- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company financial statements are prepared on the assumption that the group will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. This assumption is based on the management's assessment made at a group level which has been based on cash flow forecasts including downside scenarios indicating no issues with liquidity over the next 12 months within the group. The Company has also considered the principal uncertainties of inflation and the cost of living crisis and concluded that none of these uncertainties give rise to a concern for the groups financial future. Considering all these facts the management has concluded that the Company is a going concern. Management is not aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.”
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
