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 are satisfied with the Group's funding and liquidity position and have determined that the company is a going concern for a minimum period of 12-months from the date of these financial statements. Management believes that the company's cash flow forecasts and existing financial plans support this assessment. While there is some risk associated to political factors outside its control, management believes that it has taken adequate measures to mitigate this risk and ensure the company's continued operations. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
