STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of a retail investment product manufacturer and distribution business.

Review of the business

The Company was incorporated on 18 May 2017. The Company is a retail investment product manufacturer and distribution business that was sold in October 2021 to Zak De Mariveles, and then to Altus Ventures Group Limited in March 2024.

During the financial year, the Company issued 250,000 new ordinary shares of £1 each, resulting in a total equity injection of £250,000.

The share issuance was aligned with the Company's strategy to enhance its capital base and bring in strategic partner to accelerate growth in the market

The directors believe there is a significant opportunity to develop the market with a continuously available range of good value products. This can be met by partnering with a diversified range of banks and deposit takers to meet the needs of both the adviser and direct to consumer markets.

The Company is presently operating with one Appointed Representative, Arcus Partners (AR) Limited, and remains well placed to grow its market share.

Appointed Representatives appointment

It is the Companies’ strategic goal to broaden the range of products offered by partnering with distribution firms who specialise in distribution of structured products via the Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) market based in the UK. The Company has opened discussions with several potential additional Appointed Representatives.

Principal risks and uncertainties

 

Interest Rate Environment

While the interest rate environment throughout the last year has enabled the Company to consistently offer competitive structured deposits from several banks, the current projected downward trend in rates may make this more difficult in the year ahead as it can impact the attractiveness of investment products to the retail market.

Key performance indicators

Financial key performance indicators

The directors use a number of key performance measures to monitor and manage performance within the business. The key performance indicator used is turnover. The directors monitor this key performance indicator on a regular basis throughout the year to ensure the Company's strategy is achieved.

Other key performance indicators

The directors also use a number of non-financial performance indicators including the number of complaints received, breaches recorded, firms that sign terms of business, bank relationships and percentage of market share.

Directors section 172(1) statement
The directors assessment of section 172(1) matters are as follows:

Long-term considerations

All major decisions that could impact the long-term outlook of the business are taken with reference to the Board (which contains the Company's shareholders) and are considered within the overall risk management process of the business. The Board continuously monitors the strategic direction of the business and is responsible for examining all of the options available with a view to providing a high-quality service to our clients.

DURA CAPITAL LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
- 2 -

Company employees’ interest

The interest of the Company's employees are aligned with the interest of the Board. Staff are paid competitive market rates and are offered additional benefits.

 

Business Relationships with Suppliers, Customers and Others

 

The Company recognises the importance of its relationships with customers and has always endeavoured to ensure they receive a high level of service. The Company operates in a relatively specialist sector of the investment markets, so client communication is frequent, detailed and two-way. Suppliers are equally as important and treated in a similar manner.

Impact of the Company’s operations on the community and environment

Given the area of its operation and structure, the company has minimal impact on the environment and community. Where possible, we strive to offer a digital service to reduce the need for paper and postage.

High Standards of Business Conduct

The Company build to ensure it is operating at the very highest standards. This is evidenced by its government structure and control environment it operates.

 

Company Shareholders

 

The company is wholly owned by Altus Ventures Group Limited.

 

 

Pillar 3 disclosure

 

Copies of the Company's Pillar 3 disclosures as required by the IFPRU Rules of the FCA Handbook will be available from the Company's website at https://www.duracapital.co.uk

Energy and carbon report

As the company has not consumed more than 40,000 kWh of energy in this reporting period, it qualifies as a low energy user under these regulations and is not required to report on its emissions, energy consumption or energy efficiency activities.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

 

 

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF DURA CAPITAL LIMITED
- 5 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Dura Capital Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

 

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF DURA CAPITAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

 

Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

DURA CAPITAL LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF DURA CAPITAL LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 7 -

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

 

 

 

 

Audit response to risks identified

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

 

 

 

 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

 

 

 

 

 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies
Company information

Dura Capital Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is One Ground Floor, 3 London Square, Cross Lanes, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 1UJ.

 

The company is regulated by the FCA.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales related taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:

Turnover from the promotion of structured products is based on a margin when the product is launched to the market. The company has no on-going commitments to service structured products and revenue is recognised at the point of the individual product launches.

1.4
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 

In the Statement of Cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

1.5
Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

Investments in derivative funds are measured at fair value with changes recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income where the fair value can be measured reliably.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 14 -
Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

 

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

 

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Other financial liabilities

Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.

 

Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 15 -
1.6
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.7
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.8
Retirement benefits

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

 

The contributions are recognised as an expenses in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered finds.

1.9

Capital contribution reserve

The Company has received historic payments to fund expenses incurred in its formation. These payments have been recognised as expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. As these amounts were assessed as non-refundable these were accounted for as a capital contribution reserve. Any cash movements relating to the capital contribution reserve are treated as movements through equity.

1.10

Client Money

The Company holds money on behalf of clients in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Client Money Rules ("Cass"). Client money is held in the client bank accounts and is segregated from the Company's own funds. Such money and the corresponding liabilities are not reflected in the Company's Statement of Financial Position.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

 

FRS102 requires three-level hierarchy disclosure for categorising financial assets and liabilities at fair value and requires enhanced disclosure about fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy classifies financial assets and liabilities according to the source of inputs ranked according to availability of observable market prices used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: The unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable (ie developed using market data) for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable (ie for which market data is unavailable) for the asset or liability.

 

The level of fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement categorised in its entirety should be determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The categorisation of the Company's investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of each investments and does not necessarily correspond to the director's perceived risk of investment, The investment are classified within Level 2 as they have been observed using market prices.

 

The determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant, judgement by the directors. The directors consider observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distribute or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

 

The following tables analyse within the fair value hierarchy the Company's investments measured at fair value:

There have been no changes to the fair value for which investments are measured at using Level 2 inputs.
