In my recent article “BREAKING: Helios Underwriting – why its AIM shares should be suspended NOW after howling schoolboy accounting blunder” I explained why Helios (HUW), which underwrites insurance at Lloyd’s of London, had a major issue. The issue was that it had prepared its accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2023 under UK GAAP as opposed to IFRS as required by the AIM listing rule paragraph 19. Helios explained the reasons for this as follows:

The curse of AIM’s worst FD, Nilesh Jagatia strikes again. Limitless Earth (LME) has published its interim results for the six-months ended 31 July 2023 which showed a loss of £110,337. Net assets increased marginally as Limitless raised a net £151,900 via a placing, to £1,133,198 which more than offset loss for the period. The punters who paid 5p in the July 2023 placing can’t be happy with the current bid price of 2p. But anyone investing in a Nilesh company is obviously a financial masochist.

At what point will the FCA show some shame for admitting this worthless POS with a non IFRS compliant prospectus to the Standard List with a £60 million joke valuation? The shares are now 292p valuing a loss making company with (falling) sales of £1million last year and no balance sheet at £173 million. And now there is another red flag at RegTech Open (RTOP)

In his article yesterday about Tern (TERN) Nigel highlighted Wyld’s weasel words that “the company expects to have sufficient funds to meet its obligations throughout 2023”. If Wyld’s accounts were prepared under IFRS accounting standards or if Wyld were listed on a “Recognised” Swedish stock exchange which would require the use of IFRS, it would not be able to get away with such weasel words but Wyld uses “Swedish Accounting Standards Board’s general guidelines BFNAR 2012:1 Annual Accounts and Consolidated Financial Statements”.

I flagged up earlier how these numbers from musicMagpie (MMAG) breach IFRS rules but that is really the least of the company’s problems. When the company floated in April 2021 it was profitable and had net cash. Now it is drowning in debt and loss making. Thank heavens that founder shareholders including the CEO’s wife were able to dump £95 million of their shares at the 193p IPO onto dumb fund managers. The shares are today 15.5p.

I shall turn to what are quite dreadful results shortly. However it is worth flagging up a schoolboy error, a breach of IFRS Rules as musicMagpie (MMAG) serves up its piss poor results for the six months to May 31.

Alpha Growth (ALGW) published its accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 on Tuesday. The FRC should be all over this one as the breaches of IFRS rules are material and on an industrial scale.

Alpha Growth (ALGW) published its piss poor results for the six months ended 30 June 2022 today which showed a loss before tax of £454,635. The shares were off 7% at the time of writing this article which values the group at £11 million a multiple of almost 4 times net assets. This looks high compared to say Legal & General (LGEN) which runs asset management and insurance operations with longevity exposure which trades at a multiple of just over 1 times net assets, has massive scale and pays dividends. Alpha is less likely to join the dividend list than, well, Cheryl Cole and you know what.

The fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) says that its calendar 2020 results will be out next week. Let’s hope auditor Crowe UK has boned up on IFRS or it could be in the merde with the FRC. And Supply has given more details of its proposed acquisition of TradeFlow Capital as it has now moved from an MOU to signing a share purchase agreement. Sadly, the latter is all smoke and mirrors.

My good friends at the FRC have launched investigations into a number of companies as a result of my work, oft agreeing with my assessment of accounting malpractice and on a good number of occasions forcing them to restate results. The most recent thank you note from the FRC arrived just last week. I have today written to the FRC asking it to force Supply@ME Capital (SYME) to restate two sets of interims which are fraudulent and breach IFRS rules and to ensure that forthcoming, but delayed, prelims do not repeat the same crime. The letter follows.

This is so simple that even the woke dullards at the FCA should be able to understand it. If you delve into the geeky world of IFRS you will see why Supply@ME Capital (SYME) cannot have booked any sales at all in calendar 2020. That makes its September 28 2020 RNS claimed booked revenues of £2.2 million and its interim results published on January 29 2021 claiming H1 sales of £386,000 also a lie. Directors have dumped millions of pounds worth of shares at prices inflated by those lies which makes this a fraud. So here, for chatroom and regulatory morons, is a detailed explanation of IFRS and what is going to happen next.

Hat tip to reader TP for spotting this. New accounting standards were, I thought, meant to ensure that the picture painted in a set of accounts reflectyed the reality of what was going on at the coalface. But sometimes they have the opposite effect. Take this gem from yesterday’s Preliminary results from Heavitree Brewery (HVT):

I have already explained in great detail how the accounts of St James House (SJH) run b y Lib Dem grandee Lord Tim Razzall, breach IFRS all over the shop and need to be restated. The company’s advisors say they are considering this. While they consider here is another howling and material error for consideration

Lib Dem grandee Lord Timmy Razzall may have changed the name of Boxhill to St James House (SJH) but this company which has been mired in so much corruption and fraud remains an uninvestable uber dog even by the standards of the AIM casino. Results earlier this week were covered in bearcast yesterday but perhaps merit further scrutiny. They are shocking, breach IFRS on numerous counts and quite simply aim to decieve. Nomad Allenby should be walking.
