Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company's directors have completed a full review of the Company's financial position and forecast for the twelve months following the expected date of approval of these financial statements to 30 September 2026, as well as the Company's access to liquidity and financing should the Company require it to meet its' continuing liabilities as they fall due, and have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Company has adopted 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
