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 on the assumption that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The director has prepared detailed short- and long-term cash flow forecasts based on their current expectations of trading prospects. The company has also obtained a letter of support from its parent, and the director is satisfied of the ability and intent of such financial support. The director is confident that the company's forecasts are achievable and is committed to taking any actions available to them to ensure that any shortfall in forecast revenues is mitigated by adjustments to the sales strategy and cost savings. Taking all these elements into consideration, the director remains confident that the company has sufficient resources for a period of at least one year from the signing of these financial statements.”
