- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The group faced challenges during the year, though continue to gain support from their investors. The groups external loan balances were refinanced by the majorty shareholder, Maven Capital, resulting in there being no external debt within the group. Since the year end, implementation of the Group's strategic review has begun to drive improved financial and operational results. The directors believe that the group is well placed to manage its business risks and has prepared a cashflow forecast covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval. This forecast has been prepared and consolidated with the forecast of Lima Networks Ltd and Data Centre UK Ltd (together, 'the Group'). The Group is satisfied that there is sufficient support from its shareholders and that it has taken appropriate steps to enable it to pay all liabilities as and when they are called for having considered expected forecast performance against loan covenants. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the directors' 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
