Affirmed

“As part of a regular assessment of the Company's performance and position, the directors have reviewed the cash flow forecast for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The directors, having considered these forecasts, the risks and associated mitigating actions, believe the Company is well placed to manage its risks and have assessed that there is a reasonable expectation that adequate financial resources will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
