“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board's view is that the Company has adequate liquidity to continue in operational existence for the going concern period, being at least 12 months from date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the near future being for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements. Sensitivity analysis, considering all available information about the impact on future trading has been carried out and there is no material uncertainty on its ability to continue as a going concern. 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
