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 are fully aware of their duty to assess the company's going concern status and have attended to this with particular care in consideration of the current economic and industrial outlook. The current economic conditions create uncertainty, particularly over the level of demand for the company's products. The company currently meets day-to-day cash requirements without the need for external financing. The directors have prepared and reviewed the company's forecasts and projections and have taken into account possible changes in trading performance by considering all reasonable scenarios and the current funding position. The directors have concluded that the company has adequate resources to meet its liabilities and the financial statements have been prepared accordingly on a going concern basis.”
