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

“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The reduction in total assets to $668,825 as at 31 December 2024 (2023: $1,014,119), is due to lower holdings of US government bond securities and associated repo financing.”
- “During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company paid a dividend of $100,000 (2023: nil).”
- “During 2023, the Company deregistered its branch in Ireland.”
