Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis and we note that there are no material uncertainties in arriving at this conclusion.”

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
