Going concern

Affirmed

“The Company remains dependent on financial support from its shareholder, in order to remain a going concern. The Company's shareholder has committed to provide financial support to the Company for at least 12 months from the date of the signing of the Company's financial statements, in order for the Company to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and to realise the value of its assets. The directors have considered the Company's financial position, forecast cash flows and the availability of financial support from its shareholder and consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a 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
