- Affirmed
“On 11th December 2024, the Directors reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended sale of Equals Group plc and its subsidiaries... This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis remains appropriate.”

- Hamer & Hamer Limited · 100% held · provision of international payments
