“Based on the inquiries made the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. Durr AG have provided a letter of support in meeting financial obligations for the coming 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Directors considered the company resources as well as the ability of Durr AG to provide support and concluded to continue adopting 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
