“From the date of approving the financial statements, the Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities for the foreseeable future. In forming this expectation, the Directors have taken into account the facts and circumstances during the year and events since the year end date. 'The Directors have drawn up cash flow forecasts for the Company through to December 2027 and based on these forecasts, including considerations of severe but plausible downside scenarios, they have concluded that the Company does have sufficient funds to enable it to meet its liabilities for a period of a least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and as such consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
