- Affirmed
“The Directors have considered the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, the going concern assessment period. The Directors have considered the net assets of the entity and the business risks faced. Detailed budgets, plans and forecasts have been prepared and reviewed setting out the financial position of the Company for the next 12 months and a financial and strategic plan to 2028, approved by the board. In recognition of the uncertainty arising from the economic outlook, plans and forecasts have been re-modelled using scenario analysis to assess a range of possible outcomes. Given this, and the outlook for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements, the directors are confident that the Group and company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Financial Report.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
