“The directors have given particular and careful consideration to satisfy themselves that it is reasonable and appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. ... Having taken all the above considerations into account, the directors are of the opinion that as of the date of these financial statements, the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet its financial obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. For this reason, they have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 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
