Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors of W. E. Rawson Limited have reviewed the appropriateness of the going concern assumption including a review of cash flow forecasts and available funds including the group banking facility over the assessment period. The Directors are comfortable that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being for at least 12 months from the singing of these accounts. The company and parent have sufficient cash reserves which can meet the company's fixed cost base for the going concern period that has been reviewed, being one year from the singing of these accounts. The company has a positive budget for the next financial year along with a strong pipeline and a number of cost saving initiatives in progress and are confident that it will achieve its goals.”

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
