LOANCHECK SA COMPLETES ITS SUCCESSFUL BRIDGE FINANCING ROUND.

LoanCheck SA today announced that it had successfully raised the full
round of bridge finance from ThomasLloyd Secured Finance Fund. This
capital will be used further to grow its litigation finance
subsidiary, Ascot Legal Services.

LoanCheck is the leading supplier of forensic information and audit
services for borrowers in the United Kingdom. Through its operating
subsidiary, Severn Administration Ltd, the company operates
'www.loancheck.co.uk'. At no initial cost, the website allows
borrowers to check whether they have been correctly charged fees and
interest on any mortgage or consumer loan. Should there be cause for
a claim, the company then offers a range of services to help
consumers seek redress.

In late 2008, the company extended its business model into the
provision of litigation finance, in order to help less fortunate
claimants secure pre-financing of their legal costs. The company
believes that in the current economic climate, this is a key
service. As Tim Hadley, CEO of LoanCheck SA says, 'We aim to make
justice affordable for everyone.'

This new round of finance will enable Ascot Legal Services to
increase its funding to solicitors, who take up these cases of
mis-sold and mis-priced consumer loans and mortgages. Says Michael
Sieg of the ThomasLloyd Secured Finance Fund, 'We were very excited
when first introduced to LoanCheck. It offers a very important
social service to many people, at their time of greatest
vulnerability and greatest need.'
