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
“Based on the current plans described in note 3.1 to the financial statements, and the current cash flow projections for the Group, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (12 months from the date of signing of financial statements). Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Following its assessment of going concern, the Directors have formed a judgement that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Group and Company continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Management has prepared a monthly cash flow projections for the period from January 2025 to December 2026, which demonstrates that the Group will not face a cash deficit in any month during the forecasted period.”
