- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Furthermore, the directors have obtained confirmation from its ultimate parent company that it will continue to make sufficient financial resources available to the Company to enable it to continue its operating activities for a period of not less than twenty months from the date of approval of the financial statements and to enable the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. On this basis, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the Company's financial statements on a going concern basis. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount or classification of assets and liabilities that would result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.”

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
