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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This is based on preparation of a monthly profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
