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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These show that the company has sufficient cash reserves, along with headroom in financial facilities and covenants to support its activities based on both forecasted trading levels and in the event of a future potential economic downturn in all markets. The funding is held for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements, implicit within this is that the company has sufficient resources to pay all debts as they fall due for the next twelve months. As such, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
