- Affirmed
“The Company operates within a cash pool with other entities within the ASSA ABLOY AB Group ("the Group") and has access to an overdraft facility within the Group operated cash pool of c.£6.7m, all of which is monitored through the Group treasury function and has no fixed term. At the year end the Company had cash and cash equivalents of £13.7m which includes the Company's net cash pool balance. The Directors have prepared, reviewed and sensitised trading and cash flow forecasts which cover the period through to 31 December 2026, a period of more than 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. These forecasts show the Company continuing to operate profitably and generating operating cashflows, and also indicate that the Company is expected to meet its liabilities as they fall due even under severe, but plausible, downside sensitivities.”

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
