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, having reviewed the Company's performance up to the date these financial statements were approved as well as internally prepared forecasts and projections, taking into account possible changes in trading performance, determine that the Company will be able to operate within the level of its current facilities and have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources available at its disposal to continue in operational existence for a period of not less than 12 months following the date on which the Report and financial statements of the Company are signed. While there will always remain inherent uncertainty, the directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and therefore consider it both appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company's financial statements.”
