“The directors have reviewed the circumstances of GERA and consider that adequate resources continue to be available to fund the activities of the company for the foreseeable future. In fact, the situation of the company can be considered very healthy. There are therefore no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.”

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
