“The Directors have prepared these financial statements on the going concern basis. In accordance with FRC guidance, financial forecasts have been prepared for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These forecasts take account of the Group's assessment of its possible downside risks which may include reduced sales prices and rates and increased costs... The Directors therefore believe that that the Group is well placed to withstand any reasonably possible market downturns should they arise.”

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
