“The directors have prepared forecasts which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Those forecasts are dependent on Morgan Advanced Materials plc providing additional financial support during that period. Morgan Advanced Materials plc has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. A letter of support has been issued by Morgan Advanced Materials plc to confirm this position. The Board, after making enquiries, and in the absence of any material uncertainties, have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of signing this Annual Report and Accounts. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Accounts.”

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
