Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that cover the period to end of December 2026. These demonstrate that the company anticipates continuing to be profitable and overall cash generative. The company is partially funded through intercompany current accounts and loan arrangements. The directors anticipate these funding arrangements to continue throughout the forecast period. They also anticipate support beyond this with the intercompany loan being repayable in December 2028. Based on these forecasts and the anticipated continued support of the wider group, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
