“The directors have assessed the ongoing business activities and the potential impact of volatile global economic conditions on the Company's liquidity and financial position for at least the next twelve months from the date of signing the financial statements. The Company's forecasts and projections account for: a reasonably possible decline in revenue due to the loss of a significant client for stress-testing purposes compared to 2024. The ongoing impact of conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza has been considered as well as the impact of US tariffs.”

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
