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 prepared cash flow projections for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the approval of the financial statements which demonstrate that there is no material uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and to continue as a going concern. Exaktera LLC, Parent company, has indicated its commitment to provide financial support, if needed, to the Company for at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements to ensure the Company is in a position to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the going concern assessment period and therefore have prepared the Financial Statements on a going concern basis.”
