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

“As at 31 December 2024 the Company's net liabilities at the year-end was £8,716k (2023: net liabilities of £12,714k). The directors have reviewed detailed business plans and cash flow projections to 31 December 2026 and believe that the company has sufficient cash resources to cover both working capital and capital expenditure requirements. A financing entity within the group has committed to providing additional funding if required, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The directors consider this to be sufficient to support the business if required. The directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare accounts on a going concern basis.”
