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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At 31 December 2024. the Company has sufficient funds to repay its maturing obligations and to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period to 30 September 2026. In making their going concern assessment, the Directors have considered the risks and uncertainties described in the Strategic Report on page 2. Thus, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to 31 December 2024, the decommissioning current liability of US $1.3 million recorded at year end, is expected to reduce by US$1 million, to US$234 thousands, mainly due to the deferral into 2026 of the Ettrick Blackbird site remediation activities. Refer to note 11.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
