“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will have sufficient working capital facilities to enable it to continue in business for the going concern assessment period which is until 31 December 2026. In reaching this conclusion the directors have considered the future cash flows of the Company, the potential impact of macroeconomic uncertainties such as high inflation and the cost of living crisis and the confirmed support from its parent undertaking.”

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
