Affirmed

“The Board has performed a rigorous assessment of the business's forecasts and projections at a group level and taken into account a range of possible trading performance outcomes. It has concluded that the Group will be able to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements were approved. Furthermore, the ultimate parent has expressed their willingness to provide the necessary financial support in an appropriate form should the need arise. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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
