“The Company has obtained a letter of support from the Company's ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party, McDonald's Corporation Inc., confirming its intention to take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to continue its operations and settle its obligations for the period to 31 December 2026, which is the going concern period considered by the Company. The directors have made enquiries and performed procedures to satisfy themselves that the group will be able to provide the support pledged should it be called upon by the Company during the period. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on the going concern basis.”

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
