- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation the directors have reviewed detailed cash flow forecasts over the going concern period of review which runs to 31 December 2026, considering reasonably anticipated scenarios in relation to revenue and costs, including a severe but plausible scenario. Based on these cashflow forecasts the company can meet its liabilities as they become due. The company has obtained a letter of support from Caterpillar Inc. that confirms the availability of funding necessary to enable Caterpillar Skinningrove Limited to continue in existence as a going concern to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to carry on its business for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements.”

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
