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

- Affirmed
“In assessing whether the Company can continue as a going concern, management have assessed the liquidity needs of the Company over the going concern period until 31 December 2026. The Company has net assets of $5.6million (2023: $9.0 million) and profits of $3.9 million (2023: $4.8 million). The Directors have prepared and reviewed forecasts and projections for the period up to 31 December 2026, taking account of reasonably possible changes in activity, show that the Company should be able to continue to operate within the level of its current facilities. The Directors conducted severe but plausible downside scenario testing, reverse stress testing and is not aware of any material uncertainties that would question its ability to continue as a going concern. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has, and will have, adequate resources to continue in operational existence over the going concern assessment period. Accordingly, the directors of the Company continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.”
