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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors continually review government announcements and guidelines, along with the current management accounts to assess the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Finances remain strong and the company has the support of it's parent company. Having taken that into consideration along with the expected performance over the foreseeable future, the Directors consider that the company has sufficient resources to continue to operational existence for that time. For this reason, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these annual financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
