“In making their assessment of the Group’s ability to manage its future cash requirements, the Directors have considered the Company and Group budgets and the cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 December 2026. In addition, they have reviewed the Group’s compliance with covenants and considered the impact of adverse changes in precious metal prices on the Group’s financial performance and its exposures to credit risk and liquidity risk. The Directors believe that the Company will be able to operate as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements (the “relevant period”), 3 March 2025.”

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
