“The company is in a net asset position and it is expected that the company will be profitable going forward. Additionally, the company and group have long-term relationships with a number of customers across different geographic areas. Star Intermediate Holdings, Inc., has assured the directors of the provision of financial support if required, in the form of a letter of support.The director has also evaluated the company's ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, deemed to be a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the accounts. As the company receives ongoing support from the ultimate parent company, which has itself concluded that it has sufficient liquidity to continue trading and has taken precautionary and pre-emptive actions to secure cash balances and liquidity, the directors have assessed and concluded that Star Intermediate Holdings, Inc. have sufficient funds to support the company for the foreseeable future, deemed to be a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the accounts. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the company will continue as a going concern.”

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
