Going concern

Affirmed

“After making enquiries and considering the factors and sensitivities outlined above for a range of scenarios, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, without drawing on the revolving credit facility available. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
