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

- Affirmed
“The Directors have concluded that the combination of these circumstances does not represent a material uncertainty that casts doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, after making enquiries and considering the uncertainties described above, in light of the available bank facilities outlined, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has access to adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For these reasons, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
