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 believe that the Company remains well placed to manage such risk. In considering the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements, the management team has prepared detailed cashflow forecasts to assess the availability of cash to meet liabilities as they fall due for the next twelve months from the date of signing. These cashflow forecasts, start with the current closing cash at the year-end of £3.78m and showing that in all but the remotest scenario that the Company will continue to generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations. After making suitable enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to remain in operation for the foreseeable future and has therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
