- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is profitable and expects to continue to be so. It has significant cash resources, a high and continuing level of recurring revenue and also expects to continue to have high cash conversion for the foreseeable future. The Directors have performed a going concern assessment covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. ... Consequently, given the strength of the financial performance and position of the Company, and the anticipated business outlook, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a 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
