Going concern

Affirmed

“As a result of the company's net current liability position, the 1887 Company Limited has provided it with a letter of financial support, which together with the forecasts of the trading subsidiaries indicate, to the Directors' satisfaction, that the company has resources more than sufficient to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months from the date of this annual report and for the foreseeable future and therefore it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
