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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In the opinion of the directors the company and parent have sufficient financial resources together with clearly defined performance objectives. The company and parent have the strong support of its shareholders and other providers of funds in working towards meeting its financial objectives. As a consequence, the directors believe that the company is well placed to manage business risks successfully. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt a going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
