- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Group which the Company is a part of operates a central treasury function. The Directors have considered the continued availability of these resources in forming their going concern assessment. The Group has considered its financial resource requirements, including those of the Company, and has assessed that it has sufficient financial resources at its disposal including through access to external funding. As part of its assessment, the Group has performed performance and cashflow forecasting. The Directors have reviewed these and expect the Group to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In particular, the Directors have considered the potential impact of severe but plausible scenarios associated with a decline in performance and economic slowdown and has concluded that sufficient options are available to mitigate any material liquidity risk arising from these scenarios. The Directors have received confirmation from the Company's ultimate parent, Arco Limited, that the Group will support the Company in meeting its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the financial statement approval date. As such the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Company has had a successful year, and its financial results reflect the realisation of new growth opportunities and increasing profitability. The Company will continue to explore opportunities to invest in growth in its services offering. The decrease in cash during the period reflects the Company's participation in group cash pooling arrangements.”
- “The Company again delivered a strong performance and offers great margin potential. The Company will continue to explore opportunities to invest in growth in the services offering including additional training locations.”

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
