Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company Directors consider the going concern period as twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements and have reviewed detailed monthly cash flow forecasts for the Group over this period. In addition, the Directors have considered and confirm there are no significant or material events that have been identified beyond the going concern period that may cast significant doubt upon the continuing use of the going concern basis. The forecasts incorporate severe but plausible downside scenarios relating to business performance and covenant thresholds. The Directors have concluded that the Company has sufficient funds to continue trading for this period and the foreseeable future without significant curtailment of operations. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis.”

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
