- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is expected to continue to generate profits and positive cash flows for the foreseeable future. The directors have assessed their cash flow forecasts, including sensitised forecasts, indicating that the Company has sufficient cash to meets it liabilities as they fall due. Based on the continuing operations and profitability, and available support available from VEHL if required, the directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists about the ability of the Company to ensure that it can meet its liabilities to third parties as they fall due and continue as a going concern for the period to 31 December 2026.”

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
