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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 2.0% | 0.0% | |
| Current ratio | 49.75x | 12550.62x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- IFRS
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements and have therefore used the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.”
Significant events
- “On 14 November 2023, the Company received a notice from the Senegalese Tax authority that the Company is liable for Senegalese registration duty of $29.0m (including interest and penalties) and Senegalese real estate capital gains tax of $14.5m (including interest and penalties) in relation to the sale of oil and gas assets in 2021. The Company's analysis remains that no Senegalese registration duty or capital gains tax is payable... The Company will continue to vigorously defend its position...”
- “In January 2025, the Company received an additional $50.0m related to the disposal of oil and gas assets in Senegal in 2021. This consideration was dependent on several conditions being met, including the date of first oil and an average oil price above set levels, which were all achieved by the end of 2024. This resulted in a gain on disposal of an oil and gas asset through the Income Statement in 2024.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
