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 Board of Directors is required to consider the group's ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors are confident that the group can continue to trade successfully and to provide an excellent and reliable service to our customers for the foreseeable future because we have a satisfactory order book from well-established customers and we have good liquidity and funding arrangements in place if needed. Thus we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
