“The directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. This assessment considered the Company's current financial position, forecast performance, available funding, and the potential impacts of ongoing investment in the new Sustainability Distribution Centre. The directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing 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
