Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements: The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the strategic report on page 2. The Directors have reviewed the financial position of the Company, including the arrangements with Vodafone Group Plc and other Group undertakings. On the basis of their assessment of the Company's financial position, which includes due consideration of the net current liability position and significant net assets and liquidity, the Company's Directors expect that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the next twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements and hence continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual 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
