- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company operates as part of a group and incurs operational costs on behalf of group companies which are recharged on an arm's length basis. The Company has made losses in the current and prior year however, on a consolidated basis, the group remains profitable, the Directors are satisfied that costs are being recharged effectively. In particular, management has assessed the likely cash requirements over the 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and concluded that they have sufficient working capital or it will be available from other group companies, to enable the company to continue trading. Having taken into account the information available to them to the date of signing the financial statements, management are satisfied that the company remains a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The UK currently faces significant economic uncertainty. This uncertainty is greater than historical levels due to geopolitical tensions (heightened following the Russian military invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East) and turbulence in the global banking sector. During 2024, the UK economy underwent a period of recovery which subsequently led to a decrease in cost inflation from 4.0% to 2.5%, the lowest since May 2021. BoE interest rates declined during the year from 5.25% to 4.75%.”

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
