Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In adopting the going concern basis, the Directors have considered the business activities and principal risks and uncertainties as set out within the Strategic report. As such, the Directors have assessed that there is no material uncertainty surrounding the going concern of the Company and continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statement.”

Significant events

• “Revenue has decreased by 3% (2023: increased by 3%). Profit for the year has increased by 4% (2023: increased by 10%) driven by a decrease in administrative expenses driven primarily by reduction in total employee costs paid on behalf of the Company, and an increase in interest receivable driven by an increase in cash held in the Group cash pooling arrangement. Shareholders' equity has increased by 18% (2023: increased by 20%).”

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
