Abridged Chairman's Statement

Trading

Full year revenues were GBP4.28m (2018: GBP4.38m) which is slightly below the prior year.

After a very difficult first half, commission revenues picked up in the second half of the year. Overall, commission income was only 15% lower, at GBP2.08m for the year, as markets recovered quickly in January from the weakness that prevailed in the fourth quarter of 2018. The prevailing sentiment in markets improved generally in the first quarter of 2019 which was beneficial to client portfolio valuations and general trading activity.

Meanwhile, investment management fees rose 21% over the year to GBP2.21m (2018: GBP1.83m). This improvement is in part due to consolidating a full year of fee income from Fieldings but also a continuation in the general trend within the business to migrate clients to our discretionary and advisory managed fee based services.

As a result of the softer commissions and stronger management fee revenues the balance has swung in favour of management fees for the first time. Management fees represented 52% of commission and fee revenues with commissions representing 48%.

Asset Management

In May 2019 our unit trust, Ocean UK Equity, passed its first anniversary. We are pleased to report a successful first year with the fund in the top quartile in each of the last three, six and twelve month periods. It was also ahead of its benchmark the CBOE UK All Companies Total Return Index over the period. As at the end of June 2019 the fund was valued at GBP5.8m.

Investment Managers

Towards the end of the year we welcomed two new investment managers to the firm. We believe that with our traditional values, modern systems and up to date regulatory framework we provide an attractive place to work for aspiring, independently minded private client investment managers.

Costs & Outturn

Operating expenses have risen by GBP1.02m to GBP5.04m in the year to 31 May 2019 (2018: GBP4.02m) an increase of 25.3%.

Part of this increase in expenses is a result of charging non-recurring items amounting to GBP335k which includes GBP217k for deferred consideration bonuses payable as part of the Fieldings acquisition. In addition it continues to be our policy to amortise the value of the client relationships acquired with the Fieldings business, resulting in a further charge of GBP131k. These items total GBP466k.

Apart from these items, costs have increased due to compliance with various regulatory requirements and investment in strengthening our systems and controls.

After reporting a pre-tax loss of GBP492k in H1, we have incurred a much reduced loss of GBP150k in the second half to result in a full year loss of GBP642k. This overall result was exacerbated by our being without the usual dividend (of some GBP100k) from Euroclear due to timing changes as elaborated below.

Euroclear

Euroclear completed a re-domiciliation exercise in 2018/19 moving its headquarters from Switzerland to Belgium. This benefits the majority of shareholders such as Fiske plc as now our holding will qualify as a strategic asset under Belgian asset holding regulations and thus dividends paid will not be subject to withholding tax. However due to the particular timing of the re-domiciliation Euroclear have not paid a dividend during our year to 31 May 2019 (2018: GBP103k).

In January 2019 the London Stock Exchange Group made a strategic acquisition of some 4.9% of Euroclear at a price of EUR1,798 per share. In light of this purchase and the appointment of Goldman Sachs earlier this year to review how to improve the liquidity of shares in Euroclear we arrived at a fair value of our holding as EUR1,798 per share. This has resulted in our carrying value rising by 132% to EUR6.51m which is GBP5.81m at the prevailing exchange rate of GBP1: EUR1.12.

Net assets

Shareholder's funds have increased by 38% in the year to GBP7.6m reflecting the increase in the fair value of our holding in Euroclear. Within this we continue to hold some GBP2.1m of cash.

Strategy

Following the successful acquisition of Fieldings and the addition of a growing number of new investment managers we continue to implement our ongoing strategy to welcome new investment managers with established client relationships to increase our assets under management and advice. In addition we are actively migrating our customers to fee focussed rather than commission based relationships.

Dividend

The Board has resolved not to pay a dividend for the year to 31 May 2019 (2018: GBPnil).

Regulation

As referred to in the interim statement, significant time and effort has been and continues to be devoted across the company to compliance with new regulations. This has focussed in particular on the costs and charges element of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II ('MiFID II'). We continue to upgrade our systems and invest time in training our staff members. These software and training related costs, which have been absorbed by the business are a recurring feature. In the new financial year we will be implementing the new Senior Managers & Certification Regime.

Staff

In the last four years we have successfully migrated the business onto a new integrated front & back office software system, acquired and integrated the Fieldings business, brought new investment managers and their clients onto our platform and managed the implementation of a constant flow of regulatory changes. In this light I would like to extend my thanks to all my fellow Directors, Investment Managers, Associates and members of the operations team for their hard work and commitment to the future success of the Company.

Markets

In the long bull-run that markets are enjoying the unusual feature of this year is that bonds as well as equities are reaching new highs. A more common feature is this is all happening at a time of market complacency towards the disturbing features in the worldwide macro-economic landscape. The realignment of the US/China trade relations, well overdue but never confronted until now, is the most prominent feature.

Though perhaps even more serious a problem in the background is the astonishing levels of debt that have been built up and continue to increase at both the corporate level and the emerging market government level. The EU is bordering on recession, the UK has Brexit to contend with, whilst the US is experiencing the end of the stimulus of the major corporate tax reductions that the Trump administration introduced. Added to which most emerging markets have borrowed in dollars and are now facing the problems of a currency mismatch.

All the signs suggest we are in the last stages of one of the greatest bull markets in modern times. Whilst we should of course be concerned we must also remember that often the final phase of the bull market gives investors their best gains. It is expensive and painful to miss out on the final exuberance of a bull market. To add to concerns, one of the best signs that we may be in the final phase is the recent resurgence in the gold price. This traditional safe haven usually comes to life when problems are serious. It has now reached a six-year high and shows signs of gathering momentum.

For investors the danger month is traditionally October. Last year we had a rehearsal, maybe this year we will have the real thing. Long-term investors should take advantage of the liquidity-driven surges in asset prices to bolster holdings in investments that are less correlated to equity markets. In particular cash positions not only reduce overall risk but provide dry powder with which to take advantage of dislocations that tend to damage markets in an indiscriminate fashion.

Outlook

The new financial year has begun with business levels in line with the more positive second half of the year just reported. Your board is striving for a very much more positive outturn in the current year.

Notes to the Accounts

For the year ended 31 May 2019

   1              Basis of preparation 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IFRS implemented by the Group for the year ended 31 May 2019 as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee and with the Companies Act 2006. The Group financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of financial instruments, which are stated in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement.

   2              Total revenue and segmental analysis 

IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by management to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. Following the acquisition of Fieldings Investment Management Limited in August 2017, their staff and operations have been integrated into the management team of Fiske plc. Pursuant to this, the Group continues to identify a single reportable segment, being UK-based financial intermediation. Within this single reportable segment, total revenue comprises:

Factors affecting the tax charge for the year

The standard rate of tax for the year, based on the United Kingdom standard rate of corporation tax, is 19.00% (2018: 19.00%).

The charge/(credit) for the year can be reconciled to the profit per the Statement of Comprehensive Income as follows:

 
                                                        2019     2018

   4              Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share has been calculated by dividing the profit on ordinary activities after taxation by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share is basic earnings per share adjusted for the effect of conversion into fully paid shares of the weighted average number of share options during the year.

Goodwill arising through business combinations is allocated to individual cash-generating units ('CGUs') being acquired subsidiaries, reflecting the lowest level at which the Group monitors and test goodwill for impairment purposes. The CGUs to which goodwill is attributed are as follows:

 
 CGU                                2019       2018

-----------------------------  ---------  --------- 
 Goodwill allocated to CGUs          395        395 
-----------------------------  ---------  --------- 
 

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of each CGU. The recoverable amount is the higher of its value in use ('VIU') or its fair value less cost of disposal ('FVLCD').

As at 31 May 2019 none of the Group's CGUs are impaired with the recoverable amount for each CGU having been based on its FVLCD. The fair value has been calculated as 2.5 % of assets under management.

Under the above valuation approach each CGU had a FVLCD in excess of its carrying value by GBP19k at Vor (2018: GBP62k) and GBP48k at Ionian (2018: GBP53k).

A 17% reduction in funds under management for Ionian from GBP11.1m to GBP9.2m would result in a potential impairment trigger. Vor is less sensitive to such an impairment trigger requiring a fall of 11% of funds under management from GBP7.4m to GBP6.6m.

If fair value was calculated using 2.1% as opposed to 2.5% of funds under management for Ionian then, all other things being equal, there would be a potential impairment trigger. Vor would require a decrease to 1.8% of funds under management to trigger a potential impairment.
