“As there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and meet all obligations, the directors have concluded this does not represent a material uncertainty with regards to going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes the realisation of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.”

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
