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

Going concern

Affirmed

These forecasts have been prepared based on market data, experience trading within the sector and anticipated future trading. There is nothing to indicate from these forecasts, that the Company would not be able to continue successfully as a Going Concern in the future.”
