- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, the directors have prepared detailed trading and cash flow forecasts to August 2026 and have obtained a signed letter of support from the ultimate controlling company. On this basis, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence over this period and have therefore adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
