- Affirmed
“The principal asset held on the balance sheet is cash, which is held in a deposit account that is not subject to volatility. The company does not trade. The Woodard Schools (Midland Division) Board therefore has a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue operating for the foreseeable future and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
