“The Directors have considered the applicable of the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements. This included review of forecasts which show that the Group will be able to sustain its operation within the level of its current debt facility arrangements. The current bank facilities are on a rolling contract. The group continues to benefit from the support of Zones Inc who have provided a US $1m guarantee on the debt facility. The Directors have reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue operation for the foreseeable future for the reason they have adopted the going concern basis in the preparation of 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
