Affirmed

“The company has committed financing facilities in place with its ultimate shareholders and with Shawbrook Bank, in addition to positive cash balances.

After giving due consideration to these projections, including sensitivities and risks, and considering the committed funding facilities available to the company, the directors have adopted the going concern principle in preparing these 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
