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
“On 11th December 2024, the Directors reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended sale of Equals Group plc and its subsidiaries... This indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this uncertainty, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis remains appropriate.”

Significant events
- “On 11th December 2024, the Directors reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended sale of Equals Group plc and its subsidiaries (including the Company) for all cash consideration of 135 pence per Equals Group plc share. The sale is to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under part 26 of the Companies Act.”
- “The Court Hearing to sanction the Scheme was held on 10 April 2025 and subject to the satisfaction (or where applicable, waiver) of the remaining Conditions, the Scheme is expected to become Effective on 14 April 2025. The last day of dealings in, and for registration of transfers of, Equals Shares is therefore expected to be 11 April 2025, with all dealings in Equals Shares being suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 14 April 2025. It is also expected that the admission to trading of Equals Shares on AIM will be cancelled with effect from 7.00 a.m. on 15 April 2025.”
