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
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Assurances have been obtained from their parent company that amounts repayable on demand to fellow group companies will not be called for repayment if this were to jeopardise the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
