Jarvis Securities plc
("Jarvis" or "the Company" or "the Group")
RESULTS FOR THE YEARED 31 DECEMBER 2022
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
-- 20% decrease in profit before tax -- 15% decrease in interim dividend per share (excludes 2021 special dividend) -- 20% decrease in EPS
This year has definitely been one of the more interesting years at Jarvis since forming the Company in 1984. It began with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an event which had a wide ranging impact across already stagnant economic conditions, and concluded with the appointment of a skilled person, the first such event in nearly 40 years of regulated activity. The appointment began in late September with a six-month time schedule to review the systems and controls of our subsidiary, Jarvis Investment Management Limited. This review is still ongoing and we expect to provide an update shortly. Finally, as the year progressed, we witnessed a significant shift in central banks' monetary policy as they used interest rate increases as a tool to fight inflation and was good news.
General share transaction volumes remain below average across the whole industry so we have seen a reduction in line with that. The Covid pandemic brought significant volatility to the market between 2020-21, and a flurry of corporate activity after lock down as IPO activity increased. This has largely died down and been replaced by a steadily declining market, which is not ideal for transaction volumes. The negative geo-political situations have weighed heavily on the markets due to uncertain outcomes, however the effect of interest rate and cost of living increases on household spending has yet to be fully realised. There are indications that the market may have now turned, as market indices have turned positive and central banks signalling that interest rates may now have peaked or the rate of increase will slow.
The agreed FCA restriction set out in the previous market announcement on our Model B corporate clients has led us to review our business model. We are severing ties with a number of our model B clients whose businesses do not meet the risk tolerance at Jarvis and fall outside of our more restricted outsourcing model. Whilst limiting the business activities in the short term, it was felt necessary to ensure that the business would thrive in the longer term. We have made and continue to make enhancements to our Model B and retail client onboarding procedures and monitoring to ensure that they are in line with market practice and meet that expected of us by the regulator.
As many of our investors know, one of our income streams is interest earned on client funds. This has seen a significant upturn throughout the year, and has to an extent offset the reduction in commission income due to lower trade volumes and the significant one off costs associated with the skilled person process. We have in the short term been able to capture these rate increases as funds have matured, but there are still further gains to come in the future.
I am confident that the business will emerge financially stronger and more resilient as a result of this year, and whilst we are currently experiencing a period of change the future of Jarvis is bright.
As always, I would like to thank all off our staff for their hard work and support over what has been a very challenging and stressful period.

1. Basis of preparation
The company has adopted the requirements of international accounting standards as adopted by the United Kingdom and those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below, which have been consistently applied to all the years presented.
New standards, not yet effective
There are no standards that are issued but not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
Significant judgements and estimates
The areas involving a high degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 20.
Going concern
The group's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 2 to 5. The financial position of the group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described within these financial statements. In addition, note 25 of the financial statements includes the group's objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital; its financial risk management objectives; details of its financial instruments and hedging activities; and its exposure to credit risk and liquidity risk.
The group has considerable financial resources, long term contracts with all its significant suppliers and a diversified income stream. The group does not have any current borrowing or any anticipated borrowing requirements. As a consequence, the directors believe that the group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
2. Accounting policies
(a) IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'
Commission - the group charges commission on a transaction basis. Commission rates are fixed according to account type. When a client instructs us to act as an agent on their behalf (for the purchase or sale of securities) our commission is recognised as income on a point in time basis when the instruction is executed in the market. Our commission is deducted from the cash given to us by the client in order to settle the transaction on the client's behalf or from the proceeds of the sale in instance where a client sells securities.
Management fees - these are charged quarterly or bi-annually depending on account type. Fees are either fixed or are a percentage of the assets under administration. Management fees income is recognised over time as they are charged using a day count and most recent asset level basis as appropriate.
Interest income - this is accrued on a day count basis up until deposits mature and the interest income is received. The deposits pay a fixed rate of interest. In accordance with FCA requirements, deposits are only placed with banks that have been approved by our compliance department. Interest income is recognised over time as the deposits accrue interest on a daily basis.
(b) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases. The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Jarvis Securities plc, Jarvis Investment Management Limited, JIM Nominees Limited, Galleon Nominees Limited and Dudley Road Nominees Limited made up to 31 December 2022.
The Group uses the purchase method of accounting for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date,
irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in the income statement.
Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated on consolidation and all sales and profit figures relate to external transactions only. No profit and loss account is presented for Jarvis Securities plc as provided by S408 of the Companies Act 2006.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment is shown at cost less subsequent depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the lives of the assets at the following rates:
Leasehold improvements - 33% on cost, or over the lease period if less than 3 years
Office equipment - 20% on cost
Land & Buildings - Buildings are depreciated at 2% on cost. Land is not depreciated.
Right of use asset - Straight line basis over the lease period
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each year end date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement. Impairment reviews of property, plant and equipment are undertaken if there are indications that the carrying values may not be recoverable or that the recoverable amounts may be less than the asset's carrying value.
(d) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. If acquired as part of a business combination the initial cost of the intangible asset is the fair value at the acquisition date. Amortisation is charged to administrative expenses within the income statement and provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the lives of the assets at the following rates:
Databases - 4% on cost Customer relationships - 7% on cost Software developments - 20% on cost Website - 33% on cost
Impairment reviews of intangible assets are undertaken if there are indications that the carrying values may not be recoverable or that the recoverable amounts may be less than the asset's carrying value.
(e) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the aggregate fair values of the net identifiable assets of the acquired trade and assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Any negative goodwill arising is credited to the income statement in full immediately.
(f) Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the timing of the reversal of the timing difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
(g) Segmental reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. The directors regard the operations of the Group as a single segment.
(h) Pensions
The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the income statement.
(i) Investments
Investments held for trading
Under IFRS investments held for trading are recognised as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for any impairment in value.
(j) Share capital
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of income tax. Where the company purchases its equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income tax), is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise:
Balance at bank and in hand - cash in hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash held for settlement of market transactions - this balance is cash generated through settlement activity, and can either be a surplus or a deficit. A surplus arises when settlement liabilities exceed settlement receivables. This surplus is temporary and is accounted for separately from the balance at bank and in hand as it is short term and will be required to meet settlement liabilities as they fall due. A deficit arises when settlement receivables exceed settlement liabilities. In this instance Jarvis will place its own funds in the client account to ensure CASS obligations are met. This deficit is also temporary and will reverse once settlement receivables are settled.
(l) Current income tax
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the year end date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate based on the taxable profit for the year.
(m) Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the group's financial statements in the period in which interim dividends are notified to shareholders and final dividends are approved by the company's shareholders.
(n) IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'
The group currently calculates a "bad debt" provision on customer balances based on 25% of overdrawn client accounts which are one month past due date and are not specifically provided for. Under IFRS 9 this assessment is required to be calculated based on a forward - looking expected credit loss ('ECL') model, for which a simplified approach will be applied. The method uses historic customer data, alongside future economic conditions to calculate expected loss on receivables
(o) IFRS 16 'Leases'
The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implied in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate.
The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for contracts with options to renew or exit early.
The carrying amount of right-of-use assets recognised was GBP384,985 at the lease start date of 27 September 2022. A finance charge of 5% APR is used to calculate the finance cost of the lease.
3. Group revenue
The revenue of the group during the year was wholly in the United Kingdom and the revenue of the group for the year derives from the same class of business as noted in the Strategic Report.

4. Segmental information
All of the reported revenue and operational results for the period derive from the group's external customers and continuing financial services operations. All non-current assets are held within the United Kingdom. The group is not reliant on any one customer and no customer accounts for more than 10% of the group's external revenues.
As noted in 2 (g) the directors regard the operations of the group as a single reporting segment on the basis there is only a single organisational unit that is reported to key management personnel for the purpose of performance assessment and future resource allocation.

The goodwill balance represents an acquired customer base, that continues to trade with the group to this day and, more fundamentally, systems, processes and a registration that dramatically reduced the group's dealing costs. These systems and the registration contributed significantly to turning the group into the low cost effective provider of execution only stockbroking solutions that it is today. The key assumptions used by the directors in their annual impairment review are that the company can benefit indefinitely from the reduced dealing costs and the company's current operational capacity remains unchanged. The recoverable amount of the goodwill has been assessed using the value in use method and there is significant headroom based on this calculation. There are no reasonable changes in assumptions that would cause the cash generating unit value to fall below its carrying amount.

19. Financial Instruments
The group's principal financial instruments comprise cash, short terms borrowings and various items such as trade receivables, trade payables etc. that arise directly from operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is the funding of the group's trading activities. Cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables are categorised as held at amortised cost, and trade and other payables are classified as held at amortised cost. Other than investments held for trading all financial assets and liabilities are held at amortised cost and their carrying value approximates to their fair value.
The main financial asset of the group is cash and cash equivalents which is denominated in Sterling and which is detailed in note 15. The group operates a low risk investment policy and surplus funds are placed on deposit with at least A rated banks or equivalent at floating interest rates.
The group also holds investments in equities, treasury shares and property.
20. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
21. Immediate and ultimate parent undertaking
There is no immediate or ultimate controlling party.
22. Related party transactions
The company has a lease with Sion Properties Limited, a company controlled by a director of the company, for the rental of 78 Mount Ephraim, a self-contained office building. The lease has an annual rental of GBP87,500. Full details of this lease are disclosed in Note 13.
During the year Jarvis Investment Management Limited paid Jarvis Securities Plc GBP12,500 (2021: GBP7,000) for rental of a disaster recovery site.
Jarvis Securities plc owed Jarvis Investment Management Limited GBP1,549,300 (2021: GBP2,663,298) at year end.
During the year, directors, key staff and other related parties by virtue of control carried out share dealing transactions in the normal course of business. Commissions for such transactions are charged at various discounted rates. The impact of these transactions does not materially or significantly affect the financial position or performance of the company. At 31 December 2022, these same related parties had cash balances of GBP810,742 (2021: GBP634,423). No interest was earned during the year (2021: GBP2,181). In addition to cash balances other equity assets of GBP30,479,543 (2021: GBP60,729,502) were held by JIM Nominees Ltd as custodian.
During the year Jarvis Securities Plc charged GBP4,871,178 (2021: GBP3,304,759) to Jarvis Investment Management Limited for use of intellectual properties.
At the period end Directors directly held 11,203,924 shares in the company (2021: 11,183,924). A further 12,547,330 shares (2021: 12,547,330) shares were held by concert parties of the directors as defined by the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.
23. Capital commitments
As of 31 December 2022, the company had no capital commitments (2021: nil).
24. Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the company is the current bid price. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values.
25. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The directors consider that their main risk management objective is to monitor and mitigate the key risks to the group, which are considered to be principally credit risk, compliance risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. Several high-level procedures are in place to enable all risks to be better controlled. These include detailed profit forecasts, cash flow forecasts, monthly management accounts and comparisons against forecast, regular meetings of the full board of directors, and more regular senior management meetings.
The group's main credit risk is exposure to the trading accounts of clients. This credit risk is controlled via the use of credit algorithms within the computer systems of the subsidiary. These credit limits prevent the processing of trades in excess of the available maximum permitted margin at 100% of the current portfolio value of a client.
A further credit risk exists in respect of trade receivables. The group's policy is to monitor trade and other receivables and avoid significant concentrations of credit risk. Aged receivables reports are reviewed regularly and significant items brought to the attention of senior management.
The compliance risk of the group is controlled through the use of robust policies, procedures, the segregation of tasks, internal reviews and systems controls. These processes are based upon the Rules and guidance notes of the Financial Conduct Authority and the London Stock Exchange and are overseen by the compliance officer together with the management team. In addition, regular compliance performance information is prepared, reviewed and distributed to management.
The group aims to fund its expansion plans mainly from existing cash balances without making use of bank loans or overdraft facilities. Financial risk is therefore mitigated by the maintenance of positive cash balances and by the regular review of the banks used by the group. Other risks, including operational, reputational and legal risks are under constant review at senior management level by the executive directors and senior managers at their regular meetings, and by the full board at their regular meetings.
The group derives a significant proportion of its revenue from interest earned on client cash deposits and does not have any borrowings. Hence, the directors do not consider the group to be materially exposed to interest rate risk in terms of the usual consideration of financing costs, but do note that there is a risk to earnings. Given that the group has remained profitable during the past decade when the Bank of England base rate was at its lowest level since its foundation in 1694 this risk is not considered material in terms of a threat to the long term prospects of the group.
The capital structure of the group consists of issued share capital, reserves and retained earnings. Jarvis Investment Management Limited has an Internal Capital and Risk Assessment process ("ICARA"), as required by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for establishing the amount of regulatory capital to be held by that company. The ICARA gives consideration to both current and projected financial and capital positions. The ICARA is updated throughout the year to take account of any significant changes to business plans and any unexpected issues that may occur. The ICARA is discussed and approved at a board meeting of the subsidiary at least annually. Capital adequacy is monitored daily by management. Jarvis Investment Management Limited uses the simplified approach to Credit Risk and the standardised approach for Operational Risk to calculate Pillar 1 requirements. Jarvis Investment Management Limited observed the FCA's regulatory requirements throughout the period. Information disclosure under Pillar 3 of the Capital Requirements Directive is available from the group's websites. Further information regarding regulatory capital is disclosed in the strategic report.
The group offers settlement of trades in sterling as well as various foreign currencies. The group does not hold any assets or liabilities other than in sterling and converts client currency on matching terms to settlement of trades realising any currency gain or loss immediately in the income statement. Consequently the group has no foreign exchange risk.
As of 31 December 2022, trade receivables of GBP128,948 (2021: GBP186,074) were past due and were impaired and partially provided for. The amount of the provision was GBP57,828 as at 31 December 2022 (2021: GBP143,524). The individually impaired receivables relate to clients who are in a loan position and who do not have adequate stock to cover these positions. The amount of the impairment is determined by clients' perceived willingness and ability to pay the debt, legal judgements obtained in respect of, charges secured on properties and payment plans in place and being adhered to. Where debts are determined to be irrecoverable, they are written off through the income and expenditure account. The group does not anticipate future write offs of uncollectable amounts will be significant as the group now imposes much more restrictive rules on clients who utilise extended settlement facilities.
