Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “During 2025 the Company performed in line with expectations, resulting in a satisfactory position.”
• “Acanthus continues to invest in IT infrastructure, opting for cloud-based solutions providing mobility, connectivity and business continuity creating increased efficiencies.”
• “In terms of new business development, Acanthus has successfully originated several new mandates, and so the business remains strong with good prospects.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
