“In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements, the Directors are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence over the period to 31 December 2026 (the 'going concern period'). The Directors have considered the potential risks and uncertainties relating to ongoing geo-political events and its related economic impact on the Company's business, credit, market, and liquidity position. Based on the above, together with the Directors knowledge and experience of the market, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 on a going concern basis.”
Significant events

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
