- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the review of the future business prospects of the Company and budgets for 2025-25 and 2025-26, the directors believe the Company will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and it is likely to continue in operational existence as a going concern until 31 July 2026. Also UCL intends to support the Company, if necessary, by making available additional finance and waives the right to demand repayment of any current financing. This guarantee remains in place until 31 December 2026. Having regard to the above and after making enquiries the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
