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

- White Hart Associates (London) Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Group management and the directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least the following 12 months from the signing of these financial statements, and will take all reasonably commercial steps, including seeking further financing or support if required, to mitigate against any further impacts on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, the directors believe that it is still appropriate to apply the going concern basis for the foreseeable future.”
