- Affirmed
“We have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 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. The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors consider appropriate. Vina Santa Rita SA has confirmed its intention and ability to provide financial support to the company for at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The parent has significant cash reserves and net assets and continues to fund the subsidiary's promotional activities.”

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
