“The directors have considered the financial projections and the budget for the company over the foreseeable future. The company might need additional cash in the coming months to run its operations, however given the current business trends and forecasts, the management is confident to find additional financial resources, if need be. Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have sufficient resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and therefore have prepared the 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
