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

- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts for the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking into account reasonably plausible downsides and account of the Company's performance to date during 2024, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. ... the Directors consider the Company to be financially self-sufficient with no expectation of additional support being required in the forecasts. ... the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue to operate for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore, the going concern basis of accounting continues to be appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “GFT financial Limited navigated a complex and fast-evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape in 2024, continuing to deliver robust technology consulting and delivery services across its core sectors. Persistent inflationary pressures and tightening financial conditions, along with geopolitical instability led to delays in large transformation programs and Tier 1 clients insourcing, leading to GFT Financials' turnover falling by 15.8% in 2024 compared to a 5% growth in prior year”
- “An economic downturn is a significant risk to the business operations and Company's investments. During times of growth, demand for services is driven by customers' focus on innovation and agility.”
- “A contract with the Bank of Gibraltar has been ceased in July 2025, this has no effect on the 2024 financial statements. The company is undergoing discussions to recover the 2025 receivables due.”
