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

“Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £6,109,000 as at balance sheet date, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for 17 months from the date of approval of these financial statements which indicates that, taking account of the company's ability to obtain funding from its ultimate parent company, Hills UK Limited, the company will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. Those forecasts are dependent on Hills UK Limited not seeking repayment of the amounts currently due to it, which at 30 April 2025 amounted to a net £10,785,000, and providing additional financial support during that period. Hills UK Limited has confirmed its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company, and that it does not intend to seek repayment of the amounts due at the balance sheet date, for the period covered by the forecasts. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
