Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trust has not borrowed any money, has established a prudent level of reserves, is maintaining control over costs and continues to receive income from its trading subsidiary. On this basis the Board confirms that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern method of accounting for the group.”

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
