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 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered relevant information, including the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment. The directors are fully aware that the current bank loan arrangement is due for renewal in September 2026 and are currently in negotiations for this to be in place in good time and are confident that a new facility will be agreed upon. The group meets its working capital requirements through funding within group members and associated companies and there is no expectation that this funding will be withdrawn in the foreseeable future. Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty in relation to the appropriateness of continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
