- Affirmed
“It is the opinion of the directors that the financial statements should be prepared on the going concern basis. As part of the going concern assessment, the directors of CCHBCNI have prepared cash flow forecasts taking into account severe but plausible changes in trading performance for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing this report and confirmed that the Company has sufficient resources and facilities in place to support the Company's operations, planned growth and settle their liabilities as they fall due over this period. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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
