“In assessing the going concern basis, the Directors considered the Group's business activities, its financial position and the Group's financial risk management objectives and policies. The Group is able to meet its day-to-day operating requirements through its cash resources and facilities, and operating cashflows. Taking into account the long-term contracts for the rental of the majority of its production accommodation, the Group's forecasts and projections show that it will be able to operate within the level of its current facilities, for a period of at least 12 months following the date of signing these 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
