Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, are set out in the Principal activities and Business review and Principal risks and uncertainties sections of the Strategic Report. The South Staffordshire Plc Group has significant undrawn borrowing facilities and has significant headroom in respect of all of its borrowing covenants, both on a historic and forward looking basis. The Company's financial obligations are expected to be financed through its operating cash flows. As a consequence of the above, the Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business and financial risks successfully. After making reasonable enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate available resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”

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
