“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts covering a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

In making its going concern assessment, the directors have considered the company's individual position but also assessed the position of the parent group, headed by Beechcroft Topco Limited.”

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
