Affirmed

“The directors have completed a formal assessment of the Company's financial resources, including its budgets and forecasts, as part of their review of the Societe Generale Equipment Finance Limited and its subsidiary, Societe Generale Equipment Finance (December) Limited. This review took place after the sale to Groupe BPCE and after making appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
