- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the group, which the company is dependent upon for liquidity purposes given the debt structuring, have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months after the date of signing the financial statements. Thus, they 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. 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
