Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company is in a net current asset position as at 31 December 2024. In the event that the Company requires further working capital and funds to cover additional investment activities, the Directors of the Company have received confirmation from the Directors of the ultimate parent company that if needs be, the ultimate parent company would financially support the Company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and carry on its business without curtailment of its operations. As a result, the Directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate.”

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
