Going concern

Affirmed

“The director recognises that there is uncertainty as to the amount and timing of cash flows to the company from the intermediate parent and other Nikon Metrology companies. However, based upon ultimate parent company support, the group business plan and their assessment of the ability of the group to continue within the current funding arrangements the director has concluded that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and so has adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these 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
