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
“Given that the Company is in a net surplus position the directors consider that the company can operate viably and meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of this report. As for the Group, they are reporting a net deficit position overall. This is largely due to the opening of 4 new sites during the year with a substantial up front cost involved with fitting out the restaurants. We are positive that the sites will start to generate profits once they are fully up and running and that the group will continued to be supported by its shareholders. We therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
