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

Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue.

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and are satisfied that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on this basis. The continuation of the decrease in revenue during the year, amounting to a 70.3% reduction, reflects a strategic decision to redirect commercial revenues to another WebMD group entity. Despite this change, the Company continues to operate profitably, supported by a transfer pricing agreement that ensures an appropriate level of remuneration for its activities.”
