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 Group is dependent on the support of its shareholders and have received a letter of support from Mr Hallett expressing his intention to continue to provide such support, in the form of non-recalling of existing loans and further funding as required by the Group to ensure the Group continues to meet its liabilities as they fall due. £9.8m of shareholder loans have been drawn down since the year end. In light of this financial support, and the Board's own considerations with regard to the availability of such support, the Directors have not identified a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.”
