- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors are required to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. As at 31 December 2024 the Company has net assets of £ 35,319,000 (2023: £36,050,000) and net current assets of £30,737,000 (2023: £31,380,000). This going concern assessment has been carried out on the cash flows of the wider Airswift Group, which the company is a member of, as cash is managed by a centralised treasury function who ensure all parts of the Group have sufficient cash to meet their immediate needs. We have considered a range of scenarios to stress test our cash flows. As part of the arrangement, the Group has issued a letter of support for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements to the company which includes both making funds available if required and not to seek repayment of amounts due at the balance sheet date if this would be detrimental to the company. As a result of the review the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the business has sufficient resources to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a 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
