“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet its liabilities as they fall due. The Company meets its day to day working capital requirements through cash reserves and, where required, through a Group Bank overdraft facility and borrowings from its parent undertaking. The directors have confirmed that adequate financial support will be available from the Company's parent undertakings for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, should it be required, and that sufficient cash reserves are available for use by the Company. Accordingly, the directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
