“As detailed below and within Note 1 to the accounts, the directors have made a thorough assessment of the Company's ability to continue operating as a going concern. During 2024 the Company recorded a profit, and at the balance sheet date was in a net liabilities position. Management has a clear expectation that we will have adequate resources to meet our commitments as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. In addition, a letter of support has been received from a parent company which commits to support the Company for at least one year beyond the date these financial statements are signed. As such, we continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
