Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The Directors have reviewed the financial position of the Company as part of their going concern assessment, considering the impact of potential fluctuations in market conditions, macro-economic pressures, and the Company's ability to raise and service its debts. As part of this assessment, the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts that assume the company is cash generative in its own right and on the basis that the parent company will not recall the intercompany payable for the going concern period. The directors have performed various sensitivity analysis and are satisfied that no reasonable possible changes to key assumptions would lead to negative cash headroom. The Directors have concluded that the Company is expected to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. In reaching this conclusion, the directors have received a letter of support from the parent company, which included a statement that the intercompany payable balance will not be recalled for the going concern period. Furthermore, the parent company has confirmed that the UK market remains a strategic priority for the group, and that products and marketing activities will be tailored to suit the specifics of this territory. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Based on the work We have performed, We have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

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
