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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors believe that the Company will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation the Directors have taken into account the key risks of the busines. In doing so the Directors have considered the Company's business model and availability of cash resources. The Company principally generates income from the sale of motor homes and caravans. Current market demand and the Company's order book remains strong, supporting forward forecasts. Although sales may fluctuate given current market uncertainty, the Company is well positioned with good cash reserves at the year end date to allow it to meet operational needs for the foreseeable future. The directors further site the support of the Company's parent, should it be required, and that amounts owed to the parent would not be called to the detriment of the Company. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statments on a going concern basis.”
