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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation the Directors have taken into account the key risks of the business as well as the availability of cash resources. The ultimate parent company is ABL Group ASA ("ABL"), a public company listed on the Oslo stock exchange. ABL has provided a letter of support confirming its intention to provide sufficient financial support to the Company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. On this basis the Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
