GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Gravis Advisory Ltd (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2026, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet 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). In our opinion the financial statements: ∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of its profit for the year then ended; ∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and ∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditors' 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 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.
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 Auditors' 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. Page 3
GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD (CONTINUED)
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: ∙the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and ∙the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or ∙the 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; or ∙the Directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 1, 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. Page 4
GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD (CONTINUED)
Auditors' 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 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 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. We have identified the greatest risk of a material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to relate to the timing and recognition of revenue and the override of controls by management. We have obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates within including both those that directly have an impact on the financial statements and more widely those for which non-compliance could have a significant impact on the Company's operations and reputation. The Companies Act 2006, UK company tax law, Financial Conduct Authority regulation, employee legislation and data protection are those we have identified in this regard. Auditing standards limit the required procedures as to non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiries of those charged with governance and review of any applicable correspondence. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: ∙Assessing the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatements by obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur; ∙Enquiring of management and those charged with governance as to actual and potential litigation and claims and testing of internal controls in place, where applicable, to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; ∙Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, by identifying the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with management to ensure that no breaches have incurred that would have a reputational, operational or financial impact on the Company; ∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with Governance; ∙Performing audit work over the risk of timing and recognition of income, including testing of internal controls over income reconciliation and recognition, analytical procedures to ensure completeness and substantive procedures to ensure accuracy, based on the requirements of accounting standards; and ∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and performing analytical procedures to identify any significant unusual or unexpected transactions or relationships. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. Page 5

This description forms part of our Auditors' 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 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.

GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
1. | General information
Gravis Advisory Ltd is a private company, limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 09910124. The registered office address is 24 Savile Row, London, W1S 2ES. 2.Accounting policies
| 2.1 | Basis of preparation of financial statements
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 management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3). These financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £'000 unless otherwise stated. The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
| 2.2 | Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS102. There were no material departures from that standard.
| 2.3 | Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": ∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; ∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d); ∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7. This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Gravis Capital Management Ltd as at 31 March 2026 and these financial statements may be obtained from Companies House.
| 2.4 | Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation, the Directors have taken into account the key risks of the business. In doing so the Directors have considered the Company’s business model and availability of cash resources. The Company principally earns income from the provision of investment advisory services, linked directly to the value of managed funds. Although the value of managed funds may fluctuate as a result of the current market conditions, the Directors are comfortable that the Company has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Page 9
GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.5 | Revenue
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and consists of management fees and recharge income. Revenue from management fees are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are provided. Income earned not invoiced is included within accrued income. Recharge income is invoiced periodically after the related expenses are incurred. Income is accrued when expenses have been incurred at the period end but not invoiced. Outstanding payments at the year end are included within trade debtors.
| 2.6 | Interest income
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
| 2.7 | Pensions
Defined contribution pension plan 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 expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
| 2.8 | Taxation
Tax is recognised in the profit and loss. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
| 2.9 | Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
| 2.10 | Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions. 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.
| 2.11 | Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Page 10
GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.12 | Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
| 2.13 | Financial instruments
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments. Impairment of financial assets At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. 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. Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate. If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss. Basic financial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Page 11
GRAVIS ADVISORY LTD NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.13 | Financial instruments (continued)
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Derecognition of financial instruments Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
3. | Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect expected reported income, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates. Management does not consider the Company to have any key judgements or significant sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these financial statements.
4. | Turnover
| An analysis of turnover by class of business is as follows:
|  |  |  |  | 2026 | 2025
|  |  |  |  | £000 | £000
| Investment advisory fees | 5,613 | 6,826
| Recharged expenses | 576 | 634
|  | 6,189 | 7,460
| All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.
