“At 30 September 2024 the company had net liabilities £71,000 (2023: £52,000)... The letter of support received from the ultimate parent company confirms these will not be recalled where this would cause the company to cease to be a going concern. ...Accordingly, the going concern basis adopted for the preparation of the financial statements is considered appropriate.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
