Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future developments, performance and position are set out in the Strategic Report and Report of the Directors. The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to manage its business risk successfully. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The directors believe that the company has sufficient facilities in place to meet its current obligations and has sufficient headroom in these agreements with the board having reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue with the company's operations for the foreseeable future, therefore the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

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
