- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared detailed trading and cash flow projections. For 2025, the directors have forecast continued growth in turnover and profits. Profits and positive cash flows are expected to December 2025 and for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, with no additional debt or utilisation of facilities. Consequently, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. They have therefore concluded that there is no material uncertainty about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and that is remains appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “Performance was still impacted by the MHRA failure to adhere to its own statutory timelines for the review and approval of clinical studies. However, the impact dissipated over the year, leading to a very strong performance in the last 6 months of 2024, through increased revenue and management efficiency savings. The temporarily unfavourable/unpredictable MHRA approval times meant that work destined for Richmond and the UK, in general, was placed abroad during 2023/24.”

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
