Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared more detailed profit and cash forecasts incorporating the revised agreed bank loan repayment profile and making certain assumptions concerning the renewal of the bank facilities in March 2026, possible changes in trading performance and the timing of likely future orders for the Company's products which demonstrates that the Group continues to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. With the above taken into account, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-09-30 vs 2023-09-30

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
