“The financial position of the Company as disclosed on the balance sheet shows net current assets of £7,301,261 (2023: £7,668,579) and net assets of £7,301,261 (2023: £7,668,579). On the basis of this financial position and expected future cash flows, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future which is envisaged to be 12 months from the date of these signed accounts. Therefore, the RIBL Board are comfortable that these statutory accounts can be prepared and signed on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “In 2024, the Company's revenue was driven by changes in risk appetite and reduced business in certain areas including International Distribution Companies ('MRSI UK') revenue and syndicate reinsurances ('S457').”
- “During 2024, the Charity Committee supported a number of initiatives to raise money for worthy causes such as The Miscarriage Association, ADHD Foundation, The Alzheimer's Society, Lymphoma Action, React Disaster Response, The Honeypot Children's Charity and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.”
- “In 2024, whilst there has been an increased trend of phishing attempts on both the Munich Re network and third party vendors, the Board is aware of no breach to date.”

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
