- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed the company's future working capital, cash requirements and revenue projections, the sensitivities of which have been reviewed against the current economic climate. They are of the opinion that the 2025 forecast, which takes into account possible changes in trading performance in the current economic environment, show that the company should be able to operate within its current level of cash and working capital, without the requirement for any external finance for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
