Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The directors considered the uncertainties mentioned above and their potential impact on the Group's activity levels, cost base and short term liquidity. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared to cover a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, which confirm that the Group will be able to operate within its facilities. A letter of support is in place covering the ongoing support of the ultimate parent for the company. Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared 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
