- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having considered the Group's forecasts, the level of borrowing facilities available to the business, the Group's geographical and discipline diversification, limited concentration risk, as well as the ability to manage the cost base and discretionary cashflows, the Board has concluded that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operation, meet its liabilities as they fall due, retain sufficient available cash and not breach the covenants under the RCF for the foreseeable future, being a period of 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements The Board therefore considers it appropriate for the Group and therefore the Company to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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
