Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and the foreseeable future. The directors have assessed the Company's debt and cash positions, including the Company's ability to meet its day to day requirements and forecast cash flow requirements for the period of assessment, which is for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Company is party to an unsecured credit facility of US$35,000,000. The arrangement is between a financial institution (the lender) and WSP Group Limited (the borrower), with certain UK Group companies, including the Company, captured within the arrangement. Accordingly, the directors believe that it is appropriate that these financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis.”

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
