“The Directors note that the Company has net current liabilities of £4,798k (31 December 2023: £9,533k).

Vertom B.V. has confirmed that it will provide such financial support as necessary to enable the company to meet its liabilities for the going concern review period. The directors have a reasonable expectation that Vertom B.V. has adequate resources and liquidity to continue in operational existence for this period. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”

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
