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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the directors have reviewed detailed profit and loss forecasts, considering all reasonably foreseeable potential scenarios and uncertainties in relation to revenue and expenditure, including the cash position of the business, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements have been signed. Based of these forecasts, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company meets its liabilities as they fall due.”
Significant events
- “This year also saw the Company celebrate its 40th birthday with employees and consultants joining in a series of events to mark this landmark occasion.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
