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, having considered the financial position, forecast sales, estimated cash inflows and known and estimated cash outflows of the company for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. Accordingly the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence and continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
