Going concern

Affirmed

“Taking into account the position of the ultimate parent, including their agreement to provide continuing financial support to enable the Company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due for a period to 31 December 2026, and their assessment of the impact on the Company summarised in the Future Developments section of the strategic report, the directors are of the view, to the best of their current knowledge, that the company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for a period to 31 December 2026. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

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
