Capita, we have a significant number of further opportunities to further grow these numbers rapidly.
Investment Funding
Two new investors, Alma Mundi and Force Over Mass, have joined our existing investors and in early 2019 we completed this investment round bringing our total cash investment raised to date up to £4.17m from our principal cash investors. In addition to attracting these additional investors we have brought in Capita Plc to our shareholder group, as part of this same investment round, through a services based subscription. Capita will be providing scale up services to Artificial including sales support, client access, resource and office space. In late 2019 we raised an additional £1.05m through our existing investors in the form of convertible loan notes.
We have begun investigating further capital raising to support the new clients won in 2019 and early 2020.

Notes to the Financial Statements
|
|
Year ended 31 December 2019
1.
General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Bourne House, 475 Godstone Road, Whyteleafe, Surrey, CR3 0BL.
2.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Consolidation
The entity has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the entity and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Revenue recognition
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of services is recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.
Income tax
The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in associates
Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income/profit or loss. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.
Investments in joint ventures
Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income/profit or loss. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in profit or loss unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period it arises.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
