Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the signing of these Financial Statements. Having considered these forecasts, which have been sensitised to consider potential downside scenarios, the strong cash reserves and expected continued cash generative nature of the business, the directors believe that the company will be able to meet its obligations in the normal course of business, and as such have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “There have been no significant events affecting the company since the year end up to the date of signing 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
