Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through existing cash balances held, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. The directors have assessed a severe but plausible scenario which considers a general worsening of market conditions, and the forecasts indicate that even in this scenario the company will continue to generate positive cash flows, on its own account for the foreseeable future.”

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
