Going concern

Affirmed

“Consequently, after making appropriate enquiries, and taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

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
