Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue to trade for the foreseeable future. The directors consider it appropriate to prepare financial statements on a going concern basis. We have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “The Company made charitable contributions of £95.0m (2025) and £85.0m (2024) to the Denise Coates Foundation.”
• “The reduction in profit was attributable to an increase in administrative expenses and an increase in staff costs, with average employees rising from 197 (2024) to 249 (2025).”

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
