Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have prepared the financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis, which assumes that the entity has the resources available to meet its future obligations and liabilities. The annual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business. The Directors have assessed that there are no going concern issues. Financial risks are managed through close alignment with the Group's Parent and proactive liquidity planning to ensure sufficient funding.”

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
