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 Company as a limited risk distributor with pricing arrangements in place, is trading profitably as expected and also has a positive cash flow and a strong balance sheet throughout the going concern assessment period. The Group cash pool arrangement in the UK is also available if the Company requires immediate access to cash funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The cash position of the UK group as a whole is strong and therefore the Company has access to sufficient operating funds as necessary. After making due enquiries, considering the impact of the macro-economic environment and inflationary pressures, potential downside scenarios, cross guarantees with fellow members of the cash pool and strength of the ultimate parent undertakings, Danaher Corporation, the directors have a reasonable expectations that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operations, and meet liabilities as they fall due for the going concern assessment period of 12 month from approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
