“The directors have assessed the company's ability to continue as a going concern and have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In doing this, they have considered the results for the period, expectations of future trading and the availability of continued funding. On the basis of this information the directors are satisfied that the company will continue as a going concern and so the financial statements have been prepared on this basis.”
Significant events

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
