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

“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for a minimum of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The Directors have prepared a 12-month cash flow forecast from the date of approving these financial statements, which shows that the company will have sufficient funds to settle its liabilities as they fall due. The cash flow forecast assumes that both lease and RHI payments will be received as contractually due. The company is currently experiencing delays in receiving RHI payments from Ofgem. This is due to an amendment, submitted following the recommendation of Ofgem's auditor, which is now awaiting processing by Ofgem. Our advisor considers the amendment to be minor; however, progress is currently delayed due to resource constraints at Ofgem. The Directors anticipate that this will be resolved imminently and that the backdated RHI payments will be received by the end of September 2025. The Directors consider a delay beyond September 2025 to be highly unlikely and therefore do not believe there is any material uncertainty with regards to going concern. The company is funded through a long-term interest-bearing loan with its immediate parent company. The Directors have evaluated the debt service requirements in the going concern period. It is noted that interest is due for payment quarterly; however, the loan agreement allows, if agreed by both parties, for the company to convert any interest amounts due into a further loan if the company does not have sufficient cash to pay. The parent has provided confirmation that it will not request payment if the company does not have sufficient cash. The Directors confirm that they have complied with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Based on the assessment of cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months, they have concluded that they have a reasonable expectation the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
