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 financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the directors believe that the Company has sufficient resources to continue its activities for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of financial statements (the going concern period). In making this assessment, the directors have considered the current balance sheet, expected run-off projections, expected credit losses, profitability, cash flows and capital resources. Accordingly, the directors are confident that the Company has adequate resources to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and, therefore, have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
