- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed the Company's future working capital and cash requirements and revenue projections for the 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, the sensitivities of which have been reviewed against the current uncertain economic environment. They are of the opinion that the forecasts which take account of possible changes in trading performance in the current uncertain economic environment, show that the Company should be able to operate within its current level of cash and working capital, without the requirement for any external finance. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
