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 concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, having undertaken an assessment of the financial forecasts for the 12 month period from the date of approval of these financial statements. They do not consider there to be a material uncertainty relating to the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
