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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Menzies LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the 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.”
Significant events
- “RBR is the UK operating entity for Datos. All financial transactions are recorded at the RBR entity level and consolidated into ANG UK HoldCo for financial and tax reporting.”
- “Effective January 1, 2023, a debt for equity exchange agreement was put in place between Aite-Novarica UK Holding Limited and Datos Intermediate Holdings, LLC. As the operating entity, RBR pays the interest on the intercompany loan. This was still in place in 2024.”
- “The Company ended the year in a net asset position of £12,180,922 and with cash reserves of £964,799 which are considered sufficient for the Company to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due.”
