- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. As such, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual consolidated statements. The Group has made a profit of $104.8 million (31st December 2023: $111.0 million) and has positive reserves of $938.6 million (31st December 2023: $840.0 million). The company has made a profit of $54.1 million (31st December 2023: $9.0 million) and has positive reserves of $66.6 million (31st December 2023: $18.8 million). At 31 December 2024 and the date of this report, the Group held significant cash and cash equivalents to which it has free access. In projections that extend to a year from approval of these financial statements, the Group would still have sufficient funds to continue as a going concern. Subsequent to year-end, the Group continues to be profitable, and the directors anticipate that the Group will be profitable in the foreseeable future.”

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
