“The directors have considered the forecast period 12 months after the date of the sign off, of these financial statements. Based on the availability of cash at bank and working capital, and having considered cash flow forecasts, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in business for at least 12 months following the date of sign off of these financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation in preparing these financial statements.”

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
