Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In reaching this conclusion, the directors assessed forecasts covering at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, taking into account forecast trading, cash flows and available sources of liquidity. ... Accordingly, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

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
