“The Directors have concluded that the business has a Going Concern status. The Company has direct access to its own cash resources and financing and maintains significant headroom against its current borrowing facility. Future covenant compliance is forecast and headroom is maintained. This, together with the trading performance to date and forecast trading expectations, will allow the company to have sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for the next 12 months.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
