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 assessed the ability of the group to continue as a going concern. Forecasts for the 12-month period to 31 October 2026 shows positive EBITDA being generated, The group is winning new contracts and has negotiated new facilities and other trade credit arrangements post year end. Updated forecasts prepared by management indicate that the group will have sufficient headroom to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Hence the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.”
