- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis. As at 31 March 2025 the financial statements reflect current liabilities of £400,915 (2024: £815,685). However, as of that date the company owed £414,917 to group undertakings (2024: £976,936) which the Directors have confirmed will not be withdrawn until third party suppliers are satisfied. Therefore, the Directors consider it reasonable to continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
