- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have considered forecasts of trading and cashflows for the company, which are subject to a group cash pooling process which are available on call to the company, and have determined that the company has, or can expect to have, sufficient working capital for its needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This was supported by letter of support from the parent company. In view of this the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis.”

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
