“The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company incurred a loss of £36.9m for the year and is in a net current liability position of £56.2m at year end. The directors are conscious of the Company's continued reliance on the Group...for its trading activities and funding facilities. The parent undertaking...has provided a letter of support to the Company, indicating its intention to provide the Company with such financial support as is required to allow the company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months...Accordingly, Company directors believe that it is reasonable to adopt the going concern basis.”

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
