- Affirmed
“The Directors have assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and have not identified any material uncertainties that cast any doubt over the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through trading cashflow. Accordingly, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing 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
