- Affirmed
“The Directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Directors have reviewed the forecasts that cover the period beyond the going concern period to June 2030 and consider that the Group will continue to generate operating profit and positive cashflow. Sensitivity analysis has been performed on revenues and cash flows and even in the event of a significant downturn in trading the Group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and its banking covenants. Additional cash flow measures are available to the Group including the delay or non-payment of dividends and senior staff bonuses.”

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
