“The company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and financial position, are set out in the Strategic Report on pages 2 to 3. We have undertaken extensive stress testing of the Company's short-term and long-term plans together with the plans of the Group as a whole. After reviewing the forecasts and projections, the Board has reasonable expectations that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months after the date on which the report and financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the 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
