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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company's strong and stable management team, combined with a robust plot pipeline, healthy cash reserves and the absence of external development funding, positions the business well to navigate current market conditions with confidence. The directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate, and no material uncertainties identified.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
