Why are annual reports so important?

28th of August 2009

During a 1996 survey 60% of Chef Financial Officers, Analysts and Investors found an annual report to be the single most valuable tool for learning about a company. For many firms an annual report is the only piece of printed corporate communication sent out to shareholders. At Financial Report Design we specialise in the design, layout and delivery of these very important documents. We provide attractive graphics to encourage the recipient to open and read the report content. The financial reports are laid out in such a way that the information is easily digested. We also work to tight deadlines, following UK regulations and AIM Rule 26.

Financial Report Design provides a professional and reliable service. Shareholders will feel that they are more involved in the business, have a better understanding of the financial status of the organisation and will feel more valued as a result of receiving a such a professionally designed and laid out document.

Investment is about confidence. Annual and Interim financial reports provided by Financial Report Design will give you and your shareholders the confidence required to succeed in today's world.

AIM Rule 26 Website Compliance

16th of March 2009

AIM Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies requires all AIM-quoted companies to adhere to an up to date website which contains the required information displayed in a certain manner. It's been around for a while, but well worth taking note of.

The following information is required by AIM Rule 26:

  • A description of the business
  • The names of the directors
  • Responsibilities of the directors
  • Country of incorporation and main country of operation
  • Memorandum and articles of association
  • Exchanges or trading platforms other than AIM on which securities are traded
  • Number of AIM securities in issue, including treasury shares, those not in public hands and significant shareholders
  • Restrictions on the transfer of AIM securities
  • Most recent annual and half-yearly reports
  • Notifications made in the last 12 months
  • Most recent admission document
  • Nominated adviser and other advisers

If you want to know how to use your website effectively and other areas of compliance call Artlines Media on 01494 614 600.
