“The Directors have prepared the Company's going concern assessment for the period to 30 September 2026 ("the Period"). The going concern assessment comprises a base case cash flow forecast which is based on the Board-approved budget, downside sensitivities which reflect the Directors' view of a severe but plausible downside, and the reverse stress test on the Company's liquidity and financial covenants.”
Significant events

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
