BOCA RATON, Fla., May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Imperial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: IFT) ("Imperial" or the "Company") announced today its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Total income from continuing operations was $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a total income from continuing operations of $13.6 million for the same period in 2014. Total expenses were $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in expenses was primarily due to a $3.5 million increase in interest expense, approximately $2.8 million of this amount is related to the Company's Senior Secured Notes, and a $1.2 million increase in professional fees. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's revolving credit facility debt was $3 million higher than for the same period in 2014.

The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or ($.19) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or ($0.16) per diluted share, for the same period in 2014.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $39.6 million. The Company's book value at March 31, 2015 was $9.86 per share. As of May 6, 2015, the Company had 21,402,990 shares outstanding.

Life Settlements Portfolio Highlights

At March 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of the Company's 632 life insurance policies was $429.6 million compared to $388.9 million for 607 life insurance policies at December 31, 2014. The weighted average discount rate was 17.31% at March 31, 2015 compared to 17.77% at December 31, 2014. The aggregate face value of the Company's portfolio of life insurance policies was approximately $3.0 billion at March 31, 2015. During the first quarter, the Company experienced 5 maturities totaling $13.2 million, including one maturity for $741,000 which was acquired during the first quarter and not pledged as collateral under the revolving credit facility. Additionally, since the quarter end, the Company has experienced an additional maturity with a face value of $3.1 million.

Antony Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of Imperial, commented: "This quarter we acquired 30 policies which were not pledged to our revolving credit facility. Together, with policy acquisitions made in the fourth quarter, we have shaped a portfolio that now should provide greater short term cash flows. This portfolio has now reached $115 million in fair value -- more than double its value just two quarters ago. This significantly larger and more diversified portfolio has also allowed us to begin actively working towards long-term, lower cost financing."
