- Affirmed
“The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash generated from operations, its bank facilities and group facilities. The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its facilities. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events

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
