- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company's board considered going concern for a minimum period of 12 months from the date the financial statements are approved. The board will continue to monitor the Company's circumstances and meet regularly to review potential risks as and when they develop, including upcoming national elections and geopolitical tensions for e.g. in relation to China that might directly or indirectly impact the Company. As a result, the Company's board also does not foresee a going concern risk.”
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
