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
“After reviewing the company's forecast, annual budget and cashflows, the directors are satisfied that the company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and confirm that the company is a going concern. The directors have carried out a detailed review of revised cash flow forecasts covering 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. The latest projections show the company generating positive cash flows through the 12-month period from the date of this report. The cash flow forecasts have been stress tested for a significant reduction in sales with sufficient headroom, demonstrating the resilience of the business. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue their operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the report and the financial statements.”
