Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Revenue decreased year on year, principally due to a reduction in advisory fee income to £96k (2024: £137k).”
- “Net unrealised currency gains of approximately £10k during the year (2024: net unrealised loss of £19k).”
- “The outlook for the Company remains positive. The investment strategies advised by the Company have delivered consistent performance over the past three years, underpinning confidence in the underlying advisory model and the Company's ability to maintain and grow its fee-generating mandates.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
