- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors believe to be appropriate. The Company has a history of profitable performance and the balance sheet and liquidity of the Company remain strong. The potential impact of market volatility is partially mitigated by the mix of the Company's revenue between annuity and transactional incomes and the existing diversification of the Company's business model by business line and client sector. As outlined in the going concern note to the financial statements (note 2.3) the directors have assessed the Company's ability to operate as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company has a strong balance sheet as at 30 June 2025 including Net Assets of £217,942 thousand and Capital of £167,742 thousand (Total Capital and Reserves less Goodwill, Intangible assets and Deferred Tax assets). The Company has Capital in excess of its regulatory capital requirements.”

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
