“The Company had net current liabilities of £16,120,455 as at 31 December 2024 (2023: £16,121,167). The intermediate parent undertaking, HSBC Bank plc, will provide financial support to the Company such that the Company is able to operate as a going concern and to settle its liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of authorisation of these financial statements. As a result of this, together with the considerations referred to in the Principal risks and uncertainties and the impact of climate risk section in the Strategic Report, the Directors have prepared the financial statements 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
