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
“DNO North Sea plc, has agreed to provide necessary financial support if required to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and has confirmed its ability to do so. The Company's net current liability position is the result of the reclassification of amounts due to the parent entity and a subsidiary of the parent entity as the contractual repayment date is 31 December 2025. These liabilities are internal to the DNO North Sea plc Group, and taking into account the Company's present position, its principal risks and uncertainties and availability of support from DNO North Sea plc, the Board of Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue its operations and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the going concern period. Based on the above, together with the directors' knowledge and experience of the market, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.”
