Affirmed

“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from the signing of the 31 December 2024 financial statements. They continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as this review indicates the company is able to meet all of its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future, a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the 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
