- Affirmed
“The Directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the Company from the date of approval of these financial statements until 31 March 2027 (the going concern period). These forecasts have been prepared with due diligence, incorporating the latest available information and realistic assumptions about future performance. Based on these projections, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern period, being a period to 31 March 2027 from the date on which these financial statements have been approved. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.”
Significant events
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date on 28 July 2025, the company entered into a loan facility of up to $97 million with a fellow group company.”

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
