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 of the opinion that the company will be able to continue trading as a going concern, on the basis that the company is not required to repay the intercompany loan payable to fellow group company Turbocombustor Technology, Inc. If Turbocombustor Technology, Inc demanded repayment of the loan, the entity would not have sufficient funds to settle the liability. As a result of this, the directors have obtained a letter of support from Turbocombustor Technology, Inc, indicating the parent company's intent to continue to support the company and not demand repayment of the loan for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the signed financial statements. The directors are satisfied that Turbocombustor Technology, Inc has the financial means not to demand repayment of this loan.”
