- Affirmed
“The Directors believe, having reviewed detailed forecasts, that the enterprise is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current economic position. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the enterprise has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the signing of the financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements and do not consider there to be any material uncertainty.”

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
