Going concern

Affirmed

“Management has considered the business landscape along with other events and conditions and have determined that they do not create a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The board has undertaken a comprehensive review of the company's forecast through to September 2026. As part of this review, sales are expected to be flat compared to prior year due to a prudent view of current market sector conditions, while still showing an operating profit and positive cash reserves. The company is expected to continue to generate positive operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The company had cash balance of £22.4m at the end of 2024 and has a strong balance sheet with no external debt, as a result the directors believe the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The going concern forecasts have passed stress testing including after payment of the proposed dividend.”

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
