“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider to be appropriate for the reasons set out below. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the Company generated a profit of £664,403 (2023: loss of £873,870), and had net liabilities of £514,974 as at 31 March 2024 (2023: net liabilities of £1,179,377). Despite the net liability position, the directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate in light of the improved financial performance and the factors outlined below. The directors have prepared forecasts and projections for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. These forecasts, which incorporate assumptions around trading performance and support from the Company's ultimate parent, Far East Consortium International Limited ("FECIL"), demonstrate that the Company is expected to have adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. FECIL has provided a letter of support confirming its intention to provide financial assistance to the Company as required for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have obtained confirmation of FECIL's ability to provide such support. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements 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
