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
“These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the director considers to be appropriate for the group and the company. After reviewing the group and company's forecasts and projections, the directors are satisfied that the group and company have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence and will be able to meet their debts as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. In reaching this conclusion the group and company have relied upon letters of support from related party entities who have confirmed that they will provide the necessary financial support for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The group and company have assessed the ability and intention of these related party entities to provide the support as required and have no concerns in that regard, the group and company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
