“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future given that it remains profitable, generates cash and has a strong asset base. 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
