- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, the director has considered the liquidity position and reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the foreseeable future as well as the continuing positive post year-end trade. The Company has adequate financial resources and as a consequence, the director believes the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and meet its liabilities as they fall due. Although it is not forecast to be required, the director has also received confirmation that the ultimate parent company, Mastercard Inc, will support the Company for at least a year following the date of approving these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Effective December 20th, 2024, RF Ultimate Parent, Inc and Subsidiaries were acquired by Mastercard Inc, a key strategic move that aligns with their long-term growth objectives. The acquisition enhances threat intelligence capabilities to their identity, fraud prevention, real-time decisioning and cybersecurity services. integration efforts are underway, with a clear focus on aligning teams, streamlining operations, and delivering value.”
- “The tender buyback and merger payout within the year as disclosed in note 19, has resulted in a significant equity transaction to show the amounts paid out on vested options. This value reflects the excess over the initial exercise price of the options issued, and subsequently paid out to the holders of the vested options. The cancellation of the Scheme in place as a result of the acquisition has resulted in an acceleration of the charge for unvested options at the date of acquisition as a result of the Company cancelling the Scheme. The intercompany liability at 31 December 2024 relating to share option charges has been extinguished due to the cancellation of the Scheme, with an equity transaction noted to reflect the capital contribution as a result.”

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
