- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The director believes that the company is experiencing good levels of sales growth and profitability, and that it is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, he has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus he continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Significant sales growth continues to come from our newest product Jorveza.”
- “The new pricing scheme (VPAG) introduced on 1st January 2024 without all necessary information available has created a great deal of market uncertainty and administrative burden.”
- “Brexit continues to create extra manufacturing, supply chain and administrative workload cost.”
- “Inflation is driving an increase in most costs.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
