“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of US$400.8 million as at 31 December 2024 (2023: US$398.6 million), the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, the Company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its immediate parent company, Rockhopper Exploration plc, to meet its obligations as they fall due for that period.”
Significant events

- “The statutory accounts for the prior year (year ended 31 December 2023) were unaudited.”

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
