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
“Buhlmann UK Limited is cash generative and profitable with a net current asset and net asset position on its Statement of Financial Position. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. The auditors concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate and have not identified any material uncertainties.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
