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 directors have assessed the Balance Sheet and likely future cash flows at the date of approving these financial statements. The Group and the Parent company confirm to financially support the Company if required and have confirmed they will not request repayment of their loan within 12 months of the date of signing the financial statements unless the Company has sufficient funds to do so. Post year end the Company transferred some of its cash balance to another group entity to support on operating activities. As a result of the availability of funds and financial support as noted above and based on the Group's cash reserve and current trading performance, the directors are confident that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.”
