“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months. Thus, they continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. The Company does not expect any downturn in its operations due to Russia-Ukraine war nor US tariffs.”

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
