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 directors are confident that, despite the current difficult trading environment driven by the impacts of global volatility and uncertainty, the cost-of-living crisis, rising interest rates and the resulting energy and higher inflationary pressures on costs given the continued profitability of the Group and stronger year on year trading post the year end, teamed with the good working relationship with the principal bank that this is an appropriate assumption.”
