Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as detailed in note 1. Cash flow forecasts show a positive trend in liquidity, which is based on historic data and future outlook and expectations. The directors are confident that the company has adequate reserves and resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future (at least 12 months from the date of signing) and is well placed to manage its business risk successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

These ruled that certain amendments made to the NTL Pension Plan were invalid because they were not accompanied by the correct actuarial confirmation.”

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
