Going concern

Affirmed

“A full assessment has been carried out by management to understand the forward-looking financial position of the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern. Forecasts prepared by management show that the Company is expected to remain cash generative for the foreseeable future. Following this review, the directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue to operate and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, a period considered to be at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing the 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
