- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future despite the uncertain economic outlook. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The company has adequate financial resources and the Directors believe that the company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the uncertain economic outlook. The company participates in the ADM group's centralised treasury facility which is covered by a signed Credit Facility Agreement which is not expected to change or cease in the foreseeable future. The directors have no doubts over the company's ability to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future (being not less than 12 months from the date of the signing of the accounts). On this basis, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

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
