- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Management has produced forecasts that have also been sensitivity tested to reflect plausible downside scenarios which have been reviewed by the directors. These demonstrate that the company is forecast to generate profits and cash in the year ending 31 March 2026 and beyond, and that the company has sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.”

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
