Abridged Chairman's Statement
Trading
Full year revenues rose by 17% to GBP5.4m (2019: GBP4.6m). After reporting a pre-tax loss of GBP158,000 in the first half-year, we have made a profit of GBP31,000 in the second half which has resulted in a full year pre-tax loss of GBP127,000 (2019: loss GBP381,000).
On the face of it, the Covid-19 lockdown has not had much of an impact on our business. After an increase in revenues in the first half, they continued to grow in the second half of the year. This was assisted by strong commission revenue during a period of market volatility in the last quarter of our year, which coincided with the start of the Covid-19 lockdown.
Total revenue continues to be split evenly between commissions on trading, and management & other recurring fees, each increasing significantly during the year. This reflects both an increase in the firm's client base alongside a continued migration from commission-based relationships to more fee focussed ones. The impact of this was masked by a surge in commission income as active clients responded to the opportunities created during the market falls of February and March 2020.
Restatement of accounts
Following an internal audit exercise in the first half of the year, the directors of the company determined that certain adjustments needed to be made to its accounts. These result primarily from a change in an accounting process which had affected the way in which our systems data had been interpreted for accounting purposes. In addition, we resolved to change the way in which the acquisition of Fieldings Investment Management was accounted for.
There had been no impact on client money or accounts, and no impact on the firm's cash position. The overall impact had been an overstatement of current liabilities. The necessary adjustments, accumulated over several years, amounted to a net addition of some GBP532,000 to the Group's net assets as at 31 May 2019. Comparative data in this report has been restated and the adjustments elaborated in notes to the full published Report and Accounts.
Asset Management
In May 2020 our unit trust, Ocean UK Equity, passed its second anniversary. The first two years have been successful with the fund in the top quartile in each of the last three, six and twelve-month periods and since launch. It was also ahead of its benchmark the CBOE UK All Companies Total Return Index over the period. As at the end of May 2020 the fund was valued at GBP7.6m (2019: GBP5.8m).
Costs & Outturn
Operating expenses have risen by GBP0.7m to GBP5.7m in the year to 31 May 2020 (2019: GBP5.0m) an increase of 14%. Almost half of the increase comes from staff costs: in particular the administrative strengthening of operational capacity and compliance. We have also engaged external resources where appropriate to minimise long term increases in staff levels, and such consultancy has pushed up the operating expenses in the short term. However, such costs are expected to subside as we proceed through the current year.
Prior investment in disaster recovery resources and a migration to cloud services meant that the relatively sudden move to a Working-From-Home environment, at the onset of the Covid-19 lockdown, was achieved smoothly and with relatively little additional cost. This is not to belittle the very significant amount of staff endeavour that went into ensuring the migration proceeded as seamlessly as it did.
Euroclear
Historically, Euroclear has been an annual dividend payer but due to the timing of a re-domiciliation exercise Euroclear did not pay us a dividend during our prior year to 31 May 2019. The dividend stream has resumed in this financial year with a dividend received of GBP143,000.
The latest interim report from Euroclear shows that its business income advanced robustly by 13% but this was largely offset by the fall in interest received as a result of worldwide interest rate cuts. Despite a 5% increase in earnings per share we feel it appropriate to reflect recent transaction prices and have marked down the carrying value of our investment to EUR1,525 per share being GBP5.0m in total. This represents a partial roll-back of the very substantial valuation increases which we have seen in recent years.
Net assets
Shareholder's funds amount to some GBP7.4m and within this we continue to hold some GBP2.2m of cash.
Strategy
We continue to implement our ongoing strategy to welcome new investment managers with established client relationships to increase our assets under management and advice. 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.
IFRS 16
The adoption of IFRS 16 from 1 June 2019, being applied to the accounting for our leased office premises, has resulted in the inclusion of GBP101,000 (after depreciation) of right-of-use assets in the Statement of Financial Position at 31 May 2020 together with a lease liability of GBP124,000. In the year to 31 May 2020, operating profit was increased by GBP47,000, which was matched by an increase in lease liability interest of GBP23,000, giving an overall GBP24,000 upside to the Income Statement. The opening balance impact is quantified in the Group Statement of Changes in Equity.
Dividend
The Board has resolved not to pay a dividend for the year to 31 May 2020 (2019: GBPnil).
Impact of Covid-19
We were fortunate that our disaster recovery infrastructure meant that we were very well placed to deal rapidly with the Working-From-Home requirement imposed by the Covid-19 lockdown. IT skills were polished, and the cultural change was adapted to quickly. This helped us stay focussed on investment decisions and client needs. Your Board is conscious that going forward there will be a range of challenges to address in relation to bringing staff back into an office-based working environment.
Staff
Considerable effort went into ensuring that the transition to Working-From-Home proceeded smoothly and resulted in an efficient work environment - on top of all the usual challenges in running a business. In this light I would like to extend my thanks to all members of the team for their hard work and commitment to the future success of the Company.
Markets
The last quarter of our own financial year has seen the fastest and sharpest falls in equity markets in a generation. In just twenty-two trading days equity markets fell by 30% or more. This was followed by an equally rapid and strong recovery with the US market, led by the performance of technology stocks, rising 36% from its March low and the UK market rising by 26%.
Around the world, government policy has been dominated by the need to contain the Covid-19 virus and at the same time lessen the severity of its economic impact. This has resulted in the provision of unprecedented levels of fiscal and monetary stimulus together with other supportive measures.
Last year I drew attention to the astonishing levels of debt being accumulated by companies and emerging market nations. This has now been dwarfed by the levels of debt assumed by mature sovereign entities which will eventually need to be addressed. The imposition of austerity measures would be unacceptable while economies are in such a precarious state. Politically the less painful reflationary option will no doubt prevail with longer term inflationary consequences.
Companies have meanwhile been preserving cash by deferring or cancelling dividend payments. Aggregate dividends in the UK are likely to fall by 30-40% this year. An unedifying prospect for savers and investors already adversely affected by the negligible returns available from cash deposits or government bonds.
It is likely that market volatility will persist for some time as there are a considerable number of unknowns to digest; the duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of the global response, the impact on world GDP and the timing, shape and speed of an eventual recovery. What is clear is that both monetary and fiscal policy are likely to remain accommodative for some time to come and historically low interest rates to continue.
Outlook
The new financial year has begun with business levels in line with the previous year just reported. With the expectation that most of the exceptional costs incurred last year will not be repeated in the current year, your Board is encouraged by the progress made in the first few months of trading.
AGM
In light of the current Covid-19 public gathering restrictions and social distancing requirements, the forthcoming AGM which is to be held on Wednesday 23 December 2020 at 12.30pm, will be run as a closed meeting and shareholders will not be permitted to attend in person.
Shareholders' views are important and the Board encourages shareholders to submit their votes via CREST ID rather than attending the meeting in person. Shareholders may also submit questions in advance of the AGM to the Company Secretary via email to info@fiskeplc.com or by post to the Company Secretary at the address set out above.

Notes to the Accounts
For the year ended 31 May 2020
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 2020 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.
The financial information included in this News Release does not constitute statutory accounts of the Group for the years ended 31 May 2020 and 2019, but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for the year ended 3 May 2019 have been reported on by the Group's auditor and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. Statutory accounts for the year ended 3 May 2020 have been audited and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors for both years was (i) unqualified, (ii) included a reference the prior year restatement to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Copies of the Annual Report will be sent on 30 November 2020 to shareholders and will also be available on our website at www.fiskeplc.com
With the exception of IFRS 16, adopted in the current year, there have been no significant changes in accounting policies from those set out in the Fiske plc 2019 Annual Report.
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:
2020 2019

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:
2020 2019
CGU GBP'000 GBP'000
-------------------------------- --------- ---------
Ionian Group Limited 206 230
Vor Financial Strategy Limited 165 165
--------------------------------- --------- ---------
Goodwill allocated to CGUs 371 395
--------------------------------- --------- ---------
The impairment charge arises from a prudent assessment that customer relationships and goodwill change over time and are not of indefinite life. Based on analyses of the relevant customer base segments, a determination was made as to the expected income streams arising over the next 8 years. The recoverable amounts of the goodwill in Ionian Group Limited and in Vor Financial Strategy Limited are determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use projections of marginal profit contributions over the expected remaining stream of attributable value. The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are as follows:
Direct and indirect costs
as % of revenues 60%
Growth rate 0 %
12.5
Discount rate %
Had the discount rate used gone up / down by 1%, impairment would have been GBP7,000 higher/lower and the carrying amount commensurately adjusted. Management determined margin contribution and growth rates based on past performance of those units, together with current market conditions and its expectations of development of those CGUs. The discount rate used is pre-tax, and reflects specific risks relating to the relevant CGU.
