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
“In light of the current uncertain economy, the group has reviewed and will continue to review its cost base and take sufficient steps to mitigate against any adverse impact on the group. The directors have prepared forecasts that cover a period of at least 12 months from the date of these accounts and consider the group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and hence remain a going concern.”
