- Affirmed
“The Directors acknowledge that the global macro-economic indicators and general business environment remained challenging in 2024, marked by continued inflationary pressures, and rising geoeconomic tensions which will pose challenges to all underlying borrowers to whom the Company has exposure. However, taking all the above factors into consideration, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that there is no material impact on the Company's financial instruments valuation or liquidity, and the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 27 June 2026, which is in excess of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The registered office address of the Company changed from 6th Floor, 125 London Wall, London, EC2Y 5AS, United Kingdom to 4th Floor, 140 Aldersgate Street, London, EC1A 4HY, United Kingdom with effect from 18 November 2024.”

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
