Going concern

Affirmed

“In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to assess the group and company's ability to continue to trade as a going concern for the foreseeable future. In undertaking this assessment, the Directors have considered appropriate measures to respond to operational and financial risks to ensure the group remains a going concern for a period of at least 12 months. The Directors have reviewed cash flow forecasts for the business covering a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and together with the projected revenues and cash generation, they are confident that sufficient funding is available to support ongoing trading activities. The bank facilities demand adherence to covenants and a quarterly review of the 12-month forecast of these covenants. The Group adheres to these covenants and is expected to continue to do so within the forecast period. Appropriate stress tests have been performed to ensure covenants can still be met in a downside scenario. The financial statements 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
