Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements for the Company and Group on a going concern basis. We continue to appraise a range of scenarios to demonstrate the financial resilience of the Company and Group, applying downside sensitivities to the base case cash flow projections. Starting with existing available cash balances, allowing for sensitivities and potential mitigating actions, the Board remains satisfied that the Company and Group are able to continue to operate well within their available resources for a period of at least twelve months from the approval of these financial statements. We have long-term experience and understanding of the market in which we operate and a strong track record. Our forecasts for the coming year are based on income from projects on-site under construction or in the final stages of development and expected to achieve financial close within the review period and from the delivery of managed services agreements (MSA). In reviewing these forecasts and the assumptions made in preparing them, the market outlook, the Group’s strategy and the principal risks and uncertainties; the Board considers it appropriate that the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
