“The Directors have received a letter of support from both the intermediate holding company and immediate parent company, Quadgas HoldCo Limited and Quadgas MidCo Limited, stating that it will not ask for the reimbursement or prepayment of loans granted to the company which would materially affect the company's financial capacity and be willing to give appropriate financial support to enable the company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a further 12 months from date the financial statements are signed.”

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
