- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company's forecasts and projections taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the company is expected to operate within the level of its current available funds. Nevertheless, due to the company being in a net liability position at the balance sheet date, there is an agreement in place with Patagonia Holdco 3 Limited which confirms that they intend to financially support Bathroom Distribution Group UK Limited to meet any funding requirements over the next 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Therefore, the going concern basis of accounting continues to be adopted in preparing the annual financial statements.”
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
