“The company has incurred a profit of £10m (2023: £30m) in the current year and has net assets of £119m (2023: £119m). The company has therefore obtained a letter of support from the ultimate parent confirming support to 30 September 2026. The directors have assessed the ultimate parent's ability to provide support and are satisfied that it can do so throughout the going concern period. Accordingly, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and 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
