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
“The company is part of a larger Group and benefits from the support from the Group funding facilities and cash offsetting arrangements. The Group is profit making, free cash flow positive and has strong net assets. The directors have reviewed the cash flow requirements of the company (and the wider group) for a period of at least 12 months from the date these accounts are signed and have concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the company (and the Group) has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
