Going concern

Affirmed

“The director has prepared detailed forecasts for the 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. In drawing up these forecasts the director has made assumptions based upon her experiences of trade and her view of the current and possible future economic conditions. Given the market in which the company operates, it has not experienced a significant reduction in the trading volumes to date; the company has produced forecasts on both this basis and on a stress tested basis, which considers certain scenarios arising from reduced trading activities. Both forecasts show the company will remain cash positive. On this basis, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Turnover increased £2.0m compared to the previous year, and operating profit increased by £2.3m as the company rationalised its customer base and changed the product mix removing lower profit products. The effect of this was a stronger bottom line performance, but a slight decline in sales volume of -0.6%.”
• “Capital investment totalled £1,072k in the year, following the company's strategy of investing in more efficient and lower cost manufacturing processes.”

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
