Going concern

Affirmed

“These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The directors have reviewed the detailed profit and loss, balance sheet and cashflow forecasts of Airedale Catering Equipment Group Limited and its subsidiaries ('the Group') for the period to 31 December 2026. These projections show that the Group will maintain adequate cash balances throughout this period and will meet the bank's quarterly covenant tests as required, such that the Company will be able to meet its debts as they fall due. The Company has also received a letter of support from the directors of Airedale Catering Equipment Group Limited stating that the Group will continue to support the Company, as necessary, to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due. After making enquiries and taking account of the factors noted above, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
