“The financial statements have been presented on the going concern basis. This assumption relies upon the continuation of core funding and sufficient capital income in the form of grants and donations consistent with the needs of the redevelopment project currently nearing completion. The Trustees have reviewed budgets and cash flow forecasts for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of signing these accounts and have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future It is for this reason that the accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis”

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
