- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. The company's ability to settle its liabilities as they arise is dependent upon available cash and the generation of positive cash flows from trading. The directors have forecast the company's profitability, cash generation and available cash for the period through 31 December 2026 and have concluded that the company will be able to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due. The company has also received a letter of support from its ultimate parent undertaking, Cube Intermediate 2 LLC, confirming that funds will be made available to the company to enable it to meet its obligations for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
