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

- Affirmed
“The Directors have reviewed the Company's business activities and have prepared cashflow forecasts covering the period until the Company has discharged the remaining obligations under the AFL and DFA. Having received the Balancing Payment the Directors consider that the Company has adequate resources and funding to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date that the financial statements are approved. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “practical completion of the development being certified as of 9 December 2024”
- “the forward funder has agreed the final account ('the Balancing Payment') with the Company and settled the amount due on 11 March 2025.”
