- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company operates with a strong and consistent level of cash resources with £7.3m cash and cash equivalents at the year-end (2024: £8.3m) and no external borrowings. This gives the company a significant buffer against any downturns in business activity or significant cost rises. Having reviewed the downside scenarios in conjunction with its projected cash flow forecast to 30 September 2026, the directors were satisfied that there were no plausible scenarios that gave a threat to the financial position of the company.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
