- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis. In adopting the going concern basis, the Directors have considered the Company's business activities, principal risks and uncertainties as well as the operating result (both actual and forecast). An assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the period to 30 September 2026 was carried out by the Directors. This assessment was based on the latest medium-term cash forecasts, which were derived from the Board approved budget. These base case forecasts indicate that the financing facilities in place within M Group, and available to the Company, are sufficient to support the Company over this period.”

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
