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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons. The Group meets its day to day working capital requirements through operating cash flows and debt financing. The directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the period to 31 March 2027. These forecasts show that the Group and Company will have sufficient cash to continue to operate, whilst servicing its debt interest and settling all liabilities that become due for the next 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The directors are, at the time of approving the financial statements, confident that the Group and Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and will have sufficient liquidity to meet its commitments as and when the liabilities fall due for the next 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements and have therefore prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
