Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company is part of the wider Erith Holdings limited group (referred to as the Erith Group) and as at the 30 September 2025, the Erith Group has substantial cash reserves and a significant level of secured orders. The Directors regularly review the working capital requirements of the Erith Group and prepare profit, cash flow and covenant forecasts which include economic uncertainties. The Erith Group is financed through a revolving credit facility which were successfully renegotiated for an additional term of 3 years and is now due for repayment in September 2028. After making enquiries and considering the factors and sensitivities applied, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Erith Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. The Directors of the Erith Group have provided a letter of support that the Erith Group will provide sufficient operational and financial support to the company to enable it, in the normal course of business, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are authorised for issue. Thus, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-09-30 vs 2024-09-30

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
