“The Directors have assessed the Company's operations at the reporting date and at date of approval of the financial statements. This assessment encompassed a review of recent trading of the company and detailed cash flow projections which demonstrate that the Company should have adequate resources to continue operating for at least the 12 months from date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate that the Company prepares its financial statements on a going concern basis.”

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
