“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £357,228 and net liabilities of £356,684 as at 31 December 2024, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors of Henmead Limited have prepared consolidated cash flow forecasts for the period to December 2026 which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Group will have sufficient funds through funding from its existing facilities to meet its liabilities as they fall due. for that period. Henmead Limited has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company, and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts due at the balance sheet date, for the period covered by the forecasts.”

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
