- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons: The Company participates in and benefits from the Group's centralised treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with its parent and fellow subsidiaries. The Directors have prepared consolidated cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which incorporate the projections of this company which indicate that, taking account of severe but plausible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds, through its own cash and funding from its immediate parent company, Hortons' Estate Limited, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on Hortons' Estate Limited providing additional financial support during that period. Hortons' Estate Limited has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the Company.”

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
