“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, defined as at least 12 months from the date of signing the Connect Managed Services (UK) Limited financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2024. At the balance sheet date, the company has net current assets of £12,364,000 (2023: £9,438,000), including £2,452,000 (2023: £3,499,000) of cash and net assets of £16,997,000 (2023: £13,186,000). The company reported a profit before taxation for the financial year of £4,687,000 (2023: £3,441,000). The directors have reviewed the cash flow position of the company and prepared cash flow forecasts for the 12 month period from the date of signing the financial statements which show that the company is expected to have sufficient working capital available to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

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
