“The directors have assessed the appropriateness of the going concern concept in relation to the above matters and in general to the company's financial statements and consider that the accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis. This conclusion has been reached based upon the company having access to sufficient funds to be able to meet obligations as they fall due for at least twelve months from approving these financial statements.”

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
