- Affirmed
“The Directors believe that the Company operates with satisfactory prospects of future cash flows and has little exposure to credit, liquidity or other financial risk. A cash flow forecast for the next 12 months from the date of these Annual Report and Financial Statements prepared by management has indicated that the Company will have sufficient cash assets to be able to meet its debts as and when they are due.”
Significant events
- “In 2024 the Company subscribed to new interest bearing unsecured convertible loan notes issued by Income Analytics Limited for a total principal amount of £300k.”
- “On 26 March 2024, the Company entered into a Revolving Facility Agreement with MSCI UK Holdings IV Limited. As of 31 December 2024, the principal loan amount advanced and the accrued interest receivable under the Agreement totalled £26.8 million (2023: £nil).”
- “11 June 2025, the Company agreed to transfer certain client relationships and associated services to Income Analytics Limited. As part of the same transaction, all previously outstanding convertible loan notes—which had been fully impaired as at 31 December 2024 due to uncertainties regarding recoverability—were converted into equity shares in Income Analytics Limited at the agreed conversion price. The Company also subscribed for additional shares as part of the arrangement.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
