Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have undertaken a thorough assessment of the Company's financial forecasts for the going concern period to 31 March 2026. The results from such stress testing indicate that the Company would be able to withstand the financial impact. The Company's financial strength means that it is well positioned to withstand such a downturn. As a result of the above and following careful consideration, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
