- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going-concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
