“The Directors have considered the financial position of the company and believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. The Directors of the company have received assurances from the ultimate parent undertaking, Howard Investment Company Limited, that it will continue to support the company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. On the basis of those assurances, the Directors consider that there is reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
