GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Subsidiary Companies specialise in advising private equity funds and private equity investors. These Companies assist General Partners in their fundraising activities and provide advisory services for the secondary sales of private equity funds, companies, portfolios of funds and portfolios of Companies.
In the current year, the Group reported a profit before tax of £73 (2024 - loss £629,784).
The Subsidiary Companies have generated intermediation and placement fees of £3,339,699 (2024 - £2,840,693) in the year to 31 December 2025. The prior year was characterised by more challenging market conditions, including reduced liquidity and a slowdown in fundraising activity across the private markets environment. These conditions affected the timing and execution of transactions and contributed to a reduction in activity levels during that period. While such conditions may support increased demand for liquidity solutions, including secondary transactions, there is typically a delay before this is reflected in completed mandates. As a result, the Company experienced a period of lower revenue in 2024. During the current year, there has been an improvement in activity levels, supported by the Company’s broader advisory capabilities and a gradual stabilisation in market conditions. The results for the year and the financial position at the year-end were considered satisfactory by the directors who expect growth in the foreseeable future.
The principal risks facing the Group are market risk, operational risk and regulatory risk. Market risk remains the most significant, as adverse market conditions may impact investor appetite for new funds and related advisory activity.
The directors consider that the Group has the capability to respond to changing market conditions through diversification of its activities. The principal operational risk relates to the potential incapacity of key personnel. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk through the employment of appropriately skilled professionals. Regulatory risk is managed through the engagement of external regulatory consultants who periodically review compliance and provide advice where necessary.
Given the nature and size of the business, the directors consider that additional key performance indicators are
not necessary for an understanding of the Company’s development, performance or position.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Board of Directors of Elm Capital Holding Limited consider that they have acted, in good faith, in a manner most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in section 172(1) (a) to (f) of the Companies Act 2006, in the decisions taken during the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
Consideration of the long-term consequences of decisions is embedded within the Group’s decision-making processes. As a privately-owned company, the director considers that the interests of the Group and its shareholders are aligned in seeking sustainable long-term value creation. This supports a focus on maintaining relationships with stakeholders, including clients and suppliers. The Group is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in respect of its advisory activities and is required to act with due skill, care and diligence. The Group operates in a sector where maintaining a strong reputation for high standards of business conduct is important. The Group expects its employees and counterparties to act with integrity, honesty and professionalism. The Group has zero tolerance to fraud and consistently maintains effective oversight and scrutiny processes, executed with independence and impartiality. Integrity is underpinned with policies covering areas including bribery and corruption, data protection, equality, diversity and inclusion, modern slavery, fraud and whistleblowing, supported by appropriate oversight processes.
This report was approved by the board on 3 August 2026 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ELM CAPITAL HOLDING LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Elm Capital Holding Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of 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).
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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 Group's or the parent 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ELM CAPITAL HOLDING LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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:
∙adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
∙certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ELM CAPITAL HOLDING LIMITED (CONTINUED)
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, 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 Group's and the parent 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 Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ELM CAPITAL HOLDING LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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 Group 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:
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:
∙the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of similar businesses;
∙we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Group, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, rules and regulations set out by the Financial Conduct Authority, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
∙understanding the design of the Group’s remuneration policies.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
∙investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
∙agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
∙reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ELM CAPITAL HOLDING LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Elm Capital Holding Limited is a Limited Company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales, with its registered office address at 7th Floor, Southwest House, 11A Regent Street, London, SW1Y 4LR.
The Company's principal activity is that of a holding company. It is the parent company to Elm Capital Associates Limited, Elm Capital USA Limited and Elm Capital EU Unipessoal Lda.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company provides investment placement and advisory services, primarily assisting clients in sourcing and securing investors for primary fundraisings and secondary transactions. Revenue is recognised when performance obligations under the service agreement are substantially complete. This is generally considered to be the point at which the Company has secured a letter of intent (LOI) or formal investor commitment to invest in a fund, as the substantive work under the engagement is then complete and any remaining steps to fund close are administrative in nature. For other advisory services, revenue is recognised upon completion of the specific service provided. The contributions are recognised as an expense 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 Group in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Basic financial instruments include trade & other debtors, trade & other creditors, cash at bank & in hand and investments in subsidiaries.
Trade debtors, other debtors and loans to related parties are recognised initially at the transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Trade creditors, other creditors and loans from related parties are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade and other debtors, and loans to related parties. Interest bearing borrowings, such bank loans, classified as basic financial instruments are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Thereafter they are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.

12.Taxation (continued)
At the balance sheet date the Group has estimated tax losses of £933,779 (2024 - £978,261) available to carry forward against future taxable profits.A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in these financial statements, as there is not yet certainty as to when there will be sufficient taxable profits to offset the losses.
As of 1st April 2023, the main rate of corporation tax increased to 25% from the previous rate of 19% for companies with taxable profits in excess of £250,000. Until the Group has taxable profits of this level, the rate of tax considered will remain at 19% or the applicable marginal rate.
