Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors expect the Company to continue to maintain its working capital status within the group banking facility. The Directors have, therefore, continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. As stated in the Strategic Report, the Directors believe there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and the accounts have therefore been 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
