- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company had net current assets of £42.4m as at 31 March 2025 and a profit for the year then ended of £2.5m. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the reasons set out in more detail in note 1.4. Due to the group-wide funding arrangements of the MTC Group of which the Company is a member, the Company shares access to external liquidity with other members of this Group. In the downside scenarios considered by the Directors within their going concern assessment, the Company is dependant on the parent entity providing liquidity to support, if required, in meeting its liabilities as they fall due. The parent entity has provided the Directors with written confirmation of its intention to continue to provide such liquidity support, if required, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Directors have no reason to believe that it will not do so if required to. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company has sufficient funds available in the 12 months following date of approval of these financial statements that they have 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
