Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate. The company's cash flows are dependent on the wider Sartorius Group and funding from its members. At the end of each day, any cash held by the company is transferred to the group and the company is in an overdrawn position. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operation for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
