- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have performed a review of the business and have prepared updated cash flow forecasts for the period to December 2026 which show sufficient headroom against current bank and Group facilities all underwritten by Horiba Limited, the parent company. The group have also received formal support from Horiba Limited that it will continue to provide financial support for the foreseeable future and in any event for at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
