Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving these financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors have received written support from group undertakings that they will receive continued support from them, such that the company can meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements... In view of this, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

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
