- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have performed a review of the Group's financial projections and cash flows, considering macro-economic factors such as inflation and interest rates together with the wider going concern status of the Group. The Group has traded strongly since the year-end and maintained a high growth rate. Operational performance and customer service levels have also remained very strong throughout this period. The directors have considered all possible outcomes of this review in the going concern assessment, including a range of downside scenarios for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and conclude that the business would remain a going concern with sufficient funds in all possible scenarios.”

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
