- 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 have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic and that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “As part of a rationalisation of the corporate structure of the Group's SME lending operations, the Company sold elements of the trade and leasing portfolios at carrying value to a fellow subsidiary company during the preceding year.”

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
