Affirmed

“The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due over the going concern review period to 30 May 2026. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

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
