- Affirmed
“With support from British International Investment plc ("BII"), the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate financial support to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months. The Directors have considered the Company's position and note that current assets are less than the current liabilities mainly due to intercompany payables and therefore relies on BII to cover any ongoing expenses. The nature of the Company's expenses is consistent year on year and are easily forecasted to allow for robust cash and treasury management through advisory fees. In order to mitigate this, BII has issued a letter of support which confirms that BII will cover any ongoing expenses incurred by the Company as they fall due and will not demand repayment of amounts due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval 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
