“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting. The time period that the Board has considered in evaluating the appropriateness of the going concern basis of accounting is a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements (the 'period of assessment'). ... The Board has also considered the expected future cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary and has satisfied itself and considers it appropriate that the Company is a going concern, having adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and has not identified any material uncertainties that would cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern over the period of assessment.”

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
