“Based on the above and from the ongoing measures being implemented by the board to develop new products and services within the enablement sector, the directors believe the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and will be able to finance its obligations as and when they fall due. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
