Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors of the group have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and believes that the group will have adequate cash resources to continue to settle liabilities as they fall due, and therefore will be able to continue as a going concern as detailed in note 1. Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £3,530,000 as at 28 December 2024, and a profit for the period then ended of £3,889,000 (after exceptional costs), the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the director considers to be appropriate for the following reasons.”

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
