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

- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, notwithstanding net current assets of £2.15m (2023: £1.74m) as at 30 September 2024. The Directors have obtained a letter of financial support from the Company's shareholders where they confirmed that they will not seek repayment of amounts owed by the Company until it has sufficient resources to do so and they will continue to provide the Company with the necessary financial support for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Based on a review of financial projections and the financial support from the shareholder, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
