Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have determined that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis as a result of the Company's positive working capital and continuing profitability. Forecasts prepared by the Directors, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the entity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In preparing these financial statements the Directors have assumed that the transfer pricing arrangements with the wider Alibaba group will continue over the going concern period. The company has also received a confirmation from the intercompany counterparty that they will not withdraw the transfer pricing arrangement, in the next 14 months. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's 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
