Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors continue to adopt the Going Concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements. Please see Note 1.05 Going Concern. The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its operating cash flows and banking facilities. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate within its current facilities. After performing the requisite assessments and review, the directors have considered the company's net asset value, liquidity and solvency position and the availability of resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
