- Affirmed
“The Company is expected to continue to generate positive cash flows on its own account for the foreseeable future. On this basis, and on their assessment of the Company's financial position, the Company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Under a Business Transfer Agreement dated 29 September 2025, the company acquired a number of contracts and employees from the finance, risk and reporting ("FRR") businesses within the wider Wolters Kluwer Group as part of the divestment of the Group's FRR operations. The transaction occurred at fair value and will be reflected in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.”

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
