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 & accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- Buzzacott Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company and the Group has sufficient financial resources to cover ongoing liabilities and therefore the directors are of the opinion that the going concern basis should be adopted in the preparation of the financial statements. Management have performed an analysis of the future performance of the Company and the Group and expect they will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities for the next 12 months. This is based on the Group having sufficient future revenues in place through contracts with the funds it manages, and investment banking contracts to cover the non-discretionary costs of the Group for the foreseeable future. The largest expenditure for the Group is represented by employees' cost which can be controlled in the medium term through hiring and attrition. Management have also stress tested this scenario by flexing these revenues down from projected levels and still expects the Company and the Group to be able to meet its obligations as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events
- “In 2024 revenues from Asset Management posted a robust increase while assets under management exceeded 1bn USD. During the year, the Group took over the fund management and advisory role for additional existing funds from a European financial institution; these transactions enabled the Group to expand into lending to the agricultural sector and to further solidify its position in the renewable energy sector.”
