Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors, having assessed the risks and uncertainties facing the company and the responses of the directors of AH to their enquiries, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the AH to continue as a going concern or its ability to continue to provide support if needed. Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has the satisfactory financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors therefore continue to use 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
