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
“The directors have considered the projected operational and financial performance of the Group and the Company for a period extending at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The directors have also considered the written commitment from the ultimate parent company, Verisk Analytics Inc., to support the Group and the Company should it be necessary to allow them to settle their debts and liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. Based on this, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company will have adequate resources available to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months, and accordingly have prepared the financial statements on a basis of going concern.”
