Going concern

Affirmed

“The Board concluded in its view the going concern assumption is appropriate as the group will generate cash from its operating profit and has adequate resources, to cover working capital movements, tax, capital expenditure. As at the date of signing these accounts the business has been acquired by Steve Madden which led to the Group's long term external financing being settled such that the Group does not have any long-term external debt as at the date of singing these accounts. The Group now is part of a wider Steve Madden group arrangement, under which unconditional parental support is in place.”

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
