- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The director has considered current and future customer sales, stock availability and prepared a cash flow forecast for the 12 month period following the approval of the financial statements, and considers there to be no material going concern risk to the business. Accordingly, the director has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.”

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
