“The Directors believe that while some uncertainty always inherently remains in achieving the forecasts, in particular in relation to market conditions outside of the Group's control, under both the base scenario and severe but plausible downside scenario, there is sufficient liquidity such that there is no material uncertainty with respect to going concern and have prepared the financial statements on this 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
