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
“The Directors have plans and forecasts that, together with receipt of a letter of support, which the company's directors deem enforceable and fully committed, from its parent company, Boku, Inc., show the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for at least a year of twelve months from the date of balance sheet approval.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, the Company did not renew its lease at its previous London office. In 2025, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for office premises at a different London location. This event does not impact the financial position reported as at 31 December 2024.”
