- Affirmed
“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the Financial Statements. The Directors have prepared forecasts for the Company, including its cash position, for at least 12 months from the date of signing of these Financial Statements. The Directors have also considered the effect upon the Company's business, financial position, solvency and liquidity of more pessimistic, but plausible, trends in its business using stress testing and scenario analysis techniques. The scenarios tested showed that the Company will be able to operate at adequate levels of liquidity and solvency for at least the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual Financial Statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
