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 prepared a range of projected trading and cashflow forecasts for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. As part of these forecasts the business has assessed a range of likely trading scenarios to ensure sufficient headroom exists for more pessimistic scenarios and has found no indication that external funding will be required. Accordingly, the directors have concluded that the company is a going concern and have therefore prepared these statements on a going concern basis.”
