Going concern

Affirmed

“After making enquiries, and reviewing the group's debt covenant projections, the Directors consider that the Group and Company has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Based on this analysis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company has adequate resources, facilitated by a letter of support from the parent company OM UK Holdco Limited, to meet its liquidity requirements and continue to adopt the going concern 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
