- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The company has a healthy net asset position and there are no liquidity issues. The directors have prepared forecasts for the years ended 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2026, giving due consideration to the ongoing impacts of the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East. The directors are of the opinion that these forecasts show the company has adequate cash reserves to continue trade during this period and beyond. As a consequence, the directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

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
