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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors believe that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, considered to be a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements and accordingly the annual financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “During the year, as lender of record, the Company facilitated a securitisation transaction, by momentarily repurchasing a loan portfolio and immediately selling it at the same price for a nil gain or loss.”
- “A securitisation transaction is expected to be facilitated in 2025.”
- “Plata also gained industry recognition, winning one award, and being named a finalist in two other categories. At the 2024 Credit Awards, Plata was a finalist for 'Best Consumer Credit Product', while at the 2024 Consumer Credit Awards, it was a finalist for 'Company of the Year' and 'Best Loan Provider' and won the 'Best Loan Provider' award.”
