No material uncertainties that may cast doubt about the ability of the Club to continue as a going concern have been identified by the directors. Consequently, they continue to adopt the going concern basis 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
