- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”

Significant events
- “In Q1 2024, the company instructed trustees to initiate winding up of the FIS Systems Retirement Benefit Scheme. Consequently, trustees modified the remaining members' benefits by removing the underpin and separating GMP and DC benefit entitlements held by the members. All members were advised of the intended plans in a communication issued in February 2024. On 22 May 2024, trustees further entered into a bulk annuity buy in contract with "Just Retirement Limited" (or "Just") to cover the GMP liabilities within the scheme as of 22 May 2024. As part of these changes, the trustees also took steps to fully equalise the GMP values for all current members of the scheme.”

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