- Affirmed
“The balance sheet of the Company as at 31 December 2024 reports a net current asset of £0.3m (2023: current liability of £102.1m) driven by the temporary mark to market derivative position of energy contracts. The financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis as the Company has an approved credit facility of £30m from Shell Treasury Company Limited, which will enable the Company to meet its liabilities and commitments over the going concern period to 30 September 2026. The company has prepared cash flow forecasts until 30 September 2026, which shows that with the credit facility outlined above, the company has sufficient headroom to meet its obligations. Therefore, the Company's directors conclude at the time of approving the financial statements that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
