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 considered the Group's current and future prospects and its availability of financing and are satisfied that the Group can continue to pay its liabilities as they fall due from the date of approval of these financial statements through to 31 December 2026. Based on a review of forecasts for the Group through to 31 December 2026, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. In the event that the Group requires assistance to meet its financial obligations, then the parent would be able to provide support to the Group. The Directors have received a letter of support from the parent, confirming it will provide financial support to the Group if needed, until 31 December 2026, in order to allow the Group to continue to operate as a going concern. The Directors have assessed the ability of the parent undertaking to provide financial support and are confident that the parent has adequate cash resources to assist the Company in meeting its liabilities as and when they fall due, if necessary. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
