Going concern

Affirmed

“After making enquires the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from approving the financial statements, and the foreseeable future. Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and 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
