- Affirmed
“After reviewing the Company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company have adequate resources and support to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial information. The parent entity, CPC Foods Limited and subsidiaries have confirmed their ongoing financial and operational support for C & K Meats Limited for a minimum period of 12 months from the approval of the financial statements. The Company and the Group have sufficient financial headroom within the bank overdraft facilities to continue to meet their liabilities and continue their operations. The directors therefore believe the Company has the ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.”

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
