- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate. The Directors have completed a going concern assessment for the Group, including the preparation of cashflow forecasts for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecast shows the business is expected to have a positive net cash flow for the forecast period, after taking into account planned capital expenditure and loan repayments. The business is funded by bank loans and an overdraft as shown in note 16. The forecast shows sufficient headroom on the overdraft facility and ongoing compliance with covenants. Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Group will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
