“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the director considers to be appropriate for the following reasons. The director has prepared cash flow forecasts for the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the accounts which indicate that taking account of reasonably possible downsides and its financial resources, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period.”

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
