“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Together with the strong financial position and a letter of comfort from its ultimate parent Company, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and are satisfied that the Company has, and will maintain sufficient financial resources to enable it to continue operating in the foreseeable future. The letter of comfort confirms the intention to support the Company's operations and to help the Company meet its obligations as they fall due for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report.”

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
