Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company, with ongoing support from the parent company, has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment the directors have considered the period until the end of April 2026 and therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
