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 company has made losses in each of the last two financial years. The parent company is currently reviewing the service charge it applies to the company and is considering a reduction in this charge in future periods, which is expected to support the company's return to profitability. The parent company has also confirmed its ongoing financial support. Taking these factors into account, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Further detail is provided in the basis of preparation note on page 12.”
Significant events
- “New system installations went live with new UK police agencies.”
- “Continued development and implementation work for a significant European project.”
