“The directors have evaluated the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, which they have determined to be at least up until 31 December 2026. After having considered these matters, the directors are of the opinion that the Company has adequate resources to maintain its operational existence for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events

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
