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
“Following this review and consideration of all reasonably possible changes in trading performance, there is still sufficient headroom throughout the going concern period, comprising of cash and availability on invoice discounting facilities. As such, the directors concluded that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the company.”
