“Given the above, at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors are confident the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
