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
“In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Directors have satisfied themselves that it is reasonable to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. Projections of future financial performance for the Group and Company have been prepared, including stress tests of their capital and liquidity positions. The stress tests have considered a period of at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements and indicate that RCI Bank UK Limited (the 'Company') and the Group have adequate headroom to meet their capital requirements and financial covenants. These scenarios also considered the ongoing investigation by the FCA on Motor Finance Commissions, recent court judgements, and their potential financial impact. The Directors have considered the financial position of the parent and have noted the interim receivable from the parent company and the support provided by the ultimate holding company, RCI Banque SA. The Directors have reviewed the Company's activity and the proprietary nature of its business when considering whether this support would be provided. After making the necessary enquiries and considering the associated mitigating actions in severe but plausible scenarios, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Consequently, the Group and Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
