- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicate that taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds, through its bank balances, and funding from either its ultimate parent company, Filtration Group Corp, or other subsidiary group companies, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
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
