Management has prepared cashflow forecasts of expected results for the period to March 2027. These demonstrate that the Group has sufficient resources to meet liabilities as they fall due until at least March 2027.”

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
