Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash reserves and borrowings. The current economic conditions continue to create uncertainty particularly over the level of future demand for the Company's services. The Company has an appropriate response plan in place for the economic challenges and has taken proactive measures to seek to mitigate the associated risks. The Company continues to trade profitably and generate positive cash flows. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate for at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have also received confirmation that Waterman Group plc currently intends to support the Company for at least one year after these financial statements are signed. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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
