Municipal Bankruptcy Fears Drive INSCOR's Growth
BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwired - Nov 14, 2013) - Goldman
Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm focused on the
small cap and micro-cap sectors, notes that the town of Desert Hot
Springs, California is on the verge of a bankruptcy filing after a
new finance director discovered a $3 million shortfall in its
budget of $13.5 million. This is not music to the ears of its
citizens or its creditors but it is a story not unfamiliar to the
senior management of INSCOR, Inc. (OTC Pink: IOGA).
As is the case with municipalities such as Detroit, San
Bernardino, Stockton, and many others, unmanageable and
unreasonable pension costs/obligations are the culprits.
Nationwide, these unfunded retiree health care and Other
Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) figures total an estimated $1.5
trillion in unfunded liabilities.
While it may be too late for most of these other cities to
utilize the INSCOR initiatives, a number of cities and towns that
are on the edge of their own financial issues have finally become
proactive and are seeking alternatives such as the INSCOR program
in order to stave off a fiscal crisis.
Cities that still have an opportunity to stem the OPEB bleeding
in its tracks can engage in the solution used by Fortune 500
companies and offered by INSCOR that is tailored toward the 67,000
governmental and agency markets in the U.S. The INSCOR "FIT"
(Financed Insurance Trust) combines the procurement of
specifically-designed life insurance on active employees using
funds borrowed from the financial sector, or bond issuance, and
secured by the insurance policies themselves. This method generates
substantial cash flow to fund these OPEB liabilities at reduced
costs to the municipalities.
As a result, a FIT OPEB plan can provide a cash stream to
support each year's OPEB obligations, and fund future OPEB
liabilities with fewer spending increases, tax increases, or
reduction in benefits. Plus, with interest rates at historical
lows, some municipalities can benefit from very low initial
costs.
With few options, let alone low-cost alternatives to the problem
available, INSCOR appears poised to leverage the current panic and
effect real change in government financial management, thus
generating significant revenue for itself. In fact, investors may
begin to see the fruit of the Company's marketing efforts in this
segment via new contracts, beginning early next year. Clearly, new
business would have a significant and positive impact on these
shares. In anticipation of these wins, and with the backdrop of
additional municipal fiscal crisis stories, we expect investors
will bid these shares up ahead of potentially favorable news.
