“The company has traded profitably and has been cash generative for the past two years. Increased revenue and profitability has continued post year end and current trading is in line with forecast set by management. Furthermore the directors have considered the company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its financial position, financial risk management objective, historical trading performance and cash flow projections for 12 months following the date of signing these financial statements and have concluded that the company meets the criteria for trading as a going concern.”

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
