Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the financial projections for the company, including cash flow forecasts and the availability of committed bank facilities for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Following this review, considering the business model and having made all necessary enquiries, based on the information available to date the directors are satisfied that the company is expected to maintain sufficient cash balances to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, they are satisfied that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The current year has seen a strong increase in turnover arising from both increases in projects and number of contractors placed.”
• “The increased turnover and mix have increased gross profit.”
• “Overheads have risen due to inflationary pressures, particularly around wages, but continue to be closely managed.”
• “The main uncertainty remains economic trading conditions and the ongoing impact of global conflicts.”
• “There continues to be a growing demand for leading edge technology expertise but the labour market is competitive.”

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
