Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and have not identified any material uncertainties to the company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Management have prepared sensitised cashflows for the period to 31st Jan 2027 which confirms there is sufficient funding in place and adequate headroom over bank covenants to allow for unforeseen circumstances.”

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
