- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors consider the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis even though they show that it has net current liabilities of £6,366,411 (2023 - £2,488,908) and net assets of £118,694 (2023 - £120,550). ... The group has provided the company with confirmation that they will continue to fund the company and will not seek repayment of the loan until such time that the company has sufficient funds to do so. On the above basis the directors consider that the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis is appropriate.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
