Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have used all available information including cashflow forecasts and the Company's post balance sheet results to project that the Company has sufficient cash reserves for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. In arriving at this conclusion, the Directors have considered sensitivity analysis on their cashflow forecasts, including severe but plausible downside scenarios and are comfortable that even taking these scenarios into account, the Company continues to have sufficient resources to meet cash outflows as they fall due for the duration of the period reviewed. The Directors have, within their assessment, considered the availability of the Cash Pool arrangement with Alten Group and are comfortable that this provides the Company with sufficient liquidity when combined with the cashflow forecasts of the Company itself. Based on the assessment performed, the Directors have concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of this report. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
