Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the trading group's continued revenue performance post year end, and the strength of its balance sheet and positive cash position and following their review of the forecasts and projections of the company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the trading group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the signing of the 31 December 2024 financial statements. There is therefore a reasonable expectation that the trading group can continue to support the company. On the basis of continued support the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
