- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has adequate financial resources and the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully, despite the current uncertain economic outlook, in particular the current cost of living impact and the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East for a period of 12 months from approval of these financial statements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
