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 Company's cash resources at 31 December 2024, were £2,090, which are forecast to be sufficient to cover overheads for 2025. In addition, Brian Moritz, a director, has undertaken to provide further funds by way of loans, to directly settle the costs of the audit as he has done previously.”
Significant events
- “The Company has been dormant for some years. It is seeking to acquire a company carrying on business in mining and exploration for natural resources by way of a reverse takeover.”
- “The intention remains to undertake an IPO to finance the project in conjunction with a listing on the London Stock Exchange, either AIM or a full listing.”
- “The main geographical focus of the Company has primarily been Southern Africa. A coal mining project in the Mmamabula coalfield... remains a candidate, but its viability depends on the completion of the proposed Mmamabula to Lephalale rail link... funding for fossil fuel projects is currently difficult to obtain.”
- “Other Southern African project currently being discussed include a gold mining project in Democratic Republic of Congo, and a diamond mining project in Zimbabwe. Unfortunately, none of these projects can be considered to be close to fruition.”
- “The Directors also have good contacts in Romania and believe that a viable project might be available in that country.”
- “Any transaction will be subject to the approval of shareholders, to authorise the issue of the required shares, and also to satisfy the requirements of the Takeover Code.”
