Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts to March 2027 ensuring the Company has sufficient and liquid resources to continue to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are signed. Further sensitivity analysis, reflecting the risk and uncertainties outlined in the Strategic Report, along with the potential impact on those forecasts due to reasonably conceivable alterations in the Company's trading prospects have also been considered. Together with the Company being profitable, the Directors are of the view that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.”

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
