Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have stress tested the forecasts for the remainder of 2025 and through to 31 December 2026 noting the most significant factor impacting cash inflows for the Company is the level of revenues being generated. These stress tests show that, without any management actions to further mitigate costs, a fall in forecast revenues of more than 50% would be required over 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements for the Company to run out of liquid funds. This fall in revenue represents a significant reduction on forecast revenues for the next 12 months as well as a reduction on actual and forecast revenues for the year ended 31 December 2025. However, the Directors would not tolerate such a fall in revenue without taking further measures to reduce costs in the business.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
