Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The company has a history of generating profits and a strong balance sheet. The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts covering this period which demonstrate that the company has appropriate resources for the foreseeable future. These forecasts reflect cautious assumptions and the profit and cash generative nature of the business. They also reflect the lack of external debt and indicate that no support from the wider group will be required. The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved. The directors consider if appropriate for the going concern basis to be adopted in preparing these 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
