Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have carefully considered the group's financial position including compliance with its financing covenants, its cash headroom position, and the forecast economic outlook and expectations regarding future trading. Having considered all the available information, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group and company have adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and 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
