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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Management have reviewed available future projections and forecasts, and along with additional funding received post year have determined that there are sufficient funds to increase trade back to a level seen pre-covid. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
