- Affirmed
“Given that the Group have sufficient resources available to support the budget for the year to 31 December 2025 and operate within the financial covenants stipulated under the current senior facilities, the Directors have concluded that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. These financial statements do not, therefore, include any adjustments to the carrying amount or classification of assets and liabilities that would result if the financial statements had not been prepared on a going concern basis.”
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
