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

“The Directors have considered the expected results, financing available, the net current asset position and the net asset position going forward. Based on these assessments, the Directors are satisfied that the Company has sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecasts and cash flow stress testing performed indicate that the Company has adequate liquidity and headroom to continue operating as a going concern without reliance on Group support. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
