- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has unpredictable revenue due to the nature of corporate finance advisory and the reliance upon deal-driven transactions, however, as at the reporting date the Company had £212k of cash reserves (2024: £248k) which as at that date equated to approximately 6 months of overheads. Whilst the Company generated operating losses of £226k in the financial year (2024: £296k), the directors remain confident that the project pipeline will generate sufficient income in excess of the cash reserves in order to meet the Company's liabilities as they fall for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Furthermore, there is the ability to fund working capital by equity issues, sales of equity investment and/or warrants and deferral of directors' salaries.”

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
