“A cashflow forecast has been prepared by Management which assumes a continued improvement in trading as demand from business and international travellers is expected to remain strong. Having considered the latest projections and financial position, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors consider that the Company will be able to continue to trade as a going and meet its liabilities as they fall due.”

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
