The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

Ownership of the company changed in August 2024 when the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Agora Financial Group S.A. a company incorporated in Luxembourg. The company was dormant throughout the period and the new owners plan to explore new revenue streams in the near future.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Regulation and compliance

The company operates a regulated activity and must comply with appropriate legislation and regulation. Failure to comply with legal and regulatory obligations or react appropriately where non-compliance is identified could result in enforcement action and / or result in a financial liability. The company is aware of its key legal and regulatory obligations and has systems and controls in place to ensure those obligations are met in full.

Operational risk

The company is reliant upon its registration with the Financial Conduct Authority in order to conduct operations of a financial nature throughout the European Union. Removal of the right to provide financial services in Europe as a consequence of the United Kingdom's planed exit from the European Union could have an major impact on the business should alternative arrangements not be made.

Key supplier and client relationships

The loss of key suppliers and / or client could have a negative impact on the financial results of the company. Close commercial relationships exist with all our suppliers and clients and there is a focus on providing a professional value added service to them in order to maintain these relationships.

Credit risk

The performance of the company could be affected by clients failing to meet their obligations to settle outstanding positions with the company. The company monitors credit risk and maintains close relationships with its customers to actively manage the level of risk.

Liquidity risk

The directors consider the working capital needs of the company in order to implement its business plan and continue as a going concern. Failure to maintain adequate working capital could have an impact on the company's operations.

PAYMENT OF CREDITORS

While the company does not follow any code or standard regarding the payment of suppliers the company aims to pay suppliers in accordance with their normal credit terms, or under terms agreed with individual suppliers.

Agora Securities Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements have been drawn up on the going concern basis. The company is dependent upon the support of its parent company to meet its working capital requirements. The parent company has provided assurances that this support will continue for a period that exceeds twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
