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 financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which the directors believe appropriate for the following reasons. Having regard to the current financial position of both the Company and Group the current Company order book together with financial forecasts and strategic plans for future periods; the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The parent entity have provided support to make sufficient funds available if needed for at least twelve months from the date of the audit report.”
