- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors of the Company, having assessed the foreseeable financial position of the Company based upon the Company's future business, capital and liquidity plans, have a reasonable expectation that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. They therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 28 October 2024, the directors approved the repayment of 15,969,339 ordinary shares of £1 each, equivalent to US$20,000k to its parent entities, CFS LLP (US$19,690k) and CF&Co, LLC (US$310k) subject to regulatory approval. The share capital was repaid in cash on 4 December 2024 following the approval by the FCA.”

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
