- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors carried out a review of the going concern status of the Company by considering the anticipated level of future trading activity and the associated cash flow requirements. Accordingly, the directors have updated their budgets and cash flow forecast as well as completing a stress test to assess the liquidity requirements of the company for the period to 28 February 2026. Based on their assessment, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its liabilities as these fall due for a period of twelve months from the date these accounts were signed and that it is therefore appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the Company.”

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
