Reporting scope: Consolidated group
Auditor: Forvis Mazars LLP

Going concern: Affirmed
“Cashflow forecasts show we will remain within our banking facilities, primarily as the bulk of our affiliation fees for the year have already been received. Given this, the Directors are confident that the going concern principle is appropriate.”

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
