Going concern
Affirmed

“These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis due to the availability of group financial support. The directors have received confirmation from TGS ASA that they are committed to provide the financial support of the Company for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In making this assessment the directors note that the net current liabilities arose primarily as a result of the TGS Group financing arrangements. After making enquiries the directors consider TGS ASA to be in a position to provide all necessary financial support.”

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. 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
