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 This has largely died down and been
replaced by a steadily declining market, which is not ideal for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.
