“Notwithstanding net current assets of £352,000 as at 31 December 2024, a loss for the period then ended of £262,000 and a net cash increase of £97,000, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Company has secured a reasonable pipeline of work which, when combined with cost reduction schemes (should they be needed). should provide a basis for the business to continue successfully for the immediate future. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts through to the period ending May 2026 which indicate that, taking into account reasonably possible downsides, that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to trade. As a consequence, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual reports and accounts.”

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
