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
“Management has prepared cashflow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that taking account of existing cash balances held in the business at 31 December 2024 (£7.2m), the positive cashflow generation considering reasonably possible downsides on revenues and mitigating cost saving actions, the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited has also provided a letter of support to Scottish Citylink Coaches Limited stating that they will assist the Company in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. As a result, management expects to have sufficient cash resources and cash generating operations through 2025 and beyond, and on that basis, continues to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “No matters or circumstances have occurred subsequent to year end that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
