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 have not identified any material uncertainties around the going concern assumptions and have reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from signing these financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis for accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
