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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have assessed the cash balances, the financial facilities available to the Company, forecasts and budgets for the next 12 months from approval of the financial statements and the trading performance since the balance sheet date. The Directors have assumed facilities subject to regular review or repayable on demand will continue to be available. The Directors have performed sensitivity analysis on forecasts across a number of different scenarios and have concluded the cash balances held and the current financial facilities available are sufficient that there are no material uncertainties surrounding the going concern status of the Company.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
