Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

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

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Company currently has £220M net assets, has access to the Dana Group's bank facilities and has received confirmation that Dana Petroleum Limited will provide support should it be required. The financial support is guaranteed for a period up to 31 December 2026. As a result, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and they have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting when preparing the annual financial statements.”
