Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue. In coming to this conclusion the directors have considered the financial position and forecasts, along with the current and required levels of liquidity to meet the Company's ongoing regulatory requirements and to ensure its ongoing solvency following the transfer of its business to a Stonex affiliate in January 2026. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
