“The Directors have assessed the position of the Company and it is expected to be able to meet its own liabilities as they fall due, due to the Company's strong net asset position. The Directors do not intend to liquidate the Company in the next twelve months. Therefore, the Company's Directors have reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

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
