- Affirmed
“The Directors believe that, having considered the forecasted income, expenditure and cash flows of the Company, that we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Further, the National has provided the Company with a written agreement that, amongst other things, (a) it will not seek repayment of any amounts owed by the Company to the National unless the Company has funds readily available and is able to do so; (b) any allocation of costs (for example staff costs and management fees) from the National to the Company will only be made to the extent that the Company will not, at any time, have a resulting financial loss in any accounting period; and (c) to the extent permissible by law and regulations, the National will provide such financial support as is required to enable the Company to fulfil all of its obligations as they fall due.”

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
