- Affirmed
“The Company continued to trade profitably during the year and has further increased the value of its net assets at 31 December 2025. The Directors have prepared forecasted financial information for 2026 and beyond. The Company is forecasted to continue to be profitable going forwards and is expected to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company's Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
