  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The charity recorded a deficit of £58,470 on unrestricted funds for the current year, the consolidated general funds are still negative by £417,965 and net current liabilities stand at £463,096. The financial position of the charity represents a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. Despite this our opinion detailed above is not modified in respect of this matter. However, the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis due to corporate backing and efforts to increase donations and cut costs.

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
