Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to note 3 in the financial statements which indicates that the group has been impacted by the Ukrainian War which has affected their operational activities. As stated in note 3, these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the group and or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The Group management is confident that, in the 12-month period following the date of signing these financial statements, the group will remain operational thanks to the continued support of its funding banks and stakeholders.”

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
