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

- Affirmed
“The directors are confident that the steps that they have taken to mitigate associated risk will ensure that the group is well positioned to continue to trade throughout the current uncertain economic environment. They have therefore concluded that there is no material uncertainty about the ability of the group to continue as a going concern and that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
