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 balance sheet of the Company as at 31 December 2024 reports a net current asset of £0.3m (2023: current liability of £102.1m) driven by the temporary mark to market derivative position of energy contracts. The financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis as the Company has an approved credit facility of £30m from Shell Treasury Company Limited, which will enable the Company to meet its liabilities and commitments over the going concern period to 30 September 2026. The company has prepared cash flow forecasts until 30 September 2026, which shows that with the credit facility outlined above, the company has sufficient headroom to meet its obligations. Therefore, the Company's directors conclude at the time of approving the financial statements that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
