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

“Management has performed an assessment to determine whether there are any material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of 18 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. No significant issues have been noted.”

Significant events

• “The re-election of President Trump in November 2024 has already caused and will continue to provoke enormous change in much of the world that we live - with particular importance on economics and business. Given the radical nature of some of his policies, there is inevitably a lot of uncertainty around”
• “Following Ms Hanneke Smit's retirement from BNY's investment management business and from the Company's Board of Directors, we would like to take the opportunity to thank her for her contribution to the business and to the governance of the Company, and to wish her well in her retirement.”
