Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed the Company's forecasts and projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, which show that the Company has sufficient financial resources. On the basis of this review, and after making due enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company is in net liability position of £2,564,000 as at 31st December 2024. London Stock Exchange Group plc has indicated its intention to continue to provide financial support for the ongoing operations of the Company for atleast 12 months following the date of this annual report and that it does not intend to call amounts outstanding under the loan agreement within that period, so long as the Company remains a part of the Group and the Company has no plans to leave the Group in foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Company performed a review of events subsequent to the balance sheet date through to the date the financial statements were issued and determined that there were no such events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”

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
