- Affirmed
“The directors of the company have reviewed the activities of the company and taken into consideration the current trading conditions in the main markets of the company. The company is consolidating its position in new markets and the directors believe that the company is well-placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. Given the new Group financing arrangements, the Directors have concluded that the ultimate parent company is able to provide the necessary support for the Company during the going concern assessment period to 31 March 2027 and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
