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 company has net liabilities of £1,007 (2024: £1,086). The company is reliant on the continuing support of its ultimate parent company, Scotsman Holdings PLC, which has provided the company with a letter of support confirming this is in place for a period of 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements. Accordingly, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
