CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

For the year ended 31 December 2021

The aim of the Board is to steadily grow the Company's earnings seeking to deliver attractive returns and capital growth through a combination of building growing businesses globally as well as earning revenue from income generating operating activities[3]. Specifically, our goals are to deliver a dividend yield of 6% per annum (based on capital subscribed)[4] and in addition to generate returns to grow the Company by a further 5-10% per annum[5]. The Company focuses its investment activities globally (in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, as well as the Channel Islands).

Book Value per share in the year decreased from 39.88 cents to 30.07 cents. The Total Return for the year was -24.59%[6].

Direct Investment Portfolio

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company completed the 70% acquisition of Delphos FMA in Canada for a total consideration of $415,000 representing 1.76% of the Group's book value at 31 December 2021. Delphos FMA is a Canadian consulting firm that provides investment and risk management services to investors in the emerging and frontier markets. FMA's expertise includes impact investing and development financing. FMA is a member of CAFIID - Canada Forum for Impact Investment and Development. FMA's core clients are EM private investment funds, development finance institutions, governments, other development organizations.

This investment was an excellent complementary addition to Delphos International which was acquired in 2020. This increased the total number of businesses into the direct investment portfolio to 5. Parish Group, Delphos International, Delphos - FMA, New Market and Palladium.

Gearing

In January 2020, in relation to the acquisition of Parish Group Limited (PGL), the Company issued 1,000,000 share warrants (Warrants) and 268,000 Convertible Preference Shares (Prefs) with a nominal value of $10. The Prefs were issued with a discretionary cumulative dividend of 6%, a fixed conversion ratio and are nonredeemable[7].

The share warrants were cancelled during the year while the convertible preference shares were repurchased for USD 800k and cancelled. These cancellations removed any potentially dilutive instruments.

Dividends

As of 31 December 2021, the dividend remains on hold until further notice. In 2020, the Company paid 1.5p (2.0 cents) related to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Total Return

Book Value per share in the year decreased from 39.88 cents to 30.07 cents. The Total Return for the year was -24.59%⁴. Further details on the breakdown of the Total Return are shown on page 7, 2021 in Review.

Corporate Governance

During 2021 Wesley Davis stepped down as Finance Director and was replaced by existing Non-Executive Director Philip Soulsby. Mr Soulsby's role as Non-Executive Director was replaced by Wadhah Al-Adawi. His bio can be found on page 23. Mr Al-Adawi chairs the Audit Committee.

The Board has established corporate governance arrangements which are appropriate for the operation of the Company. Further details of these may be found in the appropriate sections of this Report.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2021

Conclusion

The Investment performance and outlook for Emerging Markets are discussed in more detail in the CEO's statement on page 6. Whilst the headwinds have significantly buffeted our liquid portfolio, the Board are pleased to have been able to take opportunities to develop the Direct Investment Portfolio which is now very well positioned to capitalise from several growing trends globally.

Wayne Bulpitt CBE

Chair, APQ Global Limited

CEO'S STATEMENT

For the year ended 31 December 2021

2021 continued very much as 2020 ended with the COVID-19 pandemic still looming with multiple variants being widely spread. The large positive to arise however was the widespread distribution of vaccines across the globe.

The world's economies responded, with real GDP across the OECD area increasing an estimated 5.11% throughout 2021[8]. Governments around the globe began enforcing then lifting lockdowns and travel restrictions following the creation of "vaccine passports".

Following the rollercoaster year of 2020, the S&P 500, MSCI Emerging Markets and MSCI World Indices changed by +26.89%, -5.34% and +36.98% respectively over the 12 months ending on 31 December 2021 on a Total Return basis[9]. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)[10] increased 22.82% to 17.2 across the same period. Emerging Market currencies such as the Russian Rouble, Brazilian Real and the South African Rand depreciated against the US Dollar (-17.39%, -27.39%, -12.06% respectively).

By December 2021 schools were fully open, albeit with children wearing masks, offices were beginning to reopen, and the beginning of the end seemed to be in sight. The front-line workers were still stretched but continued to battle on showing the resilience of the people.

The Company suffered losses across the year, with the Book Value decreasing -24.59% (for a breakdown of the Total Return on the year, please see page 7, 2021 in Review). Given the newest variants and drawdowns seen in November there was a significant recovery in December to end the year at this position.

In addition to this, following the Company's recent acquisitions, I believe our Direct Investment Portfolio is now very well positioned to benefit from several growing trends across Emerging Markets globally, particularly with reference to impact and socially responsible investing. Delphos International based out of Washington has seen significant growth with many opportune hires and extremely well-placed mandates being signed. Parish Group in Guernsey has continued to perform at an excellent level providing a sustainable return to the group, as well as New Market Media in the UK seeing its best annual performance in 2021.

Bart Turtelboom

CEO, APQ Global Limited

2021 IN REVIEW

At the end of December, the Book Value Per Share was $0.30 (equivalent to £0.22) compared to $0.40 (£0.29) at the end of December 2020. Nearly the entire move in performance was driven by our equity market exposure. The Company maintained a very healthy cash position of 41.6% of the liquid market portfolio assets.

At the end of the fourth quarter, our exposure remained largely unchanged from where it started the year. We continue to have minimal exposure to interest rates and credit markets and the bulk of our liquid market exposure is in a basket of COVID recovery stocks. We continue to expect a gradual return to normal as vaccination rates pick up globally.

Throughout 2021 the COVID virus had seen many mutations particularly during the fourth quarter, a new COVID variant, Omicron, broke out across the Eurozone, particularly in the UK, causing several countries to re-introduce measures on sectors such as travel and hospitality in order to try and reduce the spread of the new variant. However, encouraging signs around Omicron during the latter part of the quarter saw several economically sensitive areas of the market recover from losses they had sustained in the initial sell-off in November, such as the banks. Some areas reliant on economies reopening, such as travel and leisure and the oil and gas sector, were unable to make up losses and ended the quarter lower.

The chart below shows the breakdown of the equity exposure by sector. The largest exposure at the end of December was to Industrials (43.6% in 2021, 45.6% in 2020, followed by Financials (28.6% in 2021, 28.3% in 2020).

Sector	Exposure
Communication Services	6.9%
Consumer Discretionary	2.9%
Financials	28.6%
Industrials	43.6%
Materials	12.9%
Utilities	5.2%

As of December 2021, 96.2% of the Company's exposure (excluding cash and FX hedges) was to equities, whilst the rates exposure accounted for a further 3.8%.

Asset Class	% Exposure as at 31 December 2021	% Exposure as at 31 December 2020
Credit	0.0%	0.0%
Equity	96.2%	88.5%
FX	0.0%	10.0%
Rates	3.8%	1.5%
TOTAL	100.0%	100.0%

2021 IN REVIEW (continued)

Direct Investment Portfolio[11]

As of 31 December 2021, the Company held majority investment stakes in five private businesses, following its acquisition of Delphos FMA in Canada for a total consideration of $415,000 representing 1.76% of the Group's book value at 31 December 2021. The valuation of the Direct Investment Portfolio has increased by 14.0% year on year with the increase mainly attributable to Parish Group Limited and to the acquisition of Delphos FMA - Frontier Markets Advisors Inc.

The acquisition of WDM in Malta is still pending the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) approval, and progress remains steady. We have preliminarily agreed to exit our entire position in BARTR Holdings, marked in the book value at zero since Dec 2020.

Post Balance Sheet Events (PBSE)

On 3 February 2022, APQ Global Limited exited its investment in BARTR Holdings Limited for a total consideration of £1.

Also, in Q1 of 2022, Russia and Ukraine have been in conflict, resulting in Russia undertaking military actions. This situation has led to global sanctions being imposed on it as well as business and individuals providing support to the Russian government. While this has contributed to uncertainty affecting global financial markets, the Group's investments are not directly or indirectly affected by the imposition of the sanctions. The directors continue to monitor the conflict and will implement mitigating actions as necessary.

BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY

For the year ended 31 December 2021

The objective of the Company is to steadily grow its earnings to seek to deliver attractive returns and capital growth through a combination of building growing businesses well as earning revenue from income generating operating activities in capital markets[12].

The Company's strategy is to:

(i) gain exposure to sovereign, corporate and banking entities for a range of business purposes, including for acquisition financing, working capital and investment purposes. The terms of any bonds or loans will vary but are typically expected to range from six months to five years. The Company expects that the loans will typically be secured;

(ii) invest in different parts of the capital structure, both public and private, of corporate and banking entities in as well as structured finance instruments; and

(iii) take operational control of businesses through the acquisition of minority and majority stakes in public and private companies.

The Company may utilise borrowings in connection with its business activities. Although there is no prescribed limit in the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the 'Articles') or elsewhere on the amount of borrowings that the Company may incur, the Directors will adopt a prudent borrowing policy and oversee the level and term of any borrowings of the Company and will review the position on a regular basis.

The Company has no investment restrictions and investing will not be subject to any maximum exposure limits. No material change will be made to the Company's objective or investing policy without the approval of Shareholders by ordinary resolution. The Company may gain exposure to emerging markets by investing in assets on other, non-emerging markets (such as the London Stock Exchange) as long as the underlying asset has exposure to emerging markets.

Key performance indicators ("KPIs") for the Company will be the growth of the earnings of the Company and the Dividend paid. The Company's KPI's have been selected in accordance with the above strategy to provide both capital gain and income to the Company's shareholders. These KPIs are:

(i) A sufficient per annum increase in earnings to allow a 6% dividend to be paid to shareholders. For the year ended 31 December 2021, the Company did not achieve this KPI and the actual dividends paid, related to performance in FY 2021, were 0%.

(ii) Additional per annum increase in earnings to grow the Company's Book Value by 5 - 10% per annum. For the year ended 31 December 2021, this KPI was not met as earnings decreased from the prior year (see consolidated statement of comprehensive income), and hence the Book Value Per Share fell Year on Year. The main factor driving the earnings decrease was the performance of the Liquid Market Portfolio. In 2021, the Company did not meet this criterion, following operating losses at the Company amidst tough trading conditions in Emerging Markets.

Alternative Performance Measure ("APM") for the Company:

(iii) One of the Company's KPI's is to pay a 6% Dividend Yield (based on capital subscribed), making income received a key component of the return on investment. The Company makes use of the Total Return, which factors in income received, as well as capital gained, when tracking the performance of the Company and its ability to meet the above KPI. The Total Return on the year was -24.59%.

BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2021

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Board has carried out a robust assessment of the Company's principal risks. These are classified as current risks, being those that the company is currently managing and could impact achieving the Company's objectives, and emerging risks, being those risks with a future impact from external or internal opportunities or threats. The Directors believe the risks described below are the material risks relating to the Company:

Business Area/Process	Perceived risk	Current or emerging risk	Mitigation
Environment	Changes in law or regulation or tax legislation may adversely affect the Company's ability to carry on its business or adversely impact its tax position and liabilities.	Current and emerging	Considered on an ongoing basis by the Board during quarterly board meetings. Further advice comes from the Investment Advisory Committee. Where deemed necessary the Directors will engage external legal and professional advisers.
Key man risk	The Company's performance is dependent on the performance of key members of management. The departure of any key individual from the management team may adversely affect the returns available to the Company.	Current	The Board monitors the dependency of the Company upon any individual on an ongoing basis and where appropriate plans to reduce the impact from this risk.
FX	The Company and its Investees will have an exposure to foreign exchange rate risk as a result of changes, both unfavourable and favourable, in exchange rates between United States Dollars and the currencies in which some assets and liabilities are denominated. The Company's functional and presentational currency is US Dollars. Therefore, there is currency risk as Ordinary Shares are traded on AIM in Pounds Sterling. Further detail on foreign exchange risks are discussed in Note 25 of the Financial Statements.	Current	The Company has taken the decision not to hedge its foreign currency exposure, in regards to the Ordinary shares, and thus accepts this risk as part of its investment strategy. The Board may engage in currency hedging in the future, seeking to mitigate foreign exchange risk although there can be no guarantees or assurances that the Group will successfully hedge against such risks.
Cyber Security	The Company will be subject to Cyber Risk in the form of both risk of failure of systems and also of the risk of malignant action against the Company by way of Information Technology.	Current	The Company makes use of Dual Signing Authority and two factor authentication across its banking and other key functional areas where it is available. The Company relies on its service providers to have in place proper cybersecurity systems and monitors its providers through the annual third party service provider review.
Dividend Risk	There can be no guarantee that the Group will achieve the target rates of return referred to in this document or that it will not sustain any capital losses through its activities. The ability to pay dividends is dependent on a number of factors including the level of income returns from the Company's investee entities.	Current	The Group monitors its income through its management accounts and targets investments that provide income in accordance with its strategy, laid out on the Strategy section on page 9 above.
Financial Risk	The Company will, through the implementation of its business model and strategy, face financial risks including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Further details of these risks can be found in table 2 below.	Current and emerging	These risks and the controls in place to mitigate them are reviewed at board meetings. Further detail on financial risks are discussed in Note 25 of the Financial Statements.

BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2021

Principal Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

Business Area/Process	Perceived risk	Current or emerging risk	Mitigation
Volatility	There may be volatility in the price of the Ordinary Shares and the market price of the Ordinary Shares may rise or fall rapidly. The price of the Ordinary Shares may decline below their respective issue price and Shareholders may not be able to sell their Ordinary Shares at a price equal to or greater than their issue price.	Current and emerging	To optimise returns, Shareholders may need to hold the Ordinary Shares for the long term.
Liquidity	Shareholders will have no right of redemption and must rely, in part, on the existence of a liquid market in order to realise their investment. Although the Ordinary Shares are admitted to trading on AIM, there can be no assurance as to the levels of secondary market trading in Ordinary Shares or the prices at which Ordinary Shares may trade. The Ordinary Shares may trade at a discount to the Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share.	Current	The Board monitors the liquidity of the stock during its quarterly board meetings. The Company employs market making firms to ensure a live market is available in its ordinary shares.
Leverage	The Company has CULS which it is required to repay interest on quarterly, at a rate 3.5% pa. The Company must ensure that it has liquid resources available to repay this interest. Furthermore, any CULS not previously redeemed, purchased or converted will be repaid by the Company on 30 September 2024 at its nominal amount and thus the Company must ensure it has resources available at this time to make these repayments.	Current	The Board monitors the leverage present in the Company via its monthly management accounts.
Brexit	The Directors note that the Company's future performance may be adversely affected by the economic and political instability surrounding the impacts of Britain's exit from the EU.	Current and emerging	The Board monitors the ongoing situation and is prepared to respond accordingly as situations evolve.
Covid-19	The Directors note that the Company's future performance may be adversely affected by the impact of Covid-19 on the Global economy.	Current	The Company has successfully migrated its staff to work from home where required and has not encountered any operational, trading, or other issues related to the migration. The Board continues to monitor the ongoing impacts from Covid-19.
War in Ukraine	Russia initiated miliary action against Ukraine in February 2022. To deter these actions, western governments levied sanctions against the Russian government and connected enterprises and individuals.	Emerging	The Company and Group does not have any investments that are directly or indirectly affected by the sanctions levied to date thus the impact of this risk is limited to the effect of global uncertainty arising as a result. Directors continue to monitor the conflict and investment portfolio and will implement necessary actions where possible to reduce the impact from further escalation of military actions and sanctions.

BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2021

Principal Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

The Directors believe the risks described below are the material risks relating to the Company through its investment in APQ Cayman Limited:

Business Area/Process	Perceived risk	Current or emerging risk	Mitigation
Emerging Markets	APQ Cayman Limited will have investment exposure to emerging markets, which are subject to certain risks and special considerations that are not typically associated with more developed markets and economies.	Current	The Company engages a team to actively monitor treasury exposures live in high-end risk management software applications. The team monitors exposure and uses a comprehensive framework, utilising its administrator, banking counterparts and other third party vendors, to ensure exposure levels are correctly measured and reported daily.
Derivative Risk	APQ Cayman Limited will invest in derivative instruments which can be highly volatile and may be difficult to value and/or liquidate. Derivatives will be used for gearing purposes which may expose investors to a high risk of loss.	Current	The Company employs a highly experienced management team that monitors exposure on a daily basis and captures derivative exposure using high-end risk software applications. Daily reports are generated from the software and reviewed by the team.
Credit Risk	APQ Cayman Limited is subject to the risk of the inability of any counterparty to perform with respect to transactions, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes. Where the Company utilises derivative instruments, it is likely to take credit risk with regard to such counterparties and bear the risk of settlement default.	Current	The Company chooses reputable financial service providers, and uses a spread of counterparties to lessen the impact should one counterparty fail.
Liquidity Risk	The Company could suffer losses as a result of a decrease in liquidity in the capital markets in which it invests. A decrease in liquidity could result in higher exit costs for a given investment, such as the commission or spread charged by the counterparties with which it trades.	Current	The Company chooses reputable financial service providers, and uses a spread of providers to lessen the impact should one be unable to provide a market price.
Third party risk	APQ Cayman Limited will be subject to custody risk in the event of the insolvency of any custodian or sub-custodians with which it transacts.	Emerging	The Company chooses reputable financial service providers as its counterparties, and uses multiple service providers to lessen the impact should one become insolvent.

The Directors believe the risks described below are the material risks relating to the Company through its unquoted investments:

Business Area/Process	Perceived risk	Current or emerging risk	Mitigation
Valuation Risk	The Company's Direct Investment portfolio comprises unquoted investments purchased and sold privately, for which there is no market price available. As a result, management is required to make forecasts and assumptions about certain inputs used in the valuation of these investments. The Company could suffer losses, should these forecasts or assumptions not materialise.	Current	The Company values its investments in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and employs external valuation experts to perform these valuations.

BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2021

Principal Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

These risks are mitigated by the control and oversight of the Board. The Board will consider the risks of the Company as a whole on a regular basis at its Board meetings and on an annual basis shall review the effectiveness of its risk management systems, ensuring that all aspects of risk management and internal control are considered. The processes for its annual reviews includes reporting and recommendations from the Board as well as adoption and review of a formal risk matrix documenting the existing and emerging risks facing the Company, as well as the assessed probability and impact of the identified risks. Other risk mitigation measures include, but are not limited to:

• Oversight by Executive Directors and key management with the requisite knowledge and experience in emerging and credit markets;

• Oversight by Non-Executive Directors;

• Dual signing authority on bank accounts;

• Business Continuity Plans of the various service providers;

• Ongoing Cyber Risk training; and

• Ongoing review of third party service providers by the Board.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

For the year ended 31 December 2021

The Directors present the consolidated financial statements of APQ Global Limited (the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Group comprises the Company and its subsidiaries[13].

The Company

The Company was incorporated in Guernsey on 10 May 2016. The Company's shares ("Shares") were admitted to The International Stock Exchange on 11 August 2016 and admitted to trading on the AIM segment of the London Stock Exchange on 26 August 2016. The CULS have been admitted to the Order Book for Fixed Income Securities on the London Stock Exchange's International Securities Market, with effect from 7 September 2017.

Principal Activities

The principal activity of the Company is to invest in Companies in emerging markets through the purchase of a variety of financial instruments, including equity, bonds and derivatives through the subsidiary APQ Cayman Limited, and through direct investments in private companies. The Company seeks to earn revenue from dividends and interest received from these investments and realise gains on sales of these investments. Additionally, the Company aims to take majority stakes in private businesses, seeking to earn income throughout the holding period and capital gains upon resale. The anticipated holding period between purchase and sale is expected to be three to seven years.

Functional and presentational currency

The Group's functional and presentational currency is US Dollars. The Group's main activities and returns for the year ended 31 December 2021 are from its subsidiary APQ Cayman Limited and were in US Dollars.

Results and Dividends

The consolidated results for the year are set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on page 35 and the Statement of Financial Position at that date is set out on page 36.

The Company did not pay any dividends during the year (2020: 1.5 pence (1.97 cent) per share was declared on 23 January 2020 for the quarter ended 31 December 2019).

Share Capital

As at 31 December 2021 the Company had in issue 78,453,671 (2020: 78,347,359) Ordinary Shares of nil par value. During the year 106,312 (2020: 106,312) Ordinary shares were issued.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

A significant risk that continued during the current and prior year was the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the first quarter of 2020 and into 2021, the Company experienced difficult trading conditions in its liquid portfolio due to large market movements in emerging markets currencies, bonds and equities.

The Company took decisive action to mitigate further risk to the balance sheet, de-risking its portfolio of liquid market securities, furthermore, due to ongoing uncertainty, the Board implemented the following cash preservation measure to facilitate a smooth recovery as the world exits the pandemic:

• Suspension of dividends paid to ordinary shareholders until further notice;

• The management bonus scheme to be cut from 20% of profits to 10% (no bonuses paid in 2021 and 2020 due to losses); and

• Significant cost reduction across all of the Group.

Further Principal Risks and Uncertainties are disclosed in the Business Model and Strategy section.

Going Concern

The Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements since the ultimate assets of the Company mainly consist of securities which are readily realisable and, accordingly, the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of this report. The Company will be able to meet all its liabilities as they fall due. See below for the Stress Testing applied in coming to this conclusion.

Stress Testing

After assessing the Company as a Going Concern in normal (poor) economic conditions across a one year horizon, the Company would maintain a sufficient expense coverage ratio net of paying all its operating expenses and net of its financial payment obligations to the CULS. The Company would not breach any debt covenants and would retain USD 30.8 (+18.4) million in cash as of March 1, 2023[14].

Under normal market assumptions, the Company assumes that it meets all its financial obligations as well as its operating expenses. It earns a nominal income/growth yield on its Liquid Market Portfolio based on prevailing market risk premiums. The Company forecasts to receive dividend income from its Direct Investment Portfolio in line with those paid throughout 2022 ($2.5 million). Under poor economic conditions, the earnings assumptions are halved, and zero dividends are received from the Company's Direct Investment Portfolio, whilst the financial obligations and expenses are held constant. There are zero Fair Value Profit or Losses assumed on the Direct Investment Portfolio throughout the period under review.

Dividend Suspension

The suspension of the dividend paid to ordinary shareholders will increase the liquidity available to the Company by approximately $6m per annum based on level of dividends paid prior to implementation of the dividend hold. The Board reviews the dividend policy quarterly. The dividend remains on hold until further notice.

Long Term Viability Statement

There is currently no strict regime of Corporate Governance to which the Company must adhere to, however there are guidelines set out for AIM companies. The Company complies with the UK code on Corporate Governance, issued July 2019 for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 to the extent outlined in the Corporate Governance section below on pages 16 and 17. In accordance with provision 31 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Directors have assessed the prospects of the Company over a longer period than the 12 months minimum required by the 'Going Concern' provision. Three years is deemed to be an appropriate time period for management to implement its medium-term strategic objectives set out in the Business Model and Strategy section (page 9) of these financial statements.

Further to this page - Going Concern, the Company extends its above analysis to a three-year cash flow forecast (to December 2024) using newly targeted budgets and concluded that:

Assuming normal (poor) economic conditions[15], the Company would preserve an expense coverage ratio net of its financial obligations of 25 (19), retaining USD 9 (+3) million in cash on its balance sheet as of Jan 1, 2025 providing considerable headroom to absorb poor conditions. These figures include the settlement of the CULS of $41m in September 2024. The Group currently holds a liquid markets portfolio which is valued in excess of the redemption value of the CULS. The group will liquidate the portfolio over the next two years in preparation for the redemption,

Based on the Company's processes for monitoring operating costs, share discount, internal controls, invested asset allocation, risk profile, liquidity risk and the assessment of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company, the Directors have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the forecasted period to 31 December 2024

The Common Reporting Standard ("CRS") is a standard developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") and is a global approach for the automatic exchange of tax information. Guernsey has adopted the CRS which came into effect on 1 January 2016. The CRS replaced the intergovernmental agreement between the UK and Guernsey to improve tax compliance that had previously applied.

Statement of directors' responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable Guernsey law and regulations.

The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards ("UK IAS") and the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 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 of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

The directors are also required to prepare financial statements in accordance with the rules of the London Stock Exchange for companies trading securities on AIM.

In preparing these financial statements the Directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures being disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.

Statement of directors' responsibilities (continued)

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and its results for the year and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The maintenance and integrity of the company's website is the responsibility of the directors. The directors' responsibility also extends to the ongoing integrity of the financial statements contained therein.

Responsibility Statement

The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge the Annual Report, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for the shareholders to assess the Group's performance, business model and strategy.

Disclosure of Information to Auditor

Each of the persons who was a Director at the date of approval of the financial statements confirms that:

· so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware; and

· he has taken all steps that he ought to have taken as a Director to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information.

This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provision of section 249 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

Corporate Governance

The Directors recognise the importance of robust Corporate Governance and meet regularly to review corporate strategy, the risk profile of the Group and its operating businesses and to monitor the performance of the service providers appointed to the Group. The Board assesses and monitors the culture of the Company, and reviews the sustainability of the Company's business model and its impact on external stakeholders. Due to the size of the Company the Board are able to monitor the culture through regular contact with employees. More information with respect to the Company's Business Model can be found on page 9.

There is currently no strict regime of Corporate Governance to which the Directors must adhere over and above the general fiduciary duties and duties of care, diligence and skill imposed on such directors under the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008; however, there are guidelines set out for AIM companies. The Directors recognise the importance of sound corporate governance and the Group will seek to take appropriate measures to ensure that the Group complies with the UK Code on Corporate Governance to the extent appropriate and taking into account the size of the Group and the nature of its business. The Directors, having reviewed the UK Code on Corporate Governance, considers that it has complied with the Code throughout the period under review with the exception of the following areas of non-compliance, each of which applied throughout the period:

Areas of non-compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code which were disclosed at the launch of the Company:

• Provision 5 - The Board does not use any of the methods outlined for engagement with the workforce, further information on the Board's engagement with the workforce is listed below;

• Provision 9 - The Chairman is not independent;

• Provision 11 - At least half the Board, excluding the chairman are not independent non-executive directors;

• Provision 12 - The non-executive directors, led by the senior non-executive director do not meet without the chair at least annually to appraise his performance or on other such occasions which are deemed appropriate;

• Provision 13 - The chair does not hold meetings without the executive directors present;

• Provision 17 - The Company does not have a nominations committee;

• Provision 20 - The Company did not use open advertising and/or an external search consultancy when appointing the chair and the non-executive directors;

• Provision 21 - The Board does not have a regular externally facilitated board evaluation;

• Provision 24 - The audit committee does not contain two independent non-executive directors. The chairman of the Company is a member of the audit committee;

• Provision 23 - The Company does not have a formal policy on diversity and inclusion; and

• Provision 32, 33 and 41 - The Company does not have a remuneration committee.

Corporate Governance (continued)

The Directors do not believe that compliance with these sections of the code are necessary due to the size of the Group and the nature of its business. Following the resignation of the Aspida Group (formerly Active Group) as Company Secretary on 10 June 2020 the Company no longer has a material business relation with the Chairman, and he will be formally deemed to be independent after three years from this date. With regards to a remuneration and nomination committee, these responsibilities are undertaken by the full board as appropriate. The Chair meets with fellow Directors and executives regularly. The Board has recently undertaken an independent Governance Review to ensure it continues to meet all appropriate governance standards.

As a Company with its shares admitted to listing on TISE, the Directors comply with the Model Code of TISE and take all reasonable and proper steps to ensure compliance by applicable employees as required by the Listing Rules. The Directors and the Company also comply at all times with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules.

The Company has adopted an anti-bribery policy and adheres to the requirements of the Prevention of Corruption (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2003 and the UK Bribery Act 2010.

Board engagement with the workforce and other stakeholders

Due to the size and nature of the business, the directors do not believe that compliance with Provision 5 of the code is necessary. All members of the workforce have access to the executive and non-executive directors and the Board maintains an open dialogue with all members.

The Board considers the impact of the Group's culture, management, and strategic decisions on both the workforce and other external stakeholders. These external stakeholders include, but are not limited to suppliers, the environment and other stakeholders of investments held by the Group.

Internal Audit

The Directors have determined that no internal audit function is required, as the bookkeeping and valuation of assets are performed by third parties, which provides checks and balances on the operations of the Group. The Directors believe that an internal audit function would largely duplicate this oversight and represent additional cost for no additional benefit. The Directors reassess this annually.

Role of the Board

The Board is the Company's governing body and has overall responsibility for maximising the Company's success by directing and supervising the affairs of the business and meeting the appropriate interests of Shareholders and relevant stakeholders, while enhancing the value of the Company and also ensuring protection of Shareholders. A summary of the Board's responsibilities is as follows:

• Statutory obligations and public disclosure;

• Strategic matters and financial reporting;

• Risk assessment and management including reporting compliance, governance, monitoring and control; and

• Other matters having a material effect on the Company.

The Board's responsibilities for the Annual Reports are set out in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities section.

The Board needs to ensure that the Annual Report and Financial Statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide the information necessary for Shareholders to assess the Group's performance, business model and strategy.

In seeking to achieve this, the Directors have set out the Group's business strategy and have explained how the Board and its delegated committee operate and how the directors review the risk environment within which the Company operates and set appropriate risk controls. Furthermore, throughout the Annual Report the Board has sought to provide further information to enable Shareholders to have a fair, balanced and understandable view.

Composition and Independence of the Board

The Board comprises two executive directors, one independent non-executive director and one non-independent non-executive director.

Role of the Board (continued)

Composition and Independence of the Board (continued)

Wayne Bulpitt is responsible for leadership of the Board and ensuring its effectiveness as Non-executive Chairman, a role he has held since 20 April 2017. He is not considered independent by virtue of him being the joint chairman of Aspida group of which Aspida Services (Group) Limited is a member, and which supplied administrative services to the Company during the year. On the 10 June 2020, Aspida Services (Group) ceased to supply administrative services to the company.

Bart Turtelboom continues to serve as Chief Executive Officer

Wesley Davis stepped down as an Executive Director and Finance Director during the year.

Philip Soulsby replaced Wesley Davis as Finance Director.

Wadhah Al-Adawi was appointed as Non-executive director and replaced Philip Soulsby as Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Re-election

At every Annual General Meeting any Director appointed by the Board since the last annual general meeting or who held office at the time of the two preceding annual general meetings and who did not retire at either of them shall retire from office and may offer themselves for re-appointment by the Shareholders.

At the AGM to be held on 9 August 2022, all the Directors shall offer themselves for re-election.

Terms and Conditions of Appointment on Non-Executive Directors

Each of the Non-Executive Directors shall be subject to re-elections at the first annual general meeting of the Company and thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the Company's articles of incorporation in respect of re-election and retirement. Neither of the Non-Executive Directors has been appointed for a fixed term.

The conditions attached to the appointment of the Non-Executive Directors include the following:

• termination in the event of any serious breach of obligations to the Company or through any act of dishonesty, fraud or serious misconduct;

• attendance at quarterly and ad hoc board meetings and consideration of all board papers pertaining to such meetings;

• compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements; and

• compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements including the TISE model share dealing code and the UK Corporate Governance Code.

Board Evaluation and Succession Planning

The Directors consider how the Board functions as a whole taking into account the balance of skills, experience and length of service into consideration and also reviews the individual performance of its members on an annual basis.

Board Evaluation and Succession Planning (continued)

To enable this evaluation to take place, the Board has put in place a process whereby the Company Secretary circulates a questionnaire plus a separate questionnaire for the evaluation of the Chairman. Upon completion, the questionnaires are returned to the Company Secretary for collation and summary before distribution to the Chairman and the other Directors.

The Board considers that it has a breadth of experience relevant to the Company's needs and that any changes to the Board's composition can be managed without undue disruption. Future Directors will undertake an induction programme.

With regards to board composition and external evaluation, the board has considered its effectiveness at least annually and composition on a regular basis. It is both mindful of good practice and the need to continually review the matter. With regards to external evaluation,

it is considered that the size and the activity of the Company do not justify such an expense at this stage, however a recent change of service providers and Company Secretary will allow the company to benefit from a "fresh pair of eyes" and informal review.

The Board is cognisant of good practice and recent reviews into the composition of boards. It continually reviews its own composition and believes that it has available an appropriate range of skills and experience. The Board will always ensure that the best candidates available are appointed irrespective of their background, gender or ethnicity.

Company Secretary

During the previous year, the Company's Secretarial function was delegated to Aspida Services (Guernsey) Limited. From 10 June 2020, Parish Group Limited were appointed as Company Secretary. All Directors have direct access to the Company Secretary and the Company Secretary is responsible for ensuring that Board procedures are followed and that there is good communication within the Board and between the committees of the board listed below and the Board.

Committees of the Board

The Board has established the following committees:

Audit committee

The audit committee is chaired by Wadhah Al-Adawi (replaced Philip Soulsby during the year), the independent Director, with all the other Directors as members. The audit committee meets no less than once a calendar year and meetings can also be attended by the Auditors.

The audit committee is responsible for monitoring the integrity of the financial statements of the company and any formal announcements relating to the company's financial performance, and reviewing significant financial reporting judgements contained in them before their submission to the Board. In addition, the audit committee is specifically charged under its terms of reference to advise the Board on the terms and scope of the appointment of the Auditors, including their remuneration, independence, objectivity and reviewing with the Auditors the results and effectiveness of the audit, and in ensuring that the Company's annual report and financial statements are fair, balanced and understandable.

REMUNERATION POLICY

For the year ended 31 December 2021

No advice or services were provided by any external person in respect of the Board's consideration of the Directors' remuneration.

The Company's policy is that the fees payable to the Directors should reflect the time spent by the Directors on the Company's affairs and the responsibilities borne by the Directors and be sufficient to attract, retain and motivate directors of a quality required to run the Company successfully. The policy is to review fee rates periodically, although such a review will not necessarily result in any changes to the rates, and account is taken of fees paid to directors of comparable companies.

A management share plan was formalised on 7 April 2017 and amended on 17 July 2018. The plan allows for certain members of the management to benefit from 20% of any increase in the year end book value per share for a given year. Awards can be issued as an allocation of a specified number of shares or as an option (a right to acquired shares under the plan for nil consideration). Cash consideration is an option at the Board's discretion. It could disadvantage other shareholders if cash is taken and cash consideration exceeds the share price. The vesting period for any awards issued can be up to 5 years and subject to certain conditions. Share awards were with respect to the performance period ended 31 December 2017, which have continued to vest over the period. No awards have been issued with respect to the year ended 31 December 2020 and the year ended 31 December 2021 as the performance criteria has not been met.

Remuneration

The non-executive directors are remunerated for their services at such a rate as the Directors determine provided that the aggregate amount of such fees does not exceed $270,550 per annum. No engagement with the workforce has taken place to explain how remuneration aligns with wider company pay policy, this is due to the small size of the Company.

The directors are remunerated in the form of fees, payable monthly in arrears. Bart Turtelboom agreed to waive his entitlement to director's fees whilst he was Chairman. From April 2017 Bart Turtelboom received an annual salary of £120,000 as Chief Executive Officer. From 1 April 2018 the salary was amended to be settled as £60,000 from the Company and £60,000 from APQ Cayman Limited.

From 1 May 2020 the salary was amended to be settled as £24,000 from the Company and £96,000 from APQ Cayman Limited.

The Board considers that the salary is reasonable and commensurate with the level of the appointment.

Bart Turtelboom is eligible for a grant of share awards in accordance with the management share plan. For the performance period ended 31 December 2017, Bart Turtelboom was awarded 467,313 share awards which vest quarterly over a 5 year period ending 31 December 2022. In order for the shares to vest Bart Turtelboom must continue to be in employment at each vesting milestone. For the year ended 31 December 2021 93,463 shares had vested of which 70,098 had been issued. The charge for the year ended 31 December 2021 is $46,033 (2020: $86,666) and the remaining portion yet to vest is $15,800 (2020: $61,833).

No other remuneration has been paid to directors apart from reimbursement of their expenses.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF APQ GLOBAL LIMITED

Opinion on the financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of the Group's loss for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

We have audited the financial statements of APQ Global Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Group financial statements is applicable law and UK adopted international accounting standards.

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 entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

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's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:

· Obtaining management's and the Directors' assessment of the going concern status of the Group and evaluating the method of assessing going concern in light of market volatility and the present uncertainties such as the impact of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.

· Challenging the assumptions and judgements made, such as forecast revenue and expenditure against historic information.

· Assessing the stress testing forecasts which included the impact of poor economic conditions on income arising from the investment portfolio and the ability to cover expenditure and interest payments under these conditions. We considered these stressed scenarios against the performance in 2021 in which poor economic conditions had occurred to determine the appropriateness of the stress test and the effect on going concern.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

An overview of the scope of our audit

Our Group audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the Group and its environment, including the Group's system of internal control, and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including assessing whether there was evidence of bias by the Directors that may have represented a risk of material misstatement.

The group comprises the Parent Company, APQ Global Limited, one subsidiary, APQ Partners LLP which is consolidated, four 100% owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated but measured at fair value through profit and loss due to APQ Global Limited meeting the definition of an investment entity and one 50% owned entity also valued at fair value through profit and loss. All components in the group were in scope for our audit. For the parent company and for the subsidiary that is consolidated a full scope audit was performed by the group audit team and for the entities that were not consolidated, the group audit team audited each of the investments.

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.

Valuation & Existence of Investments - Cayman Subsidiary and directly held listed investments Note 2.6, 2.7, 15 and 25	The Company has an investment in its subsidiary APQ Cayman Limited (the "Cayman subsidiary") which represents the largest balance in the financial statements. As described in note 2.6, 2.7, 15 and 25, the fair value of the investment in the Cayman subsidiary is based on the net asset value (NAV) of the Cayman subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary's NAV is made up of cash balances (41%), a diverse portfolio of listed equity and derivative instruments (59%) and other assets and liabilities (<1%). The Cayman subsidiary has a portfolio of level 1 and level 2 investments that are recognised at fair value and there is a risk these may not be appropriately stated and/or title over these investments may not exist. Furthermore, the Group holds direct listed investments. Valuation and existence of investments are considered to be key audit matters due to the size of the balance and the level of audit effort required.	Our procedures performed on the fair value of the Cayman subsidiary included: Cash In respect of the cash balances: · 100% of cash balances have been confirmed to third party bank or custodian statements. Valuation of Listed Equity Investments In respect of 100% of the quoted investment valuations: · We confirmed year end prices to independent sources and verified that there are no contra indicators, such as liquidity considerations, to suggest year end prices are not the most appropriate indication of fair value. Valuation of Derivative Investments Derivative investments comprised bonds, futures and forwards. For 100% of the derivative investment valuations: · We performed re-calculations of the derivative contracts using external sources (e.g. Bloomberg). Checked that the aggregate valuation of each of the above reconciled to the fair value of the investment in the Cayman subsidiary in the financial statements.

Key audit matter

How the scope of our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation & Existence of Investments - Cayman Subsidiary and directly held listed investments

Note 2.6, 2.7, 15 and 25

The Company has an investment in its subsidiary APQ Cayman Limited (the "Cayman subsidiary") which represents the largest balance in the financial statements.

As described in note 2.6, 2.7, 15 and 25, the fair value of the investment in the Cayman subsidiary is based on the net asset value (NAV) of the Cayman subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary's NAV is made up of cash balances (41%), a diverse portfolio of listed equity and derivative instruments (59%) and other assets and liabilities (<1%).

The Cayman subsidiary has a portfolio of level 1 and level 2 investments that are recognised at fair value and there is a risk these may not be appropriately stated and/or title over these investments may not exist.

Furthermore, the Group holds direct listed investments.

Valuation and existence of investments are considered to be key audit matters due to the size of the balance and the level of audit effort required.

Our procedures performed on the fair value of the Cayman subsidiary included:

Cash

In respect of the cash balances:

· 100% of cash balances have been confirmed to third party bank or custodian statements.

Valuation of Listed Equity Investments

In respect of 100% of the quoted investment valuations:

· We confirmed year end prices to independent sources and verified that there are no contra indicators, such as liquidity considerations, to suggest year end prices are not the most appropriate indication of fair value.

Valuation of Derivative Investments

Derivative investments comprised bonds, futures and forwards. For 100% of the derivative investment valuations:

· We performed re-calculations of the derivative contracts using external sources (e.g. Bloomberg).

Checked that the aggregate valuation of each of the above reconciled to the fair value of the investment in the Cayman subsidiary in the financial statements.

In respect of the directly held listed investments we have performed the following:

Existence of Investments

For 100% of investments held by the Cayman subsidiary and 100% of listed investments held directly by the Company we obtained evidence to support existence by obtaining independent confirmations obtained from custodians and brokers.

Key Observations

Based on the procedures performed we considered management's valuations of these investments to be appropriate and that there is appropriate title supporting the existence of investments.

Valuation & Existence of Investments - Other investments

Note 2.6, 2.7, 15 and 25

The Group holds investments in a number of other entities either directly or indirectly through subsidiary holding companies.

As described in note 2.6, 2.7, 15 and note 25, the fair values of the investments are determined by a variety of techniques. These unquoted investments are recognised at fair value and there is a risk these may not be appropriately valued through utilising inappropriate valuation methodologies or assumptions and/or title over these investments may not exist.

For all investments we:

· Challenged whether the valuation methodology was the most appropriate in the circumstances under the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation ("IPEV") Guidelines and applicable accounting standards;

· Recalculated the fair value attributable to the Group.

For 100% of investments that were valued using more subjective techniques (discounted cash flow forecasts, revenue multiples and earnings multiples) we:

· We reviewed the valuations prepared by management's expert and challenged and corroborated the inputs to the valuations with reference to management information on investee companies, market data and our own understanding;

· We considered the competence, capabilities and expertise of the management expert through consideration of the qualifications held by the expert and the position held in the firm employing the expert. We also considered the services provided by the firm which employs the expert. We considered the independence and objectivity of the expert through review of the independence declaration made by the expert to the Company in its valuation report. We considered the appropriateness of the methodology and assumptions employed by the expert through review of the accounting framework and valuation guidelines followed;

· Reviewed recent management information available to support assumptions about maintainable revenues, expenditure, working capital and tax which formed the basis of the cash flow forecasts used in the valuations; In order to gain further comfort over this management information we:

o Agreed a sample of revenue per the investee companies management accounts back to invoice to support the existence of revenue in the current year;

o Considered the ability of management to forecast accurately by comparing the 2021 actual figures to the 2021 forecasts produced in 2020 and received as part of our 2020 audit;

o Obtained an understanding for management's forecasts for revenue and considered that against our knowledge of the entity and the wider market;

o Obtained management's forecast EBITDA margins, depreciation and working capital and reviewed for reasonableness based on current year actuals and the forecast for revenue;

o Considered management's forecast tax rate and considered this against the tax rates in place and future tax rates announced for the relevant jurisdictions.

· Considered the discount rate applied to the cash flow forecasts by reference to venture capital discount rates and where relevant performed a recalculation of the cost of equity calculation and validated the inputs utilised, which included stress testing;

· Considered the appropriateness of the cash flow forecast period with reference to our knowledge of the subsidiaries and industry norms; and

· Considered the appropriateness of the comparator market and transaction multiples used with regards to the operating activities of these companies.

We assessed the impact of the estimation uncertainty concerning the assumptions by, where appropriate, performing sensitivity analysis by developing our own point estimate where we considered that alternative input assumptions could reasonably have been applied. We considered the overall impact of such sensitivities on the portfolio of investments in determining whether the valuations as a whole are reasonable and free from bias.

For 100% of investments held at nil we:

· We considered the rationale for a nil valuation and obtained confirmation that the entities are newly set up and have not been trading during 2021 and therefore have no management accounts as they have no assets, liabilities, income or expenses.

Existence of Investments

For 100% of investments we tested their existence by inspecting share purchase agreements or share certificates, as appropriate.

Key Observations

Based on the procedures performed considered management's valuations of these investments to be appropriate and that there is appropriate title supporting the existence of investments.

Investment Entity Status

Note 2.5, 3 and 15

As described in note 3 to the financial statements, the Directors have determined that the Group continues to meet the definition of an Investment Entity and therefore holds certain subsidiaries at fair value through profit and loss as opposed to consolidating them.

The assessment of whether the Group continues to meet the definition of an investment entity under applicable accounting standards is judgemental and must be reconsidered at each reporting date, taking into account changes in the portfolio and the Group's activities.

Due to acquisitions in unquoted investments through the subsidiaries continuing to occur year on year, there is a continuing need to spend additional time and effort re-assessing whether the Group continues to meet the definition of an investment entity.

We reviewed the Group's listing documents, financial statement disclosures and website publications to confirm that the Group's business purpose, objectives and strategy were congruous with those of an Investment entity.

We obtained management's memorandum which details the rationale for why APQ Global Limited continues to meet the definition of an Investment entity and checked that the rationale applied was consistent with the requirements of applicable accounting standards. We also checked that the explanations and rationale were consistent with our understanding of the entity and its activities.

We obtained management's memorandum in respect of each of the underlying investments which detailed the rationale for acquiring each of these investments and the exit strategy for each investment. We considered whether the rationale for acquiring these investments was in accordance with our understanding obtained throughout the audit and was consistent with that of an investment entity.

Where appropriate we agreed the details included in management's memoranda to supporting evidence such as Board meeting minutes, publications for investors and fair value assessments.

We reviewed management's fair value assessment of each of the investments and checked that all of the investments were evaluated on a fair value basis at the year end.

We reviewed the key disclosures in respect of this matter to test that they were complete, accurate, and appropriate in the context of the requirements of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

Key Observations

Based on the procedures performed we consider management's view regarding the Group's investment entity status to be appropriate.

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
	2021	2020
Materiality	$597,000	$680,000
Basis for determining materiality	1% of the Gross investment balance	1% of the Gross investment balance
Rationale for the benchmark applied	As an Investment entity, investments are the key balance in the financial statements and a key balance of interest to the users. 1% was selected based on the nature of the portfolio and the level of judgement inherent in the valuation.	As an Investment entity, investments are the key balance in the financial statements and a key balance of interest to the users. 1% was selected based on the nature of the portfolio and the level of judgement inherent in the valuation.
Performance materiality	$358,000	$442,000
Basis for determining performance materiality	60% of materiality When setting performance materiality we consider a number of factors including the expected misstatements, the history of misstatements and brought forward adjustments from the prior years as well as the areas of the financial statements subject to estimation uncertainty. Our performance materiality threshold decreased in the current year taking account of the previous history of errors and considering the number of areas subject to estimation uncertainty.	65% of materiality When setting performance materiality we consider a number of factors including the expected misstatements, the history of misstatements and brought forward adjustments from the prior years as well as the areas of the financial statements subject to estimation uncertainty.

Component materiality

We set materiality for each component of the Group based on a percentage of between 70% and 95% (2020: 95%) of Group materiality due to the size and our assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the Group. Component materiality was set between $418,000 and $567,000 (2020: $646,000). In the audit of each component, we further applied performance materiality levels of 60% (2020: 65%) of the component materiality to our testing to ensure that the risk of errors exceeding component materiality was appropriately mitigated.

Reporting threshold

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them all individual audit differences in excess of $11,000 (2020: $13,000). 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 Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 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.

Other Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 reporting

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

· proper accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company; or

· the Parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or

· we have failed to obtain all the information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, are necessary for the purposes of our audit.

Responsibilities of Directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' responsibilities, 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 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.

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:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Group and industry in which the Group operates and considered the risk of acts by the Group which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. These included but were not limited to compliance with Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, UK-adopted International accounting standards, the AIM listing rules, the TISE listing rules and IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (see our key audit matters section above).

We considered compliance with this framework through discussions with management and the Directors, and confirmations from the Audit Committee and performed audit procedures on these areas as considered necessary.

We gained an understanding of the relevant laws and regulations impacting the entity and the susceptibility of the financial statements to fraud through our knowledge of the Group from previous years and discussions with management. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the Group's financial statements and the susceptibility of the Group's financial statements to material misstatements including fraud.

We have considered the potential for material misstatement in the financial statements, including that arising from fraud and believed the areas in which fraud might occur were with respect to unquoted investment valuations, management override of controls and revenue recognition. Our procedures to address these risks included:

· agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

· enquiries of management, the Directors, and the Audit Committee, as to whether they were aware of any non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;

· review of Board meeting minutes throughout the period;

· obtaining an understanding of the control environment in monitoring compliance with laws and regulations.

· review of legal invoice and legal correspondence to identify potential non-compliance with laws and regulations or undisclosed contingencies and commitments;

· testing of journal postings made during the year to identify potential management override of controls;

· agreeing revenue to supporting documentation such as; bank statements, management accounts of investee companies, and subsidiary company Board approvals for dividend income as appropriate to gain assurance over the existence of revenue; and

· the procedures outlined in our key audit matters above in respect of unquoted investment valuations.

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.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Parent Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Section 262 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Parent Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Parent Company and the Parent Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 December 2021

1. Corporate information

The financial statements of APQ Global Limited (the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 30 May 2022. The Company is incorporated as a limited company in Guernsey. The Company was incorporated on 10 May 2016 for an unlimited duration in accordance with the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. The Company's registered office is at PO Box 142, The Beehive, Rohais, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 3HT.

The objective of the Company is to steadily grow its earnings to seek to deliver attractive returns and capital growth through a combination of building growing businesses in emerging markets as well as earning revenue from income generating operating activities[16].

The Company and its subsidiaries[17] have no investment restrictions and no maximum exposure limits will apply to any investments made by the Group, unless otherwise determined and set by the Board from time to time. No material change will be made to the Company's or subsidiaries objective or investing policy without the approval of Shareholders by ordinary resolution.

The Group's investment activities are managed by the Board.

The shares are quoted on The International Stock Exchange for informational purpose. The ordinary shares are admitted to trading on AIM.

2. Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance UK adopted International Accounting Standards (UK IAS) and applicable law. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical-cost basis, except for financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

2.2 Going concern

Following the measures taken in the first quarter of the year, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements since the ultimate assets of the Company mainly consist of securities which are readily realisable and, accordingly, the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of this report. The Company will be able to meet all its liabilities as they fall due. See below for the Stress Testing applied in coming to this conclusion.

Stress Testing

2.2 Going concern (continued)

Long Term Viability Statement

There is currently no strict regime of Corporate Governance to which the Company must adhere to, however there are guidelines set out for AIM companies. The Company complies with the UK code on Corporate Governance, issued July 2019 for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 to the extent outlined in the Corporate Governance section on pages 16 and 17. In accordance with provision 31 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Directors have assessed the prospects of the Company over a longer period than the 12 months minimum required by the 'Going Concern' provision. Three years is deemed to be an appropriate time period for management to implement its medium-term strategic objectives set out in the Business Model and Strategy section (page 9) of these financial statements.

Further to the above - Going Concern, the Company extends its above analysis to a three-year cash flow forecast (to December 2024) using newly targeted budgets and concluded that:

Assuming normal (poor) economic conditions[18], the Company would preserve an expense coverage ratio net of its financial obligations of 25 (19), retaining USD 9 (+3) million in cash on its balance sheet as of Jan 1, 2025. Providing considerable headroom to absorb poor conditions. These figures include the settlement of the CULS of $41m in September 2024. The Group currently holds a liquid markets portfolio which is valued in excess of the redemption value of the CULS. The group will liquidate the portfolio over the next two years in preparation for the redemption.

Dividend Suspension

The suspension of the dividend paid to ordinary shareholders will increase the cash available to the Company by approximately $6m per annum based on last year's distributions. The Board reviews the dividend policy quarterly. The dividend remains on hold until further notice.

2.3 Functional and presentational currency

The Group's presentational and functional currency is US Dollars.

2.5 Basis of consolidation

The Directors have concluded that APQ Global Limited has all the elements of control as prescribed by IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" in relation to its subsidiaries and that the Company satisfies the criteria to be regarded as an investment entity. For a detailed analysis of the assessment of the criteria please refer to note 3; Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions. Based on this, the subsidiaries APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited, Delphos Holdings Limited, Evergreen Impact Limited, BARTR Holdings Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited are therefore measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), in accordance with IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

2.5 Basis of consolidation (continued)

Notwithstanding this, IFRS 10 requires subsidiaries that provide services that relate to the investment entity's investment activities to be consolidated. The subsidiaries APQ Partners LLP and APQ Capital Services Limited assist the Board with implementation of its business strategy, provides research on business opportunities in emerging markets and provides support for cash management and risk management purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Group include the results of the Company, APQ Partners LLP and APQ Capital Services Limited, whilst APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited, Delphos Holdings Limited, Evergreen Impact Limited, BARTR Holdings Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited are measured at FVTPL. The results of APQ Partners LLP and APQ Capital Services Limited are consolidated from the date control commences. Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

2.6 Financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities at initial recognition into the following categories, in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Financial assets at FVTPL

The investments in APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited are designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition on the basis that they are part of a group of financial assets that are managed and have their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with risk management and investment strategies of the Company, as set out in the Company's offering document.

In accordance with the exception under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statement for an investment entity, the Company does not consolidate its investments in APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited and has designated the investments as fair value through profit or loss in the financial statements. The investments in APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited are subsequently measured at fair value with movements in fair value recognised as net gain/(loss) on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The investment in BARTR Holdings Limited is designated as fair value through profit or loss with movements in fair value recognised as net gain/(loss) on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities held at FVTPL

APQ Capital Services Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, issued 6% convertible preference shares ("CPS") which were a compound instrument containing a financial liability held at amortised cost and a financial liability held at fair value through profit and loss.

The fair value of the derivative component held at fair value through profit and loss, containing a variable conversion rate, is derived from the difference between the value of the consideration determined for the total instrument and the fair value assigned to the liability held at amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement at fair value was based on the value of the conversion option. The liability was derecognised on 30 June 2020 as the terms of the instrument were changed to remove the variable conversion rate. Please see 2.8 for more details on this transaction.

Financial assets held at amortised cost

The Group recognises trade debtors, accrued income and other debtors as financial assets classified as amortised cost. These assets are held in order to collect the contractual cash flows and the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interests. These are classified, at initial recognition, as receivables at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. The Group has adopted the simplified approach to the credit loss model. Under the simplified credit loss model approach a provision is recognised based on the expectation of default rates over the full lifetime of the financial assets without the need to identify significant increases on credit risk on these assets.

2.6 Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets held at amortised cost (continued)

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised where the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement and either:

(a) the Group has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset; or

(b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from an asset (or has entered into a pass-through arrangement), and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Further detail of the Group's financial assets held at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 16 and Note 25 in these financial statements.

Financial liabilities held at amortised cost

The Group recognises trade creditors, other creditors, accruals liability component of convertible preference shares, and the liability component of convertible loan stock as other financial liabilities. Other financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as payables at fair value net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Further details are disclosed in Note 17, Note 18, Note 19, Note 23 and Note 25 in these financial statements.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.

2.7 Fair value measurement

The Company measures its investments in APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited, Delphos Holdings Limited, Evergreen Impact Limited, APQ Knowledge Limited and BARTR Holdings Limited at fair value at each reporting date.

For APQ Cayman Limited this is considered to be the carrying value of the net assets of APQ Cayman Limited. APQ Cayman Limited measures its underlying investments at fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted price (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs.

For all other financial instruments, not traded in an active market, including APQ Corporate Services Limited, Delphos Holdings Limited, Evergreen Impact Limited, APQ Knowledge Limited and BARTR Holdings Limited, the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques deemed to be appropriate in the circumstances. These have been determined in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines. These guidelines require the valuer to make judgements with regards to the most appropriate valuation method to be used and the results and inputs used to determine these valuations.

2.7 Fair value measurement (continued)

Valuation methods that may be used include:

· The income approach - valuation through discounted cash flow forecast of future cash flows or earnings, using appropriate discount rates.

· The market approach - valuation by comparing the asset being valued to comparable assets for which price information is readily available. This price information can be in the form of transactions that have occurred or market information on companies operating in a similar industry.

· The cost approach - valuation based on the cost of reproducing or replacing the asset being valued.

The use of these guidelines requires management to make judgements in relation to the inputs utilised in preparing these valuations. These include but are not limited to:

· Determination of appropriate comparable assets and benchmarks; and

· Adjustments required to existing market data to make it more comparable to the asset being valued.

The use of these guidelines additionally requires management to make significant estimates in relation to the inputs utilised in preparing these valuations. These include but are not limited to:

· Future cash flow expectations deriving from these assets; and

· Appropriate discount factors to be used in determining the discounted future cash flows.

For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company identifies transfers between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing the categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole), and deems transfers to have occurred at the beginning of each reporting period.

2.8 6% Convertible preference shares

APQ Capital Services Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, issued 6% convertible preference shares ("CPS"). The CPS contain a perpetual 6% dividend rate and a conversion option for ordinary shares of APQ Global Limited. On initial issue the CPS were recognised as a liability comprising a liability held at amortised cost and a derivative conversion option held at fair value through profit and loss.

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component held at amortised cost was estimated by assuming that an equivalent non-convertible obligation of the Company would have a coupon rate of 7.9%. The fair value of the derivative component, containing a variable conversion rate, is derived from the difference between the value of the consideration determined for the acquisition of Parish Group Limited and the fair value assigned to the liability held at amortised cost.

The terms of the CPS were amended on the 30 June 2020, to amend the conversion option to a fixed ratio of CPS to ordinary shares. Subsequent to this amendment to the CPS are regarded as a compound instrument, comprising of a liability component and an equity component. Due to the significant change in the terms of the CPS the initial instrument was derecognised and then recognised at the new fair value. The gain of $661,581 on the derecognition of the liability is recognised within other income in the statement of comprehensive income.

On amendment, the fair value of the liability component was estimated by assuming that an equivalent non-convertible obligation of the Company would have a coupon rate of 11.9%. The fair value of the equity component was determined in based on the present value of the average gain on conversion based on a range of simulated share prices.

The dividends on the convertible preference shares are taken to the statement of comprehensive income as finance costs.

The convertible preference shares were repurchased during the year as detailed in note 19.

2.9 Share warrants

Share warrants issued are measured at fair value at the date of issue using the Black-Scholes pricing model, which incorporates certain input assumptions including the warrant price, risk-free interest rate, expected warrant life and expected share price volatility. The fair value is included as a component of equity and is transferred from the share warrant equity reserve to share capital on exercise. If the warrants expire then the fair value is transferred from the share warrant equity reserve to retained earnings. The share warrants were cancelled during the year as detailed in note 22.)

2.10 Foreign currency translations

Transactions during the year, including purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses, are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on financial instruments classified as at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the 'net (loss) or gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'.

2.11 Share capital

In the event of the liquidation of the Company the Ordinary Shares entitle the holder to a pro rata share of the Company's net assets. Shares are issued net of transaction costs, which are defined as incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided.

2.12 3.5% Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock 2024

3.5% Convertible Unsecured Loan Stock 2024 ("CULS") issued by the Company is regarded as a compound instrument, comprising of a liability component and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component was estimated by assuming that an equivalent non-convertible obligation of the Company would have a coupon rate of 6.5%. The fair value of the equity component, representing the option to convert liability into equity, is derived from the difference between the issue proceeds of the CULS and the fair value assigned to the liability. The liability component is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate.

Direct expenses associated with the CULS issue are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the split of the proceeds of the issue. Expenses allocated to the liability component are amortised over the life of the instrument.

The interest expense on the CULS is calculated according to the effective interest rate method by applying the assumed rate of 6.5% at initial recognition to the liability component of the instrument. The difference between this amount and the actual interest paid is added to the carrying amount of the CULS.

2.13 Share-based payments

On 19 April 2017, and amended on 17 July 2018, the Company formalised a management share plan. The plan allows for certain members of the management to benefit from 20% of any increase in the year end book value per share for a given year (a performance period). Awards can be issued as an allocation of a specified number of shares or as an option (a right to acquired shares under the plan for nil consideration). Since any awards granted are to be settled by the issuance of equity, they are deemed to be equity settled share-based payments accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2.

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the vesting period, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves, based upon the Group's estimate of the shares that will eventually vest, which involves making assumptions about any performance and service conditions over the vesting period. The vesting period is determined by the period of time the relevant participant must remain in the Group's employment before the rights to the shares transfer unconditionally to them. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Group revises its estimates on the number of awards it expects to vest based on service conditions.

Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

2.13 Share-based payments (continued)

Where an equity-settled transaction is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the transaction is recognised immediately. However, if a new transaction is substituted for the cancelled transaction and designated as a replacement transaction on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new transactions are treated as if they were a modification of the original transaction, as described in the previous paragraph.

The Group retains the right to settle the share award in cash. The transaction is accounted for as an equity settled payment and vested over the life of the award. At the point the Group elects to settle the share award in cash, or an expectation that the award will be settled in cash, the value of the portion to be settled in cash is reclassified from the share-based payment reserve to liabilities. Any difference between the value recorded in the share-based payment reserve and the value of the cash to be paid is recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

Per the management share plan the vesting period for any awards issued can be up to 5 years and subject to certain conditions. The first awards were issued in the year with respect to the performance period ended 31 December 2017.

2.14 Accumulated losses

Accumulated losses consists of profit or losses for the financial year as disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income less foreign currency translation differences. Dividends declared by the Board of Directors are paid are accounted for as an increase in accumulated losses.

2.15 Exchange reserve

During the year ended 31 December 2017, the Company changed the functional and presentational currency in which it presents its financial statements from Pounds Sterling to US Dollars. A change in presentational currency is a change in accounting policy which is accounted for retrospectively. The financial information for the period ended 31 December 2016 was previously reported in Pounds Sterling and was restated in US Dollars using differing exchange rates. The retained earnings were converted using an average rate for the period they related to. Equity shares were converted using the historical date which was the date of issue of the shares. The assets and liabilities were converted at the closing exchange date at 31 December 2016. Therefore, an exchange reserve is included in the Statement of Financial Position to reflect the fact this change in presentational currency from the functional currency to 31 December 2016.

2.16 Distributions to shareholders

Dividends are at the discretion of the Company. A dividend to the Company's shareholders is accounted for as a deduction from retained earnings. An interim dividend is recognised as a liability in the period in which it becomes irrevocable, which is following its payment. A final dividend is recognised as a liability in the period when it becomes irrevocable, which is once it has been approved at the annual general meeting of shareholders.

2.17 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash on hand and short-term deposits in banks that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, with original maturities of three months or less.

Short-term investments that are not held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments and restricted margin accounts are not considered as 'cash and cash equivalents'.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.

2.18 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life to estimated residual values, as follows:

Office equipment over 3 years

Furniture and fixtures over 4 years

Leasehold improvements over 2 years

Residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each year end.

2.19 Impairment of receivables from group undertakings

Impairment provisions for receivables from group undertakings are recognised based on a forward-looking expected credit loss model. The methodology used to determine the amount of the provision is based on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial asset. For those where the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition of the financial asset, no impairment is recognised. For those that are determined to be credit impaired, lifetime expected credit losses along with interest income on a net basis are recognised.

2.20 Interest revenue and expenses

Interest revenue and expenses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for all interest-bearing financial instruments using the effective interest method.

2.21 Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised on the date when the Company's right to receive the payment is established. This is ordinarily at the ex-dividend date.

2.22 Telecommunication minutes income

Telecommunications minutes income represents income received with respect to the resale of minutes purchased by the Company. The Company had a few customers each governed by separate contracts. The performance obligations under the contracts with these customers is the supply of these minutes. Minutes are supplied at the point of customer utilisation and therefore income is recognised in the period the customer has utilised the minutes. The transaction price is valued per minute and is allocated to each minute sold. This source of revenue has now ceased.

2.23 Net gain or loss on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Net gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL are changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities held for trading or designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL and exclude interest and dividend income and expenses.

Unrealised gains and losses comprise changes in the fair value of financial instruments for the period and from reversal of the prior period's unrealised gains and losses for financial instruments which were realised in the reporting period. Realised gains and losses on disposals of financial instruments classified as at FVTPL are calculated using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. They represent the difference between an instrument's initial carrying amount and disposal amount, or cash payments or receipts made on derivative contracts (excluding payments or receipts on collateral margin accounts for such instruments).

2.24 Fee expense

Fees are recognised on an accrual basis. Refer to Note 6 for details of fees and expenses paid in the period.

2.25 Taxes

The Company is taxable in Guernsey at the company standard rate of 0% (2020: 0%).

2.26 Leases

All leases are accounted for by recognising a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

· Leases of low value assets; and

· Leases with a duration of 12 months or less.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by reference to the rate inherent in the lease unless (as is typically the case) this is not readily determinable, in which case the group's incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.

Right of use assets are initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

· lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;

· initial direct costs incurred; and

· the amount of any provision recognised where the group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.

Subsequent to initial measurement lease liabilities increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.

Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset.

3. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts recognised in the financial statements and disclosure of contingent liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Assessment as investment entity

Entities that meet the definition of an investment entity within IFRS 10 are required to measure their subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss rather than consolidate them, except to the extent that the subsidiary provides services that relate to the investment entity's investment activities. The criteria which define an investment entity are, as follows:

• An entity that obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investors with investment management services;

• An entity that commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and

• An entity that measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.

Assessment as investment entity (continued)

The Company's listing document details its objective of providing investment management services to investors which includes investing in equities, fixed income securities, private equity and property investments for the purpose of returns in the form of investment income and capital appreciation. This is via its subsidiary APQ Cayman Limited. The Company also holds several private investments either directly or through its other subsidiaries for the purpose of investment income and capital appreciation.

The Company reports to its investors via quarterly investor information, and to its management, via internal management reports, on a fair value basis. All investments are reported at fair value to the extent allowed by UK IAS in the Company's annual reports. The Company has an exit strategy for all of its underlying investments.

The Board has concluded that the Company meets additional characteristics of an investment entity, in that it has more than one investment; the Companies ownership interests are predominantly in the form of equities and similar securities; it has more than one investor and its investors are all not related parties.

The Board has therefore concluded that the Company meets the definition of an investment entity. These conclusions will be reassessed on an annual basis, if any of these criteria or characteristics change. The Board therefore recognises its investment in APQ Cayman Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited, APQ Knowledge Limited, Delphos Holdings Limited, Evergreen Impact Limited and BARTR Holdings Ltd at fair value through profit or loss. The Board has also concluded that since APQ Partners LLP and APQ Capital Services Limited provide services related to the Company's investment activities, these subsidiaries should be consolidated.

Valuation of investments

There are a range of methods for determining the fair value of the unquoted investments held by the Group. Determination of the most appropriate method for valuing these is a key judgement of the Board, and the use of different methods will result in variations in the fair value determined for each investment. The Board determines the most appropriate method based of the life stage of the investment and available comparisons to existing companies operating in the same investments. The Board utilises qualified third parties to assist in deciding the most appropriate valuation technique.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Fair value of investments

The Directors consider that the fair value of the investment in APQ Cayman Limited should be based on the NAV of APQ Cayman Limited, please refer to note 2.6 and note 15 for further discussion regarding the fair value of investments.

The Directors measure the investments in APQ Corporate Services Limited, APQ Knowledge Limited, Delphos Holdings Limited, Evergreen Impact Limited and BARTR Holdings Limited in accordance with the IPEV guidelines. As these investments are unlisted, their fair value is determined through a range of inputs using external comparisons and management generated forecasts. Forecasts are by their nature estimated expectations and this leads to uncertainty with respect to the valuation of these investments

The forecast future cash flows are a key estimate in the determination of these valuations and are subject to uncertainty. These forecasts are determined at the Statement of Financial Position date and do not reflect changes in these forecasts from events after the reporting periods.

Fair value of 6% convertible preference shares

Fair value has been determined through a range of inputs and modelling the results of the change in these inputs. Inputs are determined based on past performance, comparable instruments and management's determination of the suspected future time horizons for the conversion of the instruments. These forecasted values are by their nature estimates and therefore there is uncertainty with relation to the valuation of these instruments. Further details in relation to the valuation of these instruments can be found in note 19.

12. Losses Per Share

The basic and diluted losses per share are calculated by dividing the loss by the average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

	2021	2020
	$	$

Total comprehensive loss for the year	(7,592,693)	(40,435,561)
Weighted average number of shares in issue	78,408,067	78,299,359

Losses per share	(0.09684)	(0.51642)

Diluted losses per share	(0.09684)	(0.51642)

The Group had share awards vested but not yet issued, which are not dilutive in 2021 or 2020, as the impact of dilution would be to decrease the loss per share. The impact of these share awards would have no impact on the total comprehensive loss for the year. They would increase the weighted average number of shares by 116,828 (2020: 233,657).

The Group has 6,000 (2020: 6,000) units of Convertible Loan Stock which are potentially dilutive if converted into ordinary shares. This would increase the weighted average number of shares by 6,000 (2020: 6,000) exercise price on these conversion options currently exceeds the traded share price of APQ Global. These are not currently dilutive (2020: not dilutive).

Potentially dilutive instruments

In prior year APQ Global issued 1,000,000 share warrants with an exercise price of 70.94p and 268,000 convertible preference shares which were convertible into convertible into 11.25 ordinary shares per convertible preference share. The possible impact of this dilution would be to increase the weighted average number of shares by 3,015,000. These share warrants were cancelled during the year with the convertible preference shares repurchases and cancelled. These cancellations removed any potentially dilutive instruments.

13. Dividends

No dividends were declared in the year ended 31 December 2021 with the following dividends being declared in year ended 31 December 2020 as follows:

	Ex-dividend date	Payment date	Dividend (£)	Dividend ($)	Dividend per share (£)	Dividend per share ($)

First dividend	30 January 2020	2 March 2020	1,174,014	1,540,248	0.015	0.020
Total 2020			1,174,014	1,540,248	0.015	0.020

The stated dividend policy of the Company is to target an annualised dividend yield of 6% based on the Placing Issue Price. Due to the impact of Covid-19 the Company has ceased all dividends until further notice.

There is no guarantee that any dividends will be paid in respect of any financial year. The ability to pay dividends is dependent on a number of factors including the level of income returns from the Company's investee entities. There can be no guarantee that the Group will achieve the target rates of return referred to in this document or that it will not sustain any capital losses through its activities.

Valuation techniques

APQ Cayman Limited has a portfolio of tradable assets and liabilities which it values at fair value using the same policies as the Company. The Company is able to redeem its holding of APQ Cayman Limited at its net asset value. Fair value of the investment in APQ Cayman Limited is therefore measured at its Net Asset Value ("NAV"). NAV is determined based on the observable market values of its portfolio of assets and liabilities.

Fair value of the investment in APQ Corporate Services Limited, has been determined by determining the valuation of its underlying investments. The underlying investments have been valued through the income approach, incorporating comparison with external sources and the expected cash flows of the investment. The income approach was determined to be the most appropriate as the underlying investments are revenue generating businesses.

The investment in APQ Knowledge Limited was completed on 1 March 2019. Fair value has been determined by determining the valuation of its underlying investments. The underlying investments have been valued through the income approach, incorporating comparison with external sources and the expected cash flows of the investment. The income approach was determined to be the most appropriate as the underlying investments are revenue generating businesses.

The fair value of BARTR Holdings Limited of nil. This is based on consideration of £1 received on exit from the investment on 3 February 2022.

Listed investments are measured at fair value using the current market bid price for the underlying equity as quoted on the applicable stock exchange the security is traded on.

15. Investments (continued)

Unlisted managed funds

The Company classifies its investments into the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

Level 3: Those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company has classified its investments in BARTR Holdings Limited, APQ Corporate Services Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited as level 3 as the inputs utilised in valuing the investments are deemed to be unobservable, as they are private investments. The most significant unobservable input used in the fair value of the investments in APQ Corporate Services Limited and APQ Knowledge Limited are the future expected cash flows of the investments these companies hold, used in deriving a valuation using discounted cash flows. Valuation is determined for these holding companies by the value of the underlying investments held. The Company has valued its investment in BARTR Holdings Limited as $nil. The unobservable inputs of future cash flows could not be reliably determined due to the pre-revenue nature of the business and therefore the most reliable fair value to be determined was $nil. The movement in the investments in the year are shown above. Sensitivity to these inputs are discussed in Note 25.

The Company has classified its investments in APQ Cayman Limited as level 3. Valuation is determined based on the NAV. The majority of underlying assets and liabilities of APQ Cayman Limited are held at fair value based on observable markets.

The listed investments are designated as Level 1 instruments in the fair value hierarchy as fair value can be determined by the quoted market price for these assets. The movement of investments classified by level is as per the below.

21. Share awards

On 19 April 2017 (and amended 17 July 2018), the Company established a share award scheme for the employees of the Company. The scheme grants the Board the authority to allot share awards or share options with service conditions attached. Share awards or options can only be awarded for performance periods whereby the book value per share (excluding dividend transactions) exceeds the book value per share for all previous performance period ends. The maximum amount of share awards or options is determined by reference to 20% of the increased performance of the current book value per share against all previous performance periods. The Board retains the right to settle these awards in either shares or cash. As the Company does not have a present obligation to settle in cash the awards are all recognised as equity settled share awards.

The first share awards were granted in 2019 with respect to the performance period ended 31 December 2017.

25. Financial risk and management objectives and policies

The Group's objective in managing risk is the creation and protection of shareholder value. Risk is inherent in the Group's activities, but it is managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. The process of risk management is critical to the Group's continuing profitability. Further details of the principal business risks are included on page 10. The Group is exposed to market risk (which includes interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk), liquidity risk, credit risk and investment holding period risk arising from the financial instruments it holds. The following table analyses the Group's financial assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 9, which are exposed to these market risks:

25. Financial risk and management objectives and policies (continued)

Market risk

Market price risk arises from uncertainty about the future prices and valuations of financial instruments held in accordance with the Company's investment objectives. It represents the potential loss that the Company might suffer through market price movements in respect of quoted investments and also changes in the fair value of unquoted investments that it holds.

Market price risk

Equity price risk arises from equity securities held as part of the Group's portfolio of investments. The Group's investments comprise unquoted investments via its subsidiaries (see note 15), listed equities and its investment in BARTR Holdings Limited. APQ Cayman Limited has investments in quoted equities and debt instruments whose value is dependent on movements in markets. The unquoted investments in the Group's other subsidiaries are subject to fluctuations in markets which may impact their profitability and the realisable value on exit from the investments.

The Board seeks to manage this risk whilst also attempting to maximise returns. The Board regularly reviews the portfolio of investments and utilises an investment advisory committee to help manage the risks of the portfolio.

The most significant input used in the fair value of APQ Cayman Limited is the valuations of its underlying portfolio of assets and liabilities. A reasonable change of 10% in the NAV based on these valuations will have an impact of $4,455,529 (2020: $5,358,649) on the profit of the business.

The valuation of the investments of the Group's other subsidiaries make use of multiple independent unobservable inputs and it is impractical to perform sensitivity analysis on one input utilised in the calculation of the valuations. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed for reasonableness however these inputs are highly subjective. Changes in any one of the variables, earnings or revenue multiples or illiquidity discounts could potentially have a significant effect on valuation.

A change of 15% in the value of the investment of APQ Corporate Services Limited will have an impact of $694,883 (2020: $1,375,310) on the profit of the business.

A change of 15% in the value of the investment of APQ Knowledge Limited will have an impact of $215,561 (2020: $199,506) on the profit of the business.

A change of 15% in the value of the investment of Delphos Holdings Limited will have an impact of $885,172 (2020: $nil) on the profit of the business.

A change in the market price of the directly held listed equities of 20% will have an impact of $641,665 (2020: $735,886) on the profit of the business.

The specified fluctuations of 15% and 20% for unquoted and quoted investments is a fluctuation that could reasonably occur given the nature of the entities and the volatility arising from external market factors.

Interest rate risk

The bank accounts of APQ Global Limited are not interest bearing and so there is limited exposure to interest rate risk. In addition, the CULS are at a fixed interest rate so there is no exposure to interest rate risk on these instruments. The Board does not feel it needs to actively manage this risk.

Interest rate benchmark reform

The Financial Conduct Authority have transitioned away from the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to the Sterling OverNight Index Average (SONIA) and from the end of the 2021 year and will no longer persuade, or compel, banks to submit to LIBOR.

The Group does not have any derivative or financial instruments that are valued and recognised using the LIBOR rate and thus is not exposed to any risks from the Interest rate benchmark reform.

25. Financial risk and management objectives and policies (continued)

Currency risk

The Group's functional and reporting currency is denominated in US Dollars. The Group's Ordinary Shares are denominated in Sterling. Through its activities in emerging markets the Group will have underlying exposure to a range of emerging market currencies. Accordingly, the Group's earnings may be affected favourably or unfavourably by fluctuations in currency rates. The Board may engage in the future in currency hedging in seeking to mitigate foreign exchange risk although there can be no guarantees or assurances that the Group will successfully hedge against such risks. The Board therefore does not feel it needs to actively manage this risk at this time.

The Group holds assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at year end. The following table detail the Group's assets and liabilities and the currency exposure to the Group:

A reasonable change of 5% in the Group's foreign currency net liabilities (2020: liability) will have an impact of $1,847,030 (2020: $1,815,272) on the value of the net assets. This level of change is considered to be reasonable based on observations of current conditions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company may not be able to meet a demand for cash or fund an obligation when due. The Board continuously monitor forecast and actual cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities to consider payment of dividends, repayment of the Group's outstanding debt or further investing activities.

The Group may employ borrowings in connection with its business activities. Prospective investors should be aware that in the event that the Group's income falls for whatever reason, the use of borrowings will increase the impact of such a fall on the net revenue of the Group.

The Group will pay interest on any borrowing it incurs. As such, the Group is exposed to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing market rates. Interest rate movements may affect the level of income receivable by the Group and the interest payable on the Group's variable rate borrowings.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the Group by failing to discharge an obligation. The Group generates its returns through its investments (See Note 15) and is thus exposed to the risk of credit-related losses primarily through its investments. The risk of default from the investment in APQ Cayman is considered minimal because the Group is able to redeem its investment in APQ Cayman Limited at any time. The underlying assets within APQ Cayman Limited are readily tradable and thus liquid. The credit risk of its other subsidiary investments are managed by those entities and the credit risk on these receivables are factored into the fair value of these investments held by the Group.

The Group's primary credit risk on its own assets are primarily related to amounts due from group undertakings. These are deemed to be low risk as the Group has significant oversight of these entities and therefore does not recognise any expected credit losses unless the group undertaking no longer has the facility to repay these amounts. The Company will then provide against these amounts in full and once confirmed they are irrecoverable these are written off.

Other significant assets exposed to credit risk are the Group's cash and cash equivalents. The Group banks with Credit Suisse, JPMorgan Chase & Co, HSBC and Barclays. As per Fitch ratings, Credit Suisse has a credit rating of A, JPMorgan Chase & Co has a credit rating of AA-, HSBC has a credit rating of AA- and Barclays has a credit rating of A+.

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the financial assets is the carrying amount as disclosed in the statement of financial position.

25. Financial risk and management objectives and policies (continued)

The Group is also exposed to the following risks through its investment in APQ Cayman Limited ("Cayman"):

• Cayman has investment exposure to emerging markets, which are subject to certain risks and special considerations that are not typically associated with more developed markets and economies.

• Cayman invests in derivative instruments which can be highly volatile and may be difficult to value and/or liquidate.

• Cayman seeks exposure to emerging markets through the use of structured products which carry additional credit risks, are inherently difficult to value, illiquid and subject to counterparty risk on maturity.

• Cayman is subject to the risk of the inability of any counterparty to perform with respect to transactions, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes. Where Cayman utilises derivative instruments, it is likely to take credit risk with regard to such counterparties and bear the risk of settlement default.

• Cayman is subject to custody risk in the event of the insolvency of the custodian or any sub-custodians.

The Group intentionally exposes itself to these risks as part of its operations. These risks are managed on an ongoing basis by performance reviews of the underlying portfolio on a quarterly basis by the Board of the Group.

26. Capital Management

The Group can raise new capital which may be implemented through the issue of a convertible debt instrument or such other form of equity or debt as may be appropriate. It also has a buy-back authority subject to a maximum buy-back of 14.99 percent of the issued Ordinary Shares.

The Group's objectives for managing capital are:

• To invest the capital into investments through its subsidiaries.

• To maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the expenses of the Group and pay dividends.

• To maintain sufficient size to make the operation of the Group cost-effective.

The Board reviews and approves the investment of capital into illiquid investments and regularly reviews its dividend policy to ensure it remains in accordance with its capital aims.

The Group may utilise borrowings in connection with its business activities. Although there is no prescribed limit in the Articles or elsewhere on the amount of borrowings that the Group may incur, the Directors will adopt a prudent borrowing policy and oversee the level and term of any borrowings of the Group and will review the position on a regular basis. The Group's capital comprises:

	2021	2020

Share capital	100,005,450	99,869,252
Equity component of 6% Convertible preference shares	-	100,813
