“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Based on the performance of the company post year end, alongside the contiued support of the group, the directors do not consider that there has been any significant detrimental impact to the business at this time and consider the business will continue to be profitable and cash generating going forward. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.”

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
