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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company had net liabilities at the year end of £8,553,000 (2023 - £8,026,000), net current liabilities of £424,000 (2023 net current assets of £221,000) and made an operating loss for the year ended 31 December 2024 of £543,000 (2023 - £1,984,000). In confirming that they believe the going concern basis of accounting to be appropriate for the preparation of the financial statements, the directors considered the company's ability to pay its debts as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of their approval. The net liabilities is because of an intercompany creditor due to The Progeny Group Limited ('TPG'). The directors of TPG have indicated that they will not seek repayment of this balance if this would result in the company not being able to repay its external creditors in the normal course of business. In addition the directors are aware that Further Global have provided written intent to continue to make available such funds as are needed by Progeny Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (including TPG), during the going concern assessment period. Based on the above, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, as they have concluded that the Group's financial position means that this is realistic for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements.”
