- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the Group's ability to adequately manage its risks, its strong overall financial position and the written confirmation of support from the ultimate parent company, the Directors remain confident that the group and company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group's forecast and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group can operate with the support of working capital facilities provided by the ultimate parent company and the directors therefore consider that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these 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
