Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company's going concern basis is dependent on Hierros Añon not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due. Hierros Añon has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis (see note 2).”

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
