Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered going concern in preparing these financial statements. A cash-flow forecast up to September 2026 demonstrates sufficient liquidity. Relying on group cash pool and a letter of support from LABL Inc., directors confirmed no material risk of inability to provide financial support. Accordingly, the directors 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
