- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After taking into account reasonable sensitivities, which equates to a reduction in the forecast EBITDA before exceptional items of 13.2%, the forecast continues to demonstrate adequate headroom across all covenant tests over the forecast period. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

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
