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

- Affirmed
“The Directors have carried out a robust viability assessment of the emerging and principal risks and concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over a three-year period from the date of this report. Due to the uncertainty arising from the proposed Managed Realisation, the Directors have disclosed an uncertainty in respect of the outcome of the upcoming General Meeting, but not withstanding the outcome the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.”

Significant events
- “On 13 February 2025, the Board announced that, mindful of the challenges facing the Company in terms of its size, limited secondary market liquidity and the discount to NAV at which the ordinary shares have been trading, it had determined to carry out a strategic review of the Company's future direction.”
- “On 13 March 2025 the Company announced that following engagement with key shareholders, the Board had reached the conclusion that shareholder value would be best served by a managed realisation of the Company's assets and returns of capital over time (the 'Managed Realisation').”
- “On 15 July 2024, additional Bridge Loan financing of $1.0 million for Dacian was announced in conjunction with a proposal to restructure the balance sheet and for the Senior Loan Notes invested by the Original Investor Group in 2020 to be converted to equity.”
- “On 13 November 2024, the Company announced that IQ-EQ Corporate Services (UK) Limited had resigned as Corporate Company Secretary, effective immediately. IQ-EQ Secretaries (UK) Limited was appointed as the new Corporate Company Secretary on the same day.”
