“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. An assessment was carried out by the Directors surrounding going concern. The Directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully, and have a reasonable expectation that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing 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
