Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “During the year, in the Group's core smaller companies strategy, the Euro A shares of OSCF fell by -8.3%, OSCUF's Euro shares fell by -8.6%. In the micro-cap strategy, MMCF Euro shares fell by -7.0%.”
- “The Group's assets under management decreased during the period from £557.6 to £400.8m - a decrease of 28.1%.”
- “At the end of the period, assets under management in the OSCF amounted to 24.4% of total assets under management (31 March 2024: 20.3%), OSCUF 17.0% (31 March 2024: 17.5%), and MMCF 18.0% (31 March 2024: 13.7%). The remaining 40.6% of assets under management was split between the micro cap strategy managed accounts (32.0%), and the smaller companies strategy managed accounts (8.5%).”
- “The key theme of the Financial Year was one of political instability and economic uncertainty. President Macron's decision to call a snap election in June 2024, the collapse of the coalition government in Germany in November (and the subsequent federal election in March 2025), and the Labour government's austere budget in October were all key drivers in creating a cycle of electoral confusion and market volatility.”
- “The uncertainty sentiment in the markets was further heightened with the re-election of Trump, the ensuing anti-European rhetoric of his administration, and the threat / expectation of tariff implementation.”
- “For Funds' investee companies this economic uncertainty often meant cancelled orders and frozen sales which made forecasting revenue extremely difficult.”
- “A non-controlling interest in the company is held by a shareholder who also committed to make investment in funds under management. As part of the arrangements, the Company is party to an option contract that could possibly involve the company in being obliged to purchase this shareholding at a future date. It is not believed probable that such a purchase will be required and it is judged that such an event is unlikely. The value of the shareholding involved at 28 May 2021 was £300,000.”
