Going concern

Affirmed

“The directors have reviewed forecasts for the group covering a minimum period of 12 months from the date of signing that include reasonably foreseeable stress tests and downsides, whilst also considering events outside of the 12 months if significant to the going concern assessment. They conclude that the group has adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities to continue to continue in operational existence for a minimum of this period. Consequently, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

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
