- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company generated a pre tax loss for the period of £100,661 (2023 - £2,029,564 profit) and has net assets of £175,128 (2023 - £82,567). The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The directors believe the going concern basis is appropriate because the Company's ultimate parent company, Oliver James Topco Limited, has undertaken that it will, for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, ensure that the Group makes available such funds as are needed by the Company.”

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
