- Affirmed
“The Company's forecasts and projections, taking reasonable account of possible changes, indicate at the date of approval of the 2024 financial statements that the Company can pay its debts as they fall due for at least the forthcoming 12 months with support from the ultimate parent company. As the company has net current liabilities as 31 December 2024 of £1,424k (2023: £1,413k) is dependent on the ongoing financial support of its ultimate parent company, Schindler Holding AG. Schindler Holding AG has confirmed to the directors of the company that this support will be forthcoming for the foreseeable future, being not less than one year from the date of approval of these financial statements, in order to enable the company to fulfil its financial commitments as and when liabilities fall due. Accordingly, the directors have prepared these 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
