- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company is profitable and has net current assets of £31.2m (2023: £27.2m). The Company has considered its ability to continue to trade profitably, the ability of its customers to settle their debt, and the availability of the Group to provide short-term funding to the Company to settle its liabilities as they fall due, which the directors have confirmed with the Group remains available, if required, for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. On this basis, the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the Company's financial statements on a 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
