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 which means that the Company can be expected to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. 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 Company's business model and the availability of cash resources. The Company was profit generating in the period and remains in a net asset position at the year end date. The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash holdings, the Company had cash reserves of £13.8m at the year end date. The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company will be able to meet its liabilities with current cash reserves. The Directors further cite, if necessary, the financial support available from fellow group companies, including that amounts owed to group companies will not be called to the detriment of the Company, should it be required.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
