Relationship with Amicorp Group
Amicorp Group is a global organisation providing a broad suite of professional and financial services. At IPO, Amicorp Limited (“AL”), being a wholly owned subsidiary of Amicorp Group, held 85.69% of AMIF. As announced on 21 February 2025, Amicorp Group carried out a share reorganisation which resulted in United Investment and Consultancy Co Ltd (“United”) becoming AMIF’s largest shareholder, holding 46.01%, followed by Amicorp Investments Limited (“AIL”), holding 14.76% and AL, holding 12.85%.
4 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
In October and December of 2025, Amicorp Group completed additional share restructurings. As a result, United now holds 43.04% of the shares, and AL possesses 30.59%. Antonius Knipping, Non-Executive Chairman of AMIF, is identified as the ultimate beneficial owner with a combined direct and indirect holding of 67.27% in AMIF.
Amicorp Fund Services Asia Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMIF, entered into an Intra-group Outsourcing Agreement to provide accounting and administrative services to the corporate and trust clients of the Amicorp Group. The agreement was designed to facilitate the gradual conversion or novation of these clients to AMIF, thereby supporting opportunities for cross-selling. However, the planned transition did not proceed as anticipated due to the complexity and volume of the engagement and the outsourcing of this work to AMIF ceased in June 2025. Amicorp Group and AMIF jointly reviewed the Outsourcing Agreement and mutually agreed to reorient the focus from corporate and trust services to capital market services. As a result of this strategic realignment, the novation of capital market clients was completed in April 2025, with AMIF establishing direct contractual relationships with these clients and providing these services to Amicorp Group clients not yet novated.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Fund Administration and Investor Services
AMIF offers a full spectrum of fund administration services, including Net Asset Value (‘NAV’) calculations, Register and Transfer Agency services, and other key investor relations services. These are backed by innovative technology solutions that streamline onboarding processes and provide timely, reliable and easy access to investment data and performance. This includes a fully automated KYC process for investors, that uses the Group’s own risk ratings model to help clients make better informed decisions.
Fund Administration services include:
-
Fund onboarding
Whilst the Group does not provide any legal, tax or fund structuring advisory services, it does coordinate with various professional parties and conduct administrative reviews of fund documentation relevant to its fund administration services, to facilitate a successful fund launch. -
Registrar and transfer agency
The Group, in its capacity as a fund administrator, implements and applies Know-Your-Client (KYC’) and AML policies and procedures adopted by the relevant funds, meeting the applicable regulatory requirements by collecting relevant KYC documents from investors. The Group also handles investor registry management for the fund by maintaining an updated database of investors, recording changes in share ownership (such as subscriptions, transfers or redemptions), and issuing statements and reports to investors regarding their holdings. -
Net Asset Value Calculation
The Group acts as an independent party to maintain funds' financial records, carry out periodic reconciliations of trade transactions, fee computations, as well as calculating the NAV of the funds in line with the Private Placing Memorandum (‘PPM’) issued in respect of the relevant fund. -
Preparation of financial statements and audit support
As fund administrators, the Group works closely with fund auditors, providing relevant audit support in terms of provision of schedules and draft of financial statements.
The Group's fund administration services also include:
* due diligence processes on investors (for example to identify any politically exposed persons (‘PEPs’) or individuals involved in criminal activities or corruption
* performing risk screening and ongoing monitoring procedures
* communicating with asset managers and local regulators to ensure regulatory compliance
* processing subscription, transfer and redemption requests

Governance and Compliance Services
AMIF’s team of qualified professionals and fund experts are on hand to represent the interests of stakeholders worldwide and ensure they are served in the best possible way. Governance and Compliance services include periodic reporting to fund directors and asset managers, due diligence on any underlying investments, and a range of fiduciary services to ensure the Group’s clients’ funds are in good standing and fully compliant with all applicable rules and regulations.
As Compliance Officers or Money-Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs’) of any fund, AMIF executes one of the most stringent KYC and AML procedures as required by law. As a global service provider, the Group is extremely vigilant in tracking local and international rules and regulations, so it can offer peace of mind when it comes to compliance and any reporting obligations relating to Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (‘FATCA’) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS’), and other tax and legal frameworks.
Governance and Compliance services include:
-
AML services
AML has become such a high profile global concern that any person who violates the AML regulations faces a substantial personal fine plus possible imprisonment. Such regulations are generally applicable to the Group’s clients. Not only does the Group design and implement bespoke KYC and AML policies and procedures for funds and client structures to assist them in maintaining a proper risk framework as required in the relevant jurisdiction, but it also provides them with relevant AML officer functions to provide general oversight of the compliance function of their entities. -
Directorship services
Fund directors have important and wide-ranging fiduciary responsibilities. The directors of a fund are ultimately responsible for overseeing, supervising and monitoring the activities of the fund.Because of the complexities and associated responsibilities/liabilities of being a fund director, many funds decide to outsource this function to a specialist third party that can provide an Independent Director and related governance services. The Group provides directorship services to these clients, as well as asset managers, family offices and financial professionals to enhance governance and provide independent oversight of the clients' business activities.
3. Board support services
The Group provides board support and related administrative services including, but not limited to, the arrangement of board meetings, preparation of meeting agendas, preparation and presentation of board packs (namely AML reports, NAV reports, suspicious transaction reports, exceptional reports, regulatory updates and compliance reports) and provision of minutes.
4. FATCA, CRS and other tax reporting services
In 2014 the OECD established a ‘Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters’ known as the CRS. This legislation is based on the FATCA and the Intergovernmental Agreements (‘IGAs’) in the USA. More than 100 jurisdictions worldwide have implemented CRS in their domestic legislation. The Group provides services to assist in the proper classification, necessary registration and reporting of funds for FATCA, CRS and other tax reporting obligations, and to ensure the fund is tax compliant. 8 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
5. Environmental, Social and Governance (‘ESG’) services
This service line help investors and businesses analyse, report and develop their ESG performance levels, and address mounting regulatory requirements. This specialist support also provides an ESG Rating and a light ‘Gap Analysis’, to help businesses identify any shortcomings and highlight where improvements can be made. The new ESG Services come at a time when financial markets participants within the European Union, including asset managers, private equity and venture capital funds, banks and institutional investors, are required under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR’) to report their sustainable economic activities on an annual basis.
6. AML/CFT Compliance Services
During FY25, the Group launched an e-learning tool and an AML/CFT framework documentation service targeting Financial Service Providers (“FSP’) in the Cayman Islands (including investment funds and investment management companies) which must implement robust AML compliance programs, including annual training and an AML/CFT policy manual. 9 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
BPO Services
AMIF’s BPO team takes away the burden of managing back-office tasks so the Group’s clients can focus on core objectives. AMIF incorporates automated processes to help simplify and enhance the accounting and administration, with regular management reports of the client’s fund or the associated special purpose vehicles (SPVs’) so the Group’s clients have the insights they need at every stage.
1. Accounting and corporate services
The Group provides accounting and/or corporate services to general partners, investment management companies and special purpose vehicles associated with the Group's fund clients to meet their demand for streamlining their resources. With the surge in numbers of family offices and private investment companies, the Group also extended such service offering beyond its existing fund clientele to cope with the increasing demands of these entities through its streamlined accounting system.
2. Capital market outsourcing services
During the financial year ended 31 December 2025, Amicorp Fund Services (“AMIF”) completed the integration of Capital Markets capabilities into its operating platform. In addition to fund administration services, the Group extends its services on capital market transactions. The key services include:
- Issuance and Structuring Support: Support for the establishment of issuance vehicles and transaction structures for capital market instruments, including structured notes, debt securities, securitization vehicles, certificate programs, and private placement structures. This includes entity formation, governance design, appointment coordination, and documentation support.

Chairman’s Statement
Overview
I am pleased to present AMIF’s Annual Report for the year ending 31 December 2025, marking a year of continued operational progress and strategic advancement as the Group builds on its post-listing trajectory. Throughout the year, AMIF has focused on strengthening client engagement, expanding its service offering, and enhancing its global operating platform. These efforts position the Group to respond effectively to the increasing complexity of the asset management landscape while maintaining a disciplined and scalable operating model.
Results overview
FY25 has been a year of strong financial performance, supported by revenue growth of 8.1% to US$16.9 million (FY24: US$15.6 million), alongside significant margin expansion and improved profitability. Gross profit increased by 7.0% to US$10.5 million, with margins reducing slightly from 63.0% to 62.3%, reflecting the scalability of the Group’s capital-light model and continued operational efficiencies. EBITDA increased by 77.3% to US$2.2 million, driven in part by disciplined cost management and growth in BPO and G&C service lines. The Group continues to benefit from structural industry trends, including the increasing outsourcing of middle- and back-office functions and sustained demand for cross-border investment structures. These dynamics contributed to growth in the Group’s client base, with the number of active funds increasing to 331 during the year.
Strategic and operational progress
A key development in FY25 has been the expansion and integration of capital markets services into the Group’s platform, representing a strategic extension of AMIF’s offering. This enables the delivery of more comprehensive solutions through fund administration, corporate services, and capital markets transactions. These services extend the Group’s capabilities to include structuring support, administration, and lifecycle management of capital market instruments, including securitization vehicles, structured products, and private placement structures. These activities remain administrative in nature and do not involve underwriting, market-making, or balance sheet exposure.
The Group has also continued to strengthen its global footprint. The official opening of its office in the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”) represents a significant step in expanding its presence in a key financial hub and enhances its ability to serve clients across the Middle East, Asia, and emerging markets.
Operationally, AMIF has invested in its platform to support growth and resilience. This includes the establishment of an additional fund administration back office in Cape Town, improving business continuity and enabling more effective servicing of clients across European and Latin American time zones.
Business and operating environment
The asset management industry continues to undergo structural change. Fee compression, driven by the growth of passive investment products, is placing pressure on traditional revenue models, while operating costs continue to increase due to regulatory complexity, technological requirements, and investment in data and automation capabilities. 12 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
These dynamics are particularly pronounced for small and mid-sized asset managers, many of whom are increasingly outsourcing operational functions to maintain profitability and scalability. At the same time, the cost and time required to establish investment structures continue to increase, reinforcing demand for efficient, ready-to-deploy solutions. AMIF is well positioned within this environment, supported by its capital-light model, high-margin service lines, and ability to deliver specialized, cross-border solutions tailored to complex client requirements.# Responsible business and portfolio discipline
In an increasingly complex geopolitical environment, the Group applies a disciplined, risk-based approach to client acceptance and portfolio management, including enhanced due diligence in jurisdictions affected by conflict or heightened geopolitical risk. Where relevant, the Group reviews its portfolio to ensure that it does not support or facilitate operating businesses that may directly or indirectly benefit from such activities. As part of this approach, exposure to higher-risk jurisdictions is carefully managed and, where appropriate, limited to passive investment structures.
In the context of the ongoing Ukraine conflict, the Group has maintained limited exposure to Russian or Ukrainian ultimate beneficial owners. Where such relationships exist, they are typically based in other jurisdictions and relate to passive investment activities. This approach has not resulted in any material disruption to the Group’s operations or client base.
Board composition and governance
During 2025 the Board comprised of a Non-Executive Chair, two independent Non-Executive Directors and three executive Directors. In January 2026 Stephen Wong the CFO left the Company having been headhunted into another opportunity. The finance function is now led by Shane Anderson, a SAICA Chartered Accountant with over 25 years of audit and accounting experience in the UK and South Africa. In March 2026, Robin Hoekjan, the Group’s COO was also headhunted into another opportunity and the Company is actively searching for a replacement. The Board now comprises a Non-Executive Chair, two Independent Non-Executive Directors and one Executive Director.
Accounts Filing Delay
The accounts were filed late this year due to administrative issues caused by a transition of the finance function from Bangalore to Cape Town leading to a temporary loss of staff during the transition. The Board takes this matter very seriously and has taken remedial action. This matter is now fully resolved. More details are provided in the Chief Executive Officers Report.
Outlook for 2026
Global markets continue to face geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Investment momentum has moderated, and asset managers are increasingly focused on cost optimization, operational efficiency, and strengthened risk management frameworks.
13 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
These conditions are accelerating demand for outsourcing, automation, and technology-enabled solutions. At the same time, asset managers, family offices, and financial institutions continue to seek flexible, cost-efficient structures in reputable jurisdictions with efficient time-to-market. AMIF remains well positioned to capitalize on these trends. The Group’s expanded platform, including its capital markets capabilities and global structuring solutions, enables it to deliver scalable, integrated services across jurisdictions.
The Group also recognizes the importance of continued investment in technology, including automation and artificial intelligence, to enhance operational efficiency, support increasing transaction volumes, and maintain its competitive position. The Group will continue to monitor relevant technological developments and industry trends, including advancements in data analytics, cloud-based infrastructure, cybersecurity frameworks, digital transformation initiatives, and emerging applications of agentic artificial intelligence, and will assess potential opportunities for adoption in a prudent and disciplined manner, taking into account operational requirements and risk considerations.
During the year the Group was granted approval by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (“DFSA”) to provide fund administration services to funds established in the Dubai International Financial Centre (‘DIFC’). With a diversified global presence, a growing client base, and a proven ability to scale efficiently, AMIF believes it is well positioned to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value for shareholders.
Closing remarks
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our management team and employees for their continued dedication, professionalism, and commitment to delivering for our clients. I also extend my appreciation to our shareholders for their ongoing trust and support. We look forward to building on this progress in the year ahead.

Industry overview and competitor landscape
The fund administration landscape is evolving rapidly, influenced by ongoing regulatory changes, technological advancements, and shifting client expectations. Increasing regulatory scrutiny, particularly in relation to anti-money laundering (AML), data protection, and transparency, has prompted fund administrators to enhance their compliance capabilities and invest in robust reporting systems. At the same time, digital transformation is reshaping operational models, with automation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics streamlining processes and enabling more efficient service delivery.
Competition remains intense across the sector, with both established players and new entrants seeking to differentiate themselves through service quality, innovation, and specialist offerings. As a result, partnerships and strategic alliances are increasingly common, allowing fund administrators to broaden their range of services and expand into new markets. In this environment, the ability to offer tailored, client-centric solutions—particularly for complex asset classes and sophisticated investors—has become a key competitive advantage.
The industry has encountered challenges in recent years, including increased interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainty, which has affected earnings. In response, the industry has prioritized cost management, acknowledging the necessity of enhancing efficiency. This is detailed further in the CEO’s statement.
The Group operates in a dynamic global industry in which players are typically classified as:
- Financial Institutions (FIs’): Several fund administrators are affiliates of international banks and provide fully-fledged services, including custodial, banking, trade execution, FX transactions, prime brokerage, leveraging and fund administration services for asset managers.
15 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
- Independent fund administrators: These fund administrators are not linked to FIs but provide front, middle and back-office services to their fund clients. Their size in terms of workforce, Aura and number of fund clients are typically similar to FI affiliated fund administrators. Recently, several banks have disposed of their fund administration businesses to independent fund administrators driven by increasingly complex and demanding regulatory requirements.
- Specialist fund administrators: In addition to the core fund administration services, these administrators provide ancillary back office and niche services, such as directorships, AML officers, CFO-assist and regulatory-related services, which are often more appealing to asset managers in specific asset classes such as private equity, venture capital and family offices. These clients tend to demand more bespoke services to meet complex regulatory requirements, investors’ needs as well as their own internal compliance/risk requirements.
The Group positions itself as specialist fund administrator, tailoring its services to meet fund clients’ and family office clients’ specific needs. In 2025, the Group successfully completed the integration of capital markets services into its operational platform. This move marked a strategic enhancement of AMIF’s service portfolio and aligns with the Group’s commitment to providing comprehensive, integrated solutions across fund services, corporate services, and capital markets administration.
Our services are limited to operational, administrative, and governance functions and exclude underwriting, market-making, and investment decision-making. The services do not alter AMIF’s core governance or risk management framework but extended its functional scope to include services supporting the structuring, issuance, administration, and lifecycle management of capital markets instruments including structured notes, debt securities, securitization vehicles and private placement structures.
Global asset and management industry
Our business is directly linked to the global asset and wealth management business. According to PWC’s research 25 November 2025, the global asset under management (AUM) is projected to grow from USD116.2tn to USD200.4tn by 2030.16 17 Based on the research findings, the increase in assets under management (AUM) can be attributed to the following four areas:
- Private markets and alternatives encompassing private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and alternative investments.
- Passive investment which includes index funds, ETFs, hedge funds, and structured products.
- Regional wealth creation is particularly notable in Asia Pacific countries, especially India (where new wealth creation is accelerating), and Japan (with household savings transitioning to investment products); developments are also observed in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.
- Expanding investor access through tokenization and digital platforms: Platforms such as Envestnet, Money Guide Pro, and Oportun are attracting younger and mass affluent investors to the market, supporting asset growth under management.

In summary the growth opportunities are shown in the table below:
| Source of AUM Growth | Key Figures from Article | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Passive Investing | Passive AUM → US$70T by 2030; ~10% CAGR | Strong flows into low cost index and ETF products |
| 2. Private Markets & Alternatives | Private markets → US$26.6T; Alternatives US$34T | Fastest-growing, highest-profit asset class |
| 3. Global Wealth Creation | APAC 6.8%, LatAm 6.6%, MEA 6.3%, Europe 5.6% | Rising wealth pools across major regions |
| 4. Digital platforms & Tokenization | Tokenized/digital platforms AUM → US$715B by 2030; 41% CAGR | More retail access + lower barriers to private assets |
The increase in assets under management (AUM) is expected to support the Group’s overall business expansion. The growth in global AUM, means increasing business complexity and our fee structure is affected by asset mix, digital infrastructure, and regulatory expectations. We are experiencing fee bifurcation of which commoditized services are becoming cheaper due to automation, while specialized services command higher pricing. Our pricing is driven by complexity.
For funds employing passive investment strategies in listed financial instruments, ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence and automation are anticipated to drive further fee compression for standard service offerings. The expansion of private markets and alternative investments, including private equity, private credit, and real estate, is contributing to increased fees due to the need for more sophisticated reporting and comprehensive oversight.
Digital assets represent an emerging premium-fee segment. These services necessitate the development of new operational infrastructure, including multi-chain support (such as Ethereum, Solana, and Layer 2 solutions), smart contract audit integration, real-time asset verification, and additional related capabilities. The Company is pursuing automation and artificial intelligence initiatives to preserve profit margins and aims to concentrate future efforts on clients with higher margins. Alongside fund administration services, the Company is expanding its portfolio to include securitization and loan administration, thereby diversifying its revenue streams.
Market size and growth
The following summarize the trends of AMIF’s key target markets:
MEAI (Middle East Asia and India)
Fundraising activities serve as a primary metric for establishing funds or financial structures connected to the Company’s revenue streams and client portfolio. According to Ionanalytics, fundraising activity in Hong Kong and China remained subdued in 2025 when compared to 2024 in a sense that China experienced its weakest fund raising years in past two decades while HK’s IPO markets improved but private fund raising was not as strong as IPO markets. An estimated USD 60 to USD 90 billion of capital may withdraw from China-focused strategies throughout 2025 and the second half of 2024. Investors continue to exercise caution due to ongoing geopolitical tensions between the United States and China.
18 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
In 2025, India achieved economic growth of 8%, leading to increased fundraising activities and encouraging (1) investors to reallocate capital from China to India. The Middle East, particularly the United Arab Emirates, serves as a financial hub for India and has experienced a resurgence in fundraising activities due to capital reallocation and (2) investments from sovereign wealth funds.
The Group’s diversified presence in Hong Kong, Singapore, GIFT City, Astana and Dubai reduces single market concentration risk and creates collaboration and market advantages. These include Hong Kong's established role as a gateway to China and its expertise in cross-border investments, and Singapore's growing prominence as a hub for private equity, venture capital, and alternative investment funds in Southeast Asia. Dubai is the well-known financial hub for Indian markets and GIFT City is becoming a more popular fund jurisdiction for inbound and outbound investments of India. Astana is an emerging financial hub in Central Asia.
Europe Luxembourg
Europe has been the second-largest revenue contributor to AMIF, with Luxembourg playing a pivotal role as a key jurisdiction for both the European fund management industry and the Group’s strategic growth. As the largest investment fund centre in Europe, Luxembourg continues to solidify its market leadership. According to the 3 statistics published by the CSSF, AUM in Luxembourg reached €6.2 trillion as of December 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of 6.2%.
A key market trend shaping Luxembourg’s asset management industry is the rise of alternative investment funds (AIFs), particularly in private equity, venture capital, and private debt. Private equity and venture capital AUM in (4) Luxembourg grew by approximately 25% year-on-year, reaching €865 billion by the end of 2025. The private debt (5) sector, meanwhile, has seen rapid expansion, with AUM surging to €510 billion, reflecting a 24.7% growth. These trends are driven by high demand for flexible financing solutions, institutional appetite for long-term investments, and Luxembourg’s favourable legal and regulatory framework.
In addition to fund administration business, the Company extend its business to administration of AMC (actively managed certificates) via securitization vehicles (SV) under the Luxembourg Securitization Laws of 2004. According to Nomilux, AMC is a structure which allows fast time-to-market, lower costs compared to fund structures and more flexible assets composition than normal fund structures. Luxembourg had more than 1,350 SVs with over 6,000 compartments (AMCs), representing 30% of all European SVs. AMC is one of fastest-growing use of SVs (as per Creatrust and Super Global reports). The global AMC’s AUM booked between Asia and Europe is USD1.5trillion (according to Mayerbrown).
Recognizing Luxembourg’s importance as a strategic hub for private assets and alternative investments, the Group has significantly increased its focus on expanding its presence in this jurisdiction. This includes strengthening the Luxembourg office with the additional senior leadership to provide expert oversight and drive strategic initiatives. Furthermore, the Group is enhancing the capabilities of its local team by equipping them with strong technical skills, operational expertise, and regulatory knowledge, ensuring they are well-positioned to support clients navigating the evolving investment landscape.

LATAM Chile and Mexico
Chile is currently experiencing a notable shift toward right-leaning policies, resulting in a more business-friendly environment and increased economic liberalization. According to the IMF, inflation is projected to remain controlled at 3%, while the unemployment rate stands at 8.3%, which is still higher than pre-pandemic levels. According to Fund Pro Latin America, the assets under management (AUM) for pension funds, mutual funds, private equity, and institutional mandates in Chile are estimated to range between USD 250 billion and USD 350 billion. Alternative investments account for an estimated USD 20 billion to USD 30 billion, as reported by Preqin Latin America Private Capital Reports and the Latin America Private Equity and Venture Capital Association. Cross-border funds have AUM estimated at USD 35 billion to USD 50 billion, based on data from CMF in Chile and Morning Star Chile.
From an economic perspective, Mexico continues to demonstrate stability and is benefiting from the trend of “nearshoring,” which refers to relocating production and supply chains closer to key consumer markets such as the United States. This phenomenon has led to increased foreign direct investment, particularly as global manufacturers shift their supply chains to Mexico. Consequently, there is strong demand for investment in real estate, including industrial parks and logistics centres—as well as infrastructure sectors, such as energy, (1) transportation, and utilities. Additionally, private equity and M&A activities are on the rise.
The Group acknowledges the evolving fund management environment in Latin America and is proactively advancing its regulatory compliance, diversifying its investment strategies, and enhancing client service capabilities.Through increased allocation to alternative assets and the facilitation of cross-border investment flows, AMIF aims to effectively respond to market developments while supporting sustained growth and resilience throughout the region.
Drivers for business demand
Global tax transparency
Global collaboration on minimum taxation, initiatives to combat tax avoidance, efforts to enhance the coherence of international tax regulations, and the promotion of greater transparency have contributed to the increasing complexity of double-tax agreements (DTAs). These developments are exemplified by the introduction of the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) action plan and the imposition of more stringent requirements regarding economic substance.
Within this context, fund vehicles and structures offer a compelling option for cross-border investment arrangements undertaken by asset managers, family offices, and financial institutions. Legacy investment frameworks are anticipated to be superseded by modern fund structures, which may deliver substantial reductions in compliance expenses alongside enhanced transparency and visibility related to asset protection and tax planning. With relevant licenses in place and extensive experience across AMIF’s team, a range of structuring solutions can be offered based on different investment strategies to open up new opportunities. They include:
- Segregated Portfolio Companies (SPCs) in the Cayman Islands, which offer flexible and efficient corporate structures with a range of benefits, including portfolio segregation, limited liability, tax-neutrality, and ease of set-up within a favourable regulatory environment.
- A trio of options in Luxembourg: (1) (source: Chambers and Partners, “Private Equity 2025 – Mexico”) 20 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
- SICARs (Société d'Investissement en Capital à Risque), offering fiscally efficient structures aimed at Venture Capital and Private Equity investments;
- SIFs (Specialised Investment Funds), investment funds aimed at well-informed investors, typically institutional and professional investors, that can be used to invest in all types of assets;
- RAIFs (Reserved Alternative Investment Funds), alternative investment funds managed by an authorized external alternative investment fund manager (‘AIFM’). They offer flexibility as they can be structured as a common fund, a corporate fund or as a partnership, and are quick to set up since unlike regulated funds such as SIFs and SICARs, no prior approval is needed from the CSSF for a RAIF.
- Variable Capital Company (VCC) Funds, available in Singapore and Mauritius, which are more recent options that are growing rapidly in popularity because of the flexibility, diversity and protections they can offer.
- Incorporated Cell Company (ICC) is a regulated framework in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), introduced by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). It allows multiple separately incorporated cells under one umbrella company, offering flexibility, tax efficiency, and legal segregation for funds, investment platforms, structured finance, feeder/master structures, and multi-strategy asset managers.
Regulatory drivers
The continuous tightening of the regulatory framework in which funds operate provides the Group with five growth opportunities.
- Exemptions for close-ended private equity funds from appointing independent fund administrators have been eliminated, and it is expected that all major fund jurisdictions will soon require independent fund administration for all funds.
- The increasing complexity of reporting obligations in various fund jurisdictions, as well as internationally—driven by regulations such as KYC, AML/CFT, ESG, FATCA, and CRS—has led asset managers to seek the expertise of fund administrators for compliance with relevant requirements.
- Besides reporting obligations, asset managers and financial institutions rely on administrative platforms to handle key tasks in investor onboarding and monitoring. These include KYC checks, transaction monitoring for AML compliance, and maintaining investor registers to meet regulatory standards.
- Regulators require precise, auditable financial and non-financial data. Asset managers rely on fund administrators for automated systems that improve data integrity, standardized regulatory reporting templates, and advanced analytics to meet oversight expectations.
- Regulators demand professional governance, so administrators must supply audit-ready documentation. Fund administrators collaborate with auditors to prepare financial statements, compliance confirmations, offer independent oversight, and ensure NAV calculations and valuation models meet required standards.
The Company is instrumental in providing services that support asset managers, investment funds, and financial institutions in meeting evolving regulatory obligations.
Global trend of outsourcing from asset managers, family offices and financial institutions
The asset management and financial industries have been growing significantly and AMIF believes that growth will continue in the short to medium-term. 21 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3 BNY Mellon’s Future of Asset Management Trends Report reveals that asset managers and owners are outsourcing more front, middle, and back-office tasks. Additionally, 44% are considering further outsourcing, indicating a growing trend. The reasons attributed for continuous outsourcing are:
Firstly, asset managers and financial institutions could lack internal resources to deal with increasing complexity in data, reporting and regulatory requirements.
Secondly, the expenses associated with establishing and maintaining in-house capabilities can be significant. Outsourcing can help reduce fixed costs by transforming operating expenses into variable costs, while also enhancing scalability in response to market and AUM fluctuations.
Thirdly, asset managers could allocate their resources to investment activities and ensure that the size and seniority of investments are strategically aligned with opportunities for higher potential returns. We expect these factors will continue to provide opportunities to the Company in coming years.
Growth in investment flows
The Company maintains a global presence, enabling it to facilitate cross-border investment for its clients. By leveraging its international footprint, the Company can support investors and asset managers in navigating diverse regulatory environments and accessing opportunities across multiple jurisdictions. This global reach enhances its capacity to deliver seamless fund administration and tailored solutions for clients operating in different markets.
According to the Springer Handbook of EU–Latin America Relations (2025), European companies have significantly expanded their presence in Latin America since the 1990s, with Spain being particularly prominent. European firms have become key participants in sectors such as utilities, banking, telecommunications, infrastructure, and energy. Spain remains the leading European investor in the region, maintaining a strong position in finance, telecommunications, and infrastructure.
According to SFF Magazine (March 2025), Europe is regarded as a stable and reliable regulatory environment, characterized by reliable infrastructure and advanced technology. Latin American investors are increasingly allocating capital to Europe to mitigate geopolitical and currency risks, with Spain and Portugal serving as the primary entry point. Comparable cross-regional investment flows are occurring not only between Latin America and Europe, but also between Europe and the Middle East, as well as between the Middle East and Asia.
According to the World Economic Forum (“Why capital flows have the potential to change the economic status quo”), these trends reflect a broader pattern of international capital movement. With our global footprint across MEAI, Europe, and Latin America, the Company is well-positioned to deliver services that facilitate capital and investment flows through structuring and administering various investment vehicles tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. 22 23 BUSINESS MODEL Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3 STRATEGY
Fund administration revenue is principally generated through the onboarding and administration of newly launched funds. The timing and volume of such fund launches are influenced by asset managers’ fundraising activity and broader capital‑raising conditions. Accordingly, fluctuations in fundraising markets may affect the pace at which new administration mandates are secured and, in turn, revenue growth. The Group’s strategy focuses on using its established sales teams to promote organic growth, extend service offerings, and boost operational efficiency. These efforts aim to meet strategic goals such as expanding the client base, improving operational performance, and managing economic uncertainties and volatile capital raising conditions that could affect revenue and business.
Organic growth
The Group's sales teams have historically expanded into the MEAI, Europe, and LatAm regions. The Group originally built its foundation by supporting emerging asset managers with assets under management (AUM) in the range of approximately US$10 million to US$20 million. Our sales team is adopting more consultative, problem solving approach by identifying potential issues and offering tailored solutions. Currently, the Group services a wide range of asset managers, including emerging managers launching their first funds, established funds with AUMs up to US$450 million, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital firms, and specialized investment vehicles.In 2025, the Group further extended its reach to serve an increasingly diverse clientele, including capital market clients. The Group possesses extensive expertise in regulatory and tax compliance, financial structuring, and reporting, establishing as a reliable partner for asset managers dealing with complex multi-jurisdictional frameworks. The Group's capacity to deliver customized solutions has further positioned it as the administrator of choice for family offices, asset managers and financial institutions that seek to implement their own fund structures to manage assets effectively and transparently across diverse markets.
From FY25 onwards, the Group has elevated vertical integration as a core strategic pillar. This approach entails identifying and forming partnerships with professional service providers throughout the fund industry ecosystem, such as fund management platforms, licensing and compliance advisory firms, and specialized experts, to develop a comprehensive and accessible one-stop solution. By collaborating with principal stakeholders in the value chain, THE GROUP intends to broaden its market presence, enhance integrated client experiences, and reinforce its standing as a full-service fund solutions provider.
Strengthening core fund administration business
We strengthen core fund administration by enhancing control frameworks for NAV deliverables, investor reporting, and regulatory compliance; cultivating durable client relationships; investing in staff expertise across private equity, private credit, real assets, and institutional funds; and consistently providing high-quality service through a robust and resilient operating model. These efforts lay the foundation for sustainable growth and address evolving client expectations. Ongoing automation and the integration of artificial intelligence into our processes represent essential advancements both for our organisation and the broader industry.
Extension of our services
Our capital markets strategy centres on carefully managed growth within services that enhance our revenue streams. This encompasses the administration of securitization vehicles, debt and loan management, as well as oversight of orphan structures. We pursue relationships with clients and transactions that are well-governed and creditworthy, consistently aligning our approach with established risk parameters and long-term strategic goals.
24 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
The capital market transactions are client-driven and structurally oriented, primarily focusing on structuring, issuing, administrative, and fiduciary responsibilities. The Group does not participate in investment decisions, sponsorship, promotion, underwriting, trading, or act as a principal investor. Revenue is earned through structuring, administration, governance, and compliance services, making the overall model low‑risk. The Group remains focused on driving sustainable revenue growth while selectively pursuing acquisition opportunities that complement its service offering, geographic footprint, and client base.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S STATEMENT/OPERATING REVIEW
Introduction
In FY2025, we made progress and reinforced our reputation as an independent provider of fund administration, corporate, and fiduciary services for alternative investments and capital markets. As regulations and investor expectations grow, fund administrators are more vital than ever.
Market and industry overview
The operating environment for the Group remained challenging in FY2025 caused by slow fund-raising activities and geo-political uncertainties, such as tariff, trade wars and related economic factors. The 2025 Annual Global Private Market Fundraising Report by PitchBook, released in March 2026, provides validation for several industry trends. Firstly, the largest, branded funds consistently succeeded in raising capital. Secondly, emerging managers and mid-sized managers encountered considerable challenges. Meanwhile, private credit and infrastructure strategies continued to receive strong inflows. Fundraising timelines in 2025 lengthened resulting in funds taking longer to come to market than in preceding years.
Revenue generation is contingent upon the effective fundraising and deployment of funds and investment vehicles. Prolonged fundraising periods can postpone the collection of ongoing fees and elevate the risk of client attrition, thereby contributing to slower revenue growth, especially within the Group's client base of emerging and mid-sized managers. Despite these challenges the Group achieved an increase in Fund Administration revenue of 3.6% compared to prior year.
Extension of our services
In response to challenging global economic environment, we have extended our services offerings to include capital markets, which complement our fund administration offering. In 2025, we enhanced our capabilities to better support issuers, investment vehicles, and structured products through improved transaction execution, SPV administration, loan and debt servicing, and listed-entity reporting. These advancements enable us to serve clients across the entire capital markets lifecycle — encompassing entity formation, governance, settlement, compliance, and investor reporting. By integrating these functions, we provide a cohesive service model that aligns with the increasing demand for independent, transparent, and technology-enabled solutions in today’s complex capital markets environment.
Streamlining of sales resources
The Group serves a diversified client base across numerous international jurisdictions, including traditional fund domiciles like Cayman Islands, BVI, RAIF as well as regions with significant investment and investment management activity like Singapore, Hong Kong and Luxembourg. To meet the needs of its clients, the Group maintains operations in 18 strategically chosen locations around the world, encompassing all principal time zones within MEAI, Europe, Central Asia, and Latin America.
The Group strategically redeployed its sales resources to align with current market conditions, thereby enhancing the efficiency and reach of its commercial opportunities across various markets. In addition, the Group is committed to fostering the development and recognition of internal talent, particularly among relationship managers in global offices. Targeted on-the-job training and development initiatives are being implemented to strengthen their professional capabilities and enable them to identify and capitalize on emerging sales opportunities.
26 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
The Group organises events and networking sessions with clients and partners to promote knowledge sharing and support community development. The Group collaborates extensively with fund platforms, intermediaries, and professional service providers to drive business expansion. It maintains efficient relationships with asset management licensed entities within the Amicorp Group in Dubai, Barcelona, and Singapore, facilitating integrated sales initiatives across key financial centres which resulted in 6 new wins during the year.
License development
As at the beginning of 2025, the Group had licenses in the following jurisdictions:
* Hong Kong – TCSP
* Astana
* Luxembourg
* Malta
* Chile
Within the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) and the United Arab Emirates, the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”) has emerged as a leading regional financial hub, attracting global family offices, asset managers, and institutional investors from Europe and Asia. With its strategic geopolitical location, comprehensive regulatory environment, and pro-business policies, DIFC is a key element of the international financial ecosystem, especially as global capital flows increasingly shift toward emerging markets.
In October 2025, the Group was officially granted a fund administration license by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (“DFSA”), thereby becoming a licensed fund administrator in Dubai. In January 2025 the Group incorporated an entity in South Africa and is currently applying to the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (“FSCA”) for a Category 1 Financial Services Provider license, which permits the provision of intermediary and administrative services in respect of financial products. The application is at an advanced stage and is expected to be granted during FY26.
Operation efficiency, automation and AI
The Group’s global presence is facilitated by its centralized operations office structure. The company operates offices in Mauritius, Bangalore and Davo. In FY25, the Group established a central operations office in Cape Town, to better serve clients across Europe and Latin America. As a result, the Group benefits from a broad talent pool, multicultural teams, and multilingual support, enabling comprehensive, 24-hour service coverage. The Group maintains its core competitive advantage by offering scalable and flexible operations that can be adapted to evolving business requirements, seasonal fluctuations, and opportunities for growth.
Automation and artificial intelligence are increasingly vital for global fund administrators due to escalating data complexity, more stringent regulatory requirements, accelerated reporting demands, and the need to scale operations efficiently without corresponding increases in costs. The Group has continuously implemented automation in its operational processes, keeping pace with technological advancements in the market. This ongoing commitment has enabled the reduction of manual intervention, minimized errors, and facilitated robust consistency checks throughout its workflows. By embracing innovative solutions, the Group ensures greater efficiency and reliability across its global operations.While automation streamlines repetitive, rule-based processes by following fixed logic, artificial intelligence (AI) represents a significant leap forward for business operations. AI differs fundamentally from automation in its capacity to learn from data, adapt to changing circumstances, and handle complex tasks that require interpretation and decision-making. This adaptability makes AI particularly well-suited to addressing challenges where traditional automation would struggle, such as analysing unstructured information or responding to unpredictable scenarios.
We seek suitable AI solutions to establish an AI-integrated layer incorporating advanced technologies such as Optical Character Recognition (“OCR”), Natural Language Processing (NLP), legal clause classification models, and financial classification models. These AI tools will streamline the collection, input, cleansing, and preparation of external data from various sources and formats, transforming it into structured formats compatible with our fund administration systems.
Furthermore, AI-driven machine learning matching algorithms may be deployed to facilitate efficient reconciliation of substantial volumes of transactions, accounting records, and reconciliations. For example, fund administrators manage legal and financial documents like PPMs, side letters, and limited partner agreements. Manual configuration of investor rights, restrictions, and financial requirements in fund administration systems is time-consuming. AI tools using NLP and legal clause classification can quickly extract essential terms, convert them to structured data, and streamline setup with improved accuracy.
South Africa operational expansion
During FY25, the Group further strengthened its operational platform through the expansion of its Cape Town office, establishing it as a key global delivery hub supporting both the Fund Administration and Capital Markets business, enhancing scalability and cross-regional service delivery. As part of this expansion the Group engaged in an initiative to transfer the finance function from Bangalore and centralize it in Cape Town to benefit from a highly qualified resource pool better equipped to meet the reporting and regulatory demands of a UK listed company.
Whilst it was planned to ensure a smooth transition by running both locations in parallel for a period there were earlier than planned departures in the Bangalore team resulting in temporary administrative challenges. These challenges caused delays in the conduct of the audit resulting in a delay in the issuance of the annual report and audited financial statements and a temporary suspension in the Company’s ordinary shares. The new team in Cape Town are now fully staffed and operational and we have complete confidence in their ability to manage this critical function in the group.
Use of IPO proceeds
The Group’s IPO in June 2023 raised US$16.2 million before expenses, including US$6.5 million allocated to projects aimed at future benefits. Management regularly reviews project progress and resource use to ensure alignment with objectives and optimize flexibility. The table below shows an update on use of net IPO proceeds, after deducting placing and admission expenses of US$800k:
| Anticipated use of proceeds | Update – FY24 | Update – FY25 |
|---|---|---|
| IT expenses related to automation process, including licensing fee and consultancy fee (US$1 million) | US$203k further deployed towards development of digital onboarding portal (i.e. AMI-GO) and NAV automation | US$9k further deployed towards tracking of client queries and the enhancement of NAV workflows |
| Depositary lite license in Luxembourg (US$1 million) | Management continued assessing market demand for depositary services while evaluating the appropriate timing to proceed with the license application | Management continued assessing market demand for depositary services while evaluating the appropriate timing to proceed with the license application |
| Expansion of Governance and Compliance services team (US$1 million) | US$299k deployed towards team expansion, development of an online AML/CFT e-learning tool and an AML/CFT framework documentation service | US$52k deployed towards expansion of team |
| Setting up licensed fund administration in UAE (US$1 million) | US$80k deployed towards strategic opening of Kazakhstan office; in-principle approval was given for license application in UAE | License application process in South Africa is ongoing (refer to Market Expansion section) |
| Expansion of sales team in strategic locations (US$1.7 million) | US$811k further deployed towards increasing salesforce | US$783k further deployed towards increase in salesforce |
Financial Performance Overview
The Group benefits from stable and non-cyclical revenue streams, largely attributed to ongoing contracts with both open-ended and closed-ended fund clients. Open-ended fund clients offer perpetual contractual relationships, with their longevity contingent on avoiding substantial redemptions. In contrast, closed-ended fund clients typically engage in fixed-term investments with possible extensions (e.g., an initial three-year term with options for a three-year and a further one-year extension, or other durations as outlined in the fund's PPM). The usual duration of these closed-ended fund contracts ranges from five to seven years. Revenue for the Group is primarily derived from fees based on a percentage of AUM, subject to a minimum fee threshold. Alternatively, it can be a combination of a fixed minimum fee plus a variable component also based on AUM.
Consistent Recurring Revenues
AMIF's revenue is characterized by its predictability and regularity, underpinned by strong client retention. The Group’s role as a fund administrator affords it up-to-date financial insights on its clients, which aids in reducing the risk of unpaid fees.
Cashflow visibility
To comply with AML and KYC regulations in various jurisdictions, the Group, in its role as fund administrator, holds significant control over clients' bank accounts, either as the sole or joint signatory. This control extends to treasury management, where the Group manages and approves payments to entities like asset managers, legal advisors, auditors, custodians, and other service providers. This management of fund accounts not only limits bad debt but also enhances AMIF’s cash flow visibility and management, crucial for meeting financial obligations. The Group's approach to client service is marked by transparency, especially regarding fees, which minimizes disputes over charges.
Automation and improvement of profit margin
Since establishing a fund administration team in Bangalore in 2007, AMIF has focused on automating operations and improving efficiency. This has allowed the Group to manage an increasing number of funds without a significant rise in costs, thus maintaining or improving profit margins. This emphasis has seen the Group maintain its gross profit margin over 60% during the year as a result.
Client development
Client retention
AMIF’s fund clients and client structures typically have a lifespan of between five to ten years. Due to the nature of the Group’s business, it is difficult for its clients to replace service providers once they have been engaged for fund administration services. Transferring services to another provider involves time-consuming legal and administrative processes and additional costs for funds.
Diversification of client base
The Group has a well-diversified client base of more than 360 funds and client structures. Except for the Group’s arrangement with Amicorp Group pursuant to the Intragroup Outsourcing Agreement and the newly acquired BPO Customer, there is no further concentration risk on revenue and the Group’s top ten fund clients and structures have represented less than 10% of revenue for each of the last four years.
Cash position
As at the end of 2025, AMIF had circa US$ 3.5 million (2024: US$3.1 million) cash on hand whilst remaining debt free. The Group continues to allocate the IPO proceeds towards IT investments and business developments. This includes expanding the sales team, obtaining new licenses and expanding the Group’s G&C services division.

Senior management change
Effective 29 January 2026, Tat Cheung (Stephen) Wong stepped down as Group CFO and Executive Director, with Shane Gordon Anderson taking over the finance function. Shane, a SAICA Chartered Accountant with over 25 years of audit and accounting experience in the UK and South Africa, previously served as Finance Director at a fintech company and Head of Finance at a multinational fund services firm. Effective 6 March 2026, Robin Hoekjan stepped down as Group COO and Executive Director. The Group has started the process for a replacement and will update the market in due course.
Employee summary
The following table summarizes the Group’s employees by geographical location as at each year end:
| FY25 | FY24 | |
|---|---|---|
| Chile | 11 | 13 |
| Hong Kong | 4 | 8 |
| India | 20 | 35 |
| Mauritius | 5 | 11 |
| Luxembourg | 12 | 12 |
| Philippines | 82 | 115 |
| South Africa | 20 | - |
| Others | 17 | 24 |
| Total Group headcount | 171 | 218 |
The Group is committed to fostering a diverse workforce, encompassing individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, geographies, cultures, and experiences, while also ensuring the competitiveness of the team. Despite the increase in size of Luxembourg team because of the Group’s recognition of its importance as a strategic hub, the slight reduction in overall headcount (excluding acquisitions) came because of a comprehensive evaluation of employee performance, in alignment with the Group's continuous drive to optimize operations.This adjustment supports a strategic emphasis on sustaining a high-performing team, ensuring that resources are effectively aligned with the Group's key business goals.
Outlook
Looking ahead to 2026, the Group recognizes that heightened geo-political tensions are likely to introduce significant uncertainties into the market environment. Although the long-term outlook for the global economy remains broadly positive, these developments are expected to elevate investment risks and prompt investors to adopt a more conservative stance. As investment flows tend to directly influence the Group's business, such caution among investors could impact both the volume and nature of new mandates, requiring the Group to adapt its strategies accordingly.
The Group’s global footprint enables us to effectively diversify risk, as our presence across multiple markets helps to mitigate the impact of localized economic or political disruptions. Furthermore, the expansion of our service offering in capital markets provides an additional layer of diversification to our revenue streams, reducing dependence on any single business line or geographic region. This strategic approach strengthens the Group’s resilience and supports sustainable long-term growth.
While diversification assists in mitigating business risk and stabilizing revenue streams, overall growth remains closely tied to fundraising efforts, evolving regulatory frameworks, and ongoing demand for cross-border investment structuring. Consequently, the Group exercises continuous oversight of global developments and actively seeks opportunities to expand its investor base, thereby fostering sustained advancement within a challenging market landscape.
The Group is committed to investing in technology to boost efficiency and service quality. We regularly explore AI applications for operational workflows, fund administration, compliance, and data analysis. Our IT infrastructure is continually reviewed to improve client experience and internal operations. Through these strategic advancements, the Board is committed to ensuring the Group's sustained growth and operational strength. The ongoing implementation of key initiatives is intended to improve efficiency, facilitate margin recovery, and deliver value to stakeholders as the Group responds proactively to changing market conditions.

FINANCE AND OPERATION REVIEW
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The Group uses a number of both IFRS and non-IFRS KPIs to measure its performance. The Group operates a framework whereby the same KPIs are monitored throughout the business, be that at divisional or jurisdictional level. These KPIs used may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Group constantly reviews its management information and KPIs to ensure that the Board has adequate and appropriate oversights of the business. If necessary, the Group might plan to introduce necessary non-financial KPIs in FY25.
IFRS KPIs
Revenue and segment results are reviewed by the Group on a regular basis to assess performance. These are assessed at a Group, divisional and jurisdictional level. These KPIs are monitored against budgets and targets. For details of IFRS KPIs, please refer to the Financial Overview section.
Non-IFRS KPIs
The principal non-IFRS KPIs that the Directors believe have had, and will continue to have, a material effect on its operations, results and financial condition include:
• Client base;
• Payroll and remuneration costs as a percentage of revenue; and
• Operational efficiency.
Client Base
| FY25 | FY24 | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of funds at start of year | 294 | 365 |
| New Funds | 142 | 22 |
| Funds terminated | (105) | (36) |
| Adjustment of opening funds | - | (57) |
| Number of funds at year end | 331 | 294 |
(1) The comparative from FY24 was shown as 501 in the Annual Report last year. The difference of 136 funds relates to a change in the way the Group monitors this KPI. Previously all funds which had signed a preliminary letter of engagement were included even if the fund had not yet been onboarded. The Group now tracks the number of funds which have been onboarded and are waiting to be launched as well as active funds.
(2) In the prior year the number of funds at year end was 567 the difference of 273 funds is for the same reason as (1) above
32
Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
The number of active funds has grown organically at an annualized rate of 12.6% , reflecting the continued momentum from the investment in its salesforce as well as the ability of the group to leverage new client introductions and work referrals from Amicorp Group and its affiliated businesses, and from the Group's established referral relationships with on-shore and off-shore legal advisers, asset management businesses, independent advisors and consultants, accounting firms and other professional intermediaries.
While the growth in number of new wins is in line with management’s expectation arising from the investment in the Group’s salesforce, the Group experienced an increase in the level of terminations in 2025 which arose from the following:
• Withdrawal of investors’ commitment or investment owing to unfavourable market conditions;
• Voluntary closure of funds due to restructuring or changes in investment strategy; and
• Clean-up of non-revenue generating launching funds which no longer seek to fund-raise.
Funds in the launching phase have increased by a net of 8 funds during the year with 27% of the launching funds at the start of the year converting to active, offset by terminations of launching funds. It is also important to note that a major portion of recurring income from fund administration services is only realized upon successful fund launch. The timing of fund launch is influenced by external factors like fund raising capability of fund managers, approval process of relevant authorities, economic conditions and market sentiment.
The total number of funds represents the adjusted position after removing funds from the reporting that never went live (the 'Clean-up') in H1-2025 The Clean-up was part of a strategic housekeeping exercise to reduce resource consumption and compliance burden tied to inactive funds, improve transparency of reporting, and shift management's focus toward active and revenue-generating mandates.
Payroll and remuneration costs as a percentage of revenue
The largest expense incurred by the Group relates to payroll and remuneration costs, which comprise salaries and wages and discretionary bonuses that are paid to staff that meet their respective targets. The Group monitors payroll and remuneration costs as a percentage of revenue, with the historical trend as follows:
| 2025 (US$'000) | 2024 (US$'000) | |
|---|---|---|
| Payroll and remuneration costs | 9,741 | 9,067 |
| Revenue | 16,881 | 15,616 |
| Payroll and remuneration costs as a percentage of revenue | 58.1% | 57.7% |
Payroll and remuneration costs increased by US$674k, or 7.4%, to US$9.8 million in FY25, compared to US$9.1 million in FY24. The major incremental payroll and remuneration costs represents the expansion of the Capital Market business, contributing an additional US$408k in FY25.

The Group continues to invest in senior sales employees to strengthen outreach to potential customers in key strategic locations, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg and Brazil. Operations and compliance teams have been reinforced to support new business opportunities from ongoing sales and marketing efforts, alongside local fiscal, tax and economic reforms. This expansion remains essential to building a robust pipeline for future organic growth. Consistent with the IPO strategy, investment in human capital will continue. While it has created short-term pressure on profitability, the Board regularly reviews performance to ensure long-term sustainable growth and competitiveness.
Operational efficiency
Operational efficiency is another key metric the Group regularly reviews to maximize resource .utilisation and drive down costs. The Group has policies in place where it is mandatory for client facing and back office employees (together, ‘Operational Employees’) to submit timesheets on a weekly basis so that the Group can better monitor employees' time spent on standard tasks. The Group measures operational efficiency of its Fund Administration division by computing the number of funds handled by each Operational Employee under that division (‘Fund Operational Employee’):
| FY25 | FY24 | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of funds | 331 | 294 |
| Number of Fund Operational Employees | 57 | 66 |
| Number of funds per Operational Employee | 5.8 | 4.5 |
The number of funds handled by each Operational Employee has increased from 4.5 in 2024 to 5.8 in 2025. Such improvement represents the result of the Group’s efforts in standardization of workflow, system automation and enhancement of operation process. The Group believes that successful maintenance of such levels of operational efficiency is essential to display the scalable characteristic of its business model. It also lays the foundation for AMIF to execute its organic and inorganic growth strategies.

Revenue for FY25 increased to US$16.9 million, representing an 8.1% increase compared to US$15.6 million in FY24 driven by the following:
Fund administration revenue remained in line with prior year at US$7.9 million which reflects resilient underlying activity despite a challenging market environment. Although there was an increase in the number of active funds compared to the prior year most funds that transitioned to active status did so later in the period, while the beginning of the year saw increased fund closures and terminations as investors redeemed from or withdrew interest in operating funds amid ongoing market uncertainty. Fund launch activity remained subdued, with persistently elevated inflation continuing to weigh on investor sentiment and constrain fundraising efforts.
BPO Services revenue grew strongly by 16.7% to US$7.1 million in FY25 (FY24: US$6.1 million). The increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of revenue from Capital Markets contracts that were novated from the Amicorp Group in April 2025. This incremental revenue more than offset the loss of the Portfolio Services revenue, which was only recognized up to June 2025 following the termination of this outsource the Amicorp Group. In addition, the business delivered modest organic growth over the course of the year. While the combined impact of Capital Markets and Portfolio Services revenue contributed to the increase in FY25, the revenue growth is anticipated to normalize in FY26.
G&C Services revenue increased by 14.5% to US$1.9 million in FY25 (FY24: US$1.6 million), reflecting the Group’s strategic focus on expanding AML-related and directorship services as complementary offerings to its fund administration clients. During FY25, the Group prioritized resources toward targeted investment funds domiciled in Hong Kong, Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands, aiming to capitalize on the growing demands arising from the fast-changing regulatory requirements. While these services were primarily provided to existing clients, the Group has taken steps to broaden its reach by introducing new offerings, such as AML/CFT e-learning tool and AML/CFT framework documentation services, with the potential for expansion as stand-alone services to external clients over the longer term.
Revenue by geography for the year ended 31 December
| 2025 (US$'000) | 2024 (US$'000) | |
|---|---|---|
| LatAm | 2,371 | 2,366 |

| MEAI ¹ | 9,250 | 9,266 |
| Total | 16,881 | 15,616 |
¹ MEAI refers to geographical region of Middle East, Asia and India.
The Group’s geographical revenues from the business remained largely consistent across FY24 and FY25 with a larger increase in Europe attributed to the spread of the Capital Markets business across the regions. Such movement is in line with the Group’s expectations and supports its long-term business goals by reducing the impact of short-term market volatility. By maintaining a balanced geographical revenue mix, the Group ensures its portfolio benefits from the growth potential of different regions over time while mitigating country-specific risks, sector-specific challenges, and everyday competitive pressures.

| Gross profit margins | 51.6% | 78.7% | 59.4% | 63.0% |
Fund Administration maintained a stable gross profit margin of 51.2% in FY25 (FY24: 51.6%), demonstrating resilience in a challenging market environment, despite revenue remaining flat year on year.
The BPO segment delivered the largest increase in revenue, rising by US$1.0m, at a reduced profit margin of 73.8% in FY25 (FY24: 78.7%). This growth was driven by the Group’s expansion of its client base beyond traditional fund structures, through the onboarding of more than 30 new mandates novated from the Amicorp Group, primarily relating to capital market participants, following the common control acquisitions completed in FY24. This diversification strengthens the Group’s position as a one‑stop solution provider, broadens its revenue base, and reduces reliance on fund launches alone. The enhanced service capability demonstrates management’s strategic focus on capturing a wider spectrum of financial instruments and client types.
The G&C segment delivered a gross profit margin of 65.9% in FY25 (FY24: 59.4%) following a 14.5% increase in revenue. The strategy remains to expand this service across existing clients and the new jurisdictions further enhancing margins through continued focus on cost discipline, and the realization of synergies from the FY24 acquisitions and recent team expansions.
The Group’s overall gross profit margin was 62.3% in FY25 (FY24: 63.0%), with the slight reduction primarily attributable to the BPO segment. Overall, margins continue to reflect strong operational leverage and growth.

Payroll and remuneration costs
Payroll and remuneration costs increased by 7.4% from US$9.1 million in FY24 to US$9.7 million driven by an increase in direct staff costs of $410k related to additional staff in BPO responsible for Capital Market services. Please refer to non-IFRS KPIs section above for details of movement of payroll and remuneration costs.
Rent and occupancy
Rent and occupancy costs increased by 24.4%, to US$749k in FY25 (FY24: US$602k). This line item includes costs recharged by Amicorp Group for subletting and property services provided to the Group under various intercompany service agreements. The increase was largely due an increase in costs charged for offices such as Singapore and Brazil due to team size.
Professional fees
Professional fees of US$1.8 million in FY25 were in line with prior year (FY24: US$1.8 million). Professional fees primarily comprise accounting, audit and tax compliance service fees for certain subsidiaries of the Group, legal fees for licensing applications and legalization of documents, as well as professional outsourcing relating to ordinary business operations.
IT expenses
IT expenses comprise of the fees incurred for the use of the fund administration systems, Bloomberg terminal and other business-related systems. IT expenses decreased from US$657k in FY24 to US$636k in FY25. The cost of investing in the AMI-GO development and NAV automation projects was more than offset by savings in subscription fees on the local fund administration system in Chile as part of the Group’s initiative to centralize the usage of its global system.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses remained stable at US$2.0 million in FY25 (FY24: US$2.0 million). Other operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses, travelling expenses, statutory fees, office expenses, bad debts and other administrative expenses. The current year included US$400k of irrecoverable VAT FY24 (US$:0) partially offset by a reduction in bad debts of US$110k, a once-off impairment charge of US$137k that was recorded in FY24. The Group continued its marketing efforts through direct client interactions, active participation in professional associations and organisations, and sponsoring business development events to enhance its market presence and expand its client base however a reduced number of sales staff compared to FY24 and improved cost discipline achieved resulted in a reduction of $190k in these costs during the year. Excluding these items, the underlying expense base remained broadly stable year-on-year. As is customary for professional services firms, the Group continued to purchase Professional indemnity insurance to protect the business.
Foreign exchange gain (loss)
During the current year, the Group recorded a net foreign exchange gain of $273k compared to a net loss of $239k in the prior year. These amounts relate to realised and unrealised transactional foreign exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and the retranslation of monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date.

Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
Income tax
Income tax expense increased in FY25 to US$582k (FY24: US$353k), primarily due to the growth in taxable profit and the write off of Deferred tax assets that had been brough forward from prior year. As a result, the Group’s effective tax rate as a percentage of profit before income tax in FY25 was 27.5% (FY24: 33.5%). The Group has accumulated unused tax losses of US$11.8 million for which no deferred tax assets have been raised (FY24: US$8.1 million). Such tax losses, if utilised, could benefit the tax position of the Group in the future.# RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board has overall responsibility for oversight of the risk management policies of the Group and the operation of the Group-wide risk management framework to assure that the framework is commensurate with the Group’s structure, risk profile, complexity, activities and size, as well as providing oversight of the Group’s capital planning and liquidity risk management. Currently, the Group’s compliance and risk management function is carried out by the Group’s compliance teams in Bangalore and Mauritius which assess all clients individually in terms of AML/CFT risks. In certain licensed jurisdictions, the Group is required to have local compliance officers, who are the primary responsible persons in those jurisdictions and are answerable to the relevant regulators. The Group’s local compliance officers are supported by the compliance team on day-to-day operations. The Group’s COO has overall responsibility for oversight and implementation of the Group’s risk management policies as well as approving any exceptions.
Risk case study: Risks associated with ordinary business
At present, the Group applies a ‘risk-based’ approach to evaluate the AML/CFT risks of different stakeholders within a client’s structure, such as investors, asset managers and advisors. The parameters of the approach include, among others, complexity of fund structures, source of wealth (‘SOW’), investors’ nationalities, source of fund (SoF’) and asset size. All the Group’s clients (investors and fund managers) are ranked within the Group’s system as per the Group’s ‘risk-based’ approach and are continuously evaluated according to their risk profile. The Group’s AML risk controls consist of:
- its fund administration system with identifiable risk of clients and investors;
- its operational team to identify unusual and suspicious activities among clients;
- its independent compliance team to implement the Group’s risk management policy;
- its local compliance officers as check-and-balance in licensed jurisdictions; and
- board oversight on implementation of the risk management policy.
As a professional service provider, the Group unavoidably assumes certain fiduciary responsibilities as part of its ordinary business. Given the nature of these responsibilities, legal claims may arise from disputes with clients, disputes among stakeholders within a client’s structure, regulatory matters, or other business-related complexities. To address these legal risks, the Group has an internal communication channel in place for local offices and compliance officers to identify potential and actual legal claims and escalate them to senior management and the Board. The Board, in turn, determines the appropriate course of action, which may include engaging local legal professionals for jurisdiction-specific guidance, managing legal proceedings, and, where necessary, making public disclosures or statements to inform stakeholders and the market.

Principal risks
The Group faces various operational and strategic risks, including fiduciary responsibilities, regulatory compliance, dependence on key personnel, performance risks, client relationship management, growth and acquisition challenges, IT security, and market competition. Managing these risks is crucial for maintaining the Group's financial stability and operational integrity.
| Risk | How AMIF manages and mitigates the risk |
|---|---|
| Financial reporting risk: There is a risk that the Group fails to accurately prepare and submit required financial results within prescribed regulatory timeframes. Such a failure could arise from weaknesses in financial reporting controls, systems limitations, inadequate resourcing, or delays in consolidation and review processes. If realized the Group could face regulatory sanctions or fines and experience reputational damage resulting in reduced stakeholder, investor, and client confidence leading to a decrease in the Company’s share price and overall valuation and an increased cost of capital. | The group maintains financial reporting policies and timetables aligned with applicable regulatory requirements, supported by effective internal controls over financial reporting, including segregation of duties and management review. The Group ensures that the finance function is adequately resourced with suitably qualified and experienced personnel and operates a structured month‑end and period‑end close process with defined accountability and escalation procedures. Financial results are subject to review by senior management and the Audit Committee prior to submission or publication, and external auditors and technical advisors are engaged where necessary to support compliance with complex or evolving regulatory standards. The Board will undertake a full review of the late filing of the FY2025 annual report and take the appropriate course of action to ensure the controls as described are effective and operating appropriately. The new team in Cape Town are now fully staffed and operational. |

| Risk | How AMIF manages and mitigates the risk |
|---|---|
| Legal and Regulatory Risk: Operating across multiple jurisdictions exposes the Group to differing and evolving legal and regulatory requirements, increasing the potential for disputes, investigations, and litigation. Non-compliance could result in sanctions, financial penalties, reputational damage, and reduced client confidence. Key exposures include Anti-Money Laundering, counter-terrorist financing, sanctions compliance, data protection, and client onboarding standards. A risk-based approach to AML and KYC ensures enhanced due diligence and ongoing monitoring for higher-risk clients and transactions, supported by the Group’s enterprise-wide risk management framework. Regulatory change remains a significant driver of the Group’s operating environment. New or amended rules may raise barriers to entry, alter competitive dynamics, or increase compliance costs. Where regulatory developments materially increase the cost of compliance, the Group seeks to pass such additional costs on to clients in a fair and transparent manner. | Procedures are designed to meet applicable regulatory requirements, but full assurance of compliance cannot be guaranteed. Residual risk remains that regulatory breaches could lead to investigations, sanctions, or adverse impacts on the Group’s reputation and operations. The Group maintains professional indemnity insurance to mitigate the financial consequences of potential disputes, legal proceedings, or claims, including associated costs, fines, penalties, and expenses. An internal communication channel ensures that any publicly available legal cases involving the Group are promptly escalated to management. Where jurisdiction-specific expertise is required, the Group engages local legal professionals to provide guidance and manage proceedings. |

| Risk | How AMIF manages and mitigates the risk |
|---|---|
| Fiduciary Risk: The Group, acting as directors and AML officers for fund clients, faces legal risks. In addition, professional indemnity insurance is purchased to protect the business. Breaches could lead to claims, sanctions, or material adverse effects on the business. The provision of fiduciary and administration services will generally involve the service provider having control over client assets such as bank accounts and registered investments. The risk of internal fraud in managing client assets remains, potentially leading to claims and regulatory sanctions. | Policies and procedures are in place to manage obligations and decision-making responsibilities. AMIF operates procedures to control the transfer of client assets and key control tools which ensure that decisions made by the business divisions are thoroughly documented, reviewed and approved at the appropriate levels. Measures taken by the Group to verify the probity and integrity of all staff on joining the business are designed to mitigate this risk. These procedures also help identify, manage and monitor client, transactional, operational and internal risks in the business, allowing only senior employees to authorize the transfer of funds or assets. |
| Reputation Risk: As a provider of fiduciary and administration services in highly regulated markets, the Group’s business depends on maintaining the trust and confidence of its clients, regulators, and stakeholders. Any perception of misconduct, legacy issues, or association with adverse events, regardless of legal outcome, can negatively impact the Group’s reputation and affect client retention, new business acquisition, or regulatory standing. | AMIF maintains a strong governance framework to monitor emerging risks and legal developments, and where legacy matters attract public or legal attention, the Board ensures appropriate management response. These matters may not reflect the Group’s current practices but are addressed transparently through legal, compliance and communications channels. The Group also prioritizes proactive communication with clients, robust internal controls, and oversight mechanisms to safeguard its reputation and long-term sustainability. |
| Dependency on Key Personnel: The Group's success heavily relies on its senior management and qualified personnel. Loss of key staff could disrupt business, affect client retention, and impact growth and competitive position. | While AMIF seeks to ensure that its compensation packages are competitive, there can be no assurance that the Group’s business, strategy and compensation packages will continue to enable the Group to secure high quality employees in all Group locations and this could adversely affect the quality of the services that AMIF is able to provide to its clients. |
Performance Risks:
Complex activities of AMIF implements internal control frameworks, including reconciliation processes, multi-level clients increase the risk of staff errors, reviews and exception reporting to detect and potentially leading to financial losses, correct errors promptly. The Group also fosters regulatory sanctions, and reputational damage. a strong culture of accountability and ethical Misconduct or negligence by staff could further conduct, reinforced by clear policies and exacerbate these risks. whistleblowing mechanisms to deter misconduct. Additionally, AMIF leverages advanced technology solutions to streamline complex workflows and minimize manual intervention, reducing the likelihood of errors while ensuring robust regulatory compliance and operational resilience.

A Employees responsible for client relations and significant portion of revenue comes from business development interact with existing existing clients. Failure to maintain these clients and intermediaries regularly via calls relationships or to gain new clients through and physical meetings. Building and referrals could adversely affect business and maintaining relationships through verbal communication remains invaluable in client financial performance. retention and acquisition.

ESG Materiality Assessment
AMIF conducted an ESG Materiality Assessment in FY2024 to identify and prioritize ESG factors most relevant to its business and stakeholders. The assessment aligns with SASB, GRI, and London Stock Exchange ESG disclosure requirements and continues to inform FY2025 disclosures.
Approach and Methodology
A structured, stakeholder-informed approach was applied, incorporating engagement with employees, clients, and management, supported by peer benchmarking and Board-level ESG workshops. ESG topics were assessed using a scoring methodology based on stakeholder importance and consolidated into a materiality matrix reflecting relative importance to the business and stakeholders.
Key Outcomes
- Governance: Professional Integrity & Ethics emerged as the most material governance topic.
- Social: Training & Education was identified as a top priority for enhancing workforce capabilities.
Environmental: While all identified environmental topics were deemed material, none were categorized as having the highest priority.
ESG Material Matters ranking by business and stakeholders
The two stakeholder groups’ respective top ten potential ESG material matters were ranked by each group as follows:

Strategic Priorities in 2026
To address key ESG priorities, AMIF is committed to:
* Enhancing employee engagement and training and education programs to support employee development.
* Expanding the ESG Policy towards a principles-based approach to climate-related risks, opportunities and energy management strategies
* Conducting a refreshed ESG Materiality Assessment, incorporating a double materiality approach to assess both financial and impact materiality
TASK FORCE ON CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES (TCFD)
AMIF applies the TCFD framework to support transparent disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities. As a global, people-centric business operating in fund administration and fiduciary services, exposure to climate risk is primarily indirect, arising through jurisdictions, regulatory environments, and client activity. During 2025, AMIF continued to enhance its approach to identifying, assessing, and managing climate-related risks, with a focus on improving integration within existing Amicorp Group Governance and Risk frameworks.
Governance
The Board retains overall oversight of ESG and climate-related matters, supported by the Group Risk Committee and ESG Working Group. Climate considerations are incorporated into existing governance and risk discussions.
Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
A combined top-down and bottom-up approach is applied, with local teams identifying jurisdiction-specific risks which are escalated through established reporting channels. Governance integration remains an area of ongoing development.
Strategy
AMIF assesses climate-related risks and opportunities across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons using a qualitative, scenario-informed approach.
Physical Risks: Exposure to acute weather events across jurisdictions including Brazil, Mexico, India, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands, Curaçao and the Bahamas. These may impact infrastructure, office accessibility and staff availability. However, the Group’s geographically diversified operating model and established business continuity arrangements mitigate the risk of sustained disruption.
Transition Risks: Arise from evolving regulatory requirements, increasing disclosure expectations, and shifting market dynamics, particularly in jurisdictions such as Luxembourg, Mexico and Chile. These may influence compliance obligations, operating costs, and client activity over time. AMIF also considers broader macroeconomic impacts associated with climate change, including potential effects on economic activity, population distribution, and capital flows, which may influence the long-term attractiveness of jurisdictions. The Group’s global footprint and operational flexibility support resilience and continuity of service.
Risk Management
Climate-related risks are incorporated within AMIF’s existing risk management and compliance frameworks and aligned with the Group’s Enterprise Risk Management approach. Risk identification is driven by regulatory monitoring, market developments, client engagement, and inputs from local teams, ensuring jurisdiction-specific exposures are captured and escalated through established channels.Mitigation is supported through established business continuity and disaster recovery frameworks, remote operating capabilities, and ongoing investment in systems and controls. Insurance arrangements are periodically reviewed, and engagement with regulators and clients supports alignment with evolving expectations.
Priorities, Metrics and Targets
AMIF continues to develop its approach to climate-related metrics and disclosures, recognizing current limitations in data availability and consistency. Key focus areas include:
- GHG emissions: Continued disclosure of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with incremental improvement in Scope 3 data, particularly in relation to business travel, alongside efforts to enhance data accuracy and completeness
- Data and reporting: Strengthening internal data collection processes to establish a more reliable baseline to support future target setting
- Operational efficiency: Ongoing initiatives to reduce environmental impact through paperless processes, waste management, energy efficiency, and resource management across jurisdictions
- Risk integration: Further alignment of climate-related considerations within the Group’s Enterprise Risk Management framework and governance processes
51 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
- Business continuity: Continued strengthening of business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities to support resilience across jurisdictions
While formal climate-related targets have not yet been established, AMIF is focused on improving data quality and internal processes to support the development of a robust baseline from which future targets can be defined.
Summary
AMIF’s 2025 TCFD disclosure reflects continued progress in embedding climate-related considerations within its governance, strategy, and risk management frameworks. Climate risk management remains at an evolving stage. AMIF has prioritized the integration of climate-related factors within existing structures and continues to enhance the clarity and consistency of its disclosures. Future development will focus on improving data completeness, strengthening risk assessment capabilities, and supporting more decision-useful disclosures over time, in line with regulatory expectations and market practice.
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (‘SECR’)
AMIF is committed to transparent disclosure of its energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in alignment with the Green House Gas Protocol. This section provides an overview of AMIF’s FY2025 emissions profile and year-on-year movements across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. Total GHG emissions increased from 98.68 tCO₂e in FY2024 to 141.13 tCO₂e in FY2025, representing a 43% year-on-year increase. This movement is primarily driven by changes in Scope 3 emissions, alongside ongoing enhancements in data accuracy and boundary definition across certain categories.
At a category level:
| Category | F2024 Total Co2e | F2025 Total Co2e | Changes % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 (1) Gas | 9.40 | Not reported | n/a |
| Scope 1 Petrol Cars | 4.97 | 4.37 | -12% |

| Scope 3 Paper | 0.40 | 0.06 | -85% |

52 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
In summary on a like for like basis (excluding where data was not available) the change is shown below:
| Category | F2024 Total Co2e | F2025 Total Co2e | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 4.97 | 4.37 | -12% |
| Scope 2 | 19.22 | 19.14 | -0.42% |
| Scope 3 | 64.45 | 117.62 | 83% |
| Total | 88.64 | 141.13 | 59% |
Reasons for movement in 2025
- Scope 1 emissions decreased as a result of a modest reduction in fuel use from petrol vehicles.
- Scope 2 emissions remained broadly stable, reflecting improved electricity allocation through refined apportionment approaches across offices, rather than a material change in underlying consumption.
- Scope 3 emissions increased materially, driven predominantly by business travel (air), which rose in line with the expansion of the sales function. Water-related emissions increased from a low base, primarily reflecting improved apportionment.
In F25, Amicorp reported total energy consumption of 108,156 kWh with an employee intensity of 1,386.6 kWh per employee. Year-on-year comparisons show a decline from F24’s 177,856kWh and 2,736 kWh intensity per employee, reflecting adjustments in estimation methods and data refinement. While overall consumption decreased, the intensity per employee remained largely influenced by refinements in data and allocation methods, rather than reflecting a material change in underlying energy efficiency.
Moving forward, AMIF aims to enhance data accuracy and implement targeted energy reduction initiatives were reasonably practicable. The Group will prioritize enhancing the completeness of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data in FY2026, alongside implementing additional reviews to strengthen accuracy, transparency, consistency and completeness. In parallel, targeted guidance and training will be provided to local offices to support improved emissions data capture and to identify opportunities for reducing the Group’s overall emissions footprint.
Compliance Statement (pursuant to Section 14.3.27R of the Listing Rule)
The disclosures in this Annual Report are aligned with the TCFD Recommendations and Recommended Disclosures. Reasonable steps have been taken to ensure that disclosures are made where relevant and practicable.

GOVERNANCE REPORT
Introduction
In my role as Chair, my primary responsibility is to guide the Board to ensure that AMIF establishes and maintains a strategy, workforce, governance structure, and culture that are all geared towards generating value for shareholders and other stakeholders in the medium to long term. The Directors are keenly aware of the significance of transparent corporate governance and have therefore opted to adopt the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code (the ‘QCA Code’). The core tenet of the QCA Code is that "effective corporate governance is a key mechanism for enhancing the long-term value of the Company for shareholders."
This report set out how the Company adheres to the principal governance guidelines set out in the 2024 QCA Code. The Board acknowledges the late filing of the FY2025 Annual Report and will conduct a review of all factors that led to the delay to ensure that if required any appropriate remediation takes place to prevent reoccurrence in the future. We have transparently indicated where our practices diverge from the QCA Code's expectations and provide a rationale for why such deviations are justified for the Group. We keep a close watch on the practical application and interpretation of the QCA Code to make sure we consistently align with its essential principles.

Board Committees Overview
Our Board is reinforced by the Audit and Remuneration Committees, each with specific roles as outlined below. 59 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, led by Patrick Byron as Chair, consists of independent non-executive Directors. This committee is chiefly responsible for overseeing the integrity of internal controls and ensuring accurate measurement and reporting of the Company’s financial performance. It reviews reports from both the Company’s executive management and auditors regarding interim and annual financial statements, as well as internal control systems across the Group. The Audit Committee meets at least three times annually, aligning with the reporting and audit schedule.
Remuneration Committee
Chaired by Kathy Byrne, the Remuneration Committee consists of independent non-executive Directors that evaluate the performance of the Company’s executive directors and Chairman of the Board. It advises the board on their remuneration and terms of service. This committee convenes a minimum of twice each year. Details of Remuneration Report can be found on page 68.
Share Dealing Code
Following its Admission, AMIF has implemented a share dealing code applicable to the Directors and certain employees, in accordance with the UK version of the Market Abuse Regulation and the AIM Rules for Companies, especially concerning dealings during close periods. AMIF is committed to ensuring compliance by the Directors and applicable employees with this code.
Director Re-election Process
During each Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’), we present all Directors for re-election, ensuring continuous evaluation and accountability.
Director Information and Professional Development
Every Director has been thoroughly briefed on their roles, responsibilities, and liabilities by the Group's adviser, specifically tailored to their position in a listed company. AMIF actively encourages its directors to stay informed about industry developments and to participate in training programs that aid them in their roles. In addition to formal Board meetings, the Non-Executive Chairman is readily accessible to other Non-Executive Directors for discussions about any concerns they might have regarding the Group or their specific responsibilities. The Non-Executive Chairman ensures they are well-informed about ongoing matters related to the Group’s operations.
Board Performance Assessment and Evaluation
The Non-Executive Chairman continuously conducts informal evaluations of the Board and its Directors' performance. This process involves identifying areas for enhancement and ensuring the Board's composition is appropriate for the Group's scale and complexity, given its balance of skills, experience, independence, and knowledge. This ongoing assessment is a key aspect of AMIF’s governance structure, and for now, the Board will continue with this method of self-evaluation. 60 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3

Accountability and Audit Framework
Risk Management and Internal Control Systems
The Board bears the ultimate responsibility for the Group’s internal control system, which encompasses risk management. The effectiveness of these internal controls is overseen by the Audit Committee, a delegation from the Board. The Audit Committee is tasked with scrutinizing the internal control mechanisms, which include systems, policies, and processes concerning tendering, authorization of expenditure, fraud prevention, and the internal audit strategy. It is important to note that the internal control system aims to manage the risk of not meeting business objectives rather than eliminating it entirely, thereby offering reasonable but not absolute assurance against significant misstatement or loss.

REMUNERATION REPORT
Remuneration Report
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Company’s Remuneration Committee Report for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Company has committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and propose, so far as is practicable given the Company's size, nature, and stage of development to comply with the provisions of the QCA Code and has prepared this report with regard to the QCA Remuneration & Nominations Committee Guide for small and mid-sized quoted companies, revised in 2020.
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee comprises Kathy Byrne (Chair) and Patrick Byron, both of whom have been deemed by the Board to be independent. The Terms of Reference for the Remuneration Committee are reviewed and approved annually by the Board. There were no changes during 2025.
Alongside the Company’s overall remuneration policy, the committee determines the remuneration policy for executive directors and Chairman of the Board and makes recommendations to the Board on matters relating to their remuneration and terms of service. It also makes recommendations to the Board on proposals for the granting of share options and other equity incentives pursuant to any employee share option scheme or equity incentive plans in operation from time to time.The Committee met three times during 2025 and the key activities of the Committee during the year included:
• review and approval of the Directors’ Remuneration report
• assessment of the performance of the Executive Directors against the corporate financial performance for annual bonuses
• review and approval of salaries for Executive Directors and Chairman
• introducing a Long-Term Incentive Plan was considered again and it was agreed that it was not appropriate to introduce one at the current time. This is subject to annual review with the aim of introducing one when appropriate.
• introducing Share Option Plans was considered again. The Group intends to establish one or more employee share option plans for the retention of executive directors and employees. However, the current market conditions do not support the implementation of such plans currently.
• a new Compensation Structure was implemented with the aim to align executive director’s interests with the company's goals. As a first step, base salaries were kept at 2024 levels with a higher potential bonus pool for exceeding corporate financial targets.
• considering the application of the remuneration policy for 2026. During 2026 personal financial and non- financial targets will be included in the bonus scheme.
Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Policy is intended to fit the current size and profile of the Group, to support the achievement of the Group’s operational, business, financial and strategic objectives and align the interests of the Directors with shareholders over the short and longer term. To achieve its goals, the Group seeks to provide competitive overall pay, split between fixed and performance-related elements. Performance related remuneration for Executive directors for 2025 was an annual bonus scheme linked to Organic Revenue growth and EBITDA growth. Whilst there was an intention to introduce a long term incentive plan it was not appropriate to do so for 2025 and will be revisited when appropriate.

Historical Share Price Performance Comparison
The share price of the Company has exhibited limited movement during the reporting period. Management do not believe that it is an indicator of poor performance or a lack of intrinsic value. But rather is a result of the Company having a small free float, meaning there is limited public market for the Company’s shares and therefore minimal trading. The Board continues to monitor market conditions and will review this disclosure annually to ensure it remains relevant and compliant with regulatory requirements.

Consideration of Shareholder Views
The Board considers shareholder feedback received and guidance from shareholder bodies. This feedback, plus any additional feedback received from time to time, is considered as part of the Company’s annual policy on remuneration.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Directors’ Report
The directors submit their report together with the audited consolidated financial statements of Amicorp FS (UK) Plc (the ‘Company’) and its subsidiaries (together, the ‘Group’) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Company Information
The Company is a publicly listed company incorporated and domiciled in England & Wales. Its registered offices are in 3rd Floor, 5 Lloyds Avenue, London EC3N 3AE. On 8 June 2023, the Company announced the admission of the Company’s entire issued share capital to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority by way of a Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market for listed securities (“Admission”). In July 2024, the Company moved to the equity shares (transition) category according to the new Listing Rules. The Company’s shares are listed under the ticker “AMIF”.
The Company’s principal activity is to act as the holding company of the Group. The principal activity of the Group is the provision of Fund Administration, Business Process Outsourcing, and Governance and Compliance services for investment funds, asset managers and family offices.
Results
The profit for the year before taxation amounted to US$2,603,000 (2024 restated: US$1,053,000).
Dividends
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend for the year (2024: nil). AMIF has established a stable dividend policy framework that will seek to maximize shareholder value and reflect its strong earnings potential and cash flow characteristics, while allowing it to retain sufficient capital to fund ongoing operating requirements and to invest in the Group’s long-term growth. There is currently no fixed ratio on dividend pay-out but this is something the Board will consider as AMIF grows.
Bonus Issue
The Board recognizes the value of dividends to shareholders but in order to preserve cash for on-going growth, the Company intends to return value by way of a bonus issue to shareholders (the ‘Bonus Issue’). The Bonus Issue would equate to 718,562 ordinary shares of US$0.001 each in the capital of the Company (in aggregate) valued at approximately US$1.2 million based on a share price of US$1.67, being the closing share price of the Company on 24 September 2025. Shareholders on the register on 24 September 2025 will be entitled to receive shares pursuant to the Bonus Issue. The Bonus Issue will be subject to shareholder approval.
Directors’ Liability Insurance and Indemnities
During the year, the Group maintained insurance cover for its Directors and Officers under a Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance policy. The Group has not provided any qualifying indemnity cover for the Directors. 74 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3

Post Balance Sheet Events
Details of post balance sheet events are disclosed in note 26 of the consolidated financial statements. In relation to the current conflict in Iran the Company has no direct operations, assets, or employees in the affected region. There is no material disruption to the Company's supply chains, customer base, or key counterparties. The Company has limited indirect exposure to oil/energy price volatility or shipping routes (including the Strait of Hormuz), which is not expected to have a significant effect on business. The Company has no meaningful exposure to sanctions that would affect its business, and there are no issues with insurance coverage (including war risk) or counterparty risks arising from the situation. There has been no material change to the Company's financial condition, business performance, or sphere of activity. Accordingly, the Board considers that the current situation in Iran and any related escalation in the Middle East is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's operations, financial performance, or prospects.

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report, Report of the Directors 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 consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Group and the Company and the profit or loss of the Group and the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable, relevant and reliable;
• present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant reliable, comparable and understandable information;
• state whether applicable UK adopted international accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 76 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue in business; and
• use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 Group and Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Directors are responsible for such internal controls as they determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement. Whether due to fraud or error and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations, the Directors are also responsible for preparing a Strategic Report, Directors’ Report and Corporate Governance Report that comply with that law and those regulations. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.# Directors’ Responsibility Statement Pursuant to Disclosure and Transparent Rules
Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed on page 75 confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:
- The financial statements of the Company and the Group, which have been prepared in accordance with the applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Group and Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole; and
- the Strategic Report and Directors’ Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that they face.
77 78

Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Amicorp FS (UK) Plc (the ‘Parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise of the following:
| Group | Parent Company |
|---|---|
| Consolidated statement of comprehensive income | Statement of financial position |

Material accounting policy information
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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remain independent of the Group and the Parent 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 as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the Group and the Parent Company and we remain independent of the Group and the Parent Company in conducting our audit.
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. Our evaluation of the Directors’ assessment of the Group and the Parent Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
- Challenging the rationale for the assumptions utilised in the forecasts with a focus on reviewing possible downside scenarios to assess whether the forecasts prepared by the Directors’ are reasonable;
- Considering the appropriateness of the Directors’ forecasts by testing their mathematical accuracy, assessing historical forecasting accuracy and understanding the Directors’ consideration of downside sensitivity analysis and reverse stress testing;
80
Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
- Reperforming sensitivities on the Directors’ base case and stressed case scenarios, considering the likelihood of these occurring, and understanding and challenging the mitigating actions the Directors’ would take under these scenarios;
- Assessment of adequacy and appropriateness of disclosures in the financial statements; and
- Assessing the going concern disclosures against the requirements of the accounting standards, and assessing the consistency of the disclosures with the Directors’ forecasts and assessment
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 and 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. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Group and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In relation to the Group’s reporting on how it has applied the UK Corporate Governance Code, we have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to the Directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether the Directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

An overview of the scope of our audit
Our Group audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the Group and its environment, the applicable financial reporting framework and the Group’s system of internal control. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the Group financial statements including with respect to the consolidation process. We then applied professional judgement to focus our audit procedures on the areas that posed the greatest risks to the group financial statements. We continually assessed risks throughout our audit, revising the risks where necessary, with the aim of reducing the group risk of material misstatement to an acceptable level, in order to provide a basis for our opinion.
Components in scope
As part of performing our Group audit, we have determined the components in scope as follows:
The group consists of 29 entities, including the Parent Company, which holds a 100% shareholding. Their transactions and balances are fully consolidated into the accounting records. The nature of the entities in the Group is as follows:
- 10 of these entities are not actively trading
- 1 entity is a holding company, which holds investments in the trading entities in the group
- The remaining 18 entities are trading entities.
The control environment is centralised, with the Group Finance team managing processes and controls for all entities within the Group. However, Accounting activities in Chile, Shanghai, and Brazil are carried out locally due to language differences and compliance with local regulatory requirements; however, these activities are subject to oversight by group management.

In January 2025 the Group set up a South African entity and began applying for a Category 1 Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) licence, aiming to make South Africa a new operational hub. Back‑office work and the finance function was gradually transitioned from India to Cape Town from June 2025 onward, with invoicing fully handed over by September 2025. Non‑finance operations remain in India, with future plans for South Africa to take on more operations tasks as licensing progresses. No system data has moved, as everything remains centrally hosted. The shift is purely operational and does not change governance, oversight, audit integrity or data security, with Those Charge with Governance (TCWG) continuing to oversee internal controls and financial reporting.
Based on the nature of entities within the Group, and the processes and controls of the entities, we deemed there to be 13 components of the group (made up of 29 entities). For all 13 components, we used a combination of risk assessment procedures and further audit procedures to support the Group audit opinion. These further audit procedures where appliable and linked to our risk assessment included on the entire financial information of the component, including performing substantive procedures. For components, we used a combination of risk assessment procedures and further audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence.These further audit procedures included:
• procedures on one or more classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures
• specific audit procedures or Risk assessment procedures
Procedures performed at the component level
We performed procedures to respond to group risks of material misstatement at the component level that included the following.

Procedures performed centrally
We considered there to be a high degree of centralisation of financial reporting and commonality of controls and similarity of the group’s activities and business lines in relation to revenue and financial reporting close process. We therefore designed and performed procedures centrally in these areas. The group operates a centralised IT function that supports IT processes for certain components. This IT function is subject to specified risk-focused audit procedures, predominantly the testing of the relevant IT general controls and IT application controls.
Locations
Amicorp FS (UK) Plc’s operations are spread over a number of different geographical locations. We visited 3 locations out of a total of 19 locations. Our teams conducted procedures in Amicorp FS (UK) Plc’s locations in which where Malta, India and South Africa. 83 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3 In addition, our teams worked remotely, holding calls and video conferences with Amicorp FS (UK) Plc , and with digital information obtained from Amicorp FS (UK) Plc.
Changes from the prior year
There have been no significant changes in the Group audit scope from the prior year.
Working with other auditors
As Group auditor, we determined the components at which audit work was performed, together with the resources needed to perform this work. These resources included component auditors, who formed part of the group engagement team. As Group auditor we are solely responsible for expressing an opinion on the financial statements. In working with these component auditors, we held discussions with component audit teams on the significant areas of the group audit relevant to the components based on our assessment of the group risks of material misstatement. We issued our group audit instructions to component auditors on the nature and extent of their participation and role in the group audit, and on the group risks of material misstatement. We directed, supervised and reviewed the component auditors’ work. This included holding meetings and calls during various phases of the audit, reviewing component auditor documentation and evaluating the appropriateness of the audit procedures performed and the results thereof.
How Climate change affected the scope of our audit
The Group has determined that climate change does not currently have a material impact on its operations. Our work on the assessment of potential impacts of climate-related risks on the Group’s operations and financial statements included:
• Enquiries and challenge of management to understand the actions they have taken to identify climate-related risks and their potential impacts on the financial statements and adequately disclose climate-related risks within the annual report;
• Our own qualitative risk assessment taking into consideration the sector in which the Group operates and how climate change affects this particular sector;
• Review of the group’s ESG policy, the minutes of the Board and Audit Committee meetings and other papers related to climate change and performed a risk assessment as to how the impact of the Group’s commitment as set out in the Overview section of the Annual Report, may affect the financial statements and our audit.
We challenged the extent to which climate-related considerations , including the expected cash flows from the initiatives and commitments have been reflected, where appropriate, in the Directors’ going concern assessment and viability assessment and in management’s judgements and estimates in relation to climate change. We challenged the extent to which climate-related considerations, including the expected cash flows from the initiatives and commitments have been reflected, where appropriate, in management’s going concern assessment and viability assessment and in management’s judgements and estimates in relation to Climate Change.
The management disclosures on page 48 form part of the “Other Information,” rather than the audited financial statements. Our responsibilities in relation to the “Other Information” are described in the relevant section of this report and our procedures on these disclosures therefore consisted solely of considering whether they are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained from the audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated. Based on our risk assessment procedures, we did not identify there to be any Key Audit Matters materially impacted by climate-related risks. 84 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit, and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How the scope of our audit responded to the risk |
|---|---|
| Fraud risk over revenue and revenue cut-off in Fund Administration (see Note 3f to the accounting policies) Revenue is the primary determinant of the Group’s profitability and one of the primary measures of performance considered by investors. A significant element of the risk of material misstatement is the fraud risk in revenue relates to the potential for posting improper or fraudulent journal entries to revenue and to recognise revenue early before service completion to improve results and meet market expectations. We have assessed the risk of material misstatement could arise from: - An inappropriate use of journals in revenue, in relation to all revenue streams; - Financial statement & audit | The Group has several revenue streams as detailed in Note 5, each of which contain different performance obligations with regard to the appropriate revenue recognition under IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our procedures included: - identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with pre-defined unusual account combinations to supporting documentation - We vouched a sample of revenue contracts for each revenue stream, assessed the performance obligations, and verified that revenue was recognised only once those performance obligations were satisfied, in accordance with IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. - We split revenue into material streams and identified point of recognition based on a detailed risk assessment at the stream level and identified cut-off risk The following stream as a significant risk: Fund Administration Variable – Point over time The following streams as moderate risk: • Fund Administration Fixed (including Trusteeship, Directorship administrative services, Regulatory & Compliance - MLRO service, Capital Market) – Point over time. |
| - Additional billable service – Point in time, specifically in relation to variable revenue around the year end. | |
| - Business Process Outsourcing Fund Services (including Portfolio and Manpower services) – Point in time. |
For the above revenue streams, we assessed the period over which the cut-off risk exists and based on our sampling methodology, we have corroborated each sample to:
• proof of service delivery as evidence of service completion to ensure revenue was recognised upon completion of performance obligation,
• supporting documentation including inspecting the underlying contract and bank statements to ensure existence of revenue.
• For the completeness risk around post year end cut-off, we have used revenue listing and have tested a sample and agreed to relevant supporting documentation to verify whether the same has been accounted in correct period.
Key observations: Based on our procedures performed we did not identify any matters to suggest that revenue recognised during the audit period was not appropriate, this includes cut off and unusual combinations.
Our application of materiality
We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and performing our audit, and in evaluating the effect of misstatements. We consider materiality to be the magnitude by which misstatements, including omissions, could influence the economic decisions of reasonable users that are taken on the basis of the financial statements. In order to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that any misstatements exceed materiality, we use a lower materiality level, performance materiality, to determine the extent of testing needed. Importantly, misstatements below these levels will not necessarily be evaluated as immaterial as we also take account of the nature of identified misstatements, and the particular circumstances of their occurrence, when evaluating their effect on the financial statements as a whole.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the financial statements as a whole and performance materiality as follows:
| Group financial statements | Group financial statements | Parent company financial statements | Parent company financial statements | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 ($ 000’s) | 2024 ($ 000’s) | 2025 ($ 000’s) | 2024 ($ 000’s) | |
| Materiality | 200 | 156 | 50 | 128 |
| Basis for determining materiality | 1.25% of Revenue | 1% of Revenue | 2.25% of Net Assets | 2% of Net Assets |
| Rationale for benchmark | Given the current life cycle stage of the group, we note that the historical profits are not representative of the current and immediate/ near future profits as the entity is incurring expenditure towards marketing to grow its presence in the market which are partially driving away its profits. We further believe that Revenue is more stable and Management and those charged with governance’s focus is currently on growing the market share and sustaining the revenue levels as it continues to be a KPI regularly monitored by TCWG. Therefore, with revenue being more stable and less volatile, in our professional judgement is the appropriate benchmark. | We have used Net assets as the benchmark for materiality since the Parent is merely a listing vehicle and it has no trading activities and therefore we have used Net Assets as the benchmark. | ||
| Performance materiality | 125 | 109 | 31 | 90 |
| Basis for determining performance materiality | 62.5% of Materiality. | 70% of Materiality. | 62.5% of Materiality. | 70% of Materiality. |
| Rationale for the percentage applied for performance materiality | Performance materiality relatively consistent with previous year considering the nature of activities of the group including acquisitions, historical audit adjustments and proposed adjustments | Performance materiality relatively consistent with previous year considering the nature of activities of the group including acquisitions, historical audit adjustments and proposed adjustments |
Component performance materiality
For the purposes of our Group audit opinion, we set performance materiality for each component of the Group, based on a percentage of between 30% and 50% (2024: 15% and 82% ) of Group performance materiality dependent on a number of factors including the size and our assessment of the risk of material misstatement of those components. Component performance materiality ranged from $18k to $62K (2024: $16K to $90K).
Reporting threshold
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them all individual audit differences in excess of $10K (2024: $6K). We also agreed to report differences below this threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the entitled ‘Annual report and Financial Statements 2025’ other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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.
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.
Corporate governance statement
The UK Listing Rules sourcebook requires us to review the Directors’ statement in relation to going concern, longer-term viability and that part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the Parent Company’s compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review. Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following elements of the Corporate Governance Statement is materially consistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the audit.
Going concern & longer-term viability
• The Directors' statement with regards to the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis of accounting and any material uncertainties identified set out on page 47;
• The Directors’ explanation as to their assessment of the Group’s prospects, the period this assessment covers and why the period is appropriate set out on page 47; and
• The Directors’ statement on whether they have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities set out on page 47.
Other Code provisions
• Directors' statement on fair, balanced and understandable set out on page 79;
• Board’s confirmation that it has carried out a robust assessment of the emerging and principal risks set out on page 40;
• The section of the annual report that describes the review of effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems set out on page 39; and
• The section describing the work of the audit committee set out on page 65
Other Companies Act 2006 reporting
Based on the responsibilities described below and our work performed during the course of the audit, we are required by the Companies Act 2006 and ISAs (UK) to report on certain opinions and matters as described below.
Strategic report and Directors’ report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
• the information given in the 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 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 Parent 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.
Directors’ remuneration
In our opinion, the part of the Directors’ remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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 and the part of the Directors’ remuneration report to be audited 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.### 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 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.
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. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the Parent Company and management.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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:
Non-compliance with laws and regulations
Based on our understanding and accumulated knowledge of the Group and the sector in which it operates we considered the risk of acts by the Group which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud and whether such actions or non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. These included but were not limited to those that relate to the form and content of the financial statements, such as the Group accounting policies, UK adopted international accounting standards, United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 (Reduced Disclosure Framework), UK Companies Act 2006 and Listing Rules; those that relate to the payment of employees; and industry related such as compliance with infringement and defamation legislation, data protection, UK tax legislation and regulations imposed by local finance authorities in overseas locations. Our procedures in respect of the above included, but were not limited to: 89 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
- Review of minutes of meeting of those charged with governance for any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
- Review of correspondence with regulatory and tax authorities for any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- Review of financial statement disclosures and agreeing to supporting documentation;
- Involvement of tax specialist in the audit;
- Review of legal expenditure accounts to understand the nature of expenditure incurred.
Fraud
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
- Enquiry with management and those charged with governance regarding any known or suspected instances of fraud;
- Obtaining an understanding of the Group’s policies and procedures relating to:
- Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud; and
- Internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud.
- Review of minutes of meeting of those charged with governance for any known or suspected instances of fraud;
- Discussion amongst the engagement team as to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements; and
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be unusual journal combinations to revenue and management override of controls. Our procedures in respect of the above included:
- Testing a sample of journal entries throughout the year, which met a defined risk criteria, by agreeing to supporting documentation, assessing the business rationale of each journal identified, ensuring the journal was recorded to the appropriate account and in the correct period and was reasonable for the nature/ operation of the business;
- Testing a sample of journal entries outside our defined risk criteria, by agreeing to supporting documentation;
- Involvement of forensic specialist in the audit to assist with the risk assessment at the planning stage and to help design appropriate audit procedures.
- For revenue testing, refer to the procedures in the Key Audit Matter above.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including component auditors who were all deemed to have appropriate competence and capabilities and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. For component auditors, we also reviewed the result of their work performed in this regard.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Notes to accounts
1. GENERAL
These annual financial statements are the audited consolidated financial statements for Amicorp FS (UK) Plc and its subsidiaries. Amicorp FS (UK) Plc (the ‘Company’), a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom with its company number being 14704124 under the Companies Act 2006, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the ‘Group’), is a provider of fund administration services, regulatory reporting, fiduciary services and multi-faceted business support alternatives for hedge funds, private equity funds and family offices investing in listed or unlisted equities, financial instruments, projects, real estate and various asset classes locally or globally. The Group also offers administration and fiduciary services to special purpose vehicles associated with fund structures or entities with passive investment in financial instruments. The address of the Company’s registered office is 5 Lloyd’s Avenue, London, United Kingdom, EC3N 3AE.
2. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Background and purposes of the consolidated financial information organisation
The Group is a business division of Amicorp Group, which is a multinational providing, in addition to fund administration services, a broad range of corporate management, capital market and financial services to clients globally with a dedicated network of international experts and specialists. Since year 2018, newly incorporated subsidiaries of the Group and former subsidiaries of Amicorp Group entered into multiple conditional agreements for the sale and purchase of the respective equity share capital of such former subsidiaries, being a set of fund administration services within Amicorp Group. The Group was not formed of a separate standalone legal group of entities, and the Company was incorporated on 3 March 2023 and inserted as the holding company of the Group on 26 May 2023. As announced on 5 June 2023, the Company successfully raised gross proceeds of US$6.47 million through a placing of 6,468,000 new ordinary shares, with a further placing of 9,702,000 existing ordinary shares that raised US$9.70 million. On 8 June 2023, the Company was successfully admitted to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, as a holding company of the Group. In the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the insertion of the Company as the holding company of the Group constituted a carve-out reconstruction involving transfer of shares in the Group’s entities, in which merger accounting was applied. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Group were prepared as if the Company, together with its subsidiaries, collectively had already existed before the start of the earliest period presented. The prior year financial information was, therefore, presented as if the carve-out reconstruction had already occurred, and it was derived from the HFI included in the listing prospectus, primarily adjusted for the demerger equity, reserve and consolidation adjustments, except for Amicorp Fund Services Luxembourg S.A (“AFS Luxembourg”); AFS Luxembourg was incorporated as a new legal entity in the Luxembourg jurisdiction during the prior financial year and transferred to the Group as a new subsidiary, and the previous carved-out portion related to AFS business in Luxembourg included in the HFI were excluded from the prior year financials, in order to be in compliance with the IFRS reporting framework. Details on such reconciliations from the historical financial information to the IFRS comparatives of previous years were included in the 2023 annual report.

In December 2024, the Group acquired three entities via two common control transactions with Amicorp Group’s Financial Markets and Management Services divisions, for a total consideration of US$4.5 million, settled through the related party receivable balance due from Amicorp Group. These acquired entities specialize in business process outsourcing and trusteeship administrative services, and they have been accounted for consistently under the same merger accounting policies within these consolidated financial statements, as if they had always existed collectively with the Group prior to the start of the earliest period presented. These consolidated financial statements of Amicorp FS (UK) Plc for the year ended 31 December 2025, have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to the comparative figures in these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of US Dollars (‘US$’000’) unless otherwise indicated and prepared under the historical cost convention and based upon the accounting policies disclosed below. Unless otherwise stated, the prior year consolidated financial statements of the Group under the merger accounting principles were presented as if the Company, with its subsidiaries, had always collectively existed at its earliest period, with consistency in the accounting policies with those applied to the current financial year. Where applicable, the Group has taken into account and implemented IFRS standards, along with any related interpretations and amendments, which were issued and effective as of 1 January 2025. The Group has not chosen to adopt any standards, interpretations, or amendments before their effective date. While there have been some new amendments effective in 2025, they are not considered to impact the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Basis of measurement and going concern assumption
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value in accordance with UK-adopted IFRS and IAS. The measurement bases are fully described in the accounting policies below. The material accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements summarized are below. These policies have been consistently applied to years and periods presented unless otherwise stated.
It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge and judgment of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The area involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in note 4.
Going concern
The Directors are satisfied that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
In assessing going concern, the Directors considered the Group’s cash flows, solvency and liquidity positions, considering a range of scenarios. The worst-case scenario applies adverse assumptions on key business metrics, presuming fund launch rates of new funds and existing launching funds respectively are reduced by half and attrition rates increased twofold compared to normal scenarios, as well as a reverse stress test, which is -unlikely based on historical trends. In this reasonably worst case scenario, the net current assets and cash and cash equivalents are projected to remain positive throughout the going concern period.
As at the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of US$3.7 million (31 December 2024: US$3.2m million) and net current assets of US$6.0 million (31 December 2024: US$4.0 million), which the Directors believe will be sufficient to maintain the Group’s liquidity over the going concern period (i.e. at least 12 months from the date of issue of these financial statements), including continued investments to meet existing financial commitments and to deliver future growth.

(d) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial information of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the ‘functional currency’). The presentational currency of the Group is United States Dollars (‘US$’), and hence the financial information is presented in US$, unless specified otherwise.
In the individual financial statements of the Group’s entities, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the individual entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the reporting date retranslation of monetary assets and liabilities are in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined and are reported as part of the exchange revaluation gain or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
In the consolidated financial information, all individual financial statements of foreign operations, originally presented in a currency different from the Group’s presentation currency, have been converted into US$. Assets and liabilities have been translated into US$ at the closing rates at the reporting dates. Income and expenses have been converted into US$ at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates, or at the average rates over the reporting year provided that the exchange rates do not fluctuate significantly. Any differences arising from this procedure have been dealt with separately in other comprehensive income and the translation reserves in equity.
Accounting Policies
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of consolidation
On consolidation, the results and financial position of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group, as follows:
- Assets and liabilities for the consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date;
- income and expense items are translated at exchange rates ruling at the date of the transactions;
- all resulting exchange differences are in other comprehensive income (foreign exchange reserves); and
- cash flow items are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction.
Inter-company transactions and balances between group companies together with unrealized profits are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment on the asset transferred, in which case the loss is in profit or loss.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of, if any, during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the dates of acquisition or up to the dates of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.
Page:99 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
Common control acquisition of subsidiaries or businesses is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the acquisition date fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and equity interests issued by the Group, as the acquirer. The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are principally measured at acquisition-date fair value. The Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured at acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gains or losses are in profit or loss.
The Group may elect, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, to measure the non-controlling interests that represent present ownership interests in the subsidiary either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests are measured at fair value unless another measurement basis is required by IFRSs.
Acquisition-related costs incurred are expensed unless they are incurred in issuing equity instruments in which case the costs are deducted from equity. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is at acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent adjustments to consideration are against goodwill only to the extent that they arise from new information obtained within the measurement period (a maximum of 12 months from the acquisition date) about the fair value at the acquisition date. All other subsequent adjustments to contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability are in profit or loss.
Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interest and the non-controlling interest are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interest. Amounts previously in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
(b) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an investee over which the Group is able to exercise control. The Group controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: power over the investee, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investee, and the ability to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.
(c) Merger accounting
In its first-time annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023, merger accounting was initially applied for the Company inserted as the holding company of the Group, by way of receiving transferred shares of certain entities under common control as part of the carve-out reconstruction described in Note 2(a), given the ultimate controlling parent remained the same. This method treated the Company, together with its subsidiaries, as if they had been merged and integrated before the start of the earliest period presented.The net assets of the consolidated entities or businesses used the existing book values from the controlling parties’ perspective. No amount was in consideration for goodwill or excess of acquirers’ interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the carve-out reconstruction, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling parties’ interest. When the Company was inserted as the holding company of the Group, the excess of the carrying amount of integrated net assets over the consideration to Amicorp Group was represented as a merger reserve in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, under the predecessor method.
Page:100 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
Additionally, in December 2024, the Group acquired three entities via two common control transactions with Amicorp Group’s Financial Markets and Management Services divisions. These acquired entities have been consistently accounted for under the same merger accounting policies within these consolidated financial statements. Meanwhile, transaction costs, including professional fees, registration fees, costs of furnishing information to shareholders, costs or losses incurred in operations of the previously separate businesses, etc., incurred in relation to the carve-out reconstruction that were accounted for by using merger accounting have been as an expense in the corresponding financial years in which they were incurred.
(d) Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of tangible asset includes its purchase price and the costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the assets' carrying amount or as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is de. All other repairs and maintenance are as an expense in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Tangible assets are depreciated so as to write off their cost or valuation net of expected residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The useful lives, residual value and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The useful lives are as follows:
| Asset | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 3 - 10 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 10 years |
| Motor vehicles | 3 - 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | in line with lease terms |
An asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is higher than the asset’s estimated recoverable amount. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of tangible assets is the difference between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount, and is in profit or loss on disposal.
(e) Financial instruments
(i) Financial assets
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets market that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the place. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirely when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

It represents an investment in an equity fund classified as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit recognize or loss, given that it was not elected by management at inception to fair value gains and losses through OCI; the Group held 2,386 units of Series B in Fondo De Inversion Ecus Agri-food, which is a Chilean public fund regulated by the Chilean Financial Market Commission (“CMF”), with aims to generate long-term capital appreciation from its investment portfolio for food and agricultural products, and the units of Series B held by the Group represent 1.69 per cent of the total units issued by the fund. The Group’s valuation technique used for this investment is the net asset value (which equates to fair value), based on the ratio of the units held over the total unit issued by the fund. The fair value hierarchy of this investment is considered as level 1, given that the fund is required to report its net asset value to the CMF on a quarterly basis, following the guidelines provided by the CMF for the fair value inputs. The fair value of the investment by the Group is measured as at reporting dates.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group only has the following type of debt instruments:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent solely amortised payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets at cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are in profit or loss. Any gain on derecognition is in profit or loss.
(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets recognizes
The Group loss allowances for expected credit loss (‘ECL’) on trade receivables and other receivables amortised that are financial assets measured at cost. The ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:
(1) 12 months ECLs: these are the ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date: and
(2) lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the assets’ original effective interest rate. The Group has elected to measure loss allowances for trade and other receivables using IFRS 9 simplified approach and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime ECLs. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. For other financial assets, such as amount due from related companies, deposits and other current assets, the ECLs are based on the 12-months ECLs. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECLs.
Page:102 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information. The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. The Group considers a financial asset to be credit-impaired when: (1) the counterparty is unlikely to pay its credit realizing obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as security (if any is held); or (2) the financial asset is more than 30 days past due. Interest income on credit-impaired financial assets is calculated based on the amortised cost (i.e., the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset. For non-credit-impaired financial assets interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount.
(iii) Financial liabilities
The Group classifies its financial liabilities, depending on the purpose for which the liabilities were incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value and financial liabilities at amortised costs are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable costs incurred. Financial liabilities at amortised cost amortised amortised Financial liabilities at cost including trade and other payables are subsequently measured at cost. derecognised amortisation Gains or losses are in profit or loss when the liabilities are as well as through the process.
Financial liabilities at fair value through P&L
Any deferred consideration, arising from business acquisitions, is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay deferred consideration that does not meet the definition of an equity instrument is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the deferred consideration are in profit or loss.Page:103 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
(iv) Effective interest method amortised
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.
(v) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
(vi) Derecognition
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with IFRS 9. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
(f) Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue excludes value added tax or other sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the goods or service may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the goods or service is transferred over time if the Group’s performance:
• provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer;
• creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or
• does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group, and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
Revenue comprises the provision of fund administration services, regulatory and compliance services and also business process outsourcing services. Fund administration services represent fund onboarding, registrar and transfer agency and NAV calculation, and preparation of financial statements; regulatory and compliance and business process outsourcing include services of AML, directorship, board support, FATCA, CRS and other tax reporting. The majority of these services—such as ongoing fund administration activities, continuous regulatory support, and integrated outsourcing—are recognized over time, typically on a monthly basis, as they involve continuous performance obligations with benefits consumed simultaneously by clients. If control of the goods or services transfers over time, revenue is recognized over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation; for instance, certain services are activities performed to fulfil AFS’s continuous integrated fund administrative service, where the benefits consumed by the client are substantially the same for each monthly service (i.e., 12 distinct instances of admin service provision), with corresponding revenue recognized monthly. However, certain services—such as the delivery of completed financial statements or specific regulatory reporting (e.g., tax-related reports)—are recognized at a point in time when the discrete deliverable is transferred to the customer.
Page:104 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
(g) Income taxes
Income taxes for the year comprise current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting year. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except for assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates appropriate to the expected manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is realized or settled and that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Income taxes are recognized in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or when they relate to items recognized directly in equity in which case the taxes are also recognized directly in equity.
(h) Foreign currency
Transactions entered into by group entities in currencies other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which it/they operate(s) (the “functional currency”) are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the end of the reporting year. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, income and expense items of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. United States dollars) at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place are used. All assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate ruling at the end of the reporting year. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
Page:105 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
Exchange differences recognized in profit or loss of group entities’ separate financial statements on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Group’s net investment in the foreign operation concerned are reclassified to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign exchange reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in the foreign exchange reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are reclassified to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
(i) Impairment of other assets
At the end of each reporting year, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of the following assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss or an impairment loss recognized previously that no longer exists or may have decreased:
• tangible assets and intangible assets;
If the recoverable amount (i.e. the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use) of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset previously. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.
(j) Share capital
In accordance with IAS 32, expenses incurred specifically for issuing shares, such as underwriting fees, are deducted from equity. Conversely, expenses associated with listing on the stock market, such as listing fees, or those not directly linked to issuing new shares, are recognized as expenses in the income statement when they are incurred. For costs that pertain to both share issuance and listing, such as legal fees, they are allocated between these two functions in a reasonable and consistent manner.
(k) Distributable reserve
It represents certain net earnings of prior years according to the carve-out principles of the HFI included in the listing prospectus, at the time when the Group was previously not yet formed as a separate standalone legal entity or group of entities.

4.# KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates recognized are in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
In addition to information disclosed elsewhere in this financial information, other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within next financial year are as follows:
(i) Impairment of financial assets measured at amortised cost
Management estimates the amount of loss allowance for ECL on financial assets that are measured at cost based on the credit risk of the respective financial asset. The loss allowance amount is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows after taking into consideration of expected future credit loss of the respective financial asset. The assessment of the credit risk of the respective financial asset involves high degree of estimation and uncertainty. When the actual future cash flows are different from expected, a material impairment loss or a material reversal of impairment loss may arise, accordingly.
(ii) Merger reserve
These consolidated financial statements have involved the recognition and measurement of merger reserves arising from business combinations under common control in both financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, since the Company was inserted in May 2023 into the Group as the listing company for the AFS business. The measurement of merger reserves is subject to estimations due to the complexity and judgment involved in determining the value of net assets received via the receipt of shares in certain subsidiaries transferred to the Company. Management exercises professional judgment and appropriate valuation methodologies to determine the initial recognition and measurement of merger reserves. For details, please see the accounting policy described in Note 3c.
5. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Group’s decision makers, consisting of the chief executive officer, chief operating officer, the chief financial officer and managers for corporate planning, examine the Group’s performance from a fund service provider’s perspective and have identified three reportable segments of its business under IFRS 8. The reportable segments are identified as fund administration, business process outsourcing and regulatory and compliance. Management primarily uses a measure of net earnings by services to assess the performance of the reportable segments. The customer base is primarily institutional clients, including private equity funds, family offices and hedge funds. No individual client in Fund Administration and Governance and Compliance represents more than 2% of revenue in the year ended 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: same).
Business Process Outsourcing segment includes a contribution of US$1.4m (2024: US$0.9m) from a single external client for the year ended 31 December 2025. This external revenue alongside revenue from Amicorp Group (See Note 21), reflects a more concentrated revenue profile in this segment.

9. TAX
(a) Income tax expense
This note provides an analysis of the Group’s current income tax and deferred tax.
| Year ended 31 December | 2025 ($ '000) | 2024 ($ '000) |
|---|---|---|
| Current income tax | ||
| Current tax on profits for the year | 491 | 294 |
| Deferred income tax | ||
| Deferred tax expense for the year (Note 9d) | 91 | 59 |
| Total income tax expenses recognized | 582 | 353 |
In the respective financial years, tax expense or income in other comprehensive income amounted to nil, in addition to the income tax expenses above charged to profit or loss. Also, there was no significant uncertain tax position or tax-related contingency identified in the Group.
Reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable.
| Year ended 31 December | 2025 ($ '000) | 2024 ($ '000) |
|---|---|---|
| Profit before income tax expense | 2,115 | 1,053 |
| Current tax charge at the UK average rate of 25.00% (2024: 25.00%) | 529 | 263 |
| Effects of material amounts that are not taxable/deductible in calculating income tax: | ||
| ¹ Recognition/ (use of) brought forward losses unrecognized | 80 | (24) |
| Non-deductible expenses | 28 | 22 |
| Non-taxable or deductible items from foreign sources | (366) | (590) |
| Losses not recognized | 729 | 1,137 |
| Difference in overseas tax rates² | (418) | (455) |
| Income tax expenses | 582 | 353 |
¹ The financial impact of standard non-deductible items, such as depreciation and interest expenses, is considered insignificant in the Group, and hence are excluded from the reconciliation.
² Income tax on overseas profits has been calculated on the estimated assessable profit for the years at the respective tax rates prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates. Cyprus corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 12.5% (2024: 12.5%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in Cyprus. Malta corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 35% (2024: 35%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in Malta. Luxembourg corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 23.87% (2024: 24.94%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in Luxembourg. India corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 25% (2024: 25%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in India. 25% is the statutory rate of corporate income tax in India in this period although a higher effective tax rate can apply to profit in this jurisdiction owing to the application of surtaxes. Hong Kong corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2024: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in Hong Kong.Singapore corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 17% (2024: 17%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in Singapore. Chile corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 27% (2024: 27%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in Chile. Curacao corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 3% (2024: 3%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in Curacao. Philippines corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 25% (2024: 25%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in the Philippines. The UK’s corporate tax has been provided at the rate of 25% (2024: 25%) on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s operations in the United Kingdom.

| Tax loss recognition | 131 | - |
| Foreign exchange difference | 12 | (26) |
| Balances as at 31 December | 134 | 213 |
The deferred tax assets are for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
(e) Unused tax losses
Page: 111 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
| As at 31 December | 2025 ($ '000) | 2024 ($ '000) |
|---|---|---|
| Accumulated unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized | 11,830 | 8,077 |
| Potential tax benefits at effective tax rates in respective years | 2,998 | 2,085 |
The unused tax losses are seen in some entities within the Group, for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized on the prudency basis, given the unpredictability of profit streams and future economic benefits; unrecognized tax losses of US$284k were utilised in 2025 (2024: US$71k), and remaining tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely for future use.
(f) OECD reforms and developments
On 8 October 2021, 136 countries reached an agreement for a two-pillar approach to international tax reform (‘the OECD agreement’). Amongst other things, Pillar One proposes a reallocation of a proportion of tax to market jurisdictions, while Pillar Two seeks to apply a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%. Whilst the Group is below the size thresholds for these proposals to apply, the OECD agreement is likely to see changes in corporate tax rates in a number of countries in the next few years. The impact of changes in corporate tax rates on the measurement of tax assets and liabilities depends on the nature and timing of the legislative changes in each country, which will become known and certain in the near future.

The Group allows a credit period of 30 days upon the services rendered to customers. Due to the short-term nature of the current trade receivables, their carrying amounts are considered to be the same as their fair value. Information about the Group’s exposure to credit risk and foreign currency risk can be found in note 23. At 31 December, the ageing analysis of the trade receivables based on invoice date is as follows:
| As at 31 December | 2025 ($ '000) | 2024 ($ '000) |

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. In measuring the expected credit losses, receivables are grouped based on their shared credit risk characteristics and numbers of days past due. The expected credit losses on these trade receivables are estimated using a provision rate based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current and the forecast direction of conditions as at the reporting dates, including time value of money where appropriate.

16. LEASES
This note provides information for leases where Group is a lessee within the scope of IFRS 16. In mid-November 2024, the lease for the Group’s India office was terminated in preparation for a new workplace in the same city the following year, and hence its corresponding right of use assets and lease liabilities were derecognized. The Group does not have options to purchase certain offices for a nominal amount at the end of the lease term. Also, these leases do not contain variable lease payments throughout the lease terms. The total cash outflow for leases amount to US$261k in financial year ended 31 December 2025 (US$316k in 2024).

22. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s objectives on managing capital are to finance its operations with its owned capital and to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for major stakeholders. The Group monitors the sufficiency of capital based on the positions of cash, net current assets and also total net assets. Lease liabilities are not considered as debts for capital risk management given that corresponding right of use assets are recognized at inception for the equivalent amounts. There have been no external debts in both financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2025, and the mentioned financial positions remain positive at a healthy level.
23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s major financial instruments include trade receivables, other receivables, deposit and prepayments, amounts due from related companies, cash and cash equivalent, and trade payables which are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include liquidity risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management team manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
(a) Liquidity risk
Individual operating entities within the Group are responsible for their own cash management, including the uses of cash surpluses, to cover expected cash demands, subject to approval by management when involved amounts exceeds certain predetermined levels of authority. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term. The following tables show the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the reporting period of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities, based on undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contractual rates or, if floating, based on rates current at the reporting date) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay.
| At 31 December 2025 | Within 1 year or on demand ($ '000) | 2-5 years ($ '000) | Total undiscounted cash flows ($ '000) | Carrying amount ($ '000) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trade payables | 925 | - | 925 | 925 |
| Accrued payroll and employee benefits | 838 | - | 838 | 838 |
| Other provisions and payables | 1,040 | - | 1,040 | 1,040 |
| Lease liabilities | 158 | 105 | 263 | 241 |
| 2,961 | 105 | 3,066 | 3,044 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trade payables | 395 | - | 395 | 395 |
| Accrued payroll and employee benefits | 627 | - | 627 | 627 |
| Other provisions and payables | 804 | - | 804 | 804 |
| Lease liabilities | 267 | 237 | 504 | 462 |
| 2,093 | 237 | 2,330 | 2,288 |
(b) Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from its ongoing transactions and the financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, arising primarily from transactions and financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of its entities. Translation exposures with a functional currency different from Group’s presentation currency are excluded from the assessment of foreign currency risks in accordance with IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures. In countries where the Group operates, except for Hong Kong, income and expenditure are transacted primarily in the respective functional currencies, resulting in limited transactional foreign exchange risk. In Hong Kong, income is predominantly in US$ whilst the expenditure is in HK$. Given the HK$ has been pegged to the US$ at a fixed rate of approximately 7.8 since 1983, foreign currency risk in this jurisdiction is negligible. During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recognised a foreign exchange gain of US$273k (2024: loss of US$239k) in the consolidated income statement, primarily from the retranslation of USD-denominated intercompany payables in certain subsidiaries with functional currencies that strengthened against the US dollar. This loss that is recognised per IAS 21 for monetary items expected to be settled is immaterial, given its intercompany nature, to the Group’s overall financial performance and does not indicate significant ongoing transactional foreign exchange risk. The Group monitors currency exposures and applies operational measures, such as matching income and expenditure currencies where feasible, to minimize such risks without using derivative financial instruments. Overall, the Group’s exposure to significant transactional foreign currency risk remains limited, with no material impact expected on future financial performance.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Management considers the interest rate risk as insignificant to the Group since there has been no interest bearing borrowings, significant interest income or tangible assets with fair values substantially subject to interest rates.
Price risk
The Group’s exposure to price risk arises from its investment measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).Given the value of this investment for US$88k as at 31 December 2025 (prior year: US$83k) and its limited exposure to market price volatility, management considers price risk to be insignificant to the Group’s financial position and performance. No specific hedging strategies are employed for price risk, as the risk is not material. Page:120 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
(c) Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. Management of credit risk involves a number of considerations, such as the financial profile of the counterparty, and specific terms and duration of the contractual agreement, and for cash and cash equivalents, the credit quality of financial institutions and their stable financial profiles. Customer credit risk is managed subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to analysed customer credit risk management. The requirement for impairment is at each reporting date on an individual basis for customers. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade and other receivables and contract assets as low, as its customer base consists of a large number of individual customers who operate in several jurisdictions, industries and largely independent markets. The Group measures loss allowances for trade and other receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer bases. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any individual client or counterparty.
In respect of financial assets at amortised cost composed of other receivables and amounts due from related companies, the directors are of the opinion that the credit risk is low because these companies have high credit quality and no recent history of default payment, and the loss allowance during the year was therefore limited to 12 months ECLs. Trade receivables, as detailed in Note 11, are assessed using the simplified approach under IFRS 9. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset at the end of reporting period. For transactions with open accounts, funds which equal to a certain percentage of the gross purchase amounts are deposited with the Group by debtors in advance before the execution of those transactions. For transactions with letters of credit, transferrable letters of credit will be arranged to creditors to remove counterparty default risk.
(d) Financial instruments
The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortised cost approximate their fair values. As these instruments are not measured at fair value, a fair value hierarchy disclosure is not required. Financial assets include an investment, trade receivables, other receivables and deposits (excluding VAT receivables and prepayments), amounts due from related companies and cash and cash equivalents; financial liabilities are trade payables, accrued payroll and employee benefits, other provisions and payables, lease liabilities and also deferred consideration payable. These financial assets and financial liabilities, except for an investment measured at FVTPL, are all measured at amortised costs, approximate to their carrying values. Page:121 Docusign Envelope ID: 0414ABA7-DD6C-82E2-8245-FBD4B74316E3
24. COMMITMENTS
The Group rents various offices to conduct its business, which the Group has no control over, and hence these leases are not within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases. Such rental expenses incurred were charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease periods.
For leases within scope of IFRS 16, lease liabilities are recognised (Note 16) to reflect the discounted committed future rental payments. Also, the portfolio of short-term leases to which the Group is committed at the end of the reporting periods are not dissimilar to that which the details of short-term lease expense disclosed on Note 16 relate to. Therefore, these two types of leases are excluded from this commitments disclosure. The table below presents a maturity analysis of lease payments showing the undiscounted lease payments to be made on an annual basis:
| As at 31 December | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| $ '000 | $ '000 | |
| Minimum lease payments for non-cancellable leases: | ||
| Within one year | 158 | 449 |
| Later than one year but not later than five years | 66 | - |
| Later than 5 years | 39 | - |
| 263 | 449 |
25. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated based on the profit or loss for the financial year divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the same financial year. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares to include the potentially dilutive effect of additional ordinary shares. There have been no dilutive shares during the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: same), and therefore the weighted average number of ordinary shares are the same for the calculations of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS.
| As at 31 December | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Net profit in US$ | 1,533,000 | 700,000 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares (basic & diluted) | 120,160,929 | 119,968,000 |
| Basic EPS in USD cent | 1.28 | 0.58 |
| Diluted EPS in USD cent | 1.28 | 0.58 |
26. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are captured at the exchange rate on the date of transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are re-translated at rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.
Expenditure and provision
Expenditure is acknowledged for goods and services received in accordance with contractual terms. Provision is established when there is an obligation for a future liability arising from a past event, and the amount of the liability can be accurately estimated.
Investments in immediate subsidiaries
In the prior financial year ended 31 December 2024, the Company undertook additional common control transactions with Amicorp Group to acquire two entities. These acquisitions were recognized at their nominal acquisition prices. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in immediate subsidiaries are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses in the Company’s separate financial statements, in accordance with IAS 27. The carrying amount is reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the investment may be impaired, as required by IAS 36.
Other receivables and amounts due from group companies
Receivables are carried on the books at their amortised cost, reduced by an allowance for expected credit losses. The calculation of expected credit losses follows the methodology permitted by IFRS 9. The majority of the receivables balance comprises amounts owed by subsidiaries within the Group. The Company uses a general approach to estimate the expected credit losses. If a receivable is deemed uncollectible, it is written off, firstly utilising any available expected credit loss allowance, and then recognized in the income statements.
Remuneration payables
Remuneration payables, which include director’s fees, represent amounts accrued but unpaid for services rendered up to the reporting date. These amounts are recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are provided, in accordance with the accruals principle.
Share capital and share premium
Share capital represents the nominal or par value of the shares issued by the Company and is recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet. Share premium represents the amount received by the Company in excess of the nominal or par value of the shares issued and is also recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet. In accordance with IAS 32, expenses incurred specifically for issuing shares, such as underwriting fees, were deducted from equity. Conversely, expenses associated with listing on the stock market, such as listing fees, or those not directly linked to issuing new shares, were recognized as expenses in the income statement. For costs that pertain to both share issuance and listing, such as legal fees, they were allocated between these two functions in a reasonable and consistent manner.

Prior Period Adjustment
During the year ended 31 December 2025, management identified a material prior period error in the carrying amount of the investment in Amicorp Trustees (India) Private Limited as at 31 December 2024. The investment had been incorrectly recognised at US$1,250,000 instead of the correct cost of US$2,500,000. In accordance with FRS 101 Accounting Policies, Estimates and Errors, the error has been corrected retrospectively and the comparative figures for 2024 have been restated.
Nature of the error: The cost of the investment in the subsidiary was understated due to an incorrect allocation between the investment in shares and the related party receivable at the date of the common control acquisition. There was a corresponding adjustment to Amounts due from related parties (see note 9 of the Company's standalone financial statements). There is no impact on the Company’s profit or loss, total equity, or earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2024 as a result of this correction.
