Going concern

Affirmed

“Having assessed the future developments of the business, the current socio-economic climate and the cash flow forecasts that have been prepared for the period to 30 June 2026, being at least 12 months from when the financial statements are approved, the Directors have obtained a letter of support from the Company's parent undertaking, RIT Capital Partner plc. This letter of support is to provide any necessary financial support to the Company in order to discharge its liabilities as they fall due. As at the date of the financial statements, the Directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the period to 30 June 2026.”

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
