- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Group renewed or received credit approval for extension of loans repayable in 2025, and the directors expect that the existing facilities will provide sufficient liquidity for the Group's proposed activities for the reasonably foreseeable future. Based on reviewing these forecasts and sensitivities the directors have concluded that the company is a going concern for at least 12 months from the point of signing the financial statements and accordingly have prepared the financial statements on this basis.”

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
