Affirmed

“Based on these forecasts, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that no material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern have been identified by the directors. Thus, they continue 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
