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

Going concern

Affirmed

“In forming their assessment of going concern, the directors have prepared forecasts to 31 December 2026 and have assessed the ability of the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due in the 12-month period from the date of the approval of these financial statements. Following the review of these forecasts together with the review of a suite of appropriate downside sensitivities the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for the 12-month period from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
