Going concern

Affirmed

“As a consequence, after making the necessary enquiries, considering the forecasts and the availability of financial support from HBPO GmbH and Plastic Omnium, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual 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
