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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. On the basis of the ongoing review of the activity, the Company's parent company, London Business School, has provided a letter of support confirming that it will provide ongoing financial support to the Company to enable it to continue its operating activities, subject to a one year notice period. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will therefore have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The outlook is to continue trading on a reduced level. The risks have been minimised by only trading on receipt of sponsorship.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
