“These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis, as the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company has a revolving credit facility with Bangkok Bank which amounts to circa US$7,000,000, equivalent to £5,490,330 at the reporting date. The current amount drawdown on the facility at the reporting date is £3.932,165. The facility is renewed on an annual basis and is due for renewal on 30 November 2025. As at the date of signing these financial statements, the company has yet to receive confirmation that the facility will be renewed however, Bangkok Bank have asked the directors to commence the facility renewal process, which has historically been concluded in the month preceding the renewal date. The facility has been in place for several years and has always been renewed. The company has not been in breach of any of the covenants in relation to this facility and expects the facility to be renewed. The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements, which do not reflect any adjustments that would be necessary if the facility was not renewed.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
