Affirmed

“The company has generated operating profits in the current and previous years. It is in a net assets position as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the company for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the 2024 financial statements ("the going concern period"). These forecasts reflect an assessment of current and future market conditions and their impact on the company's future cash flow performance. The forecasts have been sensitised for a reduction in revenue throughout the going concern period. The forecasts have also been reverse stress tested by significantly reducing revenue to the end of the review period. In both the sensitised and reverse stress tested scenarios the forecasts indicate the company would still have sufficient cash and existing bank loan facilities to continue. As the bank loan facilities available to the company are part of a wider Corpay Inc. group facility, the ultimate parent undertaking, Corpay Inc. has confirmed in writing that it has the ability to and will support the Company as needed by continuing to provide access to Corpay Inc. group facilities so that the company can continue trading and enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern period. In assessing whether the going concern basis is appropriate the directors have taken account of all available information about the future up to and including 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. They continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and 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
