- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The business is not impacted materially by the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period to 30 April 2026, and no material uncertainties related to going concern have been identified. The Directors therefore continue to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The external environment remained volatile throughout 2024, with conflicts in the Middle East and the on-going invasion of the Ukraine by Russia. To date these have had limited impacts on the business.”

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
